The fate of Jafar:

"Second" is the curse of his life, and he also walked into the abyss by himself for this imprint that could not be broken.

Do you know what I have to do to get the power that I have?
The sacrifices that I've done, the bodies that I've buried?
The five years spent in a Shirabad jail?
People need to understand that they will pay for underestimating me.
Second is not enough!
And it will never be enough!

Jafar is so handsome

There is a rich history here. He spent five years in prison, and his five years of experience in the darkest and desperate situation led to his extreme way of doing things and his desperate desire to climb up, so he must be disregarding morality. "Second" is the eternal predicament faced by this character, and he believes that it is not his lack of ability and effort, but his origin that has caused him to be eternally inferior. Such a person deeply troubled by his own social status can arouse people's sympathy, and also find a real pain point for the villain: the rewriting dilemma of class. In the so-called "Magic Boy Comes into the World", the cry of "My life is up to me, I can't help it", eventually disappeared with his obsession.

Remember your place.

At the same time, there is also a narrative detail in his five-year prison history in Shilaba. As a street rat who struggled to climb up, he was destined to have a vengeful character. So he suggested that the sultan attack Siraba, which also set Siraba as the mother country of Princess Jasmine's mother, a small setting that immediately gave a powerful position of injustice for this attack, a concise and powerful detail rich.

I was once like you.a common thief.
Only I thought bigger.
Steal an apple and you're a thief ,steal a kingdom and you're a statesman.

("The one who steals the hook will be punished, and the one who steals the country will be called Hou".)

Only weak man stop there.
You're either the most powerful man in the room, or you're nothing.

Here comes Jafar's deepest quest: a piece of infinite power. His pursuit of rights stems from his heart that can never be filled in the poverty-stricken living environment. At this time, the character is endowed with a great inner dilemma, instead of being a "bad person" in the simple sense of fairy tales. He is so bad that people can even see the unbearable and ugly in his soul, which can be confirmed from him. From a viewer's point of view, it can be vented - I understand the purifying role of tragic characters.

Of course, his previous history of being a thief also reasonably explained the reason why he was able to escape successfully from being imprisoned.


Princess Jasmine and Aladdin's Love:

Their emotional fit:

-Every day I just think things will be different, but it never seems to change.
It's just sometimes, I feel like I'm
-Trapped.
-Like you can't escape what you were born into?
-Yes.
trapped

The two people who were both trapped by fate found a soul-mate after being chased by officers and soldiers at the same time: two people who yearn to express themselves freely and jump out of the rules given by life. The word "trapped" made the two feel connected. And they both appreciate each other's efforts to escape such shackles.

Detailed narrative: The simple melody that Jasmine picked up and played was taught by her mother, and it was also Aladdin's only memory of her mother. Enhance the emotional resonance between the two.

Aladdin's love for Jasmine lies in taking her to see the wider world, in taking her dream to heart and realizing it with her own strength.

I was saying you should see these places. I mean, there's a whole world outside of books and maps.
Sometimes, you just have you take a risk.

Regarding "risk", this is the third time that the princess is thinking: she ventures out of the court to see the world; she believes that Aladdin escapes the pursuit of officers and soldiers; and, accompanied by Aladdin, sees her country.

Among them, Jasmine took the blanket from Aladdin's hand and took the helm on her own. It was also the manifestation of her own awakening to see the world on her own under the leadership of men. This new world was developed by the two of them together.

a whole new world

In the passage where Jasmine recognizes Aladdin on the flying carpet, it also shows that what loves a person is his heart.

But how could I not recognize you?
People don't see the real you when you're royalty.


Jasmine's Feminist Awakening:

Jasmine's adaptation is a major highlight of the film, and "Speechless" has also become a major female lead single that can be side by side with "Let It Go".

The first is a rebellion against the millennium patriarchy. She believes that no new prince will love the country more than she does, and she has been preparing for it all her life. Of course, it's not enough for a princess who was prematurely banned from the court because her mother was killed to just have the heart to go out and see the people. She sighed after traveling a whole new world with Aladdin. Little is known.

Life will be kinder to you,princess,once you accept these traditions and understand it's better for you to be seen and not heard.

This also reveals Jafar's narrow-mindedness. While he desperately wants to break through the constraints of birth, he persuades the princess to abide by tradition and keep silent. (disgusting machismo)

And Jasmine also knew that she would definitely not be silent, the arc of character awakening.


Aladdin's transformation:

Aladdin is "the diamond in the rough", and his complacency in hiding his life experience after he got the magic lamp is in line with the tortuous growth path of a kind and rough jade.

street rat

His extreme kindness ranges from stealing necklaces in exchange for dates for children begging on the roadside (saving cats) and helping Jasmine out of trouble. The purest expression is when he and the elf have the first conversation after leaving the cave.

-So, what would you wish for?
-No one's ever asked me that before. It's an easy one, though.I'd wish to be free.
…I wish to be human.

At this time, Aladdin agreed to use his third wish to fulfill the elf's wish without even thinking about it. The elves worry that when you have more you want more. But obviously he had a glimmer of hope, and the experience of a thousand years told him not to believe in the greedy nature of human beings.


Elf's Breaking Rules:

Will Smith is so cute.

His love for maids did make him add a little bit of ordinary romance.

And the light of his soul lies in his breaking through the rules that elves should abide by and saving Aladdin.

However, Aladdin tried to tell the truth several times in front of the palace but failed to show his inner entanglement at the moment. Of course, the desire still buried his jade-like heart at this time. He has gone through a difficult process of confronting his evil self, and his character has become more complete.

-Aladdin is gone. I'm Prince Ali now. And, you know, I was thinking about my last wish, and I just can't do this without you. I know I told you I'd use it to set you free , but you heard the sultan. I can't let everything we worked for fall apart.
-So, you just never tell her the truth? You're gonna keep living the lie?
-It's not a lie. People can change…everything is better now. No one got hurt. You'd rather me be back on the streets stealing to survive? I thought you'd be happy for me. But all you cared about was that I use my last wish to set you free.
-Well, kid, I don't care nothin' about that wish. This is about you, what's happening to you. You' d rather lie to somebody you love than give all of this up.
-You don't get it, Genie. People like me don't get anything except by pretending.
-I think maybe you don't get it. The more you gain by pretending, the less you're actually gonna have. In 10000 years, I have never once ,ever called a master a friend. I broke the rules for you, I saved your life. And for what? You are breaking my heart here, kid.
heartbreak

I don't care at all what wishes to set me free. You really hurt me deeply. (Aladdin, wake up, this is love!!!!)

Of course, in the end, Aladdin did not hesitate to use the third wish to return the elves to freedom.
