    Merida (Kelly Macdonald), the impetuous but courageous daughter of Scottish King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), is a skilled archer who wants to carve out her own path in life. Her defiance of an age-old tradition angers the Highland lords and leads to chaos in the kingdom. Merida seeks help from an eccentric witch (Julie Walters), who grants her an ill-fated wish. Now, Merida must discover the true meaning of courage and undo a beastly curse before it's too late.

    27:48 The moment when we realise Elinor hasn't just been training her to be a wife. She's been training her to be a queen. Etiquette, history, public speaking, things you need if you're going to be leading a clan or a kingdom alongside your husband, just like Elinor has been doing. We all know that Elinor is the one who handles the political side to everything in the kingdom, Fergus is a warrior but he has no skills of negotiation.

      Though there are mother-daughter relationships that are like Gothel and Rapunzels', I'm not gonna deny that.
      "Mother knows best, so hush and obey." is a theme in both, but Elinor actually cares about her daughter. She is just too obsessed with roles, tradition and doesn't know how to properly address her love for her daughter. That is what this movie is focused on, both mother and daughter finding a common ground and ending up understanding each other a lot more. Tangled is about the "daughter" fleeing from her kidnapper and returning to her family (at first unbeknownst to her).

    • @amberanime
      @amberanime Před rokem +148

      It's because it's stars a daughter and her mother. Girls grew up being able to relate to father and son, and boy stories in general. Little boys get almost no exposure to stories not starring little boys in some way. It's getting better, but usualy if it stars a girl it's a romantic movie where falling in love is key to the story. Brave is one of the earlier animated blockbuster movies with a female protag that wasn't about finding romance, and instead about a complicated but loving mother daughter relationship. This type of story is rare, and thus not popular with a lot of male watchers. This is not true for all guys obviously. Plenty of boys watch more movies and series with female role models these days. And girls can dislike this movie for whatever valid reason as well. But who this movies stars DOES play a role in how it was recieved. Had this been the exact same story with a funy male protag and fergus as father who turned into a bear the movie would not have been rated as bottom pixar tier.

      Maybe not. But I still think that people also have to be aware that that’s generally not going to be royalty’s first thought. As commoners, our own well being would take priority naturally, in modern time in most countries. But it’s not the same for them. They have way bigger responsibilities and heavier burdens so personal well being (while may not necessarily be less important) it’s not what’s going to be their first thought.

    Since you brought up bears being everywhere, it’s seen in Celtic myth that the goddess “Artio” is said to change into a bear form and human. She was seen as a protector and shown as a symbol of motherhood. Bears were also seen as a sign of kingship, which shows in Merida’s home since her father is the king.

    15:49 But that's just the thing. As we find out later Elinor wasn't exaggerating when she said that, or when she said "there will be fire and sword if it's not set right." Before this story started the games were there to arrange marriages without one clan accusing another clan of favouritism or secret alliances. That was when they were enemies. Then they became allies when they were invaded. Now they're still allies but there's no enemies to fight and all three of the lords plus Fergus have long memories and short tempers. The safety of them as a collected kingdom rather than four seperate clans is resting on a very fragile alliance, so now the games are there to make sure that that alliance holds strong without giving anyone a reason to fight with each other.
    I think Merida does know his but doesn't really take it seriously or believe that it could actually happen - re when she imitated Elinor saying "We'll expect your declarations of war in the morning."
    I'm not saying I'm in support of this and I'm not blaming Merida for her actions. The whole arranged marriage thing reeks of unfairness and no one should have to get married to someone they haven't even talked to yet when they have no choice in the matter.
    But.....well it's difficult. Your valid right to want to live your life for yourself and make your own decisions....vs the safety of your home, your family, your whole country.
    I mean personally I'd rather get married to secure peace rather than get married because my family's either rich and want to stay right or because my family was rich, lost their money and want to become rich again, it's a lot less selfish. But it makes me glad I'm not from one of those families and that I get to have an actual say it in.
    I guess that's the thing - both Merida and Elinor were right.

      Sacrificing women on the altar of unfairness and forced marriage just so the men won’t fight is hardly an admirable way to solve any problem. That’s kind of the point of the movie.
      And it’s not as if the men like it much either, but it’s particularly heinous for the women in that situation, given how MUCH they are being FORCED to give up. Their life, their freedom, their bodily autonomy, their health when they inevitably are forced to produce heirs. It’s horrifying. I’m sure that Merida is fully cognizant of the risks of refusing, but the darkness of the life ahead of her, that she DOESN’T WANT is just as bad to her. One is a risk, the other is a guaranteed life of slavery- physically, reproductively, mentally. She said “no”, and it’s her choice, the men’s problems be damned.

      That's the beauty of the story, we see how Elinor realises how much it would hurt Merida to give up her freedom and we see Merida realise how much work Elinor does to keep things stable and what she's trying to protect, and because they can see it now they were able to come up with a new plan giving Merida and the entire younger generation of all four clans a choice in their future.
      Still also say that Young Macintosh, young Macguffin and Wee Dingwall all now owe Merida big time for getting them out of an arranged marriage, hoping they'll be grateful to her for that enough to swear allegiance to her regardless when she becomes queen and they all become the lords of their respective clans.

    This movie was my entire childhood and my brother was obsessed with the bear fight scene so much that he tried recreate it with me by getting with me as boys do. I even had the Brave story time cd where it had songs and the story but the Touch The Sky song was my favorite and it got stuck in my head all the time.

    Merida is still one of my favorite princesses (Third place after Mulan and Rapunzel, just because films dedicated to them are better). Not the best Pixar movie, but one of the best Pixar character. She’s so like me when I was a kid and kinda like I am now. Also her mom is literally like mine, she still thinks that the conflict of the story wasn’t in both of the heroines behaviors, but only Merida’s, and Elinor was right all along. Guess my mother didn’t see the whole message. Think that’s why she reminds me of this queen who never listens even to a really opened dialogue…
    Plus, I do too have an important thing without which I couldn’t leave like Merida with her bow. And my mother tried to took it away many times and even stole one of those things when I was at school. So yeah. I feel this in a lot of levels.
    Oh, and Merida’s father = my father.
    Love you, dad 💙

    I remember seeing a trailer for this for the first time when my mom and I went to the cinema to watch Titanic during the 100th anniversary of the sinking. I usually don't start crying until Nearer My God to Thee is played but that time I started crying over the trailer for Brave because 1) I didn't know about the film and obviously didn't expect it, and 2) it was the trailer where Gàidhlig / Scottish Gaelic was spoken (sung) instead of English. As an American who has been mocked by my own family for fifteen years for having an interest in Scottish culture, hearing and seeing that on the big screen, done with such incredible attention to detail, was a very emotional, cathartic experience for me. I still have my interest in Scottish culture. I've since been fortunate enough to meet most of the Scottish musicians that were involved with the soundtrack for this film, and for the How to Train Your Dragon films. I can't wait to see your reaction to the Doric dialect scenes. It doesn't sound like it to the untrained ear but he is speaking English.

Fun fact: Merida is one of the first princess (in blood) that doesn't have to have a man to save her and deals with her problems on her own.
