Okay, let’s talk about the movie “Cruella.” I started this whole thing by watching the movie, you know, just a regular movie night. But I got really hooked on the main character, Cruella. I mean, who doesn’t love a good villain origin story, right?
So, I started digging into it. I needed to understand what made Cruella tick, what turned her from this seemingly normal girl, Estella, into the fashion icon/villain we all know. First, I rewatched the movie a couple of times, focusing on those little moments, you know, the dialogues, the scenes where her personality really shines through. It was pretty interesting, I’ve got to say.
Then I started gathering information. I read a bunch of articles online, some talking about the psychological aspects of her transformation, some focusing on the character development. It was like putting together a puzzle. I jotted down all these notes, trying to map out her journey. I focused a lot on how her personality developed throughout the film. A lot of it seemed to center around this idea of “persona” and “shadow,” which, from what I gathered, are these psychological concepts about the parts of ourselves we show the world and the parts we keep hidden.
I also found this idea that the movie plays with our emotions. Like, you start feeling sorry for Cruella as you learn more about her past. I definitely felt that. It’s like the filmmakers are pulling strings, making us empathize with this character who’s supposed to be the bad guy. Clever, right?
- Watched the movie multiple times: Not just for fun, but to really study Cruella’s character.
- Gathered information: Articles, analyses, anything I could find about the movie and the character.
- Focused on persona and shadow: These concepts seemed important in understanding her transformation.
- Noticed the emotional manipulation: The movie really makes you feel for Cruella, which is interesting.
In the end, I realized that Cruella’s story is way more complex than it seems at first. It is about ambition, morality, and all that good stuff. There is also this whole thing about her being narcissistic, which makes sense when you think about her love for fashion and her need for attention. I think it came from some deep-seated issues, but still. And you know what? The movie kind of makes her a pop culture icon, a symbol of greed and vanity, but also someone with a messed-up past. It is one of those movies that sticks with you, and you keep thinking about it long after the credits roll.
Then, I started to realize something, the movie makes a bad guy to be a good guy! Like she is suffering from multiple personality disorder! And the messages behind this movie are not good, like if you put others before yourself, you won’t achieve anything. I guess it is better for adults.
Anyway, that’s my deep dive into “Cruella.” Hope you guys find it as fascinating as I did!
