I suggest everyone watch this film as a parable about themselves and see what you get. I watched Tangled today with my kids and must say this movie spoke to me on multiple levels and frankly, I'm a mess (in a good way). I'm sure a big part of my sensitivity right now is due to the way content is filtered through my own life drama... and there has been enough of it as of late to make me hyper sensitive I guess. Read more below...
I see stories like this classic tale as living parables that can reach into our humanity in ways that direct knowledge simply can't. I thought several times of the intuitive power that Rapunzel's story has to draw out deep things within us. Here I was with my three kids holding back the tears multiple times on scenes where everyone else seemed to take it in stride. I'm reminded again of the reason I was first drawn to want to make movies as a 15 year old. More on that some other time.
