When Box Offices movies dominate the movie with the theme of Science Fiction, Walt DIsney
consistently produces imaginative, fairy tale and fantasy films. Frozen film is successfully increases
the row of film produced by Disney such as Cinderella, Aurora, Little Mermaid, Snow White and other
films. And Disney re-produces the latest movie Maleficent.
Maleficent is the character of the classic story, Sleeping Beauty which was filmed for the first time in
1959. Most kids probably already knew the fairy tale called The Sleeping Beauty. A daughter named
Aurora who was then cursed by the evil witch would fall asleep forever at the age of 16 years, the
curse would be gone by the kiss of true love. This wicked witch named Maleficent who later becomes
the main character in this movie.
Great credit to the director, Robert Stromberg, who greatly gives a new color in the world of cinema.
Surely this is a new thing for Disney films over the years. The main characters are superbly appointed
by Disney and the title of the film is usually the protagonist loved by the audience which makes it all
become iconic and remembered for all time. While antagonist which usually is an evil witch will only
be known as a witch alone, the audience may not remember what the name of the witch or maybe
even not want to know. But this time, Disney seems to want to make all the characters in a fairy tale
known.

from the royal castle. The fairys name was Maleficent who lived happily with magical creatures in the
forest. Despite not having a father and mother, Maleficent was never lonely in the forest. a beautiful
face with extraordinary magical powers give more perfectness with her kindness. While her great
wings increasingly provide unparalleled strength. The wing was also the symbol of her power.
Maleficent grew into a protector of Moors and always kept the peace there. One day, a little boy
named Stefan tried to get into the Moors and stole a diamond. Such actions were known by
Maleficent from gatekeeper, until finally he was asked the diamonds back. The meeting, which then
developed Maleficents love.
But Maleficents love was rewarded with betrayal from Stefan who had an ambition to claim the throne
of King Henrys successor. Stephen went to Maleficent to the Moors. By pretending a kind act, he
managed to fool Maleficent to fall asleep and killed her. Because he did not have the heart, Stefan
took Maleficents wing and presented it to King Henry. Stefan then was appointed as a king and
married Henrys Princess. Stefan happiness was contrasted with Maleficent who suffered pain from
the loss of her wings. But soon, Maleficent came back up and restored her strength even without her
magnitude wings. But she was no longer Maleficent once. Now vengeance and hurt took her and
gloom overshadowed Moors.

Maleficents revenge increasingly rampant when Stefans wife gave birth to a daughter named Aurora.
On the day of Auroras baptism, Maleficent came and cursed the baby. Like the original manuscript,
given Maleficents curse was at the age of 16 years, Princess Aurora would get stabbed a spinning
machine and fall asleep forever. It would only be awakened by the kiss of true love. That the true kiss
did not come from Prince Philip, but Maleficent
Maleficent is able to show the other side of the antagonist who was used to be a Public Enemy.
Maleficent is not necessarily an evil without cause, Stefans greed becomes the beginning of the
change to be so. Stefans ambition blinded him tp become king. While the witch figures are usually
hated and feared by children, it would be different after watching Maleficent. Angelina Jolie who depict
beautiful graceful and kind-hearted witch might break it. Maleficent character might become iconic as
well and will be remembered.
Overall, this movie is very interesting to watch, the film is wrapped fantasy with romance, betrayal,
revenge, and in the end, love makes life back happily.
