must have a question in many people's minds. Why has Disney remade a lot of classic movies in animation over the years? In fact, this is related to the box office sales of Maleficent in 2014. This Sleeping Beauty remake film starring Angelina Jolie reached a global box office of 730 million US dollars that year. The success of this film, to a large extent, opened up Disney's film remake journey for several years. So compared to other Disney remakes, why is "Maleficent" the most classic remake of Disney?
"Maleficent" visual effects are pleasing to the eye
"Maleficent" is a pleasing movie, the visual effects of the movie are excellent, even after many years, watching "Maleficent" again is still a visual feast. The vision of this film is all due to the rich colors of the film. What is certain is that the visual effects of Maleficent are much better than all Disney remakes. The visual effects in the film not only borrowed from the original animated film, but also added the color that fantasy movies should have in the narrative. In addition, the creative team behind the movie has always followed the aesthetics of the Middle Ages, so that while watching movies, we also have a sense of time travel. 06:24

"Sleeping Mantra" created a successful character: Marlene Fissen
The classic feature of this movie, in addition to beautiful special effects, Angelina Zhu Marlene Fissen, played by Li, is a role unanimously recognized by film critics. Her performance was perfect. She turned a traditional Disney villain into a likable character, and turned the story of the traditional Sleeping Beauty into a story of Marlene Fisson's self-salvation.
Angelina Jolie through her acting skills, let our audience's focus completely focus on the movie villain Marlene Fissen, she made us more willing to go, what on earth made Marlene Fissen go to Princess Aurora There was such a cruel curse on him. It can be said that the villain of this movie not only steals the limelight from the protagonist of Sleeping Beauty, but also makes us fall in love with this originally hated Marlene Fissen. Angelina Jolie, Marlene Fissen, is one of the most exciting parts and highlights in the movie.
"Sleeping Mantra" has a unique concept and theme. Another advantage of "Sleeping Mantra" is the theme and concept of the movie. These themes are missing from the original "Sleeping Beauty" story. For me, the most important themes in the film are salvation and admitting mistakes. Marlene Fissen in the movie is indeed a villain. Because of her jealousy, Princess Aurora lives in a cursed life. But "Maleficent" did not design Marlene Fissen as a hopeless bastard. Marlene Fissen was a bad person. Her behavior was bad and she was also punished.
But, since we saw her betrayed terribly, we should feel sorry for her. Her anger towards King Stephen is totally justified. However, her angry expression hurt innocent people. She did not aim at the angry object, but at the innocent Princess Aurora. At this point, we would think she was cruel.
"Sleeping Curse": The most important thing is not your past.
Another surprise of this movie is that Princess Aurora has become the "mentor" in the traditional sense of Marlene Fissen. She feels through her kindness Marlene Fissen. She made Marlene Fissen realize that she had done something wrong and that she should not hurt an innocent person, precisely because she did her best to make things better, and she was eventually forgiven and repented. On the contrary, another villain in the movie, King Stephen, did not do anything to correct his mistakes, and eventually died as a villain. Therefore, in this movie, Princess Aurora is the mentor of Maleficent, and King Stephen is a comparison figure of Maleficent. His death shows that if you incorrectly correct your mistakes, it will lead to What kind of punishment comes.
Compared with other Disney remakes, Maleficent has won a bold change in the plot of the movie. Redemption and admitting mistakes are the themes of this fairy tale remake. A villain, even with a tragic background story, must learn to repent. What matters is not your past, but who you decide to become and what you are going to do to become who you want to be.
