BRAVE movie review

Movie poster of BRAVE

Brave is an animation film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2012, directed by Andrews and Chapman. It is a great and meaningful movie, but there is one thing I want to denounce the princess is that, she is too irritable and she can’t say “it’s not my fault” after she accidentally turned her mother into a bear.

The princess Merida

Plot of "Brave" is about the princess, Merida.

Different than most of the others animation films, the story of “Brave” is no longer not talking about the prince and princess. “Brave” tried to tell the audiences about woman’s right, life value and mother love and I think these made the Queen Elinor became the greatest character in the film.

Merida’s mistake turned her mother, Queen Elinor into a bear. The queen was danger, she might not turning back to a human, she can’t talk forever maybe, but she never blame on her daughter, princess Merida. She shows us the greatest of mother love.

Although she turned into a bear, huge body size, boorish, but all these can’t stop her from protecting Merida as a mother, this is the most meaningful part for me. 

I really glad that "Brave" is not about the happiness life of prince and princess. Merida shows us the attitude and right of woman nowadays. Her behavior and attitude affected the portrayal of traditional woman, she shows us the “Brave” of being herself. At the end of the movie, she influenced her mother, the Queen Elinor as well. Merida doesn’t dream that her prince will come; she doesn’t have to because it’s clear that, within the logic of the movie, the alternative is comically unthinkable. It’s no great surprise that she wins the struggle to determine her fate. But hers is a contingent freedom won with smiles, acquiescence and a literal needle and thread with which she neatly sews up the story, repairing a world where girls and women know exactly where they stand.
