Going To The Movies: Maleficent
A new take on a classic story. Shining light to the villain instead of the hero. Retelling a hundred years old tale. Questioning black-and-white mindset and allowing characters to re-invent themselves. What is more to want from a fairytale?!
Angelina Jolie is beyond gorgeous as Maleficent, the strongest of the fairies. She brings so many different shades to the classical villain and looks out-of-this-world while doing it. On the other hand Elle Faning seems a little bland and maybe even slightly stupid, but who wouldn't if they were to stay right next to Angelina?!
It's very hard to tell anything about the movie without giving away too much. Be prepared to question your ideas for good and bad, right and wrong. Be ready to question how much one person can love and hate something/someone in the same time. Nothing is what it seems, nothing is simple. everything has more than one meaning, plenty of layers.
Evil has never been so good. Nor has looked so good...
Grade: 9/10 (for a fairytale)
You can't get lost if you don't know where you're going...
