you can't be serious?

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2011)

The movie itself was cute somewhat heartwarming if you follow the main story, but I'm giving it a couple of stars, Why you ask? I just don't think we should be teaching this type of stuff to young children.
This entire movie reeks of sexual subconscious suggestion from start to finish. I sat down to watch this with my bf we were bored we spent the time pointing out the darker undercurrents of the story.
They portray Repunzle as being a highly emotional perky 18 year old lacking in subtlety, but ready to leave her mothers tower to explore the world. She meets a generic badboy named Flynn who takes her from her tower. At first she feels guilty but her new companion assures her that rebellion against your parents at a young age is perfectly normal and that this is a part of growing up.
From there he shows her around as the movie progresses they get to know each other a bit and open up more, she claims her dream is to see the lanterns released each year annually at the palace. She offers to give back his satchel containing a stolen crown she is withholding in exchange for him taking her to see the lanterns. During her adventure her mother finds the satchel and tracks her down. She says she does not want to go home that she's met someone and that he likes her. But her mother calls her naive and says he only wants the crown; then as I quote the scene of the song mother knows best from the movie itself "Oh, I see how it is Rapunzel knows best Rapunzel's so mature now Such a clever grown up miss, Rapunzel knows best Fine if you so sure now Go ahead and give him this! This is why he's here Don't let him decived you Give it to him and watch you'll see Trust me my dear That's how far he'd leave you, I won't say "I told you" so,....." The crown itself is very obviously a representation of the girls virginity.
During the film they meet up with Flynn's horse Maximums who represents the male ego or anatomy. Maximums was originally mad at Flynn she tells him not to cause any trouble with him, that its her birthday and he is taking her to see the lanterns. But after her "Big day", they can "chase each other all they want". I am assuming this deals with issues of him "playing with himself" and so forth. He revels to her that his real name is Eugene and says that out of everyone she would be the "First" to like his real name.
Now comes the Disney duet aka the sex scene. During mandy moore's song entitled now that I see you. While in a boat at the time of the lanterns being let into the sky the couple sits and she tells him that she has been waiting 18 years for this moment and that she is terrified it won't be everything she hoped. He assures her it will, but when her dream dies she can find a new dream. Then she scoots in eagerly telling him she is giving him the crown, and that she's sorry she didn't before but she was just scared.
They both take a lantern and allow it to float upwards as they circle each other intertwining as the couple continues to sing. The song itself has both the male and female perspectives of sex. They claim they everything has changed now that they "see each other in a new light" the female part of it talks about how blind and sheltered she's been as if she's falling in love. The male part claims he has spent all those years chasing down a "daydream" not paying attention to what was really there. Then after the song loverboy Flynn stats acting funny and runs off he sells her off to some men and leaves. At that point her mother returns to say I told you so.
Pretty much after that it sums it up to a happy ending (like always), although the big question at the end of the movie was weather or not they got married and the prince says "after years and years of asking and asking and asking I finally said yes."
Well I still liked the movie it was cute but the subconscious is a powerful tool it used to help people cope and make changes to how they function. I don't believe it should be used like this and for children of such a young age group it can have effects that impede growth. Despite the fact that this movie is rated pg I don't think anyone under 14 should watch it.
