It doesn't relevant for audience in this era.
Woman in this century has changed so much. The most toughest survivor out there, a woman; rape victim, abuse victim, single mother, war refugees, unwilling prostitute, unpaid servant and so on. Men become the opposite interest, woman applying celibacy and stepped out of from usual expectation in relationship. I don't say that marriage is bad or falling in love is a fraud thing to do. Although some people said that feminists are involved in 'daddy issues', between marriage and celibacy, women are actually free to choose. And happiness is not rely entirely in marriage. There are so different ways to gain love and happiness.
Okay, time for feminism movies. Disney, you rocks!
Well, for those who already watch it, Maleficent's motherly kiss saved Aurora, although she hated Aurora's dad for his betrayal and false love. How could Stefan cut Maleficent's wings and proudly married with King's daughter after giving Maleficent so much innocent hope and false reality about love? I can understand why Maleficent get angry, at first, before she saw Aurora and suddenly love that beasty. Screw you, Stefan! Using woman to get rich, horrendous man.

The other feminist in Disney Movies
- Pocahontas: Proud and strong-willed lady, she defend her beloved tribe from John Smith, although she loved him. She fought back, refused to accept his insults about her heritage and culture. Well, she have to teach the man she loved or else, who wants to get married with the one who doesn't respect her?
- Beauty and the Beast: Belle, a young adventurer girl who spend her life in learning and exploring the new things. Her town was lack of excitement and dull. She choose to step out and open up to imagination. And she pushed the idea of early arrange-marriage (because that man is a douchebag). She prefer to be smart, settle down is a later decision.
- Aladdin: I loved Princess Jasmine, the only feminine Disney princess I ever liked. I loved her by the idea she refused the arrange-marriage, her determination to live her life the way she wants to, and make her own decision. The other thing is, the idea she loved a poor man and help him to be a better person is a great effort. She doesn't discriminate, and she doesn't look down to poor people although she had money and rich. A rich girl should act like Jasmine. She's a humble princess.
Love is beautiful. But being feminist is not bad either. I believed in women's rights.

my pov on feminism is quite bias~ i'm not agreeing with it. as well as male chauvinism... we support equality in gender yet brought up coined the label 'feminism' into this world...any gender related word is not very kind thing to describe a human. --but I like the movie though ;)
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I agree with your point that it's not very kind to label human with gender. Yet, I was quite sad for what happened to my two friends. They got cheated pretty badly. I used the word 'feminism' to encourage them that they can stand back, fight back for their rights and being 'feminine' is the strength. Anyway, I'm so glad they're able to fall in love again ^^
Deletegender is ok. we all have woman/man attached to us. but that - label, it has the perception/discriminate feel to it. its like double standard treatment by using those label
Deleteyes, I understand that. Everybody has its own opinion and perception and mostly based on how they grew up and how society treated them. Between normal and obsess, there's thin line. Everybody can cross it.
Delete-i sincerely think this movie is about true love do exist even in the heart of most hideous kind we all perceive as evil
ReplyDeleteyeah, true love do exist. maybe some people don't see it clearly, just assuming. People can be pretty judgmental..haha
