"I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam."
I had quite the intense therapy session yesterday, and I couldn't sleep well last night. After lunch I decided I'd had enough of dark thoughts, and went to the cinema to watch Maleficent. I really loved it. The first part was cute, the second part was funny, and the third part I thought was brilliant. A couple of lines were a bit corny, but the story was intriguing and the plot twists were awesome.
I couldn't quite believe a friend of mine when a couple of days ago she told me I'd walk out of the cinema shipping Maleficent/Aurora, but oh god, she was right! I saw some reviews focusing on the mother/daughter thing, but I didn't get no maternal vibes there, no sir. Not to mention that the tagline of the movie should be "Ladies! Men are shitty assholes, become a lesbian and be happy forever after!"
I also had this very strong feeling towards the end, that if I had seen this movie as a kid, I would have been very attracted to both Maleficent and Diaval, while now that I'm an adult I mostly had eyes only for Maleficent. Ms Jolie was really magnificent. And I really liked the message of the movie, and how all the kids in the room kept applauding everything Maleficent did, and loudly cheering for her during the final battle. It was really cute. ^^
On a different note, Wikipedia informs me Philip is 24, but he looked 15 to me. O_O And is there a reason why they changed the names of the Three Good Fairies? It was very distracting.
