I shall begin this bài viết unconventionally, bởi speaking of something personal. This năm has been very rough for me in a lot of ways. The roughness has impacted every single sphere of my life, from my finances, to my job, to my tình yêu life (which remains laughable), and to my very health. I have been really sick. I relate to the Aladdin và cây đèn thần of the 1992 film, even thêm so now, than when I first shook his hand in 1992. I relate to being constantly dirt poor, scared out of my mind, living ngày to ngày on the edge of the precipice, and skirting bởi through just the slimmest of margins. Every ngày is starting to look a lot like yesterday…. And I can see why Aladdin và cây đèn thần wants people “to look closer” at him, and see that “there’s so much thêm to me.” *cue âm nhạc swelling*
    I recently got a coffee mug, with a unicorn on it. It is pastel pink, and it reads “you are something magical.” I bought it, because it was whimsy. But now that I think about it… I wonder just how much of life really is “the magic that comes from inside.” If I am something magical, then it really doesn’t matter that I am now facing this downward spiral. I can just plummet downward. I make my own magic, thêm hoặc less.
    It’s all a mind thing. The late Robin Williams suffered because it was “all a mind thing” all along. And Williams passed on, because the mind can be a very tragic debilitating war zone. I work as a nurse just at the border between life and death. I serve those who are touching hoặc trying to leave this plane of existence. It’s a tough job, and life has only được trao me tough choices. I am much like those who want “to become so much thêm than they are”--- and there are few who succeed in mastery of themselves. It’s important to realize that my struggles only solidify my need for digesting this…. I make my own magic.
     And that’s what the film Aladdin và cây đèn thần is all about. Making your own magic. Not relying on the magic of someone else. But using who bạn are to do the deed.
    So, without further ado, let’s see what the Aladdin và cây đèn thần remake from 2019 got right in the magic department, and what was left collecting dust in the Cave of Wonders.

SPOILER ALERT!
Please don’t read this bài viết any further if bạn haven’t seen the movie yet, and don’t want any spoilers!


The Prologue: I did like the opening to this movie. Part of my enjoyment is Will Smith. He can charm when he’s in the right spot. However, Will had a white/beige speck of something in his beard during the opening scene--- and that really kept me staring, and distracted me from what he was saying. Was it the lighting? The sun reflecting off of the waves? There was something stuck in his beard, and I don’t understand if I am blind. I saw it!
    Other than that, the opening was good, and Will can sing pretty well enough to do service to the song Arabian Nights.

The Principal Characters We All Know (and Some of Us Love)

Jasmine: Naomi Scott. I think the whole club has blown up with perspectives on whether she surpassed the original Jasmine. Did she, hoặc didn’t she? I think she ended up in the middle. At times, I just found her to be very much too poised/ too reserved. Naomi’s Jasmine, in most scenes, ended up expressing a lot of Belle traits: sarcastic quips with a side-twisted smile; leaving the room instead of talking to the other person; staring mournfully from the sidelines.
    The hoa nhài in the original was thêm of a spitfire. hoa nhài in the original was not known for mournfully staring from the sidelines when “the-goings-on-were-going-on.” She openly glared at her antagonists, she power-walked, and she even “pretended to have magic affect her.” The 1992 hoa nhài had cunning. She did undermine Jafar, even if it was only to give Aladdin và cây đèn thần a shot at defeating him.
    Naomi’s hoa nhài is too preoccupied with chasing Sultanship, that she pays little attention to Aladdin’s existence. I felt that most of the chemistry between Al and hoa nhài was missing in the remake, because Naomi’s hoa nhài was SO STIFF. The only time she thawed out, was in the scene where she was trying to find Ababwa on the map. All the other times, remake hoa nhài was winking at her handmaid, Dhalia, hoặc leaving the room. Again. And again. And Again. Again.
    So much of Belle. If bạn upset me, I won’t tell bạn this straight out. I will just passively-aggressively convince bạn to see that I am right. I won’t verbally say, “All of bạn are just standing around deciding my future!” No, I will repress it, sing inside my head --- ‘Speechless’--- and try to coax loyalty from the head palace guard.
    I liked Speechless as a song. Right up…er…until Disney undercut it, bởi doing the same trick they did in Brave, where Merida was hát “Touch the Sky” all in her head. Oh, gosh. I just would love, really tình yêu it if bạn didn’t tease me bởi purporting to “give the princess a new song to sing” --- but then totally undercut the impact of it bởi having the song be sung “all in her head.”
    Okay. I do remember that hoa nhài lived in yet another patriarchal society. But Naomi’s hoa nhài has no cunning, save for the one instance where she blatantly grabs the lamp from Jafar when she is standing there hemming-and–hawing—as she tries not to say “I do.” I recall that the 1992 hoa nhài flicked Jafar’s spittle right back in his face, and threw a full glass of wine at him, when he invaded her personal space… The 1992 hoa nhài didn’t just stand there, at a loss for words, with Jafar’s fingers under her chin.
    My quibbles with Naomi’s hoa nhài are these. 1) She’s not fiery/ a spitfire. She’s too mournful, and behaves like Belle does when she’s upset. 2) She isn’t cunning. 3) She chases power and distinction. Power and distinction are the very things that the remake Will Smith-Genie warns and lectures Aladdin và cây đèn thần on-and-on about in the desert, right when they are sitting in those Adirondack chairs under the cloth awning.
So, I know it’s timely, and even thêm feminist, to have the heroine sing a song about throwing off the patriarchy—except the song is sung in her head. And I know it’s thêm feminist to adhere to the archetype of the strong female if she’s an inventor, has ice powers, hoặc is a power-wielding Sultan. If a song and a handful of new traits are the “strengths” of your female prototype, then we just might have it.
    But it’s devoid of magic. I mean, what’s magical is what’s inside. I began this bài viết saying “we make our own magic.” And inside Naomi’s hoa nhài it isn’t this at all. I hear her sighing, as she sits with remake Aladdin và cây đèn thần on a rooftop, stating that, “The people make the kingdom I live in, magical.” Oh, they do? I see bạn leaving most of the entire plotline of this movie on the table, while bạn pursue your rule over Agrabah. Maybe, hiển thị me how bạn would provide for the least insured, and the most heavily taxed, Jasmine? Maybe, hiển thị me how bạn would care for widows and orphans such as Aladdin…? I know, I know. It’s easier to just speak of the goal bạn desire, and not the conundrum of carrying it out…
    I make my own magic. My mug reads “you are something magical.”
    Jasmine from 2019 is trying. But she’s trying too hard. She needs to just be herself.
    Being yourself, allows bạn to stop putting up a facade, a convincing front to who bạn are, while bạn chase that Sultanship.
    Authenticate. Be magical. The 1992 hoa nhài đã đưa ý kiến to Jafar, “I was not kidnapped. I ran away!” The 1992 hoa nhài knew who she was, and told everyone what she did, straight up. The 1992 hoa nhài was an unvarnished straight arrow. She was authentic. And she was feminist.
    This boils down to perspectives, I guess.
    This is going to sound jarring, but I am going to be frank.
    Is chasing power, true feminism?
    I thought feminism was equality of pay, give and take, spunk, camaraderie, repartee, and the courtesy to others of acknowledging when you’ve probably had enough. It’s knowing your own limits.
    Naomi’s hoa nhài wasn’t awful.
    She was in the middle. A tone was được trao to this hoa nhài that sort of clashed, and it prevented chemistry from happening with her would-be paramour, and it also prevented me from seeing her authenticity.
     Be yourself. It’s circa 1992.
     In 2019, I think it’s still relevant. Be magical.

Jafar: Moving right along. Oh, yuck. Marwan Kenzari. Never heard of him. He probably would work well, like Luke Evans did, in a different movie. This Jafar had no charm, and no charisma. He just had malice. He wasn’t even effective at being menacing! I wasn’t sure why malice was the only thing this Jafar had in his arsenal. Chops được trao to the 1992 version of Jafar.

Iago: Alan Tudyk was good. But his role in the remake was so slight, while in the 1992 version, Iago did SO MUCH. What a waste of a villain side-kick, here.

Sultan: David Negahban was all right. But like Kevin Kline, he was kinda forgettable. Except for handing Naomi’s hoa nhài the reins to Agrabah, Negahban didn’t really impress.

Abu: He was all CGI. Who played Abu? No idea. He’s not listed in the casting on Google hoặc on IMDB. I don’t have much to say. But I liked the facial expressions in the 1992 version better.

Carpet: Again, it was all CGI. No actor is listed for casting on Google hoặc IMDB. I don’t have anything much to say. Carpet wasn’t as funny, though, as he was in the original.

Rajah: thêm CGI. The best part of Rajah’s role in the remake was licking Mena Massoud right up the face. That was random. Okay.


Handmaid Dhalia: To Jasmine: “Prince Ali has a very attractive friend. Please make it work!” WHAT? Aladdin và cây đèn thần is blown across the room bởi Genie dust. Dhalia: “Say something. Act natural. Uh-hahahaha—Hiiiii!” *Sigh, Disney, sigh.* If bạn ever wanted to find out what is the opposite of comic relief? Dhalia.

Aladdin/Prince Ali Ababwa: Mena Massoud was thêm of a side-character in this movie. I’m still wondering whether he is a better actor in another movie (just like Marwan Kenzari). Why did Disney reduce the motor-mouth, smooth-talking Aladdin, to a clammed-up social inept, for the remake? Because the execs at Disney and Guy Ritchie thought that this would be funnier? Well, it wasn’t. Seeing this version of Aladdin và cây đèn thần gave me cringe-worthy face palm moments. A lot of face palms. I felt like I was watching Lord Dingwald, Lord Macintosh, and Lord MacGuffin in Brave. I don’t find it very amusing to watch idiots who just can’t ever deliver a line with conviction and panache.


Genie/the Mariner: Will Smith will never be Robin Williams. I’m glad he didn’t even try. Will made the genie his own, and I applaud him for that, as he had stupendous shoes to fill…. Robin is now widely regarded as a legend in Disney fandom. But I think Will Smith did pretty well with this role. I don’t think Will overdid it. I don’t think Will could have done a better job than he did. And he WAS the comic relief this remake sorely needed.


The Story (and the new backstory)

The plot was fine, until we had remake hoa nhài push the brakes, and not the accelerator, multiple times. I wanted to enjoy the adventure, because most of Aladdin và cây đèn thần 1992 was a pure, non-stop- adrenaline-ride from the opening sequence to closure. In the remake, I kept being treated to hoa nhài pining around for bureaucratic opportunities, and there was no zing. The excitement wasn’t there. Will Smith made in-roads with the moments he livened the atmosphere as the Genie. But still…

The Music: Howard Ashman and Tim cơm, gạo with Alan Menken. Those familiar songs were carrying this movie. But they changed the lyrics to Arabian Nights, because, in our now lurid political climate, Disney needed to sanitize it for us all. Here link. I did catch this, right away, when first watching the remake. Later, I figured out it was on purpose. They also changed lyrics in “Prince Ali.”
     The new ‘Speechless’ was written bởi Benj Pasek and Justin Paul of La La Land. And now, that I consider it, much of the orchestration for this musical number does have the feel of La La Land. Look at how remake hoa nhài gestures, how she turns herself around, how she throws her head back, etc.


Conclusion: Is it this time, already? Well, that went bởi fast. Is it just me, hoặc did the screenwriters of the remake keep repeating rephrases of “phenomenal cosmic powers, itty bitty living space” too many times? Remake genie says this line several times--- so when this moment arrived for Jafar, this undercut his comeuppance for me. The impact of this wonderful line suddenly fizzled. I wonder why Disney/Guy Ritchie opted to do this? In the 1992 version, Aladdin và cây đèn thần says this line. In the remake, both Genie and Aladdin và cây đèn thần finish each other’s sentences saying this line, for the fourth hoặc fifth time. I forget which. So then it was mildly irritating.
    My tổng thể assessment of this film is this. The remake of Aladdin và cây đèn thần is charming if bạn wanted thêm of this version of jams and Jasmine. If not, then…honestly, it’s okay. I don’t and won’t hold it against you. I can understand why some people liked this Jasmine, while I, on the other hand, did not. It’s not because I don’t want women to express feminist tendencies. I wholeheartedly do. I just want them to be their truest, most authentic selves while doing it. And to be magical.

Hola! As most of bạn probably know, I have taken the liberty of restarting người hâm mộ of the tháng after a few months of inactivity due to Crazy_Rawr's absence. This is the first FOTM interview in months and it's with Tygers_Eye, FOTM for May. MalloMar provided the questions. Well, here's the long awaited interview :)

Well, I've already re-done my my first article, My yêu thích Disney Princesses, so I thought I would re-do my một giây one. I won't re-do all of my articles, but I wanted to re-do some of my earlier ones, because my opinions have changed and my nghề viết văn style has improved throughout the các bài viết I've written, it's not just because I'm running out of articles, and I promise that I'll have my tiếp theo soundtrack review up soon, (wow, this bài viết is old, I just came back to it and realized this was here. XD. I should get back to the soundtrack reviews though, so just keep đọc that.) I'm still trying...

I wanted to write a new bài viết for a long time,but I didn't have any new ideas.
So,why don't just make a Favourite DP Movie List?
And sorry for few mistakes,English isn't my native language (yeah,I always say that).
Also,this is just my opinion,I don't mean to hate hoặc hurt anybody.:D
So...Let's begin :)



13.Frozen
I just want to say one thing:I don't hate Frozen.I like some characters,I like the villians,I like the songs.
But I don't think that Nữ hoàng băng giá is THAT special.Yes,as I said,I liked it.I really enjoy watching it,it was actually fun.
But,there are some problems with it.I already wrote my...

13. Elsa
I feel really bad for having her in last place, honestly. It's just I find her quite plain compared to the others. I don't hate hoặc even dislike her I'm just not that interested with her and kind of feel like she could have made some better decisions.


12. Snow White
As before with Elsa, I don't dislike her I just prefer the others. The reason she's higher than Elsa is because I feel she handled her situation a lot better and has thêm personality.


11. Anna
I'm pretty neutral about Anna, she has a very sweet and bubbly personality which I sort of like, but on the other hand that...

I did my yêu thích Disney Princess danh sách before, but now it's changed a LOT, so I decided to remake the list. Anyways, please keep in mind that this is my opinion, so respect my opinion and I'll respect yours. Enjoy the article! :)




13. Anna
I used to dislike her, but my opinions have changed. I actually like Anna now. Not a lot, and I still find her annoying, but I actually like her now. I still have some problems with her though. Like marrying a man bạn just met? Going into the freezing cold in a dress? She makes stupid decisions, and that also annoys me. She's still in last right now, but...

Ok, I'm pretty sure everyone knows bởi now that I'm not a huge Nữ hoàng băng giá fan! And I tình yêu ranting and having debates, so how about we do a thảo luận again? (I know that they're going on in the diễn đàn section but I'm going to do an bài viết because I don't want to differ from what they're talking about now.) this time, instead of talking about just Anna, Elsa, the parents, and the trolls, how about we talk about the positives and negatives of this movie?

How about I start with the positive section. There's got to be at least something I like about this movie, right?

The Positives

Bonjour! So basically what I am doing is a danh sách of my favourite outfits; but I am sticking to one outfit per princess. Also this only applies to the first and original movie; there are no sequels included. This bài viết also includes Elsa and Anna. This is not a countdown; I tried to do one and it was too hard. I will also be talking about some of the accessories that go with that outfit, including shoes, jewellery, gloves, hairpieces etc. (There is only one outfit that Pocahontas wears, so there can only be one favourite. However I am still including her because I can still say some things...

Pocahontas was out helping her people gather thực phẩm early one morning when Nakoma ran up to her. "You shouldn't be working since you've had those frequent dizzy spells." she advised. "Nakoma, I feel fine. Besides, the tribe could use all the help around here." Pocahontas reassured. "Okay, but Kekata's got a close eye on you." Nakoma replied. "If I get dizzy again, I'll take a break." Pocahontas promised. The reason behind the dizzy spells? Pocahontas was pregnant!

"So, have bạn told anyone else about the baby?" Nakoma asked. "I've told Mulan." Pocahontas answered. Nakoma was alittle surprised....

It's about time I got my đít, mông, ass into gear and write this article. I've been planning on nghề viết văn this for far to long. This bài viết is about who I think belongs in the line-up the most. Before bạn get mad and start shouting that all the princesses belong in the line-up, I ask bạn to do two things. First, remember that I KNOW THAT!!! NO NEED TO TELL ME!!! This is an opinion. Second, read the whole thing before commenting, I have my reasons why I put each princess where she is.
Now, with that all out of the way, let's start....

The fact I hate this girl has nothing to do with why she's here....

This was inspired bởi Princesslullaby's List(s) that everyone wants to read, it's probably the bài viết I've read the most often. Though I'm not going to talk about score hoặc phim hoạt hình because I feel those subjects need to be analysed a different way. This was a challenge for me, I found it impossible to do. And I know, my danh sách changed once again. It's like it automatically shifts on its own every 5 months. But this time, I tried to be thêm objective and fair, I don't know if it's the right thing to do because I think with my tim, trái tim sometimes. But I'm pretty confident so here goes nothing!

I was thinking about the fact that Middle-Eastern and Indian royalty back in the days would have what is called a harem. Jasmine's dad as far as we know doesn't have one. If Jasmine's dad had one it would be very likely she would have had shared living quarters with her steps and half-sisters and maybe aunts.

I think if hoa nhài had grown up in a harem she would been complete different and be 1)competitive and 2)she would also be Vigilant due to the number of X times she had been poison-if on purpose hoặc bởi accident bởi the steps.

of course there's the fact Jafar could somehow 'use' her steps to get closer to her. So maybe that's one of the reasons why they didn't have a harem.

So this isn't a countdown, however there is a ranking of where the movie sits on my favourites danh sách (out of twelve for twelve movies)
I have done the other phim chiếu rạp in my mother các bài viết and now I am doing Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Công chúa tóc xù and Frozen.
