Brave

 Today I'm going to talk about a movie I watched recently. It's called 'Brave'.  Well in Korea we call it 'Merida and the magic forest'. Brave is about a princess, who doesn't like being a princess. Could you imagine it? You're the all mighty princess and how could you not want to be a princess? Lots of you who at least once dreamed of being a princess wouldn't be able to understand this. Even though my dream is not a princess(considering that I'm a boy), I couldn't understand either. But this movie is not just about some princess  who doesn't want to be a princess, but it's a movie about a princess who wants to change her fate, and the lessons she learns during this process.
  This is where we wonder. 'Change your fate? Is that even possible?'. We can get the answer from the meaning of fate. Fate means something that unavoidably befalls a person. Here we need to focus on the word, unavoidably. It means it's going to come to you what ever you do. Fate is something you can not change. What ever you do it will always come to you, but Merida tries to change her fate. She goes to the witch and asks her to give her something that would change her fate. But that ended up changing her mom into a bear. Her life became more complicated and tangled up after she went to the witch to try and change her fate. Watching this movie, I realized that fate is not just a thing I could change whenever I want. Wouldn't it be horrible if you could foresee the future? You know peoples fate but you can not change it. Fate is something you have to accept,  not something you try to change. If you try changing your fate, you'll just waste your life and accept your fate anyways. Merida at the end accepted her fate and admitted her wrong and was able to change her mother back into a human. I think that changing your fate just brings more tragedy. 
  Admitting our wrong were another part of this movie that we should learn from. As I said before, Merida was able to change her mother back into a human by admitting her wrong. She hugged her mom ( the bear ) and cried, repeating sorry again and again. And then she said 'It's all my fault.' That is how her mom became a normal person again. While watching this scene, I thought about myself. Of course I say sorry after I do something wrong, but when did I ever feel really sorry and admitted my wrong totally? When I was young, when I get punished in school, I would first go like ' It wasn't my fault!' or 'He did it first!' or stuff like that. When I grew older, I changed a bit. When I get punished in school, I just stand there saying nothing and I really regret what I did for at least that moment. After that, I just act like I was never punished. I don't regret what I did anymore and I just erase the thoughts about me getting punished because it might ruin the whole day. When did I ever admit my wrong and regret what I did like Merida? When did I ever feel so sorry I couldn't stop regretting? The last scene made me think of what I did in the past and what I shall do now. If I just admit my wrong and regret it for a long time, I will never make the same mistake again.  
  This movie was very different from all the princess movies I've seen through out my life. The biggest reason is the princess herself. She doesn't have calm blond hair like any princess movies, but she has red curly hair. You would not know she was a princess if you just saw her alone in the woods, carrying a bow.  For my conclusion, I just want to say that this movie was very inetresting and fun. It is fun to watch the exciting story lines, but it is also fun to trying to find out and learn the lessons that the movie is secretly telling you.
