“And
before the sun sets on her 16th birthday she shall prick her finger
on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die,” Maleficent cursed upon Aurora. I
chose to pick the story to be told in Aurora’s perspective because she didn’t
have much of a voice in the movie. Aurora was basically punished for something
that her father King Stephan had did to Maleficent. In the movie Maleficent
fell in love with King Stephan, and he cut off her wings in order to become the
king. Him cutting off her wings caused Maleficent to seek out for revenge and
curse his daughter Aurora. Even though Aurora is basically the main focus in
the movie, who she was never really gotten addressed. She was basically
characterized as a pawn between Maleficent and King Stephan. I believe that
I
believe that the story should be told in Aurora’s perspective because she is
the key stone of the story, and the story from her perspective was never told.
Although Aurora was cursed with dying at the age of 16 she was also gifted with
beauty, and song. In the movie she is
basically the damsel in distressed, and is in between something she knows
nothing about. While she was sent away in the enchanted forest she grew up
loving Maleficent, and looking up to her as a mother figure. If the story were
to be told in Aurora’s perspective a lot of things would be added to the story.
First
I think that her questioning where her parents were would be added considering
they were never in her life, and she only met her dad when she was 16. The
second thing that would be added would be how she felt when she met her dad for
the first time, and him immediately locking her away. The third thing that
would be added would be why she choose to help Maleficent get her wings back
even though she cursed her instead of siding with her father. The fourth thing
I think would be added would be how she felt about Prince Phillip because when
he kissed her the curse didn’t break, so did she really love him? All those
things were never addressed in the movie, and forever is a mystery.
If the story was told in her perspective a lot of things
would be lost as well. The entire story behind why Maleficent cursing her would
be lost, what made King Stefan cut off her wings, Maleficent ending up loving
Aurora and wanting to take back the curse.
Another thing that would be lost would be Aurora being naive to the
curse and who Maleficent was to her. Last but not least, Maleficent and
Aurora’s journeys together bringing them[AM1]
closer would be lost. If Aurora would be the one to tell the story I believe
her role in the story would be more well-rounded.
I believe the story
should be told in Aurora’s perspective because she plays a big part in the
story, and if it wasn’t for her there wouldn’t even be a story. If Aurora were
to tell the story from her point of view I believe there would be more emotions
added into the story. How Aurora truly felt was never told in the story, we as
a viewer had to analyze her feelings based on her actions in the movie
Throughout
the movie Aurora never really had a voice until towards the end of the movie
when she choose to side with Maleficent against her father. She plays a big
role in the entire movie, and I believe her voice should be heard.
