Tangled

The cute animation brings back the story of Rapunzel in the children’s movie Tangled. It’s witty dialogue and charming characters pull the viewer in from the first second. The animation is also well done in a way that looks real without being creepy. Rapunzel, an 18 year-old, is wishing to see the floating lanterns for her birthday, yet as circumstances unravel and the story moves on, she is left to her own devises with a thief, Flynn Rider. They travel their way to the king and queen’s castle in order to see the floating lanterns that are released into the air every year on her birthday. The lighting plays a key role in the movie because of the way it reflects how Rapunzel is feeling. For example when she was contemplating to continue on her quest to the castle or stay at home like she was supposed to, she is faced with a hard decision. In the scenes where she’s arguing it will only be good for her, the tone is free and the lighting is bright and lighthearted. The scenes where Rapunzel is trying to talk her way out of going to the castle, the dialogue is sad and depressing along with the lighting. The viewers cheer on Rapunzel even when she is facing hard choices and even bigger threats. She stays true to herself and even finds true love. As the movie progresses you fall for the charismatic characters of Maximus, the palace horse, Flynn, the thief, and even Pascal, the chameleon. The movie is a great one for a rainy day with younger siblings or even if you’re older. Tangled is a classic that will forever be in our hearts.

Misery

The lost illusion of life and the repeated misery brings us full circle when it comes to mistakes. They say you're human, it's in our make up to loose a few round, the only problem? What if you keep making the wrong choices? What if nothing ever works out and you're still lost in the dark? Can anyone really know how you're feeling? Can anyone really understand? Walking through the dark without a light, leaves you where? Leaves you gone? Leaves you lost? There's so much you want to tell the world, so much you want to yell and scream, but what if no one's listening? Then where does that leave you? It leaves you broken with no one to pick up you back up. You're stuck in such misery, you cannot even find your way out. You can't tell the people you want the truth, because it only makes everything worse. Worse off then the mistake? The misery? The sense of hopelessness? And yet, you still cannot find a way out. You crawl and you climb, but are you really free? You don't want them to win, but haven't they already? Haven't they already torn you to pieces? Haven't they already shoved you into the deepest, darkest corner they could find? Haven't they already destroyed everything you are? How do you come back from that? Where does that leave you? Full Circle.
