A complete rewrite of the Sleeping Beauty Story. The date rape (including a roofie) by King Stephan of Maleficent is disturbing as is the mutilation of her body. Prince Charming is marginalized as an ineffectual little twit (boys must have cooties). Crow (Diavel) is continually degraded by having to change into different animals at the whim of Maleficent. Even love’s true kiss comes from a surprising source. O how our society has changed.
You will be disappointed if you remember the truly evil fairy from the 1958 movie. This Maleficent is just a misunderstood softie. Angelina Jolie is very good as Maleficent. I love her lips. Elle Fanning is adorable as Aurora. The sets are beautiful and the actors are all good. The story is entertaining. You will be glad that you went to see this.
But why do they hate boys? Or is this the only way girls can feel empowered?
