I've always appreciated Disney's family-friendly style of animation, and every age group can find joy in it. Although many people think that "Moana" is full of routines, and the theme of "finding the real self" is also quite old-fashioned. But Disney is a very good storyteller, he knows how to adapt to social trends, how to add new elements to traditional stories.
Looking forward to a room of your own
Leaving aside the improvement of animation technology, the strong female liberation position in the film is really interesting. Looking back at Disney's many princess animations, from the silly white and sweet vase princess in "Snow White" and "Cinderella", to the heroine Baojia in "Pocahontas", who is independent and brave and loves nature, to Melida in "Brave" who fights against the shackles of tradition and fights for her true love, and elsa, most recently, in "Frozen", I want to be the queen. Disney's princess is no longer the little woman who "waits" for their prince and lives a happy life with him. They are more likely to reach out and grasp their own destiny.
Like in Frozen, what saved Anna was no longer the prince's love kiss, but the affectionate embrace of Elsa's sister. And this "Moana" makes the place of women in the "story" more explicit, and also plays the self-blackness - "If you wear a dress and have an animal sidekick, you're a princess!" ” “Why？” Now no one yearns for a princess anymore, and now they have evolved into a woman and Wonder Woman. The sick and full of the old impression of the virgin heart hidden behind the "princess" has been unpopular with the public. Since "Brave", how many times have we seen the princess not hold hands successfully?
In short, in recent years, Disney's heroines have generally said that they are in love and have no interest. For contemporary women, I am afraid that it is no longer more to expect that him, but to "look forward to a room of your own" as Woolf said!
How Far We Will Go
When Moana's father took her to the place where the stones representing the tribal chiefs were stacked, he said in a serious tone, "Now, it's time for you to be the person people expect." "My heart was inexplicably tight. And Moana's answer made me familiar and kind, "What if I can't be the kind of person people expect?" This is probably the confusion of many people when they are young. Your parents think you're unique, but you don't feel it. The family inheritance became a simple and pale expectation. Looking at Moana's father is like seeing the epitome of countless parents today, but is this love appropriate? As everyone knows, there is a kind of kidnapping called good for you.
Why is that?
Countless parents are desperately trying to improve their children's abilities, but often ignore themselves. Parents are the factors that have the most profound impact on a child's development. When the elders continue to emphasize that good schools are good teachers, they have ever wondered whether they are enough to become a qualified "teacher". In the film, Moana's father, in my opinion, is not qualified for this, he limited Moana with his own pattern, and also lost the family's love and exploration of the sea.
In addition to knowledge and love, parents should pass on to their children a kind of thought, a spiritual brand and wisdom crystallization that has been baptized by the years. Many people may think of stereotypical things like family rules and family training, but have you ever wondered why only family members have them? The inheritance should be passed down from generation to generation like the love of the sea in the film. It's not our last name, it's not our house, it's not even our pedigree. It is buried deep in the bone marrow, even if countless generations of life are just independent islands, they can still be connected by the sea, based on the blood and inheritance as the medium, forever.
When countless parents are working hard for life and creating better conditions for the next generation, please don't forget to continuously improve your cognition and condense your own experience wisdom! Your child will be based on this.
