"So what are the uplifting words that express this poignant moment? "Does is freak you out? I am free and proud. Doing it in style, baby. Who's the fool now?" Uh...what? What the hell do those lyrics (delivered in a generic, American Idol-dropped contestant punk rock snarl) have to do with the previous scene? Not only are the lyrics ugly, they're senseless. Who is she ticked-off at? Her mother? Her mother honored their agreement and wished her well on her journey. Those lyrics sound like something a spurned lover would say...so, again - what do those sentiments have to do with that scene?"
That really doesn't fit with that scene, in my opinion at least. I mean, at that point in the movie, she's optimistic. I don't think Corinne was ever faced with any hostility about her dreams before she got to Paris, so who's she got to be angry at? It could probably be applied to later scenes, but not that one.
In addition, I've seen many parents complainng and stating that the movie contains a lot of violence. Okay, I can understand them at one point, because I know that little girls have the tendency to idolize to Barbie, and simply copy her, but saying that they would never recommend this movie it's not the right thing for me. Besides, all these fight scenes were so mild performed in the movie, that they wouldn't cause any problem, I think.
Finally, I'll have to agree that there's really a lack of romance in the movie. We had only a few scenes of Corinne and Louis. And when Louis was just one step before confessing his love to Corinne, she abandoned this chance. I guess this was done, because it's not proper for a musketeer to "date" with the Prince, since it was probably believed so in those times. Though, I never truly believed this fact.
As for violence... well, if I'm honest, I think Mattel handled the "violence" rather well. I'm using quotation marks because the supposed "violence" in this movie doesn't strike me as such. There IS fighting, yes, and weapons are used, but that's part of the plot. The whole movie's about girls wanting to be musketeers and training to do so. You couldn't really avoid having some scenes with fighting and weapons. But it's really not that violent; no one's actually hurt by said weapons. No blood is spilled. If anything, compared to what COULD be done with swords, I'd say this movie handles it quite appropriately. Long story short; I agree, they wouldn't cause any problem.
There IS a lack of romance, but I feel that's something they could expand upon if they made a sequel. Also, it probably wouldn't be proper for Corinne to date Louis. I get the feeling that wouldn't stop them from doing it, but it's certainly worth considering.
Yes, I'll have to admit that Mattel tried their best to keep any sense of violence out, especially in the sword-fighting scenes of the movie. The villains were just knocked down in a mild and innocent way, which is another positive aspect of the movie. Besides, the whole idea of the movie is that girls can do anything without relying on anyone, but themselves. I'll dare to say that the movie has this kind of the "anti" version of an ordinary Princess, where the heroine lives happily ever after with the Prince. Unfortunately, we don't see something like this happening in 3M.
As for romance in this movie... ah... I'll never get tired of analyzing this issue. There's such little romantic involvement in the movie, it's almost like a hint, a fact that keeps disappointing me in a great way. Honestly, I'll never get bored of saying that I wanted a kiss of Corinne and Louis. Ι know, it's way unreal, and it creates a huge contrast to the concept of the movie, but it's so unfair! They were so close, and they lost it. I guess it's all been done for stereotypical reasons. Though, I'm still insisting on it. Well, I felt this one was something left "hanging" when the movie ended. Last, I demand Mattel includes MANY more scenes, and focus even more on them in a future sequel. All I have to do is keep my fingers crossed.
