Disney has around 50 animated films. That is way too many if you ask me, seeing as most of them are annoying little kid movies. 'Tangled' fits into this category, and as usual was not very good. It was romance mode, quite obviously, and there were tons of symbols. The romantic theme was at times amusing but mostly annoying, because a romance movie is really only good for young children. The movie was just like most Disney animated movie, with a boring and predictable romantic plot.
First of all, the plot, which was very romantic. Starting out with the fact that Repunzel's dream is to leave the tower to watch floating lights on her birthday. That seems like a pretty lame dream, and also the minor conflict at the start. It also was very predictable, when they seemed to be stuck between a rock and a hard place, they would always find some way out. The evil in the story was the evil mom who wanted Repunzel because her hair made her stay young. That is a pretty romantic evil, then add the two big lumbering brutes who were quite comical. The movie as a whole is very unrealistic. Magical hair, floating lanterns, not exactly every day life. And at the end, Repunzel gets married, which is the symbol of life at the end the romantic plot.
Along with the plot, it also came with symbols. There was bright green grass every where, the forests brimming with flowers and life. The sky was blue and there were big white clouds. The night sky was starry. Every where you turned there were romantic symbols. And Repunzel's hair was gold, a romantic color. Almost everything in the movie had some sort of romantic symbolism to it. The movie was obviously romance, the symbols are all there.
The movie was just a usual romance film. The plot follows almost perfectly along with the plotline of the romance mode. The symbols are everywhere, be it grass, sky, animals, whatever. Everything about the story was romantic. It had nothing special to it, and just was meant for kids. So, it was quite boring at times, and extremely predictable. The movie was just any old animated romance movie.
I agree with you on the plot and symbols. There was really never a time when the scene wasn't romantic. The plot matched perfectly to the romance mode as well.
ReplyDeleteYour willingness to share your convictions, your opinions, is admirable. I would point out at the same time that especially when we write something critical of others, or another topic, we need to be careful to get what we write correct. If you go back and reflect on your sentence structures, you use very simple structures, syntactic devices, to complain about how overly simple the film was! It's pretty ironic actually. I would love to read a scathing write-up on the film, but I would really appreciate it if you raised the bar as far as the quality of the writing is concerned. I know quite well what you are capable of.
ReplyDeleteYour voice really stood out in this piece. I agree with you on the plot and all the symbols. Almost everything in the story was romantic.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you, that this story is obviously romance. Your willingness to share your opinions really helps with the piece. I can definitely hear voice in your piece.
ReplyDeleteYou used great voice throughout the entire writing piece. I agree with you on how there was a ton of symbolism. You may want to go back and revise what you wrote though, because there were a couple errors.
ReplyDeleteI like how you share your opinion and I could really hear your voice well.
ReplyDeleteI love how you had so much voice in this piece. You should remember that movie titles are underlined. In your intro, the movie was not underlined. Anyway, I liked this piece a lot.
