Post 1 Movie origins

For this assignment i chose to do the movie Tangled which is based on the Brothers Grimm tale Rapunzel. It was released on November 10th in 2010 and was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard and written by Dan Fogelman along with help from the original tale written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Nathan Greno is known for his work on the blockbuster hit Frozen along with Meet the Robinsons. Byron Howard is known for his work on the resent film Zootopia along with Bolt and Lilo and Stitch. (IMDb) 

Plot Summary: After receiving the healing powers from a magical flower, the baby Princess Rapunzel is kidnapped from the palace in the middle of the night by Mother Gothel. Mother Gothel knows that the flower's magical powers are now growing within the golden hair of Rapunzel, and to stay young, she must lock Rapunzel in her hidden tower. Rapunzel is now a teenager and her hair has grown to a length of 70-feet. The beautiful Rapunzel has been in the tower her entire life, and she is curious of the outside world. One day, the bandit Flynn Ryder scales the tower and is taken captive by Rapunzel. Rapunzel strikes a deal with the charming thief to act as her guide to travel to the place where the floating lights come from that she has seen every year on her birthday. Rapunzel is about to have the most exciting and magnificent journey of her life. (IMDb) 

Values that Tangled teaches: 

Love- Most importantly love concourse all, near the end of the movie Flynn is stabbed by Mother Gothel. Flynn the cuts Rapunzel's hair and it loses its power and Gothel turns to dust, with the last of her power and her love she sheds a tear that heals Flynn, they then return to the castle and Rapunzel reunites with her mother and father the queen and king. 

Open mindedness- There is a scene where the duo, Flynn and Rapunzel, go into a bar with a bunch of seedy looking characters. Flynn warns Rapunzel that they are not safe and that they should return to the tower but after Rapunzel mentions that she has a dream to see the lanterns the bandit looking characters actually help them to escape when guards come looking for Flynn. It teaches you to not judge a book by its cover.

  

Valuables in Tangled:  

Rapunzel – she values her paints, books, and her chameleon companion Pascal. Though she doesn't own them, she values the lanterns that appear on her birthday from the castle, not knowing they are meant for her. By the end of the movie she values Flynn, whose name is actually Eugene, and her parents. 

Mother Gothel – She values nothing but the flower and the magic it brings, she values the hair on Rapunzel's head more than Rapunzel herself.  

 Flynn Rider – At the start of the movie all he cares about is the tiara and the money he will make off of it. But as the movie progresses he begins to care about Rapunzel more than anything so much that he was about to give up his life for her.
