A film that I highly recommend, completely shaking up the image and storyline of Disney princesses for decades
Hair like hay, skirt wrapped in rags and those thick legs, are so different from the slim, elegant, meticulously combed princess I remember? And that skin color...isn't it a little darker?
Also, the prince actually omitted Maui, the only male protagonist in the film. Surely those nostrils and eyes aren't from the set of "Tangled" next door after he got a perm and came to make an appearance?
The story of "Moana" is actually very simple: Moana was born on a closed island in the center of the ocean, and the members of the tribe have lived a self-sufficient life for hundreds of years . . The chief's father hoped that Moana could stay on the island and become the next chief. However, Moana was born with a desire for freedom and she heard the legend of theher grandmother's tribe, so she embarked on a wonderful maritime adventure.
Moana never took "princess" seriously from the beginning, "I'm not a princess, I'm the chief's daughter." The implication is: you are the princess and your entire family. They are all princesses. ! For her, “princess” is simply hereditary, and “queen” is a sacred responsibility and challenge.
The male protagonist Maui appears as an equal to Moana. Both are not perfect and are mirrors of each other. Maui has the hook, Moana has the paddle; Maui is a demigod and Moana has the sea to protect her. Moana was born with an unruly and indulgent love of freedom, while Maui has always lived in front of others. Moana learned of Maui's responsibility, and Maui found himself thanks to Moana.
Without their fair and delicate skin, their feminine walks and their sweet and harmless character, princesses would not beThey didn’t lose their “elegance” for this reason. They always shine in the crowd and cannot be ignored. Only by removing the corset and letting go of the chains of “woman” can we better explore what we truly want to achieve as a “person”.
For Moana, the sea symbolizes a calling and gives her a feeling of security on the path to her dreams. Along the way, the sea always appeared at the right moment to protect her, but more often the sea simply accompanied her in silence, waiting for Moana to understand everything and regain confidence. Isn't this type of relationship like Shu Ting's "To the Oak" the best way for men and women to get along? The sea is the best little friend of the new era!
Write it at the end
Be your own master first, then be the real princess
< /p> p>When watching the Disney Princess series, like many mothers, Iworried about whether my children would be constrained by the “princess-princess” model. “Sexism” has ravaged the entire history of human development. Every time I see news that contains gender-related words, the “patriarchal” atmosphere of the comments is irritating and, as a mother, I feel even more worried.
Whatever happens,We will no longer live obediently according to the personality given by patriarchal society and male-dominated society. Only by being our own master can we be the true princesses. Follow your own heart, devote yourself to your dreams and start your own life journey.
