You already know I'm trying to read more books,
But there too exists a list for movies, accumulated over the past few months.
So.
Here goes. I hope I don't bore you.
-Lion King
I haven't ever watched this before, and I sure wish I did as a kid- I'd have loved it. It's pretty impactful. Death in a Disney movie was surprising, and so was a cunning two faced character alongside that. Losing yourself and the struggle between your real personality and responsibilities were things kids wouldn't have understood, but I guess it's applicable to all ages and so is a great movie.
The only sad thing about this is that I never encountered it as a kid. Now at the withering age of sixteen/seventeen I don't quite feel the magical prowess of it, nor do I love it. It was alright.
-Aladdin
Yet another movie I've never watched and didn't get swept away by (IM SORRIEH FORGIVE ME)
I don't know.. I read the book version of it as a kid and loved loved loved it. But now as some jaded human, I find the love to be pretty predictable and kind of shallow.
I'm really glad the genie was freed, though.
-Mulan
Never watched it- I'm starting to wonder what I actually watched in my childhood- Supernatural ones because my family was big on it and never empathized with me? What about when I finally started hiding in my room when their eyes remained fixated on the screen and I couldn't stand my imagination- and so joined them yet again?
Ugh. Just went deep into an unhappy part of childhood there. *sniffles*
Where was I?
I didn't like the guy in this. Mulan was great though. Determined and yet feminine, not boyish (although that'd probably have been fine) and the dragon was annoying at parts. (Donkey from Shrek was pretty lovable though)
Still, I like this film. It makes you smile.
-Beauty and the Beast
You know the story- Me ain't watched it before.
And I loooooovved it. I love it!
There were times where I teared up, and the girl wasn't some innocent, tactless, sweet stereotype of a female- She had her very own character and was agreeable and polite without being submissive.
I relate to the beast (Let's face it, most people probably do) and it's a beautiful love story in my opinion. :>
So yes. Am currently embarking on the ride to The Little Mermaid soon, so stay tuned *wink* for that, although I may or may not have insulted you readers through my thoughts for the other films.
-Funny Games
Disney films aside, I watched some psychotic crazy film by mistake. The name sounded.. Fun.
It wasn't.
It wasn't!
Holy mother of crackers, it wasn't.
It was this pair of brothers who went around choosing families to kill, and it basically makes you gape at the screen once the niceties are over and done with and things just escalate. Somewhere later you're all 'I did not expect this. I did not sign up for this!'
... Yeah.
Probably should be writing in a less vocalized manner from now on.
I suppose o didn't learn anything from this- But it has impact, in a different sense. Perhaps you might want to try it. Perhaps you mightn't. I would, but I wouldn't have if I knew.
So that kinda means I would have despite being mentally scarred for half a day after.
-There's some others but I can't remember.
Rewatched The Princess and the Frog (love it, meh for the guy), Cinderella (the live action version. Apart from the guys wearing skin-tight leggings, I loved every second of it and have re watched it for three times now. Loved it when the prince was disguised when they went from door to door looking for Cinderella!), Tangled (found it great but cringeworthy at some parts- Don't you feel like certain reactions were a lil too dramatized and not naturalistic because it was trying to be 'real'?), Home (LOVE. IT.), Toy Story (I never knew Woody was a jealous hypocrite who grew throughout the movie! I thought Buzz was a villain. Gosh I was such an insensitive kid.)... And some others. My brain's waterlogged right now with some song playing in the background and floating book quotes as well as random math formulas and bio facts. I suppose, if a human brain- any human brain- were to be animated or illustrated so as to provide a concrete visual representation of it, it would be a chaotic and random arrangement, with multiple emotions and unrelated things jumbled all together- Even if the human is relaxed and frankly, not distressed in the slightest.
There, I did it again.
Typos, overly long sentences..
And I forgot most of what I set out to write in the first place.
Hoho.
Happy New Year guys.
I'm gonna grab me some sleep so as to function again.
... Yeah.
