    Films that I particularly favor are thrillers. One reason Thrillers become so enjoyable for me, a sense of diversion is created making the viewers more indulge in the movie all the way to the ending. The plots are usually twisted, climatic, suspenseful and intelligence is often use far as the writing perspective to result in an ecliptic viewing of the movie. A really great thriller will usually bring a shock factor by the climax, then the movie will receive a better understanding from the beginning to end. Another genre of films I enjoy are Musicals they are fashionable and express emotions through singing. I am really into lyricism so I enjoy comparing the actual expression of the each character's individual story and the progression…

I admired Alex for her bravery and intelligence which she showed when she was trying to save her mother and the Fairy-Tale World.…

    Within the film, there is a scene that commemorates Rapunzel’s birthday and shows the King and Queen, whom are Rapunzel’s real parents, preparing to celebrate her birthday. Rapunzel’s father is seen crying as they celebrate their daughter’s birthday. In previous Disney movies, the mothers are usually the ones shedding tears and being consoled by their husbands, or by a male. Tangled uses an influential character as the King, to show children that men can have emotions and they are not any less of a man if they do. Another aspect of the movie that shows equality between men and woman is when Mother Gothel stabs Flynn and Rapunzel uses her tear to save Flynn’s life. This shows that men need saving too, and a woman has the ability and power to save the man if need…

In “Aschenputtel,” Cinderella’s mother tells her “Dear child, remain pious and good, and then our dear God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you." Later in the story Cinderella asks her father to bring home the first twig that brushes his hat. When given the twig Cinderella takes it to her mother’s grave and it grows into a magnificent tree. Cinderella then prays under the tree and pigeons and turtledoves bring Cinderella anything she wishes. These birds represent Cinderella’s mother’s spirit watching over her poor daughter.
