Tangled - 2010

I liked the beginning, but not at all the ending. This child who was abducted because her magical hair can give youth and health grows up believing the woman who took her is her mother. She stays confined in the tower because her "mother" tells her that the world outside is dangerous. She's very pretty, with long long hair that she uses in many ways, and one day she meets a thief who is running away, and scared she knocks him down with a frying-pan :lol: Then she hides his treasure, and he agrees to help her to get it back. She wants to see a bit of the world, precisely the lights she sees every year from her window. It's very funny how she's conflicted after having gone out the tower. She had promised her "mother" she wouldn't of course, so she feels very guilty but also very excited. It's the funniest scene of the movie, and for once she acts like a real person, with more than just one side.
Then it's the adventure of the two together, that obviously will fall in love, although it is not very fair because he's the only one she knows, so how can she know that's really love? Anyway, Mother Gothel learns about this, and plans to get in the way, to convince her to come back by having her believe that he doesn't care about her, that he only cares for the treasure. I wasn't very fond of all the adventure and the battle, although it is remarkable that Flynn after being deadly hurt thinks of her first, and cuts her long hair to set her free, because once cut the magic is gone. She would have wanted to use her hair to cure him with the magic, she had made a deal with the witch promising to stay with her forever in exchange for the chance to cure him, but he puts her future first and cuts it.
Without the magic, Mother Gothel has the same fate Dorian Gray had: she gains all at once what she had removed with magic, and she dies. Rapunzel doesn't care, she only cries for Flynn, and one of her  tears falls on him curing him... so what, now her tears are magical? Or just that one?
Anyway, what I really didn't like was that at one moment she hugs her "mother" believing her and feeling love for her, but as soon as she learns the truth, that she was actually the princess and that she's not her real mother, in an instant she turns against her totally. I mean, anger is obvious, but she's not confused about what to do. She turns against her completely, without a second thought, never regretting it, and then when all is ended well she goes to meet her real parents welcoming her new life. Just like that. What about all the years she spent loving Mother Gothel, they don't count at all? Don't misunderstand me, of course she has to go back to her real family, because Gothel was the bad one that never truly loved her but only wanted her for her magic, but still, as far as Rapunzel is concerned, she grew up loving her. How can that sentiment go away without the faintest regret, or sadness? She simply goes back, to live happily with her real parents that she has never even seen before, having her happy ending, her true love with the only man she knows, except a few men, bandits she met in a pub along the way. Wow, that's true love for Disney then. Well, it was until Frozen, that is :-)
