A response essay about a movie 'Brave'


I watched a movie named 'Brave' during the self-study period. A girl named Merida, her mom Elinor, her dad, a witch, and many other people appear in this movie. I'm going to write my feeling after watching this movie.

Merida becomes a princess because his dad fought against a huge bear. But Merida is not very happy. She wants to live freely, but Elinor regulates her a lot and wants Merida to act live a real princess. Once, they fight because of Merida's marriage. Merida cut a cotton drawn her family, and Elinor burns her bow. Merida runs away from the castle. She unexpectedly finds a witch's house and gets some cake that can change her mother and change her fate. She comes back to home and makes her mom eat the cake. Then her mom changes into a bear. Merida was very nervous because she didn't intend to change her mom into a bear. Her dad wants to catch Elinor because she is a bear, so Merida and Elinor get out of the castle.

Merida and Elinor find the witch's house again, but there is no witch and only a sentence that the witch left. They listens it, but they can't understand what it means and become disappointed. But in the next morning, Merida finally understands its meaning. It said that they have to connect the cotton and put it on Elinor's body. So they come back to the castle to find the cotton ,return Elinor into a human, and solve the problem.

But the way they solve the problem isn't easy. They success to go into the castle, but unfortunately Elinor is found by a person, and she is chased by her husband and other people. Merida notices that her mom is in danger and looks for her. Elinor is caught by her husband, ahd he wants to kill her. Luckily, Merida finds Elinor and stands in front of Elinor to block her dad to kill Elinor. But the real bear which fought with her dad in the past comes to them and Merida runs into danger. Elinor fights against the bear to rescue Elinor. She successes it, and Merida puts the cotton on Elinor's body. But she doesn't change into a human again. Elinor becomes very sad and starts crying. Then Elinor returns into a human narrowly before the next sunrise. They learn their love again and become happy again. I think it was impressive.

The lesson of this movie is that we should change our fate ourselves, not by other people, and we should have a sense of responsibility when we do something. I think this movie was a little childish and boring. Its characters and substance was childish, and the conclusion was predictable. Anyway, I was happy that I could watch the movie during the self-study period and didn't have to study.
