Brave Is a 2012 animated film produced by Disney Pixar in the United States. Won the 85th Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film. This article is mainly to interpret this film, to see what philosophy is contained in it, and what enlightenment it gives us at present.
At the beginning of the story, our heroine, Princess Merida, is strictly disciplined by her own Queen Eleanor, moving smoothly on the road paved by her parents, and then ushering in a family marriage. Because of this blind date, a huge rift appeared in the small estrangement between relatives.
We often hear things like, "Listen to me!" You must listen to me! "I'm all here for your own good!" I'm all here for this home! ”
Don't discuss it beforehand, don't let you participate, force the other party to accept your own ideas, and only hope that you will obey her orders according to her words. My qualifications are higher than yours, my skills are greater than yours, my age is older than yours, and here I have the final say. I am in a position of great authority, so that I do not have to listen to any opinions of you people, and I do not want to hear a word of what you say, but you must even remember the tone punctuation of what I say. On the surface, they came together to discuss countermeasures, but in fact they issued orders and notices. As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man, you may prove that the elders are right afterwards. But just because of this, can you not listen to her people's voices? Can you ignore her feelings?
The aggrieved Melida was reluctant to accept the fate that had been arranged. Since she couldn't change or fight, she chose to flee. Complaining, fantasizing, expecting... Hate your own parents, blame your children, envy other people's partners. Why are other people's children so good, why are other people's families so warm. Why was he born in such a family? Why is your fate like this? Why is reality always not as you think it is?
Heartbroken, Melida stumbled to a strange place — the fork in life.
The person who runs away from home, the lonely person, at the confused crossroads of life, or because of temptation, or incitement, or ignorance... Any empty word that can change the status quo will be firmly believed, believe in this seemingly beautiful illusion. In this way, it is easy to completely break up this family that has a rift.
The intelligent and elegant Queen Eleanor was particularly strict with her daughter's education, but ignored her daughter's feelings, which backfired and forced her daughter away. Knowing that what he said is so reasonable, knowing that his own approach will be of great help to the future, why can't the other party listen to it? Why is her daughter so keen to go to the wild jungle? How can we change the other person's mind?
You can't change others, you can only change yourself. Queen Eleanor did not turn her daughter into the imaginary, but turned herself into a black bear that people hated and feared- this film and television technique is too graphic. When this black bear has to do what she loves with the other party, does it better understand the other person's thoughts? Do you really feel the happiness of the other person? Do you really understand why the other party is so obsessed with doing these things? Has today's upheaval changed his original mindset?
The light in the darkness led him to a very skilled stranger, just because this stranger listened to his own speech and met his own needs, he believed in the other party, hoping that the powerful stranger in front of him could bring miracles to himself. It is so easy to be deceived and used by the person in front of you. After waking up, you came back to him to settle the account, can you still find it? When an evil man does something bad, the first thing he thinks of is to run, that is, to overturn his house, and he cannot appear, and if he really can't escape, he will throw all kinds of pots.
Those things draw you step by step to another path, but never tell you what you will pay for it. You want short-lived happiness and give up long-term stability, and it will guide you; if you want to learn the truth and mend the rift, it will guide you; what you want in your heart will give you direction. What do you think when you find what you want? Obviously aware of the strange, obviously feel uneasy, and some people openly and secretly give themselves tips, how do they choose? Do you choose to move on or give up on returning?
Every day I can hear all kinds of different versions of who is who and how to be deceived and what kind of misfortune has been encountered, at that time, I sneered in my heart, who is a fool, who can I blame for being stupid! Now, when I come back to god, I realize that I have been in a relationship with a scumbag for so long, and I have fallen into the trap carefully designed by others...
Just like at the beginning of the film, Queen Eleanor tirelessly tells her daughter Merida the same history over and over again, and she doesn't want to pay attention to it. Over time, this history, this legend, this word-of-mouth example or negative teaching material, gradually became a story. Listening to it will pass, and it will not take this seriously, let alone take it to heart. Suddenly, one day, when I suddenly realized that I was about to become a negative teaching material in the eyes of others, how was I feeling? What kind of action is needed to be taken today?
The Grand Prince, like the heroine Melida, because of his own selfish desires, easily destroys the relationship that is not easy to maintain, ignores his relatives and friends but credulously trusts those capable outsiders, and pushes himself to a road of no return. What to do when you realize you're making a mistake? The prince chose to bury his mistakes, to the end, to destroy them everywhere when the toxic attack was uncomfortable, and to hide at home when he was sober and miss the past.
When I was sad when I was in distress, I thought of going back to the place where I used to be warm. Go home, I want to go home, but where is home? Here, this dilapidated place, once so warm, but because of his selfishness, everything was destroyed. Awakened by nightmares again and again, self-destructively over and over again. When people leave, they think of getting along well, and when their home is destroyed, they think of running the home together. Why do you always listen to anyone's dissuasion beforehand, why do you always wait until you lose it before you regret it.
After all, this is a film and television film, and people cannot be portrayed too evilly. So this scum, ah no, this glamorous stingray left such a profound sentence on the occasion of parting: I want to change my destiny, first examine my heart, and bridge the rift blinded by vanity. When the second sun rises, magic can never be changed.
When you realize that you have made a mistake, you must turn back in time, and once the time limit for correction has passed, it is useless to do any remedial measures.
No man is born wise or learned? It can be improved a lot. When the innocent heroine Merida finds herself deceived and taken advantage of by others and made a big mistake, she has no choice to bury, destroy, and flee... Rather, it is timely to seek a solution. Perhaps, no matter how timely you repent, you can't return to the original appearance, but if you don't correct it, you are likely to leave a lifetime of regrets.
I don't want my future to be manipulated like this, so I have the courage to confront, I don't want my relatives to be hurt, but I have the courage to guard, I don't want my family to become fragmented, so I have the courage to be harmonious. Most importantly, there is always a force behind you that gives you the courage to motivate you to do these things. You want to destroy, the bad guys are helping you; you want to turn back, and your loved ones are supporting you. With support and assistance, there is the courage to continue, and with love there is the courage to make everything better.
In the end, your own problems must be solved by yourself. Blame and explanation can no longer convince everyone, let alone solve the problems faced in the past and the present, so they have to explain through history combined with reality. We are all familiar with the history of the past, but do we know the process of historical evolution? Today we are in the midst of history, and we are all saved before tragedy is caused. Use love and trust to eliminate each other's barriers, and unite as one to make the future better.
At the end of the film, what does the guilty Merida see in the eyes of her mother, who seems to have been unable to return to her original form? Mother and daughter are even hearted, and they are trying to stop the farce of this marriage custom in a way that they approve of, but neither of them is aware of each other's same intentions. When the real danger comes, each of them bravely eliminates the disaster with the love that cares for each other, and at the same time allows each other to grow.
Like other film and television works, there must be a relatively beautiful reunion to make the ending. But in real society, will such a happy ending appear? If Merida realized that she had done something wrong and turned back in time, all she could get was the reproach and insults of relatives and friends, and only the disgust and alienation of the people, and spread her bad deeds everywhere, and she could not be forgiven, what would be the end?
Finally, let's sort it out:
The first time I faced an arranged marriage, I felt that this society was unfair, and I wanted to rise up to fight, but I was defeated and fled.
For the first time, at the fork in the road of life, the ignorant self is tempted or instigated and deceived by those who are adulterous.
The second time I came to the blind date, I used words to temporarily perfunctory, because there was an urgent matter that had to be done at the moment.
The second time I came to the fork in life, I couldn't stand the deception after I had to come back to settle the account, and it was ineffective. Finally embarked on the road to finding the truth.
The third time I came to the marriage party, I woke up and finally solved the trouble by combining the past history.
The third time I came to the fork in life, after knowing the truth, I was determined to make up for the mistakes I had made in the past.
A mistake makes each other see their problems clearly, and makes each other's love more solid and long-lasting.
A mistake made each other hate each other, and from then on they were separated from each other, and they did not interact with each other.
Family harmony can resolve all bad things.
Fate is in your heart, you must have enough courage to see yourself clearly, so that the future becomes better.
