I shall begin this 記事 unconventionally, によって speaking of something personal. This 年 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 愛 life (which remains laughable), and to my very health. I have been really sick. I relate to the アラジン of the 1992 film, even もっと見る so now, than when I first shook his hand in 1992. I relate to being constantly dirt poor, scared out of my mind, living 日 to 日 on the edge of the precipice, and skirting によって through just the slimmest of margins. Every 日 is starting to look a lot like yesterday…. And I can see why アラジン wants people “to look closer” at him, and see that “there’s so much もっと見る to me.” *cue 音楽 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, もっと見る または 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 または trying to leave this plane of existence. It’s a tough job, and life has only 与えられた me tough choices. I am much like those who want “to become so much もっと見る 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 アラジン is all about. Making your own magic. Not relying on the magic of someone else. But using who あなた are to do the deed.
    So, without further ado, let’s see what the アラジン 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 記事 any further if あなた 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, または 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 ジャスミン in the original was もっと見る of a spitfire. ジャスミン 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 ジャスミン had cunning. She did undermine Jafar, even if it was only to give アラジン a shot at defeating him.
    Naomi’s ジャスミン 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 ジャスミン was missing in the remake, because Naomi’s ジャスミン 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 ジャスミン was winking at her handmaid, Dhalia, または leaving the room. Again. And again. And Again. Again.
    So much of Belle. If あなた upset me, I won’t tell あなた this straight out. I will just passively-aggressively convince あなた to see that I am right. I won’t verbally say, “All of あなた 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 ディズニー undercut it, によって doing the same trick they did in Brave, where Merida was 歌う “Touch the Sky” all in her head. Oh, gosh. I just would love, really 愛 it if あなた didn’t tease me によって purporting to “give the princess a new song to sing” --- but then totally undercut the impact of it によって having the song be sung “all in her head.”
    Okay. I do remember that ジャスミン lived in yet another patriarchal society. But Naomi’s ジャスミン 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 ジャスミン 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 ジャスミン didn’t just stand there, at a loss for words, with Jafar’s fingers under her chin.
    My quibbles with Naomi’s ジャスミン 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 アラジン 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 もっと見る 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 もっと見る feminist to adhere to the archetype of the strong female if she’s an inventor, has ice powers, または 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 記事 saying “we make our own magic.” And inside Naomi’s ジャスミン it isn’t this at all. I hear her sighing, as she sits with remake アラジン on a rooftop, stating that, “The people make the kingdom I live in, magical.” Oh, they do? I see あなた leaving most of the entire plotline of this movie on the table, while あなた pursue your rule over Agrabah. Maybe, 表示する me how あなた would provide for the least insured, and the most heavily taxed, Jasmine? Maybe, 表示する me how あなた would care for widows and orphans such as Aladdin…? I know, I know. It’s easier to just speak of the goal あなた 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 あなた to stop putting up a facade, a convincing front to who あなた are, while あなた chase that Sultanship.
    Authenticate. Be magical. The 1992 ジャスミン 発言しました to Jafar, “I was not kidnapped. I ran away!” The 1992 ジャスミン knew who she was, and told everyone what she did, straight up. The 1992 ジャスミン 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 ジャスミン wasn’t awful.
    She was in the middle. A tone was 与えられた to this ジャスミン 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 与えられた 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 ジャスミン 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 または 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 または IMDB. I don’t have anything much to say. Carpet wasn’t as funny, though, as he was in the original.

Rajah: もっと見る 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? アラジン is blown across the room によって Genie dust. Dhalia: “Say something. Act natural. Uh-hahahaha—Hiiiii!” *Sigh, Disney, sigh.* If あなた ever wanted to find out what is the opposite of comic relief? Dhalia.

Aladdin/Prince Ali Ababwa: Mena Massoud was もっと見る 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 ディズニー reduce the motor-mouth, smooth-talking Aladdin, to a clammed-up social inept, for the remake? Because the execs at ディズニー and Guy Ritchie thought that this would be funnier? Well, it wasn’t. Seeing this version of アラジン 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 ディズニー 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 ジャスミン push the brakes, and not the accelerator, multiple times. I wanted to enjoy the adventure, because most of アラジン 1992 was a pure, non-stop- adrenaline-ride from the opening sequence to closure. In the remake, I kept being treated to ジャスミン 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 ご飯, 米 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, ディズニー 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 によって 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 ジャスミン gestures, how she turns herself around, how she throws her head back, etc.


Conclusion: Is it this time, already? Well, that went によって fast. Is it just me, または 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, アラジン says this line. In the remake, both Genie and アラジン finish each other’s sentences saying this line, for the fourth または fifth time. I forget which. So then it was mildly irritating.
    My 全体, 全体的です assessment of this film is this. The remake of アラジン is charming if あなた wanted もっと見る 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.


Thanks for 読書 if あなた made it this far! Did あなた 愛 the remake, only liked it, または did あなた dislike it? あなた can コメント below.

AU where Ariel's sisters scorn her for being ignorant after getting married to Eric, except for the oldest sister because she once fell in 愛 with a human too before any of them were born and was forbidden to talk about it.

AU where Belle is great at writing, and when Adam can't figure out how to correctly write trade letters to other kingdoms Belle does it for him

AU where Cogsworth and Lumiere start dating after they're both turned back into humans, and Belle is constantly giving Lumiere アドバイス about dating. Then, one day, Lumiere proposes to Cogsworth and Belle becomes his best "man"/woman...

My Original Thoughts

I absolutely loved Ariel. I can't really go in depth about it, because when I first saw it, I was really little. (Prolly about 5 または 6) But my feelings were pretty straightforward: she was a MERMAID & was pretty & a unique princess. I mean, I kinda wanted to be her. Who wouldn't want to live under the sea? I never really understood why she wanted be a human, though, because a mermaid was freaking amazing in my mind! Something...

As the sun settled down into the sky, Ariel watched as steam poured out of the crock-pot the cook was using. It made a popping noise once in awhile from all the boiling it was doing, which made her jump. She was curious, and wanted to ask what made it do that. But, she couldn't. Not after she gave her voice away. She touched her throat a bit, until someone pulled on her back. She turned her head to see the maid, short and plump, grumpy faced.
"You should be getting ready! Dinner's only in less than thirty minutes."
Ariel had a strong urge to fight back and tell her she couldn't boss her around...

Merida was worried.

I could get fired for this. I want to keep this job もっと見る than anything.

She wasn't sure if dragging ジャスミン into the bushes was the best idea.

I wasn't supposed to do this, and now I'll get caught. she thought.

Afterwards she called her friend Ariel.

"Who are you?" Ariel asked.

"I'm your friend, Merida." Merida responded to her.

"I don't have a friend named Merida." Ariel replied back.

Merida hung up the phone. She then went to call Ariel's father to see what was going on.

"My poor daughter has amnesia." He explained. "I'm sorry Merida, but she won't remember you."

Several months 前 I wrote this ファン fiction for the first time, many people seemed to 愛 it, but I stopped 書く because it was around the time アナと雪の女王 was going to be released and after that I just ロスト an interest in 書く ファン fictions, but after 読書 some of the newer ファン fictions here I decided to rewrite this ファン fiction, differences from the last version? It'll have Anna (Kristen) and Elsa (Idina) in it and the stories will be different from the ones in the last one. I can already now tell あなた that some might be dark and when October comes I'll write a special ハロウィン story...

As usual, I have a hard time making lists so don't pay too much attention to the rankings and just read what I have to say.


12. Brave
If you've known me over a 年 ago, you'd know that I'm not much of a ピクサー・アニメーション・スタジオ fan. Yes, I know I'm an awful person for discriminating between アニメーション studios and this is ピクサー・アニメーション・スタジオ we're talking about. So yeah, I'm guessing this is why I can't get into メリダとおそろしの森 no matter how hard I try, considering it's also one, if not, my least お気に入り ピクサー・アニメーション・スタジオ movie.

ムーラン and Shang had walked in when they saw John and Merida on the ground in a サークル, 円 praying for Pocahontas. ムーラン listened carefully to what they were saying. "Please help Pocahontas get through this in your name." they said. "Should we join?" Shang asked. "Let them do this one によって themselves." ムーラン suggested. It wasn't long before John and Merida looked up and noticed her and Shang. "Come 登録する us." Merida greeted. ムーラン and Shang knelt down her and John and continued with the vigil.

Bonjour! So today I just wanted to say a few things about me so people can get to know me better.

10 ランダム things about me:

1. I was born in Australia and I live there, therefore English is my first language but I also speak French (well, I've been learning it for four years, so I am not fluent but I want to continue until I am fluent.)

2. My favourite subjects at school are English, French and History

3. When I am older I hope to become a creative writer (author) but if that doesn't happen then a teacher

4. I am quiet, creative and (kind-of) intelligent. (I mean, I don't have much common sense,...

Yes, the タイトル is very original! Basically, what あなた see in the タイトル is what あなた get, so let's get to it!

Okay, so most of あなた already know that my name is Jackie, but...

It's not! *mindblown*

It's mainly because I don't want people to try track me down, since あなた never know who あなた can trust on the Interwebs. But, if I feel that you're close to me, then I'll probably tell you. Otherwise, just call me Jackie. I don't really mind. I'm 13 years old, much to lots of people's surprise, since I sound like I'm 18+, and I live in America. Specifically, California.

My ユーザー名 is pretty self explanatory....

I want Pocahontas' athleticism!

I am not the most athletic person in the world and I really suck at sports. It would be great to be もっと見る athletic または at least hate sports less.

I had good news and bad news. The good news was that I was going to ディズニー Academy. The bad news was that I had to leave Agrabah and Aladdin. I was sure that アラジン would know that I need to be schooled and he would understand that, but it was so hard too say goodbye. I walked up to him and sucked up my tears.
"A-Aladdin." I stuttered. "I really need to tell あなた something."
"Sure." He said. "What is it?"
"I've been a-acccepted in D-Disney Academy. Th-That means that I h-have to leave y-you." I couldn't take it, and bursted out crying.
"Aww. Jasmine, I'm happy あなた get to go to ディズニー Academy....

She was walking fast, shouting about the piece that must be made between hers and English people. Standing for many hours and going up and down, trying to take people’s attention with slogans among with a group of other English people, she felt exhausted, but nothing was stronger than her will, so she did anything but stopped.
