Like any respectable modern day Princess (even though I consider myself much too proactive to be a proper princess), I blame Disney for my supposedly unrealistic expectations about love. Of course I believe my expectations to be perfectly fair: I'm not saying I will sleep for 100 years and only bother to get up when Prince Charming appears. Nor am I saying that I'll sit at home scrubbing the floor till my Fairy Godmother produces me a Ferrari+handsome driver to go to Posh London Club and meet Bankerofmydreams, only to forget my Prada shoe and have him search for me all over the Kingdom. But honestly, why should I not meet Aladdin who will show me the world on his private jet? I entirely fail to see what is unrealistic about that. What is most interesting is my recent discovery that Disney stories aren't all about proactive men fighting dragons and wicked witches to reach their beloved woman and declare their undying love. There are also a few clueless guys, who can't get their act together and need the help of a crab and seagull.. I wonder why this most important lesson escaped me at the time when my expectations were being shaped!
I blame also all fairy tails . I am dreaming about my lawerofmydream... but he is not in in "my view" noW. Probably he used to be a big fan of hiding and seek :)
ReplyDeleteThat's because all of the D movies are made by men; like most movie productions are still made. We are still living in a largely men dominated world.And we only have ourselves to blame for it. Oh oh, I turned the blame game around.
ReplyDeleteanyways, the Mermaid movie reminded me of how much I used to love that little stupid flick. aaaaah. Why am I not a mermaid?
