I love all different kinds of heroines, but what I REALLY appreciate about Brave was not the characterizatin of Merida, but rather the characterization of Elinor. Elinior wasn't villaified even though she conformed to gender norms. The movie really was about two different kinds of women learning to understand and appreciate each other and THAT'S why it was a ground breaking movie to me. It wasn't saying that one kind of woman is better than another. It was just saying that there are different kinds of ways to be women and we should be understanding of each other.

Also I just loved that the mother/daughter relationship was at the center of the movie which isn't something you really see in movies that are not marketed specifically to women.

DA

Yes, this completely. The best thing about the movie, for me, was the fact that both choices – to be traditionally feminine and to be not traditionally feminine – were both seen as empowering and valid. Also, that power could and can be found in traditionally female roles like Elinor's.

Elinor kicked ass without having to actually kick ass, man. That is awesome. (I love the other kind of ass-kicking strong woman too, obvs, but I get concerned by how often I see people thinking of strong women only in terms of physical feats).

It would have been really cool if they'd given even a single frame of a hint of that in the previews. :P

Accurate trailers have never exactly been Pixar's strong suit.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-04 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
although to be fair, pixar movies take a crapload of work and processing, so when they have to send the trailers out a lot of the movie is probably still rendering or compliling or w/e. i am not up on the terminology. :)
