This movie was honestly great. I didn’t even know there was so much controversy surrounding the movie until a few weeks ago. I think right now everyone is highly critical, and hyper-sensitive given our political climate. We all have good reason. However, looking at this movie from an objective view, I didn’t see any extreme subliminal political messages. Perhaps I wasn’t looking for any. I saw romance yet bravery, I saw fun, wonderful vocals and great acting. I saw a fairy tale with a modernized twist. That’s it, nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps if we weren’t always looking to make everything about politics it wouldn’t be so. With everything going on in our world, I have been practicing how to just enjoy and just be sometimes. We can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. We can have a romantic fairytale combined with a story about bravery and fearlessness. It’s ok. None of the Disney live actions have been completely accurate to the original. And it shouldn’t have to in order to be considered a good movie. We are taking the innocence of young children by making everything more than what it should be. That’s it, that’s my rating.
