Rachel Zeglers Spellbound HATES Families

[@disparutoo]

Rachel Zegler has been followed by scandal and controversy across her career, but for once this isn't her fault. Spellbound itself is the one causing the problem here due to it's messaging that it decides to inflict on parents. What's worse is the story uses this theme as a "twist" so that it's too late for parents to realise what it's about until they've already watched most of it and the kids have found out too. But it's not just that they're teaching children that divorce is actually good and beneficial, but that they think it's a beautiful story that everyone should learn about as children. Rather than trying to discourage this, they're encouraging it. This is not the point of fairy tales, and it's wrong to try and subvert them in this way. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

[@MisterMonsieur]

Same. Where did this come from? Not a single word of this movie until now.

[@sianais]

UP. That's a Disney/Pixar movie that handled adult themes very well. But they didn’t celebrate them. They viewed them as the losses they were. A couple who had to come to terms with not having children. A man who had to mourn the only family he had. A boy grieving the loss of his absentee father (Russell's dad had a girlfriend and didn’t have time for him.) But the movie didn’t bash you over the head with it and push the idea a "child free" life is a blessing or Russell doesn't need a father in his life. These two characters missing the bits in their life reflected in each other made do and filled those holes as best they could. Movies geared towards children that handle harsh realities exist. It's just that when adults make them, they don't delude the child or themselves that brokenness is a good thing.

[@Fleshbag453]

All of that and Carl ended up being the father figured Russell needed, they found what they both wanted in each other and that's a beautiful thing. These days, these spiteful women want everyone to think that men are irrelevant and unnecessary. It's disgusting.

I should have reviewed it first, divorce should not be normalized!

[@eddiebendigo7317]

People really out there letting their kids watch anything from Hollyweird without seeing it first

[@MrNickPresley]

Mrs. Doubtfire, a movie that came out 31 years ago, handled the subject of divorce with more tact than this movie did. _"Oh, my dear Katie. You know, some parents, when they're angry, they get along much better when they don't live together. They don't fight all the time, and they can become better people, and much better mummies and daddies for you. And sometimes they get back together. And sometimes they don't, dear. And if they don't, don't blame yourself. Just because they don't love each other anymore, doesn't mean that they don't love you_ ." Kids aren't stupid, they don't want to be talked down to, and they deserve to be given entertainment that reflects that. Funny, I remember that Robin Williams's character said something similar in Mrs. Doubtfire.

Watching my parents go through divorce and separation made me understand how ugly it is and the psychological effects it can have on the children that are involved if so. My wife also comes from split parents, so we both have negative feelings about divorce. Luckily we both feel like we met our match and have no desire to separate 15 years later with 2 children. We hope our example of a good marriage will encourage them to seek a lifelong relationship and marriage as well. I don't believe encouraging happiness through divorce as the way to go, as far as messaging to kids in movies.

Divorce is not a good thing, and it never will be. It is something that happens and it’s okay to teach kids how to cope with it, because that’s what divorce is. It’s something that you cope with, not celebrate. I mean that’s like making a fairy tale about how wonderful it is when a friend moves away or when a pet dies. Cause do you know what a divorce basically is? It’s two people breaking a vow to love each other always, it’s finding out that you don’t love someone anymore or that you never did, and that is heartbreaking. It’s one thing to teach children to accept something like this but brainwashing them into thinking it’s a good thing? That’s sick!

[@lauraw2526]

They do reunite as a family, just not with the parents as a couple. The message is about acceptance, and not being afraid of change or losing your parent's love. I don't think it glorifies divorce as some claim.

[@MamaMOB]

​@@lauraw2526everything you just said glorifies divorce. It says it's not a bad thing when it is. Even when it goes the best it is still a bad thing for the child. You're literally putting lipstick on a pig and calling it a beautiful woman. Stop that.

[@kirsch-pf6jx]

as a child of divorce I don’t know what is there to glorify. Unless you are in an ab*sive relationship ofc. My mom left me and my (step) dad because she wanted to relive her 20’s since she got me early on. It was hard on my dad and me. I don’t know what is wrong with Hollywood nowadays

[@ozi618]

We'd better just ignore her.

[@nithurlut]

The way, the expression, the tone she says "the world *needs* this joyful movie" 😭

[@Hachaimenesch]

yes, this is comedy gold 😂😂😂 she is having great success as a sit-down comedian

[@jendoe9436]

Yeah nothing more joyful than seeing a child watch her parents split apart from each other and have to juggle the issues that come with sharing time between the two for the rest of her life. JoYfUl!

[@wintersong6107]

It sounds like someone was holding a gun to her behind the camera

[@marcoschines1]

Thirty-one years ago, the movie "Ms. Doubtfire" dealt with the same questions and didn't need to normalize divorce to do it. It's the diference between tell a story and preach a message.

[@mirzasharamova-if7qq]

You're incredible, don't stop creating videos!

[@Ancientreapers]

6:19 It's a 212 year old classic published in 1812 by the Brothers Gimm. It was 125 when Walt Disney got his hands on it. At least Walt kept fairly true to the original.

[@HonkHonkler]

And of course glorifying divorce. And then women wonder why men are just done with them or taking them serious lol.

[@MemoristCed]

Because of propaganda from the wealthiest elite that holds ordinary happiness in contempt? You'd think a man would understand why that's a dumb reason to tar half of the human population.

[@HonkHonkler]

@@MemoristCed Not when half the population tends to largely accept said message (or at least DID for the past few decades and I do mean DECADES, not just decade) vs. the other half that has always more anti-establishment or harder to advertise too... Just saying.

[@MemoristCed]

@@HonkHonkler All right, I agree that YOU should definitely stay away from women as much as you possibly can. You should probably try to avoid other men, too, just in case they aren't anti-establishment. Just saying.

[@Xbalanque84]

​@@MemoristCed It's been trickling down culturally for decades. And now we are on the verge of collapse.

[@theequalizer9154]

Glorifying divorce? Glorifying what exactly about divorce? That a man will get fleeced for half his property he worked hard for, half his bank account, and has to seek his own home, again? That's an uplifting Victory movie? Children's parents separated, and that's an uplifting movie? Enough.

[@stygianink1821]

As a child who went through a divorce with my parents when I was too young to understand it, and now with lasting trauma as an adult - To hell with the people who made this movie. It is NOT empowering, it is NOT beautiful, it is NOT a "feel good" story. I've had it with woke women thinking they get to tell MY story and say that it EMPOWERS me. No, it CRIPPLED me and I am still dealing with the trauma to this day. There is absolutely NOTHING beautiful about divorce, or the lasting impact that it leaves on children. FOR. SHAME.

[@Sarcastic_Sophist]

My parents divorced when I was a baby and I never had any memories of them together. It often sucked having to pack all my stuff and move between houses each week. My dad making passive aggressive complaints about my mom when I came back in the wrong clothes. The confusion around the holidays alone was a nightmare. I don't know why people would want to depict divorce as something beautiful. The best I'd give it is at best a sad turning of the page to a new chapter in life.

[@kos2919]

Remember single divorced women trying to make married women to get divorced because misery loves company? This is just like that but on global scale.

[@Grace-pu9je]

Nothing about the actual story... Just the feeling we should have watching it. Selling a nightmare as a fairy tale. I'm wary of anything she stares in as it's usually not good.

[@Xbalanque84]

Astroturfing total moral inversion.

[@Chet_Manly]

Mrs Doubtfire did the divorce story pretty well

[@NiciNeko]

As one who has grown up as a child of an "amicable" divorce I can tell everyone that even if your parents can communicate without trouble its NOT a pleasant experience. I grew up in what I refer to as a cold war, my parents communicated and was kind to each other, but underneath there were always tensions. Its not fun having two birthdays or two Christmases', yeah yeah the presents are nice, but the one thing I always wanted was for my parents to be together, to celebrate together and to not live hours apart. Everyone is always quick to say: "Well, isn't it better than your parents fighting all the time?" Yes, of course its better but it still hurts like h***. It still ruins the family that should be showing the child what a family can be and should be in the ideal situation... Its not "fun" or "normal", its not a "fairytale" - its a harsh reality that children deal with every day and this is so wrong. We dont want to normalize the hurt children feel when their parents get a divorce. Its not something that children rejoice about! I dont know who thought of this, but if I had gone to see this with my small cousins I would be so angry - I dont want them to experience just a fraction of a divorce... Divorce is messy, ugly and its hurting everyone involved especially the children.

[@mauvibauer1828]

I’m so tired of not only Rachel but the entire “Messaging” platform Hollywood. I’m only surprised it’s not about the breakup of a gay couple.

[@gummboote]

In a movie about a gay couple they'd get back together at the end. They might have both got new partners and would all get together as a foursome.

[@jacobthesaiyan1090]

its not just that but the movie destroys its own message. it talks about working together and being their for each other only for the parents not to be able to cooperate at the end of the movie

[@kipolem53]

I heard it doesn't even have good songs although I have to say it is weird for Zegler to sing about her parents being monsters considering how she turned out.

[@grandemage]

Yeah… this movie is pretty much the solidification of my thoughts on how out of touch with reality Hollywood is (and likely how parents should review content before letting their kids watch garbage like this). Such a delicate topic to break to children, but nah, just Disney’efy it and normalize what most kids would consider tragic loss and pain, stuck between two parents who don’t love each other anymore.

[@Muna-Jlore0997]

I saw spellbound on Netflix, I didn’t watch it - I just pressed an immediate dislike button.

[@veeclash4157]

Of course the woman who called Prince Charming a creepy stalker would also be in a movie promoting divorces. Zegler is the lowest form of Liberal self-righteous activist. All her movies have flopped and I don't think that's going to change because of her 'sparkling personality'.

[@colorin81colorado]

My parents divorced after 21 years of marriage when I was 17 years old and yet I have been married for just over 35 years... So their divorce did not stopped me from having a happy marriage but I'm still hurting for the failure my parents experienced... I do not wish it on anyone and certainly no child should have to be exposed to it! Shame on Rachel Zedgler, the director and the makers of Spellbound!

[@ijbsee4561]

Had a sibling watch it and he straight up told me that it was nothing but garbage. I also love how some people defend Rachel saying she isn't a narcissist but in all reality she is straight up the definition of one. It's comical that anyone would defend her.

[@annatardlordofderps9181]

Its beyond typical for Hollywood to take something virtuous and heroic like putting the wellbeing of your children ahead of your own childishness and narcissistic bickering with the person you avowed you 'cherished' and 'loved' "through sickness and health" and "until *death* do you part". Nah. That sounds like work. Just call it quits.

[@draxrdax7321]

What's next. Hollywood? A movie about the joys of abortion? I am expecting it

[@KB8Killa]

They are frothing at the mouth trying to put a positive spin on that in Their new movie

[@EuniceRyan-yw1mr]

This deserves way more views!

[@MichaelBTryn]

As someone with divorced parents, now twice... Yeah, not better mentally per say.

[@unlimitedrabbit]

Rachel Zegler's reflection is very much inspired by the message of Spellbound.

[@Zinnia1234]

In the very definition of fairytale, divorce is nowhere to be found. And the fact that they’re pushing it, pushing divorce, shows how little respect they have for the nuclear family.

[@phil4986]

0:51 watching a person so depressed and angry they want to kill people, tell me about how the world needs this joy, is so perfect. Her delivery is like getting glass slivers up your fingernails. She is like Zegler ,only older and far more bitter. Reusing that meme, over and over, was perfection.

[@Xbalanque84]

Demonic possession is real. Surprised she wasn't spinning her head and vomiting.

[@Xbalanque84]

Demonic possession is real.

[@drakocarrion]

If I were going to show a kid a movie about divorce, it'd be Mrs. Doubtfire. It definitely wouldn't be this.

[@TheDavidPoole]

This is no kids movie - it's for adults who want to feel better about their poor life decisions. When I was a kid in the late 60s, 70s, I made up my mind that I'd never marry a child of a divorcée. I'm not religious, but even then I could see that divorce leads to a mindset of failure and giving up.

[@zacharyboudreau9127]

Divorce hurts children more than the death of a parent. It’s evil, selfish ; horrible!

[@belongaskip]

What a stupid thing to say.

[@SINGHDASLAYA]

We've been leading up to moments like this since F eminism became "normalised". Divorce is evil especially when it has overwhelmingly destroyed everyone involved. The children become broken, the mothers become worse people and the fathers get Divorce graped and unspawn themselves at record rates because of this.

[@Nikkles5247]

I heard a quote say that “All happy families are alike; all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.” How many ways are in Spellbound I wonder?

[@Dorian_Scott]

Literally never knew this movie existed.

[@420Pugilist]

So a story ending in divorce is considered a "fairytale”. This is legit evil.

[@lindawebb5379]

I think the point of the movie is that an unhappy marriage is actually harder on a child than divorce is. I know from experience; my parents' divorce was THE BEST thing that ever happened to me. It changed my life forever. I prayed for it for 14 years. If only they had done it sooner. 😢 However, I still agree that this is kind of a silly idea for a movie! 😄 They really have run out of ideas in Hollywood. Now they prob just tear a page out of an old Mad Libs! 😆

[@Trisjack20]

I think it just sits better maybe as something aimed at adults and going for thought provoking rather than sing and dance. Appreciate your reasonably worded comment.

[@TurinStark5]

It’s different for every family and kids. I wouldn’t generalise it like that

[@encycl07pedia-]

"No wonder there's [sic] some people trying to eradicate intolerance and hate. Because they deserve it!" That's a great quote. 11:24

No matter what spin we try to put on it, no matter how justified or necessary a divorce may be, it is ALWAYS a failure that we must address in our lives...

While not divorced, her eyes are separated. They share custody of the tiny walnut between them.

2:15 got to love the micro-expression that gives away that she's talking ****. Got to love biology :)

[@joellezima3506]

So, what bothers me about this is it’s just proof that society is trying to normalize divorce. The entire point of marriage is that you do everything you can to work through fights, life events, hard times as a team even when it’s hard. This movie’s message is, “give up, it’s ok it better to separate than it is to go through hard times and feel bad”. And if marriages can’t last due to fighting, then what can?

[@lucifer-librarian9562]

Wanna know something funny. In all the trailers I saw you couldn't see that the parents were arguing. They seemed to get along just fine, wonder why they decided to leave such an important part out of the trailers

[@Darkcheese22]

"Daddy, is mommy a w***e" fucking killed me 😂

[@rachelwalsh3575]

For most kids that happy ending is a false promise and it would not be beneficial for any child to have their varied and many emotions around divorce to be ignored and manipulated with the hope of a fairytale ending! Kids going through separation and divorce should be heard and listened to appropriately and this is not it.

[@miken3963]

Jesus tapdancing Christ, what's wrong with those people... My 5 year old burst into tears after I explained the concept of divorce to her, that some kids have parents that don't live together anymore. And then spent the next 2 days asking if me and her mom still love one another. Who is this abortion of a movie even aimed at?!

[@GrindinRyan]

Probably the miserable, selfish cows who destroyed their own relationships and marriages so they could get banged by strangers on Tinder. I.e. the writers

[@PersephoneVariety]

I saw this movie with my parents. And I got the message of the movie well before they did. Amd then when I said, "This movie is normalizing divorce," they shook their heads because they didn’t see it. Then, at the end of the film, they realized I was right... I was appalled at this movies messaging. It could've been a good movie, had it not been a boring message, and the main character had a song basically "poor me" the whole damn time. I had no sympathy for her, and once I realized the theme, no sympathy for the parents either.

[@highonanime6726]

Does anyone remember a cartoon called the cramp twins. Where a kid had to keep moving between his divorced parents, and one of the main characters thought that meant he got double the presents for his birthday. So he tried to spilt his parents up. Until that kid tells him just how *miserable* that kind of life was?
