that's how you know...
i got *enchanted* last night, right after my last paper :)
a
And here's pieces of my thoughts after being magically dusted by princess gisele. (read 1,2 & 5 only if you intend to watch it and would not like me to spoil the story).
a
#1 Some girly thoughts to mull over :
...Amy Adam is simply irresistable as a princess dropped out of the happily-ever-after cartoon world. I like her...
--simple girly wishes
--do u truly believe prince edward will come for u?"; "yes", hands clasp hopefully
a--her dresses made by squirrels and doves are simply lovely
--btw,curtain make great clothes too!

#2 why you should get enchanted by it this season :
a...cutest expression ever seen
...she's cute when she cries or is mad. btw, she plays with crockcoaches & rats too :p
a
...fantastic choreographing
...somehow reminded me of bollywood
a
...Adam's lovely vocals.
...critics has compared her character to Julie Andrews in children's movie. she doesn't just sing, every word's shimmered by her sweet longings.
a
...you get to laugh silly-ly at how cartoon characters come into the real world unarmed with worldly knowledge
a#3 the best part of the movie was :
a...a little girl happily swiping Robert's emergency card :p
...all Gisele did was sing and all creation woke up to her call...
a#4 lessons and insights
a... I can relate to Robert's skepticism in the faithfulness of fairy tales, perhaps due to his wife leaving both him and his daughter. I guess the incident was like shattering a perfect mirror which he had always stared into and introducing the fear of uncertainty when he looked into the future . I like Gisele's innocent faith in the one true-love-kiss and then it's happily ever after after that (if only)... I sometimes wonder true-love-last exist in fairy tales only? (true-love-last seems like the 2nd episode to true-love-waits hur?)
a
... It's nice seeing how both Gisele and Robert were learning from each other. Gisele's innocence transcended into Robert's practicalism; and Gisele was discovering what it meant to be sharing real things.
a
... When confronted with ideal or real, real prevails ! In some ways, we find ourselves relating/ connecting better to people who are sincere & unguarded compare to people who's working too hard to be perfect....it feels more accepted being around them too !
a
#5 additional loves
a... the fonts for the cast was grown with creepers
... pop-out book illustrations at the end.
a#6 wish it could have been :
a
... i wish Robert didn't have a fiancee.
...What's the msg behind dropping his 5-yr girlfriend for a prettier girl? Are men that fickle?
a
...the ending was like a quick put up just to end the show
...Well, it was an interesting twist that in the end Gisele rescued her true love fearlessly (instead of the traditional narration of a prince rescueing a damsel in distress), but the seperation was too short (and crap) for an adventure. I'd rather Queen Narissa snatched Gisele back into the fairy-tale land and Robert jumping into the cartoon world to rescue her instead :P
