I AVOIDED watching Disney's BRAVE for too long...like why so GOOD!! (first time watching)

[@chicade4810]

Regarding the tapestry, those things take a LOOOOOONG time to make. The film showed her mother working on it earlier, she did everything by hand. What Merida did was ruin thousands of hours of careful work by her mother, a very physical representation of that fight ripping apart years of love between them.

23:31 That moment when you realise THIS is what her mother's been training her for. Not just to be a meek and mild lady who does nothing, she's been training her to be a queen, training her to rule her clan alongside her husband just as she's been doing with Fergus. She's been teaching her social skills, public speaking, diction and the history of each of the clans, all things you need when to be a leader.

What I always saw with this scene is. The mother realized that while her daughter was listening, she needs to listen to her daughter, and that's why she comes up with a compromise.

I am a firm believer in the four clans being descended from the four brothers from the old story, with Merida’s clan being descended from Mor’Du himself.

If the brothers formed their own clans with other people, and it's been centuries since that happened, the suitors and Merida wouldn't even be related (or maybe just a really small percentage of shared DNA).

I don't understand why people like to hate on this movie. It may not be up to Pixar's usual standards, but it is in NO WAY a bad film. When I first watched it, I actually teared up. My relationship with my own mother had its difficulties and I could relate to what was shown in the film. I also liked how both parents were present and were shown communicating frequently in a healthy manner. Side note: I know how it feels like to be seen as young. I'm 27 but I get mistaken for a college student all the time. It's annoying but I'm sure I'll be grateful for my good genes later. At least, that's what people tell me all the time.

[@chicade4810]

I remember when the movie first came out, I was excited for an action-adventure movie with what looked like a solo female protag, because that's what the advertising led me to believe. When it was more of an emotional film about a mother and daughter, I was annoyed because my teenaged brain just thought "I've seen this a million times already!!" As an adult looking back at this movie, I see I was way too harsh on it. It's actually a really good movie and it does bring me to tears now. Some people just need some time and perspective 😊💕

[@dslaughter3555]

Same I relate to the mother daughter relationship and seeing her mother become a bear broke my heart when I was younger 😭 Merida just wanted a better relationship with her mother, I understand her fr

[@yc0995]

For me while I related to the dynamic between Merida and her mom, I didn't like what she did, as much as I may bicker with my mom it would never cross my mind to try something that could hurt her or cause her distress. The little mermaid and Turning red dealt with the strict parent dynamic way better. I still think is one of Pixar best movies and a stepping stone for animations in terms of curly hair representation lol, I'm not ginger but I have curly hair like hers and it was really accurate.

[@Theawesomeninja_XD]

Completely agree. I actually cried; I felt this so much.

[@BigGator5]

"I am Merida, firstborn descendant of Clan Dunbroch. And I'LL be shooting FOR MY OWN HAND!" Fun Fact: "The Bear And The Bow" was the original title. Historical Fact: The chess set in Merida's (Kelly Macdonald) room is the famous Lewis Chessmen from the twelfth century, unearthed in Scotland in 1831. Mythology Fact: The name of the evil bear, from the legend told by Queen Elinor (Dame Emma Thompson), is Mor'du. In Gaelic, it would be spelled "Mor Dubh" and means the large black one. Corset Campaign Fact: The scene where Merida's (Kelly Macdonald) dress splits, and reveals her corset, while amusing, is inaccurate given the movie's apparent medieval setting (around the 10th century). Corsets didn't come into fashion until Elizabethan times, approximately 600 years after the movie's apparent setting. Lost In Translation Fact: Kevin McKidd was particularly happy to work on this project because it was the first time in years that he'd been able to use his natural Scottish accent in a movie. The dialect that Young MacGuffin speaks is called Doric. It is spoken in northeastern Scotland, including Kevin McKidd's hometown of Elgin.

10:44 She embarrassed them because she wrote her own rules and stood them all up. No-one of Thi is fair, but Elinor wasn't exaggerating when she said that "it will lead to fire and sword if it's not set right". This kingdom is being held together on an extremely fragile alliance, it was united by enemies but now they have no common enemy to fight and all of the lord have long memories short tempers. They can't afford to insult or offend any of them or give them any reason to declare war.

Plus this means that we know their dads are more focused on the whole betrothal thing than they are.

[@agenttheater5]

24:26 He's speaking Doric - which is an actual dialect in Scotland (the actor who voices him and Lord MacGuffin, Kevin McDonald, has relatives in that area), and here he's saying "it's just nae (not) fair making us fight for the hand of a quain (girl) who does nae (does not) want a bit of it, ya ken (you know)?" I have no idea what the thing he said to the other sons was before they went on a bear hunt, but the first thing he said before the brawl was "If he were a wee bit closer I could lob ma caber at him, ya ken?" lob meaning 'throw' and 'caber' meaning that long piece of wood we saw someone throw at the beginning of the games.

I loved brave sm, it contrasts so much with the other movies of its time, Merida is one of the few who didn’t end up with a man, even if that wasn’t always the rests plan, it ended up being the plot pretty quickly and became an old pattern for princesses. Merida has such a creative plot! Like, a mom who becomes a bear? That’s so fun!! Why can’t more movies be that creative?

[@Doomthepixarkid]

Steve Jobs and Apple helped start Pixar before Disney bought the animation studio. So I think Pixar considers Jobs one of their founders. He had passed during the making of and before the release of this film. Which is why they had that dedication to him in the credits.

[@sunnni_]

My dad always said I was fearless like Merida. I loved this movie when it first came out. Truly seeing the relationship between the mother and daughter now feels like I am looking in a mirror with my mom. But in the end, they are trying to teach us how to be what we are destined to be with love even if it doesn't feel like that sometimes. But the three boys had me stressed because they were always disappearing or doing something bad lol

[@agenttheater5]

You get a like for having bagpipes right at the beginning. I was not expecting that!

Steve Jobs is actually the co-founder of Pixar

[@Emisop]

29:35 He was a partner, mentor, and friend. That's all that's really needed sometimes when a film is dedicated to someone that passed

[@skitterly]

For those who were wondering, the tribute to Steve Jobs is because without him, Pixar probably wouldn’t have gotten off the ground. In the beginning, Pixar only made shorts. They were not financially stable, so they didn’t have the option of making a feature length film. Steve Jobs struck a deal to let them use his capital and technology from Apple to create their first 3 movies. Toy Story was their first major financial success and the rest is history.
