The Genius of Disney's Brother Bear (2003): The Sameness of the Protagonist and the Antagonist

Image
"Brother Bear" (2003) is one of my favourite childhood movies, and since it's not talked about enough, I decided I should discuss some of it. "Brother Bear" (2003) has an immense depth, which can't be summed up in a single article, so I'm going to touch on just one topic here and, depending on the popularity of this post, might add more articles later. "Brother Bear" (2003) is an animated feature by the Walt Disney Company . It tells the story of an Inuit hunter named Kenai, who kills a bear and is magically transformed into a bear as punishment. To change back, he has to reach a faraway mountain, with his only guide being a talkative bear cub Koda, whom Kenai finds annoying. Koda, who has been separated from his mother, needs an adult guardian to protect him from hunters, so he and Kenai (the latter begrudgingly) agree on journeying together.  At a glance, this story seems fit only for children, but, as I said, it is much deeper than it seems...

NEW BOOK! - A Viking x Christian Historical Fiction - Now Available for Pre-order on Kindle!

Hello, guys! 2021 has been a very productive and life-changing year for me. Among many other things, I was finally able to finish the book I've been working on since late 2019 - the Viking x Christian Historical Fiction, " Notes of Oisin: From an Irish Monk to a Skaldic Poet "! Starting today, you can pre-order the ebook on amazon.com! The story retells of a young Irish monk, Oisin, falling as a captive to the Norse raiders, which sets him on a great journey of self-growth and transformation from a boy to a man. It is written in the form of a diary. " Notes of Oisin " belongs to the same series as the book I published in late 2016, " Barbarian ", which, on its part, retold the story of King Alaric I of the Visigoths and the childhood of the Roman centurion Aetius, famous for vanquishing Attila the Hun on the fields of Châlons. This entire series was inspired by the myths and legends of the Germanic peoples, which fascinated me since my young years an...

Why Mulan (1998) is a Masterpiece, while Mulan (2020) is not (And the Importance of Mushu)

I have written a similar article before, about how modern movies for the younger audience do not stick to the initial mythological patterns they were based on and how it affects the overall production, why it is bad, and how it could've been better. Now, I have a whole nother issue to discuss, just like all the other disappointed people who have watched Mulan (2020) and discussed it in their YouTube videos, like the absolutely admirable video essay of Accented Cinema .
