Actually, all men in the film are portrayed as simpletons and dimwits.
Another thing I must add is that he is quite dense and savage. The Queen is trying to control her rebellious daughter and force her into Procrustean bed of traditional princess lifestyle scenario.Īnd then we have the father, King Fergus, a big Scottish man, who won a fight against a giant bear to protect his family, losing one of his legs in the battle. The complete opposite of Merida is her mother Elinor, who is very traditional, with good manners and exemplary behaviour. From the very beginning the audience is introduced to the main heroine, who is quite unconventional for that type of character (princess) – she is a very boyish, naughty red-haired tomboy, who enjoys riding horses, stealing food from the kitchen and playing with her bow. This fight is portrayed through very well developed and interesting leading characters – Princess Merida, Queen Elinor (her mother) and King Fergus (her father). Although Merida’s aim is never actually defined with more words than ‘following my own pathway’, the film makes a clear statement about the forever lasting fight between tradition and novelty. It tells the story about young Merida, who doesn’t want to be a princess and follow the tradition by marrying a man and living happily ever after. Pixar animation and Walt Disney studios present another great film for the whole family – ‘Brave’. Cast: Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters.ĭirector: Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman, Steve Purcell (co-director).
