Moana Movie Review

                            Moana Movie Review


A sixteen-year-old girl embarks on a sea adventure to save her people in Disney's Moana, which is set in ancient Polynesia. Emotional, humorous, and intelligent, this might be one of the best Disney movies ever made, not just in the last few years. From the wise grandma to the animal companion to the conflict between an adventurous girl and her stern father, all of the classic Disney clichés are present. However, it all feels fresh in some way.

The movie is self-assured enough that, for the most part, it doesn't need to make references to past Disney princess movies (although it does make at least one jab at the clichés) to prove that it is accomplishing something unique. And it ought to be this way. I don't want to spend every moment of the story comparing it to Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or Cinderella and thinking if Moana did it better, if it's feminist enough, or if it's important that a heroine saves the world without dating. Dissection can wait—at least not while I'm viewing it.




By simply presuming that Moana has powers, the movie puts an end to any doubts about them and allows us to concentrate on everything else. The film features some amazing action sequences, stunning graphics, a charming ensemble of characters, and flawless comedic timing. And there's the music, of course! I couldn't even bring myself to criticize something in the movie, like the villain's song, which seems to be artistically inconsistent with the rest of the soundtrack. I'm too devoted to the movie. It touches all the right spots on your heart.

And the hymn of the heroine? Her ultimate acknowledgment of her identity? It truly serves as the film's focal point and is breathtaking. Once more, Moana's character development concludes with the assumption that she is strong, competent, and knowledgeable. She claims to have done a fantastic job during her voyage. She is the owner of her abilities. She says, I've done this. It is incredibly motivating to hear a woman on film accept recognition for her efforts and be praised for them instead of being called aggressive or inappropriate.

See Moana, then! You won't regret it!

                                Taste The Feeling The advertisement above that will be analyzed was created for the new big Coca-Cola campaign titled “Taste the Feeling” in 2016.                                                      Contrast The dark and light parts in the picture demonstrate the contrast in this commercial. The people stand out against a bright, light background while wearing dark attire. The viewer's attention is drawn to the joyful and smiling couple and then to the bottle of Coke that the girl is holding because of the stark contrast in hue. The Coca-Cola logo likewise makes use of contrast. It stands out and attracts the viewer's attention since it is isolated in the upper left corner and is a vivid red on a black background.     ...

Gender stereotypes in Sri Lankan society

Image
Gender stereotypes in Sri Lankan society are shaped by cultural, religious, and historical influences. These stereotypes often assign specific roles, behaviors, and expectations to individuals based on their gender, and they can limit opportunities and reinforce inequality. Women are primarily homemakers In traditional Sri Lankan culture, women are often expected to stay at home, take care of the household, cook, clean, and raise children. This stereotype is deeply rooted in cultural and religious teachings, and it is still prevalent in many rural and urban families. Even when women work, they are often expected to continue managing household responsibilities without support from their husbands. It limits women’s career growth. It adds pressure to balance home and work life. It reduces recognition of women’s contributions beyond the household. Men should not show vulnerability Sri Lankan boys are often taught from a young age to "be strong" and not cry or express emotions. Th...

Analysis of Strange World (2022)

Image
  In Disney's 2022 animated film Strange World , Ethan Clade is portrayed as a 16-year-old biracial teenager who is openly gay. Voiced by Jaboukie Young-White, Ethan's character is depicted as empathetic, bold, and impulsive, typical traits of adolescence. His romantic feelings for his friend Diazo are presented as a natural aspect of his character, seamlessly integrated into the storyline without being the central focus. Strange World differs from this norm by making Ethan’s sexuality clear and transparent. He openly has a crush on Diazo, and his parents are entirely supportive. Ethan’s queerness is an integral part of who he is and does not form the main conflict of the movie. This signifies a change from subtext to text and highlights Disney’s growing trust with LGBTQ+ inclusion in family-friendly animation. Ethan Clade, a gay teenager who publicly displays romantic feelings for a younger boy named Diazo, is featured in Strange World. Rather than using subtext “blink-and-y...
