basically its an emotional reunion of two childhood lovers, they reconnect in the aftermath of a pg battle between their respective people and then suggestively drift to sleep in one another's arms. the camera then zooms onto a bottle and it is revealed that maleficent was drugged and the guy isn't actually asleep. he makes as if to kill her, but wusses out and can't do it. he then looks at her wings and the camera cuts out. she wakes up wingless and cries before turning evil. he uses the wings, instead of her head which the king requested, to claim to the throne. since the entire rest of the movie has themes of betrayal and bitterness and the existence of true love its kind of dumb to imagine that one scene is a rape metaphor, rather than a literal betrayal by a lover that sets up the remainder of the movie. if it is a rape metaphor, why? whats that saying? and what is it doing in a movie that doesnt otherwise reference, explicitly or metaphorically, sexual dynamics or sexual violence or abuse? what is the corresponding meaning when she gets her wings back? how come the rapey nature of the bad guy is never referenced in any other way, whereas the betrayal and his descent into greed and paranoia is a recurring theme? i guess what im saying is im gay

Effectronica posted:alternatively, it's an unintentional implication, which is why it doesn't fit with the rest of the movie. i guess then it doesn't actually exist or whatever. "if you squint your eyes and disregard the plot, themes, and everything else about the movie you can totally see the wing scene as a rape metaphor! better make a bunch of terrible posts about it asap"

Effectronica posted:your posts are built on the assumption that things only exist in the dimensions of metaphor or literal, and that there are no implications, only explicit denotations. the thing that's going for you is a) many people here loathe discussing things beyond a superficial level, b) many people here fear being seen as caring about the wrong things, and c) it's a weird thing to find in a kid's/family movie. if, say, you did this for jennifer's body and argued that it isn't treating the fragile nature of teenage friendships metaphorically, well lol

Effectronica posted:it's pretty funny how much cruft people add on top of "stop thinking about kid's movies" as though they're more convincing when they start widening things to include actual high literature as collateral damage sounds like something a rapist would say tbh
