#Lil brave 2 bow review movie#

That isn't brave at all! The whole easy conflict wasn't resolve, when it could had. All, she did was postpone her, trouble fate. The agnatic seniority society still lives and she still has to marry somebody. While, the film is certainly set in a feministic world, where the women secretly control the state, while the men ruled in public. In the end, Merida doesn't really change, anything.

In many ways, this show how pointless, this movie with its choices. If Merida was so into her fate, why did she bother trying to change it, with the Highland Games and with the witch!? It doesn't seem brave, when you think about it. Fate says that you have no choose, that decisions are meaningless and choices are an illusion. Merida's message comes off, as confusing. So when, it tries hard to introduce, fate into the mix in the opening. The film is so heavily invest in that theme. It's all about the issues, when it comes to her freedom of choice. Anyways, Merida's problem was never, about how brave, she was.

What is the movie, trying to say? That you have to be brave, but willing to let fate, lead you to own demise? I somewhat get the brave part, but who says, that you have to clueless and lead yourself to danger! Maybe, the movie should be, call 'stupid'. They always lead her, to more misfortune. I don't understand, why Merida would trust these creatures not once, but three times. This is far away from the truth folklore, in which they are evil beings that lure victims to their deaths. They're portray as good spirits, that help the protagonist lead her to her fate. Another problem is the Will-o'-the-wisps. Symbolism or not, though, it's still very sloppy writing. Near the end, Merida and Eleanor fight this supposed selfishness curse altogether, to show that they're willing to change. While Merida is about breaking tradition for individual rights. The curse, overall, deals more about total greed. First off, the curse of Mor'du and Merida situation only vaguely relate to each other, when it comes to theme of selfish in this movie. These magic odd legends that doesn't mesh well, with the rest of the film.

Personally, I think they should have removed these magic bear sub plot lines completely and focus more, on the conflict of war & marriage. While, yeah, they're two different movies I felt like Brave fell flat where Brother Bear didn't. That movie did such a better job, in showing the dangers of selfishness, while understand responsibility when it comes to family and growing up within a community. The whole 'magic bear transformation lesson', storyline seem like a rip off, another Disney movie, 2003's Brother Bear. Another problem with the plot is that it felt very recycle. The usual talking animal trope that often comes with humans-turned-animals is sadly not here. I think Queen Elinor turning into a bear, kinda hurts the plot, since she's unable to show, her side of the story. The movie rarely gives them, any time to talk it out, and listen to each other, due to all the weak conflicts. Not once, throughout the film, was I convince, that they truly understood each other's problems. The problem with it, is the fact, that it's very underdeveloped. Can they work out, their issues with each other or will their kingdom suffer, because of it? Watch the movie to find out! Without spoiling the movie, too much, I give credit where credit due, the writers did try to add something new to the Disney princess motifs, with the whole mother & daughter, mend the bond relationship. Both must learn to sacrifice, some their values, and ideals in hope to grow, a stronger, and meaningful relationship. Soon enough, both women are, in the crosshairs, with each other. Merida thinks, otherwise, ignored her duties, in hope, of making her own path in life. Her over-bearing mother, Queen Elinor (Voiced by Emma Thompson) is so intended is to keep her people alive, that she is willing to marry off, her daughter to the firstborn sons of the clan leaders, in hope for peace. The movie tells the story of Princess Merida (Voiced by Kelly McDonald) whom just come of age. Directed by three people, Brenda Chapman, Steve Purcell & Mark Andrews, and set in medieval Scotland.

The animation is beautiful, but it looks like they stole or mirror CGI designs from DreamWorks's 2010's How to Train a Dragon film.
