It is obvious that the overt purpose of Brave is to encourage our youth to rebel and reinforce the importance of the feminist movement in achieving its goals.
Finally, after Merida takes responsibility for her action and apologizes, her mother returns to her proper form and everyone is happy, especially Merida because now her mother agrees that she is free to shape her own destiny and does not need to follow old-fashioned protocol. To change her mother’s attitude, she asks a witch for a spell, but the spell turns the Queen into a bear.
She defies her parents by refusing to accept any of the three idiot suitors chosen for her. This is the main plot: Princess Merida, the firstborn daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor, rejects her mother’s attempts to make her a proper lady and queen and spends all of her free time practicing archery. In it, a youthful protagonist princess confronts her mother head on at a time when the men of the world are presented as rowdy drunks and women in full control - all set in a lush, beautiful Scottish-Celtic countryside. Various reviews have applauded this movie for empowering mother-daughter relationships, heralding it as a well-crafted feminist film of near perfection. One cannot help but wonder what an animated cartoon movie is doing on the agenda of the largest religious gathering in Italy attended by adults who want to fortify their faith.Ī premiere showing of Brave at the Rimini Conference It was shown to the audience in multiple languages, then discussed and praised. When I was doing research for my article on the 33rd Annual Rimini Meeting I noted that the entertainment portion of the meeting’s Opening Encounter included a premiere showing of the Disney Pixar animated film Brave.
