New Meta in Maleficent Disneys Maleficent takes a twist from the original tale by changing the point of view to the antagonist and showing the character development throughout by shedding light on unseen emotions that would not be resent in the original. I enjoyed this adaption showing the background or motive. I’ve never seen this approach to present a story this differently from the original before in a movie and I hope to see more movie adaptions like this. The way Maleficent was portrayed being betrayed and finding redemption remind me of the lone survivor a character from Fallout 4 who loses everything but has determination to find his son. The lone survivor doesn't have a real name but he lived in an alternate universe where advancements …show more content…

  • What Are The Similarities Between A Separate Peace And A Separate Peace

    750 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the novels A Separate Peace and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time there are a number of themes. The books have so many similarities in them. All of the characters love and help each other get through things that are tough in their life. One of the problems that all of the characters face is being lost. This isn’t one of the themes that I chose, but I think it puts them together nicely. Most of the characters want to be put back on the right path in the story. By the end of the novels, they all achieved this goal. The three things that helped them do that were the friendships and sheltering that they had and the forgiveness they gave and received.

According to the movie King Steph Betrayed Maleficent by cutting off her wings because King Steph wanted to be king because he would rather be king then join her. This supports the theme because When Maleficent woke up and she realized that her wings were off, she wanted to get revenge on king Stephen for cutting off her wings and she didn't know why he would do that to her, she thought that they were really good friends and from that point on she knew she had to get her revenge on him.

    ...and the Pelican Child long after Alexander Afanasev wrote The Frog Princess, he innovatively incorporated certain parts of the classic version into his own, and the combination lead to elements of lessons and values evoked throughout the entire fairy tale. Ranging from the life lessons about taking action yourself to the lessons about keeping your happiness independent of the actions of others and basing them within the stories with the plot line and the lack of punishment amongst the villains seamlessly weaves the morals with the fiction. The similarities and differences combined together create a unique fairy tale that incorporates all the main aspects of the classic fairy tale while adding newer features simultaneously. These traits of the fairy tale are what has kept the fairy tale alive for such a long time and will keep them alive for many more years to come.

Parents should be aware of the subliminal messages that their children view in the Disney movies they are watching, and grow up to believe that is how life goes. The children that are growing up watching Disney movies with such strong gender stereotypes are learning things they may factor into their own futures, and think that acting the way of the Disney roles is the only way for them to live their life in a happy manner. The way Disney animated films assign gender roles to their characters effect young children’s views of right and wrong in society. It is wrong, and they should not be exposed to such material growing up because it is harmful to their future expectations.

    Disney films have always been a huge part of the pop culture. They featured instantly recognizable characters among every age group. These characters, especially the princesses, have been very influential, more precisely on young girls, from Belle to Frozen. However, the majority of these films revolve around the same plot with minor differences: it is always a tale about finding romantic love, a prince charming who saves the princess from a danger and they live happily ever after. However, in 2012, Disney and Pixar produced Brave, a movie that challenged the types of Disney movies we were used to. It favors feminism and gives girls a nontraditional princess model. Brave stars a strong female protagonist, Merida, and an influential plot that

All are movies about the females being damsels in distress and having a male come to their rescue. Charles Perrault’s original version portrays the perfect version that children all around the world should be watching. Children are already very impressionable and what they watch when they are younger is how they eventually will act. How they grow up rests on the children movies and books of that generation. Those movies and books are what form the future leaders of our countries and for one very impressionable company, such as Disney, to be favoring one gender more than the other can result in chaos. Overall, Charles Perrault’s feminist lens in his story can lead girls to an empowering high self-esteem.

    With the second wave of women's rights surfacing, Disney upgraded their roles of females as well. With The Little Mermaid(1989), Aladdin(1992), and Beauty and the Beast(1991), they all had different roles, and they shared one specific trait: curiosity. They also strived for something new. Belle was the most remarkable with the fact that what defined her was her brains and intellect. Beauty and the Beast really pushed the patriarchal views of women in France at the time.

    Women have been in movies since they first started playing on the big screen, they have played an assortment of roles, the damsel in distress, the first one to die, the poor scullery maid who ends up a princess, the evil witch, etc. While some of the roles have shed bad light on women, for example being a femme fatale, other movies have set positive examples for the future generations. As time has changed, the Disney princesses have evolved with it, each princess becoming more outspoken and independent, influencing the young women of today to want to grow up to be just like them, “They enact a shift from the "princesses" of ballet to the "heroes" of sport. Heroism, egalitarianism and autonomy are slipped into the conventions of Disney princesshood” (Do Rozario, R.,C., 2004, para. 34). In Mulan the movie, Mulan saves her father by disobeying him, and taking his place in the war by doing that she ended up saving her whole country. Disney isn’t telling young women to disobey their parents; they’re showing them that while you may be a girl, you can be brave and succeed.

    A person can take a story and look at it from many ways. Fairy tales represent the transformation of young people. Beauty is transformed into a young woman; she passes through the stages successfully and in turn is able to love. Every story teaches a lesson and in this case more than one lesson is taught. Not only is the lesson of sexuality and maturity taught, an even more important lesson is taught. Beauty and the Beast shows that true love comes from within the inside and if it is meant to be it will prevail.
