Maleficent (so nice I saw it twice)

Disney has done it again! I started off my Sunday funday with a movie date. My sister and I have been waiting for weeks to see this movie. It was definitely worth the wait. Not to sound cheesy but it's truly a movie "the whole family will love". It has all the cinematic wonders to satisfy the children, with topics adults or anyone of any age could relate to. To give you a little info about the move,  Maleficent is the back story of the evil fairy from The sleeping beauty. The reasoning for the dreaded curse maleficent put on princess aurora. That part was only a small tidbit of the movie. The rest of it was a creative tale about maleficent growing up into this evil fairy everyone feared. You are immediately drawn into the plot. I love how they incorporated her crow, stick, and everything else. Ugh, it was just great. I am trying not to give anything away. But I just want to tell everyone what happened! It was soooooo good! and the reasons behind why she did what she did.


Angelina Jolie is a BOSS! Let me just start off with that. She is amazingly talented. I am so happy she a part of this picture, I do not think it would have been as epic otherwise. There was one specific part where she shows such raw emotion it made me cry. Through her we were able to see a three dimensional villain that is simply misunderstood. I felt sympathy for a character I've always hated.I love when Disney takes one of the originals and switches it up a bit. It's like I saw a whole new story today.


It was just a good day and time to see a movie. It was also so cute seeing all the dads and their daughters, there were so many, and I don't think any of the fathers fell asleep either. I would highly HIGHLY recommend everyone go see it, you wont be disappointed. I walked away learning a few important lessons. The first being how easy it is to lose yourself through revenge and hate. And second true love comes in many different forms, not just between you and your spouse. It could be you and a friend or a family member. These were just a few.


And to top it all off the final song playing during the credits was Once upon a dream by Lana Del Rey. If you know me you would know just how obsessed I am with Lana del Rey. This is one of my favorite Disney songs, sung by my favorite artist, the perfect present to my ears. Listen for yourself and try not to fall in love.
