"Brave" is a fairy tale that is no different from other cartoons in terms of character and plot design. Melita's fiery red and thick hair, the cute images of Melita's three younger brothers who are agile and small, as well as the elves shining with blue light in the forest, etc., are all magical elements that constitute fairy tales. But judging from the theme and values of the story, Brave is not a simple fairy tale. Even though the protagonist Melita is a fictional animated character, the drama that happens to her is surprisingly similar to reality, and the beautiful quality in her is exactly what we need. "Brave" is not a simple fairy tale, but a science film. Why? We will analyze and ask questions in the following points.
1. The mother loves her but tries to imprison her
At the beginning of the film, Melita's narration appeared, she said that only a few people can be favored by fate and change their own destiny with their own hands. She said half a sentence right and half a sentence wrong. It is right that only few people can change their own destiny with their own hands, and being favored by fate is non-existent, because fate is in their own hands, and there is no such thing as being favored or not.
What difficulties did Melita encounter? The mother considered her as a woman, a princess, who needed to practice etiquette and marry a prince at marriageable age. Melita is rebellious by nature and likes archery and adventure. She doesn't like being a decent princess, and she doesn't want to marry a foreign prince who she doesn't like at her mother's order. She was a happy and comfortable princess before she came of age, but things changed completely when she came of age. Her mother began to ask her to do all kinds of proper etiquette, to speak well, to dress as a lady, and so on. All of these had clues before she was arranged to find out her future partner through a competition, but out of respect and love for her mother, Melita didn't say anything, even if she didn't want to, she did it. The real fuse came when the mother decided to recruit her parents to choose a future partner for her. Melita was furious, picked up the sword in her hand and cut through the embroidery stitched by her mother herself, and fled on horseback.
Does Melita's mother love her? Of course love. But why force Melita to choose a prince to be her husband? Because of the secular and traditional. So then we have to ask ourselves a question: Why would Melita, her wonderful and understanding mother, be imprisoned by worldliness and traditions and in turn imprison her own daughter? I can't find the answer to this question, and I leave the question to millions of readers.
2. How much does it cost to change a person's concept?
In the end, Melita succeeded, because she tried to ask the witch to change her mother's mind, but she turned her into a bear by accident. So to make the magic disappear, you have to waste some effort, let's see what Melita has done? Everyone in the castle is an enemy of bears. No one believes that this big black bear is the queen. Every guard and warrior, even her father, wants to kill the mother who turned into a bear. Melita escaped from the castle with her mother and went to the witch's shop to retrieve the magic antidote from the witch. But the antidote given by the witch was for Melita to go back to the castle to retrieve the torn blanket, sew it up, and at sunrise the magic would work forever. Going back to the castle, getting the blanket, and breaking through the guards' defenses and escaping the castle before sunrise, this difficulty can be imagined. In the process, the bear's mother nearly died. Of course, in the end, Melita successfully unlocked the magic, and the mother who became a human also changed her pedantic concept because she realized the difficulty of maintaining personal relationships and respecting each other in the process of becoming a bear. This is a happy ending.
Then we have to ask two questions at this time: First, what made the mother who became a bear change her concept? Was it out of fear of death and magic, or because of her admiration for Melita's abilities? 2. How much effort and cost does it take to change a person's concept? I leave this question to the reader as well.
3. What does Melita's success depend on?
Melita nearly failed, dramatically restoring her human form by throwing a blanket over her mother just moments before sunrise. Her success is logically analyzed from a practical point of view. First, she had a firm belief in her goals. Melita doesn't intend to compromise with her mother, even if she knows she has made a terrible mistake (turning her mother into a bear), she has no intention of retreating, and she still chooses free love. The first thing to do is to turn her mother back into a human being. Her perseverance and her strong desire for the goal even made her deliver an exciting speech in front of the three major families at a time of crisis. Hair smart.
Second, she remains optimistic. Let's think about Melita's level of difficulty. First of all, she didn't get a clear instruction to unlock the magic. The witch vaguely left a mystery: stitching the cracks. What cracks are sutured? How to sew? None of the witches told Melita. And the witch also set a time limit for crossing the border, the next day at sunrise. And the worst part is that the mother turns into a bear instead of other animals, and bears are her father's most hated beast. This makes Melita face several difficulties at the same time: 1. Solve the mystery. Two, race against time. Third, protect the mother. A little girl who just turned 18 actually accomplished this impossible task. She relies on persistence and optimism.
The excellence of "Brave" is that the values it conveys are impeccable. As for some inconsistencies in logic (see the previous questions), it is indeed its shortcomings, but the values it conveys are indeed worthy of our learning and courageous persistence. The legend is not so far away, we all have to learn to turn bravery into our own principles and hold the legend in our own hands.
