Brave Movie, Cymplified!

February 26, 2013 by ceemee

This movie had touched something deep inside me. Mainly because it’s about the relationship of a mother and a daughter. I can empathize with the way Elinor felt after Merida stormed out of the room when they were fighting.

Like Elinor, I treat Elle harshly when in anger, one too many times. πŸ™
Like Elinor, I regret what I did, regret how the situation got out of hand, regret how nothing was resolved.
Like Elinor, I cry, consumed with guilt and worry.

Brave movie is a reminder for me that communication is very vital in my relationship with my children. In any relationship, actually. I wouldn’t want to turn into a bear before realizing that!

I get that Elinor wants to guide Merida into her role and responsibility as a princess whom their clan looks up to. But, the way she was doing it made Merida feel suffocated. It’s like the mum was fitting her daughter into a mold where Merida doesn’t belong, the mold that is Elinor. Thus, a power struggle that I am familiar with ensued.

Let Brave movie be an example for me to:

  • Cherish the happy and playful times with each of my children, especially now while they are little.
  • Gently and firmly guide them to be responsible, caring and God-fearing (I sure need God’s help with this!)
  • Keep communication lines with them open, explaining why certain rules need to be followed
  • Encourage their talents, accept that their dreams are different from mine
  • Let not pride get into the way when we disagree so the bond will not be broken

 

Fate be changed, look inside.
Mend the bond, torn by pride.

    I was looking forward for that movie after I watched the trailer, I was anticipating it would be like Mulan (girl power and all). However, I was surprised coz the movie is more than that, the movie is about mother and daughter. In short, I ended up crying (well, i easily get teary anyway). The movie is great, eye-opener both for mothers and for daughters. if mulan is my favorite cartoon when i was still single then brave is my fave now i’m a mother. πŸ™‚

    I have yet to see the movie but I know that I will love it too. I didn’t have a perfect relationship with my mom growing up (we’re not, like, bestfriends) but we do have a pretty stable relationship. I think that there should be more movies like this, they teach both kids and parents something πŸ™‚

    My daughter loved this movie. We’ve watched it countless times since I downloaded it. There are a lot of lessons there for mothers and daughters that will help build a strong bond.

    Hi there! Nice post, really. My husband and I have watched the movie already too. It’s a nice movie about mother and daughter. And though I don’t have a daughter (I have a one year old son by the way), I can still somewhat relate to it because I know in the future, especially when my little boy is on his teens already, I’m sure in one way or another, we’ll deal with communication issues, although I certainly hope not! I would want to teach my son open communication as early as now. πŸ™‚
