The movie is for everyone.Īmazing thoughts. To my surprise, the 3 suitors in the movie do seem to resonate with the same thought that one must live their life on their own terms and partnership is about working as a team and not an individual. The idea that a male archer no matter how bad is better than a female archer no matter how good. The idea that your talent is just a hobby and not something you can pursue. The idea that one must not enter, leave alone excel in a man’s field as she may look like a threat. The movie is a reflection of the social situation of many. And why not? Why must anyone settle for less? Ultimately she listens to herself and unveils to beat each and every suitor in her chosen challenge – archery, announcing herself to be her best hand in marriage. Merida’s hair is her character, bright and vibrant, unruly but beautiful, something that stands out from afar, that cannot be hidden in a crowd. Merida’s lock of hair that keeps popping out of her tightly bound scarf reflects the unrest in her heart. A mother who believes that a girl’s true home is away from her home and the only achievement that makes a girl worthy is to abide by traditions while carrying its weight with great dignity. While the uncanny resemblance of the event that is held for Merida’s hand in marriage with that of the Indian swayamwar, and the caricatures that arrive in the form of valued prospects are hilarious but is it really? Every girl in pursuit of her dreams at some point in life faces a situation like this.
The plot of the movie revolves around the relationship of the mother and daughter, but we learn a lot more than that from a girl who patiently waits every year to practice archery, her one true love. Merida is not just a movie for little girls, it’s a movie for everyone. I had not seen the trailer of the movie before, just a poster and being a fan of Pixar and Walt Disney movies, it wasn’t really an option. To be honest, I decided to watch Brave because Merida’s hair matched mine, but it stole my heart.
