Hey there. Sorry the blogging has been spotty recently, all these vacations are kicking my ass. Anyway I'll leave you with some Disney love again tonight. Just my observations of two movies in Disney that I saw in the Mickey's Philarmagic.
The first movie was The Little Mermaid. These observations are basically just the idea that these movies very much apply to life today. Ariel sees something she wants more than anything in this world, a life on land, and she makes a deal to get it. It just goes back to the idea of wanting what we can't have and having to make sacrifices to get there.
Isn't that always the way it is? We see something we want and we say we're willing to do anything to have it. We're willing to make a deal with the devil to get there. The thing about wanting something that bad is the sacrifices that have to be made. Something with that magnitude of importance is going to require a serious amount of sacrifice in most cases. Most people aren't willing to make those sacrifices. I like to think that I am, but who knows what lengths I would go to for what I want most? I'm not even sure. I think I'd do most anything for it though.
The second movie observation I made was in Aladdin. It isn't so much an observation as it is a recognition that Aladdin is a great plot. I love how the poor "street rat" kid goes in and wins over a princess. He wants to show her a whole new world. Isn't that what every guy wants? To be that Arabian prince on a flying carpet taking a girl's breath away? (okay maybe that's just mine) Anyway I think it's a great plot and a great story. Disney did it right there. It speaks of change. Of the good guy finishing first. Of love being enough. Of being the change somebody wants and needs.
It's tough to find a movie I like more than that at this moment. I like how Aladdin worked his magic....
It's just a damn shame I don't have a genie to help me out, God knows I could use it.
