Brave

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2012)

I always get excited when there is a new Pixar movie coming out, but I must say that differently from other -great- movies "Brave" got out of my head super quickly. Yes, visually it is a hot movie, and there is that lord of the rings feeling, with all that talk about old races and old legends. The protagonist, Merida, is a lovely and smart red-hair girl who instantly makes you fall in love, and the introduction of the story is just like wow. The thing is: I did not enjoy the story at all; I expected more than a mother-daughter relationship movie, which is something that we have seen before. It sounds cliché in a way. I think "Wall-E", "The Incredibles", and "Up" are still #1s. Yet, "Brave" is a seriously touching movie, and I think you (parents and kids) can learn a lot from it. Besides, there is the short movie "La Luna", which is simply beautiful, a true work of art.
