So back then when it first came out, not gonna lie...it was dull & boring starting out to me. But retrying now I'm glad I've been able to rewatch. Sticking it out and giving a 2nd chance turned a cool story on screen to life. Friendship was beautifully displayed in touching manners of loyalty, heartbreak, sacrafice, & determination. I loved the costumes. The storyline reminds me of Ever After High meets Maleficent vibes. Choosing bonds over "cliche love" is so much more progressive & enlightening. I love the components of empowerment by themes of femme fatales, teamwork in being harmonious to what is dark & misjudged, learning what lies within truths, emrbacing identitiy, using unity to outsmart the balance of things , redemption, humanity tested to grow after made mistakes, challenges pf faith & self esteem & lastly devotion to compassion, empathy, roots, & forgiveness. I enjoyed the idea of thinking for yurself and breaking away from what is told to in conformity, to instead make yur own fate come to life by yur own will, might, smarts, & determination where one internally is what they believe than what everyone tells them.
Very outside the box & outside the lines in a beautifully rebellious fierce way. I highly suggest 4 entertainment, 2 witness sappy moments of strong commerardy, the displaye of overcoming labels & distinctions, to ultimately see for yurself and the well constructed visual of what choosing your own destiny means. Looking forward to a sequel and I hope it happens soon.
I enjoyed the frateninzing behavior of make overs between the social classes & I found it cleaver the portrayal of "good" attacking first like a misguided action that can be more dangerous when naive or vain. I respect the moral lessons & the realities of knowing we all have a negative and positive constructs ;that's what makes us have a soul. When we stop to have a guilt complex its guided by concious mind & morals by becoming self aware than only trying to accept one side of things. Things r gray in real life & this truth bleeds thru to viewers who honestly need acceptance to be learned n this modern age we live in. Its a good lesson for youth to witness & learn to not stray from ones true self but from what others force onto u. I enjoyed the cast used & I respect the idea to question superiors by digging into details. 8/10 recommend purely for fantasy purposes!
