Brave Response essay

After I watched the movie "Brave" I thought it was kind of boring. The movie went like this: There was a princess named Merida. She liked shooting arrows. One day it was time for her to marry someone, so to stop the marriage  Merida accidently changed her mom into a bear. Then Merida went to the witch who gave Merida the spell. Merida learned how to change her mom back to a person. She tried everything , then at last, she changed her  mom back to the queen.




Why I thought that this movie was not fun is because the movie is too predictable. After the queen changes into a bar you can predict that the girl will do anything to changer her back to the queen. I think it would be better if the queen becomes a real bear and attacks a lot of people so there's only one choice for Merida: Shoot the bear. And after the bear dies the queen will be a live again. I think that complicated movies are more fun because you can "get into the movie more". And I think that if the title is "Brave" There should be more scarier things in it.

If  I was the movie maker I would put wars between clans. Then Merida use a spell to make her mother turn into a bear. But when the bear kills innocent people, Merida tries to stop it by putting the spell to herself and gets buried alive. And after 500  years people will find her and by scientific technology she can go back in time to the age when they had war, then stop the war.And live happily ever after. I think that will be a better ending than just making her mom turn back into a human.

I think the part when the evil beaqr dies is also kind of weird, because the moment was kind of short . I wanted it to see things like the spirit coming out and warning about more evil to come in the year after in the next movie. In addition, I think that the "changing fate" part is too dramatic for a children's movie.

In conclusion I think this movie is not really bad but I think it is too predictable and boring. I wish the next movie can be fascinating and not boring.  Thank you.

  1. I was very surprised to read your brave essay. You read many fantasy novels and that is why I guess you are saying that 'if I were a movie maker,....' . I think you are building your critical attitude. Thank you for giving me a chance to see your great improvement!

  3. Samuel,

    This is a well-organized essay. You gave your opinions and supported them with examples from the movie. The conclusion is a little short though, try to summarize the main idea of each paragraph in your conclusion next time.
