*FUN FACT*: Jolie's little daughter was chosen to play the young Aurora because she was the only girl Maleficent didn't scare her since she knew she was her mother.
@@Leo18rodz yes it was. She started off the spell by saying that she would have beauty forever and everyone would fall in love with her. Go watch it over. She finished by saying that she would go into a coma by pricking her finger. Maybe not tell other's what's right when you yourself don't know.
Here's the thing that I actually appreciated with this Sleeping Beauty remake: It was an actual remake. They changed things and went with a different storyline. Like…brought new stuff to the table, not just remade the scenes.
@@christophercampa6777 …exactly. The people were innovative and told the story from the opposite side instead of Aurora's. Even though she's the narrator. Lol
yeah that's what i think they are doing with cruella too! there's gonna be a second movie so it's very likely going to be a retelling of 101d since motivations and characters in the cruella movie don't really match the original 101d.
To be fair, that was a change Disney made for Sleeping Beauty. Every version I've seen of the original fairytale involves Sleeping Beauty living with her parents. Some versions involve the whole castle/whole kingdom falling asleep along side her, while others involve her grieving parents sealing away her tower/castle. ... And one version also involves infidelity, rape, and attempted cannibalism.
@ANNABELL CANNON Thankful that it led to her waking up anyway. In that version, one of her twins sucked the splinter out of her finger and that's what broke the curse (nothing about true love in that one).
@@hanaomer4419 yes but the that's why the third fairy did not do anything which is annoying a bit, that part of it was that fairie's doing in the original which makes sense because they are the actual ones who find a way to lift the curse.
@@hanaomer4419 true loves kiss part. It is supposed to be added by the third fairy since Mal interrupts the fairies after the second one. So after Mal curses Aurora and leaves, the third fairy adds the "the curse can be broken by a true loves kiss" part, but since they gave that to Mal, the third fairy does not grant anything to Aurora in this film.
I feel like no one talks about how the colour of her magic changes over time. Like when she’s young is yellow then when Stefan betrays her its green and when she starts to love aurora it goes back to yellow.
I think it depends on what she uses her magic for. Because halfway through the movie she uses it to heal a tree, and then it's yellow, but a bit after that when she is toying with the soldiers it's green again.
I just realized, when Maleficent was casting the curse, she said that Aurora would be "loved by all". Which would include MALEFICENT. So that probably means her own curse backfired on her and made her the key to breaking the spell.
A nice parallel I never noticed until now: when Maleficent meets Diaval, she saves him from a farmer's net. When she turns him into a dragon, he returns the favor and frees her from the king's net.
I read a comment saying that scene represented women being drugged and assaulted/taken advantage of in their sleep (I'm not sure if it's true but they said that Angelina talked about it in a behind the scene video or something)
Maleficent said in the curse "beloved by all who meet her" she never excluded herself from that, that's why she ended up loving aurora more than anyone cause she's also the one that spent the most time with her so she was destined to love her the most
(This has more to do with the second movie than the first) I feel like maleficent also comes to see herself in Aurora. She wants to hate her because she's a human but more importantly the daughter of someone who hurt her deeply, but they're pretty similar. She watches Aurora enjoy the outdoors and interact with animals, which is all thing maleficent used to do, and later she watches her grow up and fall in love similar to her. I think she grows to want a better future for Aurora in the end
I loved the movie when at the end they interpreted true love kiss not as a cliché which is a result of superficial “love” between two strangers but a motherly love which was built up through the movie
To be honest though, name a type of love that is truer than that of a parent’s love for their child. Go on, I’ll wait. Answer, nada. The love a parent has for their child is what the Greeks would call Agape, which means unconditional love, AKA the strongest form of love there is. I remember watching this movie when it came out with my mom, and we both cried because of how beautiful that scene was.
Fun fact: The little girl that played as Child Aurora was Angelina Jolie’s 5-year-old daughter Vivienne, because she was the only little girl who wasn’t frightened by Angelina Jolie in her Maleficent costume.
That's like one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic, thing I could remember from the film. The way she said that added a depth to her character and flashbacks the viewer to the time she was betrayed
Honestly, this might be Angelina Jolie’s best movie. I watched the original right before this one and it’s really impressive how well she portrays the character. If you shut your eyes and just listen to her dialogue, you can’t tell if your listening to the original from the 50’s
The fact that the cutting of her wings (while having been drugged by someone she trusted) was a confirmed representation of women being drugged and waking up to find they've been r*ped, and honestly...having been in that moment myself, Angelina Jolie's acting was impeccable. This was, and still is, the best adaptation of that moment for me without it being explicitly about r*pe. That part hits my heart every time.
@@kateelario6235anyone can be raped regardless of gender, but this specific representation is talking about women being deceived and taken advantage of by men.
Maleficent spell on Aurora was her downfall, she literally said in the curse, Everyone who meets you will love you. Maleficent met her and basically watched her grow up and now loves her like her own.
Maleficent was so specific of the how and when of the spell but literally couldn’t add the word, “except me” in the spell LOL (but again then not adding that showed that true love is more than a romantic relationship, just like Frozen’s sisterly bond 😭)
Angelina said the specific scene where Maleficent's wings are taken is a metaphor of sexual assault, being drugged and having something taken in ur sleep. Sleeping beauty the original versions the darker side was about assault as well and Maleficent is about recovery, taking her power back, reclaiming the story and it was important to tell❣
@@ayaashraf-wr8ki It's really dark. That assault OP talked about is because sleeping beauty doesn't get woken up after the kiss, or anything that follows that the King does to her.
AγA AγA A king decides to rape and impregnate a sleeping princess. King leaves not knowing she is preggers. She gives birth to a boy and a girl while she is still asleep. 2 fairies arrive to take care of the babies. She wakes up when the fairies are trying to get the babies to breastfeed on the sleeping girl and one of the babies sucks so much that a flax splinter comes out and she wakes up. She picks up the babies and continues breastfeeding. Then the king returns and he and the baby mama fall in love and she becomes his mistress. The end.
I thinks she couldn't grow wings back because after that she couldn't emotionally grow. In the end when her arc is done she gets them back because she mentally healed.
This is definitely the symbolism behind her not being able to get her wings back. If she had showed up to the Christening whole, like she used to be, it would be denying him the knowledge that he hurt her. Stephan would be able to say "Well I took her wings for the crown, but look! She got them back. I didn't do anything wrong, nothing changed, I was justified to do what I did." I think part of the thought process on this was her wanting to tell Stephan, "Look what you've done, you did this to yourself. You hurt me, you took a part of me, you violated me, and now I will do the same to you." But because she wants to remind him of the harm he caused her and to truly get revenge, she's also not able to truly let this go, to heal from it.
Well, no. They're wings. Do any of us grow back limbs? No. Some things the bidy can't do. Magically making wings is just short of creating animate creatures with a whole body and see can't do that level of complexity
Fun fact: The scene when Maleficent wakes up after her wings are cut off , her reaction is meant to imitate how women feel after being drugged and assaulted and waking up and knowing what’s happened. Angelina Jolie did an interview I think where she explained the scene and why it was shot this way. Edit: I get it guys, it’s not actually a ‘fun fact’ I’m not trying to say sexual assault is cool or anything just..that’s what I say before saying random facts I know
College Struggles ohhhhhhhh. That makes so much sense. That scene is super emotional. I know she’s a great actress, but man. Gotta give her props for that amazing scene
@@aintgonnaletuknow5758 in the movie she is ofcourse because yeah her wings are cut off and we don't know any different but it was just the meaning of that he took advantage of her when she was asleep actually drugged by that little bottle that layed on the grass. And when you are sexually harassed you also don't want it ofcourse and are taking advantage of so that was just a little extra something
I liked how Stephen gave Maleficent the "gift" of what he said was"true love's kiss" and Maleficent was so bitter about his betrayal she made that the key to ending the curse.
yes since stefans give of the true love kiss never was a true loves kiss to her so she probbaly did not believe in like "true love" so she used it as the key to ending the curse, as she believed there is no way it can be ended.
When you are angry and curse someone-you don't give a fuck about the logic. That is why there is so much violence in the real world. So it makes sense that she didn't think about how it will affect her. Just wanted to harm a bastard.
Fun fact: when they were filming the scene where Maleficent picks up Aurora as a child, they had to use Angelina Jolie’s daughter because all of the other children that age were terrified of her in the costume. Angelina’s daughter was able to see that it was her mom though which is why she wasn’t scared.
I think I’m just stupid but I just realized that Mal made the curse for Aurora’s 16th birthday which can only be lifted by true love’s kiss to mock Stefan because he gave her false true love’s kiss on her 16th birthday 🤯
Dylan: No bodies on the battlefield?! Disney: Of course not. This is a Family film. Disney 5 minutes later: Woman gets roofied by her ex and he mutilates her body for personal profit.
This man's undying love for Flynn Rider is to live for haha here goes some underrated movies with pretty good characters: -Sinbad the legend of the seven seas (2003) -Shakespeare in love (1998) -Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Are we just going to ignore the fact that Dylan guessed the plot of the second movie PERFECTLY!? like, down to the details of marriage and war, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUUUUUU-
The toddler was Angelina Jolie's daughter. They needed a child that wouldn't be afraid of her in that headdress, so that's why they casted Angelina Jolie's daughter for that part.
Enchanted is an amazing movie and super original. Though for live action movies Cinderella has to be my favorite. It's the only one where I actually prefer it any day over the original
Umnia for real I used to tell people that tangled was underrated and then I saw his tangled video. And this is one of my favorite movies and now I’m like this guy knows his stuff. Lol
The reason why Stefan sent Arouca away as well as burning all of the spinning wheels was because that he felt that Maleficent would come after the kid but in actuality, Maleficent ended up raising his kid to be kind and everything Stefan was not since he wasn’t there to teach her that Maleficent was evil.
Just 30 minutes ago or something I remembered Dylan would upload today but then I thought “Wait he’s actually doing Movie Commentary Monday on Monday’s now, gonna gave to wait another day :/“. But I’m glad this is here, as it should.
I never noticed this before but the reason that Phillip and Aurora had such an instant connection and the reason Maleficent loved her was because at birth she was given the gift of being loved by all who met her
The rape symbolism behind maleficent losing her wings hit me like a ton of bricks the first time I saw this movie. The pain she feels when she wakes up…. It made me tremble.
"Why Don't More People LOVE This Movie??" RIGHT? i always felt i was the only person in the world who liked this movie. what's more, among the live action disney movies, i think this is the best one
@@diamondbaker1419 i didnt watch that one! gotta say i dont LOVE it, í dont think its one of the best movies i've ever seen, not even close. just saying that among the disney live actions based on classic that i've seen, this one is very very good in comparison imo
Everyone I knew loved this movie too! In fact, the reason why I watched this movie originally was because of so many people raving about it. I’m so glad Dylan enjoyed it too 😊
2 of The kids that played the young Aurora are Angelina's actual children Thank you for the top comment I'm gonna take this opportunity to say wouldn't it be nice if Dylan did a collab with trin.
Something I love: Maleficent took care of Aurora in the beginning not because she wanted her to live but because she wanted her curse to be the only thing that killed Aurora. Petty to the max.
22:33 "I wanna do more than kiss her" Well, funnily enough there's a version of this fairy tale from 1600 where the sleeping beauty gets pricked by a thorn and she falls asleep, and the entire kingdom with her, after a fairy casts a spell on everybody, and makes a forest grow around the castle. Many years later a king, who was hunting in the vicinity, finds the castle and the sleeping beauty (still "dead", or asleep whatever) rapes her and leaves. Nine months later she gives birth to twins, and when reaching for her breast for feeding themselves, one of them sucks her finger, pulls the thorn out and she finally wakes up. The story ends with sleeping beauty raising her children all by herself. You're welcome.
There was a continuation of that I think. Apparently the king went back and happily agreed to take care of the children and the mother, thing is he's married to another woman. The Queen was obviously outraged, so she decides to kill the twins and make the king drink their blood and eat their meat. Pretty sure it continues but I can't remember the rest of it
people are FINALLY acknowledging Maleficent, to me it always felt underrated compared to the other disney films edit: 2:17 i'm surprised dylan didn't realise that the fairy is umbridge from harry potter
i just thought of this but like the wing cutting off scene kind of made me feel like it was a metaphor for like sexual assault? like he gets her to trust him and then drugs her and takes away a part of her she probably will never get back
I compared it to literal mutilation like breast mutilation or sth like that that really messes victims up bc they are literally losing defining parts of themselves or just parts and period, but yeah
"she's pretty evil. i understand that he cut your wings, but DAMN. you straight up cursed a child, and reveled in the misery of everybody." my thought: *hell hath no fury like a woman scorned*
12:00 She's not evil. Not only Stefan took her wings, but betrayed her. She loved him and trust him. When she founded out that he has a daughter she was still in love with him. That child meant to her that he betrayed her even more because, after all he was with another woman. That hurts.
Sorry bro but she's pretty evil lol even if it hurts it doesn't justify all the hurt _she_ caused to blameless people. Cursing a newborn for the sins of her father? Yikes. She's cool af being evil at least.
Had her revenge been directed at Stefan, sure. But she IS evil because she chose to hurt not him directly but an innocent child. Using an innocent, particularly a child, as a pawn for your revenge with no thought of the effect on the innocent is evil.
is no one's gonna talk about those 3 fairy being a betrayer of their kingdom? I mean human try to destroy their home multiple times yet they bless that princess
@Scarlett Christianson Maleficent was one them, the man who stole her wings is king and they think now is the time to bridge peace. I don’t know it seems like no one in the first cared about what happened to her.
@@Wennymoon But also there's none of this “kingdom of fairies” crap, so there isn't any conflict established between humans and magic creatures. It's just Maleficent, her guards and crow X the three fairies and humans.
14:59 just realized the reason maleficent liked her was because she gave her the gift of being loved by everyone she comes across and didn't say "not me" 🤦♂️
Mik Kat wow i had never thought of that! - but then shouldn’t the kiss of the prince have worked since everyone she comes across would love her? or i guess it makes sense because she didn’t love him back.
Dylan's reaction to the scene where she gets her wings cut off is why i love and support this channel. I just watched billybinges' video on this movie yesterday and was seriously disturbed and honestly hurt by the way he laughed at her and cheered stefan on. Anyways just came back to this video to say this is why i love Dylan
Eh, I was annoyed that maleficent wasn't a dragon and that Stephan was boring and stupid. I wish she hadn't been maleficent. I wish it had just been called sleeping beauty and she was a different character filling the evil fairy roll.
He probably realizes we all love Disney movies so much and he’s getting more views? Or he’s just genuinely enjoying Disney because they’re movies are mostly very good lol
Yeah I'm so worried the second Maleficent is gonna tarnish this one cos it was great!! One of the only good live action remakes in my opinion because it actually adds something to the original story.
“Yeah, you’re married to Brad Pitt.” Me: “Dylan, Queen Angelina is no longer married to Brad Pitt. They’ve been divorced for 3 years now, thank you very much.”
Seeing Maleficent honestly gave me SO much hope for future remakes. I wanted so badly to see Disney go the route of putting some new spin on their stories, and I was sorely disappointed to learn that this wouldn’t be the case. Also: Jolie was perfect 👌🏻 casting imo
Instead of re doing the original tales the should have done the films from the villains perspective. I would have LOVED to see what happened to Scar before Simba was born.
Also, it adds to the fact that in this world, unlike many, MANY fantasy worlds, magic has strict rules, there are boundaries and there's nothing the characters can do about them. I really like that. It's exactly like when she couldn't break her own curse.
Why doesn’t anybody make the connection that when Stefan was dangling from the iron attach ring to her foot it was to remind them of when they were kids and she flew with him holding onto her foot
14:48 Fun fact: the child in this scene is actually Angelina's REAL daughter. All the toddlers they tried to use in this scene would cry because they were afraid of the horns/outfit. Except for Angelina's own daughter, because she recognized her mom and wasn't afraid 🤣
TW: I really enjoy this movie because of its symbolism. Maleficent getting her wings stolen is a metaphor for her being raped, she hides away and hates the world. She forgets how to love and curses anything that has to do with her offender, she slowly learns how to love again through aurora and forgive him which is the acceptance. She brings down her thorn wall symbolizing her learning to love and opening up again
A movie star said it's a rape metaphor to get publicity for the movie, but that doesn't make it a good metaphor as she gets her wings back, but rape victims cannot be unraped and virgins don't get their virginity back. She only cursed an innocent baby, but leaves her ex-boyfriend all his power, wealth and kingly title (the reasons he betrayed her) for 16years to enjoy. She waited over 15years before even trying once to remove the curse, so she obviously didn't care for baby/toddler/pre-teen Aurora at all. If she had forgiven Stefan then she would have used her magic (telekinesis, etc) or wings to save the life of Aurora's father for Aurora. Even at the end she cared more about her revenge than forgiveness or what Aurora may want.
@@PyroDrew i think the reason she didnt toutch any of his wealth and power is cause she wanted him to slowly be driven mad with fear of what she could do and the inevitability of her curse. It was a very drawn out revenge plan for the sake of causing Stefan as much pain as possible i believe.
@@DecemberDaydreams Maybe, but her curse has a paradox problem to it too. If Stefan was suffering from the curse because he truly loved his daughter (which would explain a lot of his scenes in the movie) then that means he could also break the curse by kissing Aurora, but if he didn't truly love his daughter then the curse didn't really make him suffer that much. We can't say cursing his daughter hurt his pride because he gave up his pride before the curse when he begged Maleficent on his knees in front of everyone for mercy for his daughter. Apparently, Maleficent also got extremely lucky that Aurora's birth mother didn't truly love Aurora either. Maybe Stefan was driven mad out of fear of her, but that makes him look real stupid as a villain because he knew her and yet still knowingly put himself in that position. He knew she was not a weak nobody. Super human strength, rapid healing, vast powers, supernatural friends, and she's the leader of a huge undefeated army while the human army lost horribly. He had no reason to believe she and her legions of armies couldn't destroy the entire human kingdom. Seeing the villain be such an underdog was odd. It was like watching the TH-cam video of Bambi vs. Godzilla. Stefan won't win any evil mastermind awards.
I questioned that the first time I watched as well, but fae creatures usually aren't just good. They're more of a chaotic neutral, so maybe in some weird way, it makes sense
I always thought Disney got the name from Maleficium- the Latin word for an act of witchcraft. (if you've ever studied the dreadful witch trials, you'll know)
Fun fact: young Aurora is Angelina's daughter. The kids were so terrified by her in costume that they cried. Only her daughter didn't cry so she got the role
The scene where she wakes up realising her wings have been cut off will always break me. The emotion cuts so deep, I can't help but cry, imagining if someone I trusted and loved did something so unthinkable like that.
Angie (maleficent’s actor) said in an interview that the scene is supposed to represent waking up after being drugged and assaulted by someone you trust
That's so heartwarming. I thought the kid they used was adorable but I didn't know that it was her own daughter, now I have even more love for that scene.
So sad that they didn't take that plot twist. They could have had n even better ending if that's what got the crow and Maleficent to leave is when they find out Aurora is just as shallow like her human family.
I did too, but then I thought it would be kind of weird for it to be him because Aurora was closer to Maleficent and if it was in a love love kind of why it would also be weird considering he also raised her.
The fact Dylan knew right away the kid was gonna be a villain because he didn't have a classically handsome face (nice way to say ugly) lmfaaao
he is what we call a professional movie watcher

@@jovitabhengra DUDE THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE VIBE I GOT FROM THIS SCENE AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THAT. It's definitely an excellent metaphor!
Its also a rape allegory too so there's that as well.
@@jovitabhengra I mean wasn't the original Grim Brothers sleeping beauty tale one with rape in it?
Maleficent spell on Aurora was her downfall, she literally said in the curse, Everyone who meets you will love you. Maleficent met her and basically watched her grow up and now loves her like her own.
😃😃 wowww.....that's some smart thinking
Acually she was just repeating the gifts the other fairies gave her.
Maleficent was so specific of the how and when of the spell but literally couldn’t add the word, “except me” in the spell LOL (but again then not adding that showed that true love is more than a romantic relationship, just like Frozen’s sisterly bond 😭)
@@nez01 yes
The irony
Angelina said the specific scene where Maleficent's wings are taken is a metaphor of sexual assault, being drugged and having something taken in ur sleep.
Sleeping beauty the original versions the darker side was about assault as well and Maleficent is about recovery, taking her power back, reclaiming the story and it was important to tell❣
Wow, that's powerful
Ouh this makes me want to read the original story
@@ayaashraf-wr8ki It's really dark. That assault OP talked about is because sleeping beauty doesn't get woken up after the kiss, or anything that follows that the King does to her.
AγA AγA A king decides to rape and impregnate a sleeping princess. King leaves not knowing she is preggers. She gives birth to a boy and a girl while she is still asleep. 2 fairies arrive to take care of the babies. She wakes up when the fairies are trying to get the babies to breastfeed on the sleeping girl and one of the babies sucks so much that a flax splinter comes out and she wakes up. She picks up the babies and continues breastfeeding. Then the king returns and he and the baby mama fall in love and she becomes his mistress. The end.
Okay what the fuck this was not what expected when you said "dark", but I'm still intrigued.
I thinks she couldn't grow wings back because after that she couldn't emotionally grow. In the end when her arc is done she gets them back because she mentally healed.
I think it's because she can't cast magic on herself
This is definitely the symbolism behind her not being able to get her wings back. If she had showed up to the Christening whole, like she used to be, it would be denying him the knowledge that he hurt her. Stephan would be able to say "Well I took her wings for the crown, but look! She got them back. I didn't do anything wrong, nothing changed, I was justified to do what I did." I think part of the thought process on this was her wanting to tell Stephan, "Look what you've done, you did this to yourself. You hurt me, you took a part of me, you violated me, and now I will do the same to you." But because she wants to remind him of the harm he caused her and to truly get revenge, she's also not able to truly let this go, to heal from it.
@@faithjolley6034 so well thought out! I agree
Well, no. They're wings. Do any of us grow back limbs? No. Some things the bidy can't do. Magically making wings is just short of creating animate creatures with a whole body and see can't do that level of complexity
her wings seem to have their own spirit as well since they were drawn to her at the end, so they might not have 'accepted' her when she was evil
Dylan: "I'm cheering for you!"
*and her name was Maleficent*
Dylan: "Oh boy"
ThatOneWeirdNerd 47 lol haha
Fun fact:
The scene when Maleficent wakes up after her wings are cut off , her reaction is meant to imitate how women feel after being drugged and assaulted and waking up and knowing what’s happened. Angelina Jolie did an interview I think where she explained the scene and why it was shot this way.
Edit: I get it guys, it’s not actually a ‘fun fact’ I’m not trying to say sexual assault is cool or anything just..that’s what I say before saying random facts I know
College Struggles ohhhhhhhh. That makes so much sense. That scene is super emotional. I know she’s a great actress, but man. Gotta give her props for that amazing scene
That gives the scene so much more dimension. Thanks for sharing! Angelina is just amazing. I teared up a tad when I watched that scene.

@@aintgonnaletuknow5758 in the movie she is ofcourse because yeah her wings are cut off and we don't know any different but it was just the meaning of that he took advantage of her when she was asleep actually drugged by that little bottle that layed on the grass.

Honestly best thing he said all video LMAO
I liked how Stephen gave Maleficent the "gift" of what he said was"true love's kiss" and Maleficent was so bitter about his betrayal she made that the key to ending the curse.
yes since stefans give of the true love kiss never was a true loves kiss to her so she probbaly did not believe in like "true love" so she used it as the key to ending the curse, as she believed there is no way it can be ended.
Ohh so that’s why maleficent included the true love’s kiss in her curse. I feel dumb not realizing that until now
“Beloved by everyone she meets”
Sis you just played yourself
How did I never catch that, I feel so dumb... 😂
Yep. They decided in the prefilming meeting to make every single character a retard.
I CACKLED
😮😮😮 I'm shook, I ain't notice
When you are angry and curse someone-you don't give a fuck about the logic. That is why there is so much violence in the real world. So it makes sense that she didn't think about how it will affect her. Just wanted to harm a bastard.

1:49 😉
"He doesn't have a classically handsome face. So I'm pretty sure he is going to be killed... or cursed... or something bad"
Too true.
Fun fact: when they were filming the scene where Maleficent picks up Aurora as a child, they had to use Angelina Jolie’s daughter because all of the other children that age were terrified of her in the costume. Angelina’s daughter was able to see that it was her mom though which is why she wasn’t scared.
lmao thats adorable!!!

That's so cute, love the way she grabs the horns to like "mommy what's going on with your head? Don't worry I still love you"

Umnia for real I used to tell people that tangled was underrated and then I saw his tangled video. And this is one of my favorite movies and now I’m like this guy knows his stuff. Lol
And not liking Frozen as much
The reason why Stefan sent Arouca away as well as burning all of the spinning wheels was because that he felt that Maleficent would come after the kid but in actuality, Maleficent ended up raising his kid to be kind and everything Stefan was not since he wasn’t there to teach her that Maleficent was evil.

Well, funnily enough there's a version of this fairy tale from 1600 where the sleeping beauty gets pricked by a thorn and she falls asleep, and the entire kingdom with her, after a fairy casts a spell on everybody, and makes a forest grow around the castle. Many years later a king, who was hunting in the vicinity, finds the castle and the sleeping beauty (still "dead", or asleep whatever) rapes her and leaves. Nine months later she gives birth to twins, and when reaching for her breast for feeding themselves, one of them sucks her finger, pulls the thorn out and she finally wakes up.
The story ends with sleeping beauty raising her children all by herself.
You're welcome.
That's disturbing 😳
There was a continuation of that I think. Apparently the king went back and happily agreed to take care of the children and the mother, thing is he's married to another woman. The Queen was obviously outraged, so she decides to kill the twins and make the king drink their blood and eat their meat. Pretty sure it continues but I can't remember the rest of it

yeah and that's what it was supposed to represent
i’m pretty sure angelina jolie talks about it in a metaphor
I compared it to literal mutilation like breast mutilation or sth like that that really messes victims up bc they are literally losing defining parts of themselves or just parts and period, but yeah
Except she does get her wings back... that's why it works far better as a metaphor for domestic abuse/assault.

She's not evil. Not only Stefan took her wings, but betrayed her. She loved him and trust him. When she founded out that he has a daughter she was still in love with him. That child meant to her that he betrayed her even more because, after all he was with another woman. That hurts.

Sorry bro but she's pretty evil lol even if it hurts it doesn't justify all the hurt _she_ caused to blameless people. Cursing a newborn for the sins of her father? Yikes. She's cool af being evil at least.
Had her revenge been directed at Stefan, sure. But she IS evil because she chose to hurt not him directly but an innocent child. Using an innocent, particularly a child, as a pawn for your revenge with no thought of the effect on the innocent is evil.

TW: I really enjoy this movie because of its symbolism. Maleficent getting her wings stolen is a metaphor for her being raped, she hides away and hates the world. She forgets how to love and curses anything that has to do with her offender, she slowly learns how to love again through aurora and forgive him which is the acceptance. She brings down her thorn wall symbolizing her learning to love and opening up again
A movie star said it's a rape metaphor to get publicity for the movie, but that doesn't make it a good metaphor as she gets her wings back, but rape victims cannot be unraped and virgins don't get their virginity back. She only cursed an innocent baby, but leaves her ex-boyfriend all his power, wealth and kingly title (the reasons he betrayed her) for 16years to enjoy. She waited over 15years before even trying once to remove the curse, so she obviously didn't care for baby/toddler/pre-teen Aurora at all. If she had forgiven Stefan then she would have used her magic (telekinesis, etc) or wings to save the life of Aurora's father for Aurora. Even at the end she cared more about her revenge than forgiveness or what Aurora may want.
@@PyroDrew i think the reason she didnt toutch any of his wealth and power is cause she wanted him to slowly be driven mad with fear of what she could do and the inevitability of her curse. It was a very drawn out revenge plan for the sake of causing Stefan as much pain as possible i believe.
@@DecemberDaydreams Maybe, but her curse has a paradox problem to it too. If Stefan was suffering from the curse because he truly loved his daughter (which would explain a lot of his scenes in the movie) then that means he could also break the curse by kissing Aurora, but if he didn't truly love his daughter then the curse didn't really make him suffer that much. We can't say cursing his daughter hurt his pride because he gave up his pride before the curse when he begged Maleficent on his knees in front of everyone for mercy for his daughter. Apparently, Maleficent also got extremely lucky that Aurora's birth mother didn't truly love Aurora either.
Maybe Stefan was driven mad out of fear of her, but that makes him look real stupid as a villain because he knew her and yet still knowingly put himself in that position. He knew she was not a weak nobody. Super human strength, rapid healing, vast powers, supernatural friends, and she's the leader of a huge undefeated army while the human army lost horribly. He had no reason to believe she and her legions of armies couldn't destroy the entire human kingdom. Seeing the villain be such an underdog was odd. It was like watching the TH-cam video of Bambi vs. Godzilla. Stefan won't win any evil mastermind awards.
"She was a good fairy, and her name was *[a word that is a synonym for malevolent or diabolical]"*
Ironic, isn't it?
Her name is a combination of malevolent and magnificent
honestly, they should have put her another name and make maleficient be her nickname, at least that would have made more sense.
I questioned that the first time I watched as well, but fae creatures usually aren't just good. They're more of a chaotic neutral, so maybe in some weird way, it makes sense
I always thought Disney got the name from Maleficium- the Latin word for an act of witchcraft. (if you've ever studied the dreadful witch trials, you'll know)
Bro when u distorted maleficents face after Aurora said “you’re my godmother” I wheezed😂
aurora is my favorite princess
Random Girl03
she slept for the whole original movie except for like 10 minutes
😂
@@hatter7824 yeah but honestly thats a whole mood
Random Girl03 true 😂
@@spacegoblin0334 Meanwhile I disliked the movie just because she annoyed me that much lmao
Fun fact: young Aurora is Angelina's daughter. The kids were so terrified by her in costume that they cried. Only her daughter didn't cry so she got the role
Lightmare Thor cool I did not know that
13:20 the guy got decked by the tree and it instantly cut me to an ad which just enhanced that so much. Comedy
The scene where she wakes up realising her wings have been cut off will always break me. The emotion cuts so deep, I can't help but cry, imagining if someone I trusted and loved did something so unthinkable like that.
I can't imagine how painful that was for her Stefan is a bitch I'm glad he's dead and didn't appear in the sequel.
I've heard that that scene was purposefully meant to represent sexual assault, which just makes it even more impactful
Angie (maleficent’s actor) said in an interview that the scene is supposed to represent waking up after being drugged and assaulted by someone you trust
Just realized that one of the pixies is Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter 😐
Pink again!
@@ElcsieRetakov True!
same!!! and her getting shit and slapped was satisfying..... cause she's umbridge
I legit screamed ahaha. It’s so weird to see her as a dumb, good character when I know her for the anti-Dumbledore that she is in HP
I feel bad for the actress cause I will always see her as Umbridge and nothing else
Dylan: Predicts 5 scenes ahead of current scene
Also Dylan: is correct
25:24 Maleficent breaking through that window is such a money shotttttttt
“He doesn’t have a movie star face so he’s probably going to be screwed over” I lost my mind 😂😂😂
I just realized that Maleficent basically cursed herself to love Aurora. Oops
Oh yes
How?

Dylan's obsession with Flynn Ryder is one of my favorite things about him
Aurora: "Whats your name?"
Philip: "Its Philip."
Dylan: "His name is phil.."
Movie Commentary Monday on Sunday?
As Maleficent said: Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
Oh wait
God damn it you're here too
“The baby looks concerned”
- Dylan 2019 🤣
The only child that wasn’t scared of maleficent was her own daughter so they used her when she picks the child up!
That's so heartwarming. I thought the kid they used was adorable but I didn't know that it was her own daughter, now I have even more love for that scene.
Omg i knew that too, i need to see Dylan's reaction to that fact
Sinnie Bunni it is very heartwarming that her own daughter could recognise her with all the makeup and scary horns.
That’s so sweet
13:41 I'm pretty sure Will Smith watched this video before going to the Oscars
Who else deadass thought the Crow dude was gonna wake her up
I did XD, my aunt did when we watched it. She said "oh so this is the change?" And we were disappointed the Crow wasn't the one who woke her lol
So sad that they didn't take that plot twist. They could have had n even better ending if that's what got the crow and Maleficent to leave is when they find out Aurora is just as shallow like her human family.
meeee
I did too, but then I thought it would be kind of weird for it to be him because Aurora was closer to Maleficent and if it was in a love love kind of why it would also be weird considering he also raised her.
man idk.. he literally knew her since she was a baby and took care of her.. itd be weird
