Rapunzel, Rapunzel! Let down your hair!











This post will be my review on the movie, Rapunzel - A Tangled Tale.
Pardon me if it's boring and actually, I don't find writing interesting too!
Well, this is all for the sake of improving my language through blogging though.
As many of you know, Rapunzel is a well-known fairytale that many of us has came across this story when we were young despite the fact that there were many different versions.
One common thing for sure that any version shares will be that Rapunzel has a beautiful and long hair which stretches through below her feet and beyond.
That's like of course?!
The movie, Rapunzel - A Tangled Tale, did not differ much from the original version in terms of its synopsis and names of characters although there were still some variations here and there.
It's an animated-comedy movie which is able to capture the heart of audience of all ages!
The whole movie was generally sweet, romantic and comical.
For me, I think it was really creative to present the storylines of some parts through singing and graceful dancing which I really adore!
I must say that Rapunzel's melodious voice which is actually the voice of Mandy Moore, is so ethereal and euphonious!
It has sort of touches my heart and inspires me greatly.
Pascal, a chameleon, Rapunzel's loyal companion in the movie, though this character does not exist in the original version, I thought it does contributes much to the humor!
I don't really know if Pascal is a 'he' or 'she' so I think I will just stick to an 'it' throughout the post.
Pascal is really very adorable and to add on, such an endearing character!
I don't mind having it as a pet despite the fact that it is a chameleon.
Pascal is the funniest when it is "bickering" with Flynn (His real name in the show is actually Eugene) or under some unavoidable circumstances that it had to camouflage!
Flynn Rider, Eugene actually, is not a prince though like what it is in the original version,
He is actually very kind in nature although he was a thief initially.
I think he is very mirthful, risible and humourous(or humorous - both usage is right and depends on the country)!
I would be so glad if he was my friend!
Maximus, the horse, is another ludicrous person(Opps! I meant animal)!
Actually, he holds resemblance to humans with regards to his facial expressions and his actions towards Flynn, especially since you always find them bickering and poking secretly at each other which is so hilarious!
If only I have this horse as my companion...!
Rapunzel,the protagonist of this movie, of course, has the most impact on us.
I suppose everyone loves her and her long, silky(probably?) hair!
However, I wonder how she is able to not get tired of combing her hair everyday, whether rain or shine!(I know it's just an animation but it's still a wonderment to me!)
When my hair gets long, though I'm the only one who feel that it is long, I will get super irritated and sometimes, I will just chop it off myself so I kind of admire Rapunzel for her perseverance and attitude towards handling her hair!
I sympathise her initially since she was not able to know who is her biological mother and reunite with her.
Imagine that you're unknowingly living with an evil woman who she claims that she is your dearest mother but is actually making use of you for benefits!
I don't have much thoughts of Rapunzel but generally, I still love her character!
I abhor and loathe Gothel to the core!
She disgusts me!
To add on, I think her aged look comparing to her so-called young look does not differ much!
Summing up, I don't like her, especially her character!
The only imperfection in the show to me is that actually I'm fine with Eugene snipping off Rapunzel's hair but, why is it so short?!
Overall, it was really a good show full of melodious singings and the fairytale's storyline was really brought out well!
I will give a rating of 4.5 out of 5! (:
