Brave
Hooray I finally saw Brave about five billion years after everyone else
It was really good. And it’s SO NICE to see a mother/daughter story, because man, there’s like none of them. (Thousands of father/son stories, of course…) Heck, I reckon even if I hadn’t liked this I’d have still been glad it actually existed.
But I did like it! I liked Queen Eleanor the best. Also Merida and her hair. (Her hair was practically a character in itself.) And I LOVED that she didn’t have a romantic interest. A lesser production team would have had her hook up with one of the suitors, and I’m so glad they didn’t do that.
Also I loved that there wasn’t a villain. Not Queen Eleanor, not the witch, not even the demon bear. (After all, he seemed pretty glad to not be a demon bear anymore.) Instead, there were just loads of people making stupid mistakes. Merida tore her mother’s tapestry, Eleanor burnt her daughter’s bow (and then instantly regretted it- I loved that), the king almost killed his own wife because he wouldn’t listen to his daughter, etc.
Yes. Good movie. Very good movie.
