Movie: Brave
Genre: Animated
Synopsis: The eldest child
of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and
Queen Elinore (Emma Thompson) is Princess Merida (Kelly MacDonald). Merida is very headstrong and rebels when her
parents attempt to force her into an arranged marriage – a marriage designed to
help keep the kingdom’s chieftains united.
When she refuses to submit to the marriage, chaos threatens to overtake
the kingdom. Merida does a lot of growing up when she tries to repair the
damage suffered by her kingdom and her mother.
My two cents: After hearing
great things about this movie, I was kind of disappointed. I did not see Merida as being much of a role
model for young girls. Granted, she did
not allow herself to be pushed around.
But the selfish and spiteful actions she takes show that she does not
bother to think of the repercussions to her rash behavior.
