Thought this post, specifically about Brave, was really thought provoking.<br />But I was wondering if you ever thought about the fact that this first female character poisons her mother and accidentally poisons her three brothers. For a film about family, it seems to me that she shouldn't necessarily even be the hero of the story. Most of the time, people fall under enchantments because of an evil character, not by the heroine: for example, Ariel sells her own voice, not poisoning her father to get what she wants. Anyone else who casts a spell on anyone is a villain, not a hero: imagine if in Snow White gave the apple to the queen, or if Aurora had her mother take the fall and prick her finger on a spinning wheel. Would we be rooting for them?<br />Hope you maybe find this thought provoking. I truly love your blog and find it really entertaining!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
