sanalithYes, yes, I know I'm late, but I generally always am so deal with it! =P
This afternoon,caithion and I went to the dollar theatre to see Enchanted, and now I can finally say that I know what all the hype was about!
Honestly, I don't think I've laughed that hard at a movie in a looooong time! It was just such a wonderful parody! Without a doubt, my two favorite scenes were the "working song," because you can't beat cockroaches and pigeons cleaning a NYC apartment, and Giselle's dancing and singing in Central Park, explaining how you know when someone loves you. I felt an almost instant connection with Giselle when she came to NY...it's not normal to have a "happily ever after" mentality in our world, and seeing that represented in her was just so wonderful! It made me feel like it was all right for me to keep my own dreams of romance and fairytales alive (as long as I didn't randomly break into song while doing it!) Of course, the songs are going to be stuck in my head for days on end now >.>
All I can say, really, is that it's the first time in a long time that I found cliches to work so well. I could predict almost the entire plot, but that was the entire point! That's what made it so spectacular! And I loved that Nancy ended up with Prince Edward at the end. Her kiss was just awesome. I definitely need to get my mom to watch this. She'd fall in love!
Oh, and the cutting of the curtains and bed sheets to make Giselle's dresses? Completely priceless!
And I am vindicated!! I knew I recognized Nathaniel from somewhere else! Hello Wormtail!!
