someone or something is forgotten?
If there is nothing to be remembered about them
how can they have existed once?

Yes it is a word<br />
Yes it is a phobia<br />
Fear<br />
So much fear in the world<br />
So much nonsensical<br />
Illogical<br />
Fear <br />
Fear, anger<br />
Madness<br />
Complete madness<br />
Is uncontrollable<br />
Is unexpected sometimes<br />
And it’s so cliche on others<br />
I know it<br />
I am aware<br />
And I can not controlled it<br />
There is no control<br />
No reasoning<br />
No appropriate response<br />
There is only<br />
Nonsensical fear<br />
There is no telling <br />
What response will come later<br />
There is avoidance<br />
There is stress<br />
I’m trying to be prepare but nothing works<br />
There is no space for happiness<br />
All the fear, stress anxiety<br />
Grows inside<br />
It needs a way out<br />
With tears, or cries <br />
Or bitching about it<br />
And there is no way to change it<br />
Because that is the freaking fear<br />
<br />
Fear of change</div>

Hating on the Little Mermaid. Not hating, really, but the whole idea of a young beautiful spoil princess wanting adventure and falling in love (like the Disney version of the little mermaid, and almost all the other princesses) is a bit ridiculous, and also very very improbable.<br />
To start with, the little mermaid, Ariel, is a mermaid princess and is the youngest of 7, with a loving father and an obsession with land and human objects. In the movie, as the youngest princess she does not have much to do but perhaps rehearse her songs for performances. She has plenty of freedom and her hobby is to go to dangerous places to scavenge wrecked sunken ships for human items to add to her collection, which is already big enough to fit a whole cave. <br />
Ok, so she is young and has time and is attracted by the unknown land world objects.<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-6ab36f07-7fff-335d-06ba-ee9d151bafad"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img height="320" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/YFSZ8_0T1LpbSGLxLn1b3zr_MZ8OCq7CKhNpBeMPII9yZ3sy63Jij4G87cESfYNp3Che3L3-nv3Nchme2ly6qP4g1owtl3hb-vVGDrLPP4JJH9Itk8ac08PFIwariSalrHIk5vwV" style="border: none; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="291" /></span></span><br />
Then when the father, King Triton, finds out, he is furious. Now, as an adult I do understand his fury, first, anything land related was forbidden, out of fear and anger for the danger it possesses for merfolk. Second, he is also afraid for the safety of his daughter, who, in search for this items, constantly puts herself, and her friend in danger. Third, she is just constantly and deliberately disobeying straight orders. Fourth, as a princess she is given herself and her father a bad image, how can he rule if his own daughter disobeys the rules set to protect her.<br />
Insert break here- a while ago a saw an article that described the life of princesses if there was a mother figure, or a more dominant mother figure in their lives and it nailed the little mermaid. <br />
You see, if Ariel’s mother was alive, Ariel would probably be more interested in singing and in other merpeople and mother would be able to calmly persuade Ariel into just believing it was a crush and not the love of her life.<br />
Well, Ariel as usual disobeys Triton and goes to the surface as a ship and fireworks appear. She falls in love with cute, prince (of course it had to be a prince) Eric. Storm comes, he is almost drowning and she saves him (a mix of Xenophilia and Nightingale Syndrome). Triton finds out about her obsession and love for human things and Eric and loses it. BOMB there goes the cave and all its items. A bit drastic, but hey is Disney and is a male figure dealing with his baby daughter having a crush with being who fall in the category of enemies.<br />
Now, Ariel’s reaction, tears, of course tears and drama. Perfect setting to introduce bad choices in the form of the Villain’s (Ursula) henchmen, or hench-eels more like. <br />
In an act of stupidity, courage, revenge and rebellion, she bets her voice and modifies her body for a chance to hopefully make the prince, whom she doesn't know at all, fall in love with her and live happily ever after, in a strange land.<br />
<br />
Now some of the reasons why this is stupid:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>She doesn’t know Ursula </li>
<li>Her friends tried to persuade her from doing something stupid, she ignored them </li>
<li>It is a bet or gamble </li>
<li>There is a time limit </li>
<li>She is losing her voice </li>
<li>The contract is only for legs, not to be turn back if wanted. </li>
<li>She is going because she believes herself in love with a guy she doesn’t even know. She only saw him, and saved him. Doesn’t know who he is, or his family, doesn't know how he is, his behavior, character. What if he was already married or in love with someone else? What if he was a drunk with bad manners and bad character? </li>
<li>She doesn't know how life is on the land, she thinks, based on her song, that is easier because you can stay in the sun all day, but she is not considering the daily reality of actual people who need to wake up early and sleep late because they need to work to sustain themselves, also, not thinking of the list of chores that need to be done in that age, specially by women not in nobility. </li>
<li>Also, I don’t think she read the contract, remember the small letters? No one reads the small letter for terms and conditions.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Be what it may, she changed her tail and voice for legs. Luckily for her, and because it is a Disney princess movie for kids, she is found by none other than her handsome, well manner, single (and willing) prince Eric, who takes her to his castle and treats her like the princess she is. She loved it of course, but what if, what if he left her with the servants? What if instead of being served by others she had to served the others? Don’t think she would’ve liked land life. Truthfully if she would’ve been found by any other person, she would’ve been made fun of because she would’ve been considered deficient in many ways, she didn’t have a voice and didn’t know the culture, how to act, what were the essential things needed for day to day life, and what were they for. Basically she was a useless, mute, probably considered dumb, young woman. In the original story by Hans Christian Andersen, she suffers greatly and she wanted to be a human to have a soul, the deal was to have a man fall in love with her but not because she fell madly in love with him for saving him. Also, every time she was standing she suffer terrible pain, and in the end the guy married someone else. That is a real story on what it is like to change your whole life with a witch's deal for something that is most likely not going to happen. <br />
Now the Disney version of course cannot show, at least not completely, and not at that time, the cruel realities of life.<br />
<br />
By the way, did you notice how Prince Eric was obsessed with the person who saved him? He wanted the hero, had a hero’s obsession and was going to ask Ariel to be together only because he could not find the woman who saved him. Thought everyone basically told him she was better than nothing. Yes, they did like each other and had a great time but his face and the way he saw her when he decided he was going to stop looking (more like waiting) was more a face of someone settling. Also, by the end when she gets her voice back and reveals herself to be the mysterious hero woman, he is totally in love with her because of that.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, Disneyfication makes everything be hopeful and wow what do you know it does happen. I mean is not bad to have hopes and dreams but truly, every decision she made could’ve gone horribly, horribly wrong. </div>

Boy oh boy, is the world mess up? Yes, yes it is.<br />
Just watching some movies because I have little else to do, actually a lot but I’m so stress that I cannot do it.<br />
The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a kids movie that should not be a kids movies because of all the mess up and more than real life themes it has. The point of the day is how mess up the world is, and how a few words can just F-up a person.<br />
Frollo, that SOB who unfortunately was the only father figure to quasi was so wrong, and yet right, and that is the worst part. Let’s start.<br />
Frollo is a judge in France and very religious (actually fanatic) who beliefs he is god send to purify the city. He is a fanatic because he only believes what he wants to believe, not a true religious person. So, for a fanatic person like him, anyone who does not follow his religious they way he does is a pagan. Now a pagan is just a person of the world, who usually follows other religious believes, but for many people or religious sects a pagan is usually identified as a person who worships worldly materials or even satanist. Any who, being classified as pagan in a world dominated by a certain religion, and religious fanatics is just not good.<br />
Then Frollo kills a gypsy woman who ran to seek sanctuary for her and her baby, Frollo thought she was running away because she stole something and didn't want to give it back. When he realizes it was a baby he also saw that the baby was deformed (his words not mine), and in this instance we see why else the gypsy ran. She ran, yes because she is a gypsy and has a baby to protect, but also because she knows that in that time and place, her baby was bound to a cruel life. Him being different, a gypsy and a ginger was more than enough to get problems. Remember, red was the color of evil and red-heads were seeing as<br />
Also, if you pay attention, the other gypsies that Quasi’s mom is traveling with could be relatives, or one of them could be Quasi’s dad. Now think about it, really think about it. Most if not all gypsies were brown/tan skin, dark hair, dark eyes. And then Quasi comes with light skin, red-hair, and green eyes. Yup, he was product of either an affair between the gypsy and a non-gypsy, or of rape, or maybe just a game of genes. Be what it may, he was just the perfect target for bullying.<br />
So, Frollo comes to kills the mom, and because there was a witness, he becomes the evil step… I mean guardian/master of Quasi. Quasi does not have contact with anyone but Frollo. First step for abuse, isolation, which also turns to financial because Quasi is dependant on Frollo. Then, Mental, Emotional, and cultural abuse come in.<br />
<i>Frollo: Remember what I taught you, Quasimodo. You are deformed</i><br />
<i>Quasimodo: I am deformed</i><br />
<i>Frollo: And you are ugly</i><br />
<i>Quasimodo: And I am ugly</i><br />
<i>Frollo: And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity</i><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Frollo has drill into Quasi’s head and heart that all that and a bag of chips. He constantly tell him he is unwanted by all, and makes sure he has no self esteem. Also, he makes sure that his heritage is either forgotten or hated, leaving Quasi with no identity of his own.<br />
In the awesomely frustrated words of Esmeralda “what do they have against people who are different anyway?”<br />
Why do they show all this pain and abuse in a kids movie?<br />
Oh, yeah because they don’t understand yet all of it… and it has a happy ending.<br />

Let’s talk about bad-ass female figures in movies.<br />I saw a bollywood movie, they are usually awesome specially because of some exaggerated effects. The movie was actually two in one, the story was nice, the main character male but there were some awesome badass female characters that really wow.<br />The movie was Baahubali. If you can watch it, both of them, although the guy ends up saving the day, the portrayal of female power and respect they demanded is something to really look for.<br />Let’s just talk about one, Sivagami Devi, Rajamatha (Queen Mother), was good, then bad, then manipulated but overall just a real good representation of female power. She was not perfect and one of her main flaws was her pride, thus easily manipulated. <div>
The story begins with her running away from some soldiers. She is wounded, with an arrow sticking from her back and carrying a baby. Then she sees the soldiers gaining on her. She hides, and when the soldiers are close she stabs one with the arrow she took from her back, takes his sword and kills the other. later she is trying to cross a river, but the current of the river and her weak state did not make it, she died while holding the baby long enough for someone to find. </div><div>Skip to the time when the story is narrating another story about the beginning of the story, in other words watch the movie.<br /><br />The story explains how Sivagami takes over the kingdom until either her son (Bhallaladeva) or nephew (Baahubali) are ready and worthy to take the throne. When Baahubali is born, his mother dies and she without questions takes him has her own son. Then she goes to have conference with the lords of the kingdom, some of them wanted her gone, but she was cunning and was prepared for that. In an attempt to kill her, one of them charges with a sword toward Sivagami carrying her baby boy. She just pulls her dagger from her dress and kills him without a blink. Woman, mother, carrying a baby kills a guy, gets blood on her face and only moves when baby starts making noise. She sits and starts breastfeeding her own baby and the one she decided to adopt. Doesn’t care about the blood of bodies in the floor. No armor, no war appeared, her beautiful regular female clothing, one baby on each side and her gaze, daring them to say something. Later, people ask her to assume the throne but she decides that that one of her sons will assent, she is just there until they are of age, and just so no one questions her she says:<br />“My word is my regime!”<br /><br />And then just sits there to see if there is any other idiot who wants to defy her command.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/boDd1cEeg4kfGiqYT74wOJrVS0V4oCg0oEZG1W96BIQzdwHkaFJxU2eBSJ_Imwqxb9KFPCjuM6fQ7Dx2VyRtAtNEb0SWi4dH0-9p0Lb9DnvADZBrKJ-2zdxSynwBJrhb_XSG2SKW" /><br /><br />There are other instances where she just stares at people and that’s enough to have everyone quiet and in fear. She seems cold, calculative, which is a little understandable given the circumstances. She is the regent queen, raising two boys so one of them can take the throne, and walking around the politics of a kingdom. Then we also see her mother soft side when she is only with her sons, taking care of them or worrying for them.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I see that I'm not very good at describing the movie, but seriously watch the movie. <br />There are other female characters who are beautiful, strong, smart and definitely don't bow to man’s comment just because. They fight alongside each other. They make their demands very clear and unquestionable. <br /><br />If you don't want to watch the movie just look for a summary of the story. However the summary would most likely leave some of the female strong scenes out and focus only on the main male character. </div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">The story of abuse, but with a happy ending.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">So the story has been told and retold in many ways, many times and with many deviations, but ultimately is a story of abuse, perseverance, resistance and hope. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">I used to like it then hate it then like it again, it’s complicated. It seems my mind and heart want to love the story, but my logical and practical side say it’s stupid. I can argue both and give reason for love or hate, but right now I’m just stating some facts.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Ok, so, Cinderella’s “original’ story we are never going to find, unless you got a time machine and can trace it all the way back. No, disney did not created it, nope, neither did the Grimm Brothers, and i don't believe Perrault did, but imma look more into that, later.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Anyway, back to the stories. The many versions of Cinderella usually have an orphan girl who ends up with step-family or some relatives who dislike her, there are usually two other girls who torment her and the mother figure who really loathes her. There is one paternal figure, mom or dad, in the beginning of the story but only for a small amount of time and then Cinderella ends up separated from any true family. In most of the older stories she doesn’t even have other relatives or friends, making her completely isolated and thus the better target for abuse without care for consequences. Later stories there is one or two friends but they have little power in the storyline. Usually the friends help to ease the burden of life, but not of abuse. Either they are the same age and don't really know abuse or they are older but don’t know the steps to take when that kind of abuse is going.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">The story however told, ends up being of abuse. Different types of abuse, it might not be the one when you hit someone, but you are not treating them with respect and kindness, and usually the main character is always been treated as inferior.</span></div>

Cinderella works her ass off fro other and she nevers sees a penny or even gratitude for it. Because she is usually very young in the story there is really not much she knows or can do about it. Also, this has been going on for some times and she is most likely accepted it as her life or doesn’t even realized she is being abused.</span></div>

However there always comes a break in status quo and that is when Cinderella breaks the rules and goes to the ball, or does something she really wants. Different stories tell of different objectives, a ball or a dance are usually included but the reason for going is different. In the Disney story the ball is the reason, in others the ball is a means to an end. She goes because its her opportunity to show someone something, or to prevent something from happening. The point is, she breaks from the status quo and finally realizes how bad she has it. Most of the time she has the help of her fairy godmother, but other versions have substituted the fairy part for that one true BFF. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Seriously what’s the deal with him? At least in the Disney’s Cinderella animated story he does nothing, seriously, not even look for her the whole idea was the king’s and the one to execute it was the duke. I want to give him a chance and think that maybe the followed one of the older version when he gets so sick of heartache that he can’t even get out of bed, but doubt it. Thankfully, later versions improve the idea of prince charming and that character is more involved in the story, going as far as actually helping Cinderella out of her min hell. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Back to my point.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Not everyone is a story with a happy ending, and Cinderella had to endure a lot of pain and abuse before getting her happy ever-after (however long that could be).</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Not everyone has a fairy godmother or BFF who helps us in bad situations till our prince charming (or the duke) comes to the rescue.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Some people like I said before don’t even know they are being abused, they just think that that’s life. Sometimes they will have someone to help them out, but sometimes the break doesnt come and we end knowing about it too late. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ok, so I just watched a
trailer for wreck it Ralph the second movie and let me tell you I loved the
princesses part.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now love for various
reasons one of them being that I do usually love watching Disney Movies.
Another reason is because they do admit that it is ridiculous what is used to
describe a princess.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">While Vanellope
encounters the princesses they all get in fighting position until she discloses
being a princess as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Then everyone gives an
example of how they are remembered or categorized or basically what made them a
princess. Also, did you notice that the princesses are usually only portrayed
in the most elegant princess or feminine attire from the movie? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Vanellope’s reaction is
awesome; </span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And then the cherry on
top<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Do people assume all
your problems got solve because a big strong man showed up?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“yes, what’s up with that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“she is a princess!!!”
everyone exclaims <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Thought I must point out
that most of the ones who asked were the classical princesses. Still most
princesses and women in general identify with the idea that a man (or partner)
is needed to complete us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Introduce break here:
this is a personal choice, chose to be with a man or a woman or whatever else
extra or in between, people can also choose to be alone. I am not criticizing
those choices, I’m only pointing that Disney always creates a partner for the
hero of the story, because the happily ever after seems to be lacking happy
without a partner to “complete” a person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Let’s admit it, Disney
presents a lot of nonsense in their movies. Magically delivered and
dream-come-true hoping, people-loving but nonsense in the end. It is until
recently that it has change some of its themes and presented women in a
somewhat different light. In the most resent movies the princess or damsel in
distress (DID) does not required the knight in shiny armor, or the charming
prince riding through the woods to save her. However, women are often portrayed
alongside the male character in the story. Whether he or she saved the day
there is still the “big, strong man” in the story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As I said before Disney
is a people’s pleaser, people wanted magic, there you go fairytale movies. People
want happiness, happily ever after. People want stronger women, many stories
with them being strong but men still save the day. Now, people want strong
independent woman and thought Disney has given strong independent women before
(Mulan, Pocahontas) people want them beautiful and feminine. Now you have Elsa,
magical and independent, and people are asking for a partner, a female partner.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ok, sure, at the end of
the movie she learned to be stronger than before but what about being the strong
independent being? Why people have to have someone all the time? Are you saying
that women cannot be beautiful, strong, independent and alone to be happy?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So, Disney I love you, but you have
to stop telling people that I need someone to complete them and save the day. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Talking
about the nonsense that is prince charming, specially in the classics, Cinderella,
Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Seriously the princes are basically useless,
just like the princesses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Why?
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Yes,
please ask why<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It’s
because they are passive stand byers. Come on, think about it what is one
heroic thing they did? Kiss the girl? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
am a romantic at heart and a good kiss is always welcome, but seriously Prince
Charming in Snow White makes two appearances, sings and kisses the girl, and
then rides off to the horizon to live happily ever after.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Then,
Cinderella, well he also made two appearances, in the ball to dance and at the
end to ride the carriage to their happy ending. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
people who make the most in the movies are the evil person or the fairy god
mother or the sidekicks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
princesses just cry, sing, dance and wait. The princes fall in love (yeah
right) with the pretty face of the lady, whom they don’t even know by name. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
heroes, or at least the characters who have more saying in the stories are the
sidekicks or the evil ones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Let’s
see…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In
Snow White everything starts with the Evil Step Mother/Queen, then when she
decides to take matters in her own hands she does. Yay for taking the first step
in solving your problems instead of waiting for a man to do it. Later, when she
thought she won, heigh ho! The dwarves come in and boom, no more evil queen. At
the end is when the prince shows his face and oh, so pretty face falls in love
with a poisoned pretty face. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Now<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Cinderella,
evil step mother wants a servant, and well I could criticize Cinderella but
seriously for the time being and the economy the smarter thing to do was being
a servant in a house you know rather than being a homeless young woman on the
streets. Anyway, yeah pretty-faced prince falls for pretty face in a ball,
neither knew the name of the other but one romantic night of dancing ensured
their love at first sight story. And who ensure the setting? The king for making the ball, the evil step
mother by making the ball be a dream come true, the fairy godmother who made
sure the dream came true as she went, and then the Grand duke who is the person looking for the Prince’s
love. And the prince? Fine thanks, waiting for someone to do the hard work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Lastly
(for now)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sleeping
Beauty<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ugh<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">They
fell in love, they talked and danced. Then evil fairy’s spell is underway, and Aurora falls asleep. Who rescues her? Well the prince, but only because he is basically a puppet for the fairies' magic. The prince is more active in

give him magic everything to defeat Maleficent, the shield, the sword, the aim,
all magic. Without their magic he would’ve been imprisoned for a long time or

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can you understand?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Are you willing to try?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a self-evaluated<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anxious, depressed and introvert person<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I must tell you that anything<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And I really mean it<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ANYTHING <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can be the cause of a mental breakdown<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mini or max<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Forgetting the keys<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Using long socks instead of shorts<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not finding the pen you just had in your hand a second ago<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And it happens to be in your hair now<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anything can be the initial cause<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But it doesn’t mean that the breakdown is only that<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The break down is because there is something that is
bothering<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Could be stress from work, school, family<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Could be that something is missing<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maybe a hug or two more before sleep<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or could be sleep itself<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You know introverts need a lot of attention <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But given in small doses <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Periodically<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please remember<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t want to be like this<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m not whining or complaining when I have a breakdown<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just need something<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I don’t know what yet<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And it is stressing me enough to make me act up<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please hug me<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kiss me<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tell me that you love me <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t ask me to calm down<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t tell me that it's minor<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know that<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And knowing that only makes it worst somehow<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please be patient<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And know that if I’m showing you that side of me<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Is because I trust you<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
and I love you too<o:p></o:p></div>

Disney<br />
The most lovable and hate-able company of make-belief and dreams come true for peoples of all ages.<br />
It’s so often praised and criticized for its fragile princesses, damsels in distress, and wishes of true love. Lately it has been more praise for its change from fragile D.I.D. to femme fatale, or something seemingly independent, but that is for another post.<br />
Among a favorite to criticize, in my opinion, is Beauty and the Beast (my sister’s favorite).<br />
now the analysis could go both ways if you really want to point out different points of view, but for the sake of argument and just this post, let's stick to just one, the illusion of love.<br />
<br />
It is often pointed that Stockholm syndrome is the main reason for Belle to stay and fall in love with the Beast. Some more romantic opinions are that it is indeed true love which connected them. Be what it may both sides of the balanced can be argued, however being the devil’s advocate, let’s use a third one. <br />
My opinion this time is that there was a different syndrome playing here.<br />
To start let me say that she was not really the helpless captive and victim. She chose to stay. She was treated nice by everyone but the Beast, (in the Disney adaptation, in the folk story the Beast continually shows love and affection). Later when she went to the west wing she was basically kicked out of the castle. No one stopped her, not that they could anyway, they just begged her not to go. She ran out and was free basically. But, because the Beast got injured saving her reckless behind from wolves she decided to go back and help him heal.<br />
<img alt="Image result for disney beauty and the beast beast injured" height="213" src="https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article10052686.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/Beauty-and-the-Beast-remake-just-filled-in-a-lot-of-plot-holes-from-the-original.jpg" width="320" /><br />
The Beast goes from frighting creature to helpless injured soul. Now, Belle being the gentle kind person stays with him because he saved her and he needed someone to take care of him.<br />
There, caregiver falls in love with helpless patient, and vise versa. The Nightingale syndrome. <br />
<img alt="Image result for disney beauty and the beast beast i never felt this way" height="175" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/69/fb/66/69fb66bca2a44f642cc8eb088e745e7f.jpg" width="320" /><br />
Belle stayed and helped him while he was weak, saw him when he was down and saw his soft side. In her mind, and others, she stilled saw herself as a prisoner of an enchanted castle, which was way better than her poor provincial town (the one she didn't like either). Remember, she always wanted adventure in the great wide out there, well in an enchanted castle with a Beast who just got injured for her, that's plenty of adventure.<br />
So, she connected with the Beast because both are misfit, misunderstood and prisoners of an enchanted castle. It could be many things but she got to know the Beast better when he was injured. <br />
Also, the Beast had some advice from the servants who would try everything to help him fall in love for the sake of everyone in the castle. With those advises and an injured self, the Beast only had to make puppy eyes, and give her a library. </div>

<br>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Frozen is the first movie to talk about ___ (fill in the blank).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">There are so many things said about Frozen that has brought on many hard core Disney fans and just regular fans to many disputes. Personally I do love the movie, just like I love most of the Disney movies. However, as a critical thinking person, I have to admit that there are always 'problems' with the movies, and idea maybe just not completely exposed, or a norm or value slightly twisted. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The
problem with the first sentence, in my point of view, is that it is an incomplete sentence.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Disney has had many movies where the girl does
not need saving, Mulan, Pocahontas, Merida (Brave). Even in many movies where
there is a male figure, the girl helps or the hero has outside help. Let’s
admit it Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty did nothing but a kiss. The whole
dragon slaying and rescue falls to the hands of the Fairies, they raised the
girl, planned the prince and princess’s rescues and with all their magic helped
defeat Maleficent. Most of the action in Snow White comes from the dwarves
chasing the witch/old hag. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many films have included extra help for the
prince or hero of the story and received no credit because the happy ending for
the princess seems to always reside with the man. Our society has been asking
for more female heroes, strong characters able to stand up for themselves.
Thought many films already portray a female lead hero these have been pushed
aside in light of the latest Disney hit Frozen. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Why
is this movie view as the first and only movie where a man-less female hero is
finally shown? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though other films convey the idea that a
woman can be independent, strong and happy without a man, Frozen is the biggest
hit and the most memorable one because it the first movie where the girl is
actually girly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">In
our unfortunately, still very patriarchal world a woman is still fighting to
get a place in society and break the norms. However, the norms keep changing
and women are not fighting just against men, but against themselves. The norms
and rules which created a group of people label feminist have been altered and
the name started to be applied lightly and/or incorrectly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://nev88.blogspot.com/2012/09/feminism.html?m=1" target="_blank">Feminism</a>

Remembering The Little Mermaid made me realized that Ursula was actually a good, if not great, Villain. It is not just because the unspoken, though obvious, trap for Ariel and Triton, but because she told the truth, most of it, the trick was how she told it. She admitted what she was, a witch, and what she wanted, her voice, and that there were consequences should Ariel failed to fulfil her side of the contract. Still the stupid little mermaid fell for it because she did not have a real mother or female-figure to follow. Also, because she is sixteen, with a crush on a cute prince and a nagging for adventure, and she is mad with her dad for breaking the statue of her crush.<br />
<br />
So, when it comes to men, and not just mermen, the only clue and advice come from Ursula, because she is the only one willing to give any type of information about human men. Thinking about what Ursula said about men, for the time and space where the story is taking place, let me tell you, unfortunately, it is the best advice. What she said is truth, just a little unexplained for a person with no clue about real human relationships.<br />
<br />
“You'll have your looks, your pretty face<br />
And don't underestimate the importance of body language”<br />
<br />
One word, patriarchy.<br />
You see, patriarchal societies always want a submissive pretty thing to have as wife for the power-focus male who wants to be a leader. The best way to sell her contract to Ariel is to convince her that she is getting the best part of the bargain and that men would only care about physical appearance thus she will get what she wants because she is pretty. Unfortunately that was truth before as it is now. Times are changing and now there is more than a pretty face and a nice body, even nice and pretty is changing definition depending on time and place.<br />
<br />
“The men up there don't like a lot of blabber<br />
They think a girl who gossips is a bore<br />
Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word<br />
And after all dear, what is idle babble for?”<br />
<br />
More unfortunate truth, even in not-so-old days women were left as not citizens and their vote was not counted because of their social status, which was only measure depending on the male head of family. Since the man is the one with the vote, he is also with the voice for the house and women with no voice, metaphorically or literally, were better because they’d not argue with whatever decision was made by the men.<br />
<br />
“Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation<br />
True gentlemen avoid it when they can”<br />
<br />
This one is still true in many modern societies and relationships. There have been many relationships which failed because of lack of communication. Men are used to just “suck it up and take it like a man” kind of attitude since they are kids and any kind of open feelings communication is usually seen not manly. The stereotype is women talk to much, and men usually just ignore them.<br />
<br />
“But they dote and swoon and fawn<br />
On a lady who's withdrawn<br />
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man”<br />
<br />
Yup, the cute, quiet, submissive, young woman gets the man. Even Ursula adopts that charade of coy when she is bewitching the prince.<br />
<br />
“Come on you poor unfortunate soul”<br />
<br />
Of course, the cherry on top.<br />
By appealing to Ariel’s feelings of distress for her first teenage crush, she appears compassionate. Any outsider can see what Ursula is truly doing, however, a teenager, with her first crush/love, and corresponding mood swings is too oblivious to any malice from someone offering help.<br />

The lack of mother figure and no communication in the family, from either the sisters or the parent, brings a disaster to the sea. Can you imagine how much easier could’ve been to just communicate and come to a solution or compromise? I mean, at the end it is Triton himself who sees that Ariel really loves the prince and gives Ariel the legs that she wanted.<br />

Just for the heck of it (and one of my classes reminded me of that) I want to retake an older post of feminism and rewrite with … ta ta ta taaaaaannnn Disney!!! <br />
Of course you figured that out already, anyway…<br />
<a href="http://nev88.blogspot.com/2012/09/feminism.html?m=1" target="_blank">Feminism</a>- An organized movement advocating social, political, and other rights of women equal to those of men.<br />

“I do realize there are some times where either the man or the woman is more qualified for certain tasks. There are differences between the sexes of course, that give advantages to certain activities, but those won't affect our ability to try at the very least.” <br />

“Men are naturally, usually, biologically stronger than women, because in old time and in hunt-gathering societies men have to be the ones to hunt and protect, but women were also helping with child-rearing, gathering food, water, the home, etc…” <br />

“Feminist don't have to just be all girly-girl, that's being feminine, nor you have to stop being so, and wear manly attire to demonstrate your capacity. There are occasions when pants are more practical of course, and others when a nice skirt or dress will do better. It all depends on the setting and environment one lives in.”<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Last weekend I was watching a movie with a friend. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Of course it was a Disney movie, it was Dumbo. And I can't stop my critic. Am I bad because I critic something even if I do love it anyway???</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So with my friend, after a few tears were shed, we were discussing how Disney is so not for kids. I mean it is, kind of, but if you really look at all the aspects and not just at the figurative-possible-to-reach-happily-ever-after, it has a lot and I mean A LOT of bullying, racism, stereotypes and impossible dreams. Could be that the main help in almost all movies is magic, after all they are fantasy. (I don't want to say a fairy tale because I'm having some conflicting emotions about them for the moment). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyway.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Baby Dumbo has big ears right, something unusual for his species. After that is discover he is ridiculed and criticized by his own kind. Not only that, but people -teenagers- who visit the circus were they work, break the rules and again make fun of him. Mom of course is infuriated, with all reason and justice and spanks the kids, but oh no the elephant is mad and is attacking people with no reason. Correction! she is defending, not attacking, DEFENDING, but who cares let's just lock her away and leave the baby alone. Not only is he separated from his mother but his own kind try to ignore him as if he was not an elephant, a baby elephant in need of love and care. That's right he is shunned from the elephant species by the other elephants. Sound way too much like high school and American society. Let me just remind people, he is still a toddler. Anyway after so much struggle and getting drunk (by mistake mind you), a friend of him, Timothy the mouse, finds a unique, beside the ears, special trait which pushes him to success and all the mock and hatred turns to admiration, by the brain-washable people who started the whole dilemma.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">And in all of this I wonder, where is the dad? </span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinyoJ8yqHYcqMbvGVTcDQXAjlsixPpFYviD0aziSjfmRqErrl-JUasKzPTaBV2aahXRZMS9diX65kMyjYwn7pR8ee-j2f9_Ey8u1j_LjOP9xBaVTbSaQ3nTg63GaH3AvKE5aHLHIio_D4/s640/blogger-image-481057004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinyoJ8yqHYcqMbvGVTcDQXAjlsixPpFYviD0aziSjfmRqErrl-JUasKzPTaBV2aahXRZMS9diX65kMyjYwn7pR8ee-j2f9_Ey8u1j_LjOP9xBaVTbSaQ3nTg63GaH3AvKE5aHLHIio_D4/s640/blogger-image-481057004.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, we see there rejection by the family, bullying by the society, glass ceiling from the employer and coworkers, forced separation from his mom, and more mocking -temporary- from other communities, the crows; and he is just a kid. Does is sound familiar? Yes it does, everyday of high school. If it does not sound familiar to you, congratulations, I don't know what kind of Utopian world you live in and I hope you never have to leave it.</span><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"> However, you know how many times this happens in real life? Lots of times. Kids in schools everyday are being bully because they look different, because they don't have a family, because they are alone and young, too young to know what to do and whom to follow to be in the right path. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">What's wrong with people? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The good thing to get from all this is that it is the smallest character who made the biggest difference: Timothy the mouse. He is one of those character who should be taken more in consideration. He is small, yes, but he is the ears, eyes, and voice of the circus... or at least for Dumbo. He hears the elephants discriminating Dumbo and takes it in his hands to give them a lesson. He tries to help Dumbo in his job, failure but it was with all good intentions to show and promote his potential. He 'arranges' for a family visit and in the mean time he is taking care of Dumbo, showers him, feeds him, cheers him up. Finally he discovers Dumbo's ability and supports him and encourages him to believe in himself. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There should be more characters and people like that. Small, seemingly insignificant but extraordinary and very important. No magic included, just the will to help others no matter how different they are. </span></div>
<div>

Bullying <br />
Since bullying is (unfortunately) something we've been seen a lot lately, well I just thought about .... any guess??? ... Disney !!! <br />
You see not only common people, minions or sidekicks get bully, also the princesses... Believe it or not... but do believe, it is true<br />
Anyway, because the movies always play a song for, well, any and all reasons, I decided to take one of the songs...<br />
Not all of it but here it is<br />
Beauty and the Beast<br />
<br />
[Belle:] Little town<br />
It's a quiet village<br />
Ev'ry day<br />
Like the one before<br />
Little town<br />
Full of little people<br />
<br />
--Belle seems to be discriminating against the town, oí mayor not discriminating but definitely criticizing, later we see why <br />
<br />
[Townsfolk:] Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question<br />
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?<br />
Never part of any crowd<br />
'Cause her head's up on some cloud<br />
No denying she's a funny girl that Belle<br />
<br />
--- town people criticize her, judge her because she is "Never part of any crowd"?? So? <br />
They don't like her because she doesn't conform, and she doesn't like them because they do.<br />
<br />
[Belle:] There must be more than this provincial life<br />
--Belle wants more of course, because she does feel like she belongs and resents the town's people, I mean who wouldn't if they call you strange, funny, not part of them.<br />
<br />
[Belle to the book store owner:] Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights, <br />
magic spells, a prince in disguise -<br />
-- of course that's your favorite, it has nothing to do with your life.<br />
You see, people force other people to want to be anywhere but there. <br />
<br />
[Townsfolk:] Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar<br />
I wonder if she's feeling well<br />
With a dreamy far-off look<br />
And her nose stuck in a book<br />
What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle<br />
<br />
-- why must people, girls, who like to read and think for themselves be a puzzle? Liking an doing different thinks is not bad, is actually encouraged, be different as long as you don't hurt others<br />
<br />
<br />
[Woman:] Now it's no wonder that her name means "beauty"<br />
Her looks have got no parallel<br />
[Shopkeeper:] But behind that fair facade<br />
I'm afraid she's rather odd<br />
Very diff'rent from the rest of us<br />
[Townsfolk:] She's nothing like the rest of us<br />
Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle<br />
<br />
-- odd, different, nothing like us? Why? Because she is beautiful and actually thinks?<br />
people have this tendency of judging others by looks, because Belle is beautiful and actually thinks she is odd, the Beast is ugly and seems rude is more acceptable.... That's a bunch of... You know.... Anyway never judge a book by its cover...<br />
<br />
Now here comes Gaston egocentric, moronic brute<br />
[Gaston:] She's the one - the lucky girl I'm going to marry.<br />
-- lucky? Yeah right? <br />
<br />
<br />
[Gaston:] The most beautiful girl in town.<br />
That makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?<br />
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her<br />
I said she's gorgeous and I fell<br />
-- you fell? <br />
You saw her and you fell for her looks, thinking that only good looks count... How much more narcissistic and egocentric can this be...<br />
<br />
<br />
Here in town there's only she<br />
Who is beautiful as me<br />
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle<br />
<br />
--- behold STUPIDITY, it would be good if this was just the fairy tale and cartoon, but no, this is real, people actually "think" (if you can call that thinking) and act like that<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute<br />
-- and I agree wholeheartedly on the BRUTE part <br />
<br />
<br />
[Townsfolk:] Look there she goes a girl who's strange but special<br />
A most peculiar mademoiselle<br />
It's a pity and a sin<br />
She doesn't quite fit in<br />
'Cause she really is a funny girl<br />
A beauty but a funny girl<br />
She really is a funny girl<br />
That Belle<br />
<br />
--- now hold your horses people --- pity and a sin???-- a sin? To not fit it, that's ridiculous, stupid,,, <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Anyway <br />
Well the point is there's bullying everywhere, even with the princesses. Started with Belle disliking the town and the people, but then we are that is because the criticize and bully her because she is pretty and she actually daydreams and thinks for herself... <br />
<br />
Mmmm<br />
That's all for now.,, </div>

I was enjoying the movie and I remembered one of themes some schoolmates and I were discussing about Disney- Ok, I admit we were just making fun and criticizing some princesses who are completely ridiculous.<br>Today's movie: <div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> Mulan</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">One of my favorites, she is strong, breaking the rules, saving the day, the emperor, the 'hero'</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> and the whole China, and she doesn't need to be a pretty feminine girly princess. She had to go through a whole male army training and got her butt kicked by the main male character, who at the end she likes, (I know, I know, what kind of person falls for the guy who hits her- could be masochism) not the ideal way to fall in love but remember she was dressed as a guy and joined the army in her father's place, and she didn't just see him and was in love, she saw him, and trained, and saw him grew as captain and person, and they don't end marry and happily ever after- at least not in the first movie. </span></div><div><div>
Well while getting beat up by the male-"hero" she also learned to fend for herself, became strong and survived male training -- maybe a bit extreme there, but hey we're talking Disney here, somehow rules of logic don't apply.<br>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZIzTAQisBtEU2Cjn8gEegxHs84focln3wAO07SoM_Ni1fO_L34Zqkdal3thDhUSoJF9wzgYKwGPclui03FN16nrMMKQpzYplshEiHC_ThiCLWQDn4_H8a57-SM0rahYJ2xO4FRPYMTuU/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZIzTAQisBtEU2Cjn8gEegxHs84focln3wAO07SoM_Ni1fO_L34Zqkdal3thDhUSoJF9wzgYKwGPclui03FN16nrMMKQpzYplshEiHC_ThiCLWQDn4_H8a57-SM0rahYJ2xO4FRPYMTuU/s400/1.jpg" width="400"></a><br>
Anyway, with my friends we were talking how it seems only white princesses (no offence) were the ones who needed the hero for everything. <br>
Mulan, Pocahontas, Tiana (the princess and the frog) they are the ones who save the day; and until lately they have been not ignored, but really unpopular. <br>
Snow White, Aurora (sleeping beauty) well they get a nice beauty nap, as if they actually need it, <br>
Cinderella, well the animals helped, <br>
Jazmin, mmm well Aladdin actually saved the day with his wit, but she was brave, same with Ariel and Belle, it was a mixture of both, and well Rapunzel saved by the guy, but then she saved him. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-V_3vGqnbG-0aDN81WS21BZvRrkpDw-XWv7O_STkaSwlnkH1wIcnFFGbycFQB6rOpGUFm4brFIgVewlk3uBRRBXHr2N5W7NfUnNAAmzN_iOVABgFf2x1TRPfZS2Ao22-MRpXD7Yv4Z3U/s640/blogger-image-454289380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-V_3vGqnbG-0aDN81WS21BZvRrkpDw-XWv7O_STkaSwlnkH1wIcnFFGbycFQB6rOpGUFm4brFIgVewlk3uBRRBXHr2N5W7NfUnNAAmzN_iOVABgFf2x1TRPfZS2Ao22-MRpXD7Yv4Z3U/s640/blogger-image-454289380.jpg"></a></div><br>
Now, just for the heck of it lets mention other female character, not really princesses, but among the Disney girls: Megara, from Hercules, doesn't save the day, but she is a motivation for her hero, as well as Jane, for Tarzan. Lady Miriam (Robin Hood), Esmeralda, Nala, <br><br></div><div>Tere is an understanding that being rescued is a bit romantic especially if the guy is cute, (which is an understatement because Disney guys are cute)but some of the princesses situations were just ridiculous, and some princes were not even the heroes (Snow White prince-what's his name?) or got help from other beings (prince Philip from sleeping beauty) so that's not really that romantic...<br>
Seriously is kind of pathetic sometimes, like in Tarzan's case (I do love Tatzan anyway) they love each other, but well I don't know if it is because so many things in common, or because Jane is the only human female he's ever seen... <br>
I'm not done but I have a little pest (nephew)who doesn't understand the meaning of stop... </div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>E AHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16596674205000962597noreply@blogger.com0
