wants to explore in the movie, whose true love kiss awakened Princess Arlo, we must first trace the root cause.
The current "Sleeping Curse" is adapted from an animated film "Sleeping Beauty" produced by Disney in 1959. It probably tells the story of a beautiful princess who was enchanted by a black witch on her 16th birthday. , Pierced the index finger by the needle on the loom, and then fell asleep until he got the kiss of true love. This is actually the core of the story of Maleficent. In the original story of
, it is the prince’s true love kiss that awakens the princess. This is the usual routine of the Disney princess movie series and our inherent thinking.
In "Slumbering Curse", there are two people who kissed the princess last, one is of course the prince, and the other is the witch who casts the spell on the princess. One kisses the mouth and the other kisses the forehead. From the effect, the princess is awakened after the witch kisses. But judging from our inherent inertial thinking, the kiss that awakened the princess should be the prince. So whose is it?
This starts with this movie again. The approximate content of the movie is about a negative man hurting a simple girl, and then the simple girl avenges the negative man by imposing a spell on the negative man’s daughter, but when the negative man’s daughter is growing up, he accidentally has a Virgin Mary plot for the little girl. , The story of repentance.
So this movie seems to be an adaptation of "Sleeping Beauty", but the core of the whole story has changed. The theme of the story has changed from telling the love story of Princess Arlo to a story about two generations of grievances. The princess changed from the first female to the second female, and the prince became even worse from the male first to a special role not as good as a crow.
With the design of the movie in this way, we have reason to believe that the last kiss that awakens the princess is from the witch’s Virgin’s kiss, so the so-called true love kiss, under the director’s tampering, has become a family kiss .
This is actually the most fun and interesting part of the whole movie. The director digs out his mind to use the big IP "Sleeping Beauty", and at the same time avoids spoilers on the plot because this is a familiar story. It may be a last resort to come up with such a peculiar idea, which is to make a fuss on the details of the original story. The kiss of true love is indeed silent, it is a kiss of love. This is how I thought it was a movie about love, but it was actually about family relationships.
Then we know who awakened the princess. Next, let’s talk about the first part of Maleficent 2 which is currently being screened in recent days. In terms of special effects, the first movie created a beautiful fairy tale world. But from the logic of the story, I personally think it is very far-fetched. The witch played by Julie is inexplicable about the little princess's virginity complex. With the strength of the witch, she could go to the palace to impose a spell on the little princess, and she could also get her wings back smoothly. This is a far-fetched point. Then, in order to prevent the princess from being stabbed by the needles of the loom, the king should burn all the looms, but no. Instead, pile them up and let the threat continue. This is a far-fetched point. Second, again, since all the looms have been hoarded in one place, why let the fairy take the princess out of the palace and live in a less safe little house, and it still makes the three very unreliable The fairy takes care of the princess. This is far-fetched point 3.
personally cannot understand the plot logic of the movie. But the movie scored very high on the movie platform, and the box office that year was also good. So it also means that most of the audience is buying this kind of movie logic. Don't understand. Maybe this is a story design allowed by fairy tale movies.
