Within a duration of about 2 hours, I was able to journey through my childhood days, and enjoy each and every bit of the ''Whole new world'' as well. Almost three decades have passed in between the old and new film, yet not a single emotion is absent in the new movie. It is as fresh and soothing as the old one. Hats off to @guyritchie, the director of the movie, for recreating most of my favourite scenes.
Although a debate about @willsmith as the #genie is on air, Smith is too awesome for this role. He has done great justification for the role as well as for the movie. Once again, he proved that he can portray any role in any movie as efficiently as one can think of. @menamassoud as Aladdin is too adorable. He justified the multifaceted character of #Aladdin - a street rat who is forced to earn his living by thieving, a selfless vulnerable guy, a trustworthy friend and a true lover. But what I like mostly about Disney is the paradigm shift of its recent movies; a shift in the trend of female characters from dwelling on a bubble of romanticism to strong women who can earn their own positions in the society by themselves and not by the mercy of the patriarchal society. #Jasmine of this decade can speak about their own demands. They need no help of any man. They know what they want, and how to get them. Jasmine (played by @naomiscott) is perhaps the best role in the movie, and will be remembered by the audience for a long time.
The most powerful tool of this movie is its songs. Old songs are recreated in a wonderful way, especially ''Whole new world''. The new song #Speechless is also too good and powerful (I've already listened to all the songs almost a thousand times in a loop since release)
The VFX and other technical tidbits are indeed praiseworthy and mind-blowing.
Almost all scenes are breathtakingly awesome. Was there a genie in reality, I would have wished for such wonderful movies from the house of Disney in future...
Thanks again to @disney for refreshing our (me and all 90s kids) childhood memories and gifting us a magic carpet ride, far away from lustreless reality, for full two hours. It's a must watch movie for all 90's kids.
