She has to say that she is sorry, and this act brings reconciliation. To restore order she must start becoming the woman her mother prepared her to be. But she realizes that it’s all her fault. Merida, on the other hand, makes a huge mess. At the end everyone apologizes to her, and she gets to live happily ever after. Ariel makes a huge mess and sits back while other people sacrifice to clean it up. Both seek the aid of a witch to change their situations. Both run away to escape oppressive familial expectations. Ariel and Merida both have red hair and fiery spirits. I like to think of Brave as the anti- Little Mermaid. The Little Mermaid created the “princess script” that later princesses have followed.
#Mother and merida brave movie
A princess in a Disney movie apologizing? Admitting her sin to her mother is Merida’s true act of bravery.
Third, at the movie’s climax, Merida tearfully apologizes to her mother. Her mother had prepared her to hold a kingdom together. She realizes that her mother was training her for a greater purpose than self-actualization. Second, in order to start changing this fate Merida must mimic her mother in dealing with the quarreling nobles. First, the movie uses the character Mor’du, who had torn his own family and people apart, as a warning to Merida, showing her the consequences of her actions. I’ll offer a few reasons to justify this idea that a wrecked world is Merida’s fate. Her fate is to destroy her family and her people. She’s headed for disaster, and through a selfish choice brings havoc to her family. Her fate is rebellion against her family and her people. Each quarrel and misunderstanding leads to the next, and Merida’s fate is not an unhappy marriage. I think that’s the beginning of her fate. Is that the beginnings of her bravery? I don’t think so. Merida defies her parents and humiliates her suitors. By the time Merida’s unsuitable suitors have arrived, mother and daughter are fighting like only mothers and daughters can. She resents the training that her mother, the queen, has given her. It seems obvious that an unhappy marriage is the fate that Merida must change. She’s a headstrong girl who is destined for an arranged marriage, and she decides that she needs a way out. Merida’s story follows this same pattern to a certain extent. The princess feels trapped, must throw off societal or familial expectations, and finds happiness by following her heart. What is Merida’s fate? Audiences are very familiar with Disney’s “princess script” pioneered by The Little Mermaid.
The first question that the movie poses is “What does it mean to be brave?” The narrator answers by telling the audience that bravery means “changing your fate.” Here’s where things start to get a little subtle. However, Brave whispers when other Pixar films have been more outspoken. Brave asks its audience to think about values and society, just as Pixar’s Wall-E and The Incredibles did. However, audiences and critics are not noticing its freshness because this genre is so familiar and the film is so subtle. It might be too subtle.Īs usual Pixar breaks new ground with this film. On the whole, Brave is Pixar at its best, but it might have one flaw. The movie is beautifully animated, and the voice acting, especially Emma Thompson’s, is excellent. Things don’t go according to plan, but it all works out in the end. Like most Disney princesses, Merida feels stifled by her current situation and attempts to makes some changes. Brave introduces Merida, a feisty Scottish princess with a bad habit of laying her weapons on the dinner table. I recently took my daughters to see Brave, the new movie from Pixar and Disney, and I found it thought provoking.
