I sympathized with both. But that's because their relationship was entirely about a mother and daughter being so different, that it seemed impossible to communicate to each other when it wasn't. AKA, every teenage girl who is wildly different from her mother and not in an abusive or neglectful relationship. It was just put under the lens of 11th century Scotland.

Yes, Merida did a lot of bad things out of pride. But she learned, and that's the point. She grew up and admitted she's not perfect and that this all WAS her fault, and she even united the clans WITHOUT marriage. And Elinor, meanwhile, learned to listen when Merida said she wasn't ready for something and her way of life was entirely valid for a young woman.

They renewed their bond, something that had been wearing away because BOTH of them are stubborn. Yes, when you're a parent, you get some degree of control. But it's still a relationship and goes two ways and sometimes you have to listen to your kid. You don't get to be a damn dictator. Likewise, kids, you don't get to walk all over your parents, and sometimes it seems like things aren't fair when they are--you're just not getting their way. When things aren't fair, then year, you can call your parents on it. Not being allowed to go to a midnight showing of a movie when you have a full day of testing tomorrow is not one of them.
