Maleficent	comment	Maleficent is a live-action Perspective Flip adaptation of the Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty that reveals the origin story of its iconic villainess Maleficent (Angelina Jolie), directed by Robert Stromberg and written by Linda Woolverton (of Beauty and the Beast fame).Maleficent, it seems, was once a good, beautiful fairy princess who lived in peace until her kingdom, the Moors, was attacked by humans. She stands up against them and protects her land until a betrayal breaks her heart and turns her into the Mistress of All Evil. She gears up for revenge against the culprit, the invading king's successor Stefan (Sharlto Copley), which culminates in her cursing his newborn daughter Aurora (Elle Fanning). As the princess grows up, though, Maleficent begins to rethink her actions...The film was released on May 30, 2014. The first trailer was released on the film's Facebook page on November 13, 2013. The second trailer premiered during the Grammy Awards on Jan 27th, 2014, introducing the film's haunting rendition of "Once Upon a Dream" by Lana Del Rey. A sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, was released in October 2019.Dynamite Comics published a seperate Comic Book series also called Maleficent as part of their Disney Villains line.There are unmarked spoilers to follow on this page, so tread carefully.

Maleficent / int_1086f287	type	Sure, Let's Go with That
Maleficent / int_1086f287	comment	Sure, Let's Go with That: Aurora mistakes Maleficent for her Fairy Godmother. Despite being initially a bit put out by the idea, Maleficent apparently just rolls with it, since Aurora's still calling her that years later. The reason Maleficent walks with a cane is that after having her wings cut off, her whole center of gravity was thrown off so she needed something to remain level. Plus it was a major injury. Injuries like that do cripple enough that you need a cane for support. The King before Stefan took over wanted to personally challenge Maleficent and the moors. Does he get to show off his badassery in a sword fight? Perhaps the tactical genius in securing a victory? Nope. All Maleficent had to do was fly fast and hard and knock him off his horse, which severely injured the older weaker man.

Maleficent / int_12dd1d4c	comment	A young woman wakes up, disoriented and confused, and to her horror discovers that the man she befriended and opened her heart and home to has drugged her and violated her while she was unconscious, all just to gain power and prestige among his peers. From then on, she has difficulty trusting others and develops an aversion to physical contact, even with people she really cares about, and avoids discussing the incident even with close friends.

Maleficent / int_13d7a65e	type	The Artifact
Maleficent / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: Maleficent interrupts the third fairy giving her gift at the christening, as she does in the animated film. However there it was the loophole that allowed the third fairy to soften the curse (from death to just enchanted sleep). Since Maleficent casts the curse as sleep from the start, and makes the curse irreversible, the third fairy never gives her gift. With King Hubert removed from the story, Philip's role as Aurora's future husband is removed completely. Likewise, he's not kidnapped by Maleficent (at least not in the same way) and his kiss doesn't wake Aurora up. The narrator says, at the end, that Aurora would be known as "Sleeping Beauty", but she was in her magical sleep for less than 24 hours (i.e. an ordinary length of time for someone who is ill) and the curse does not affect anyone else. At the climax, when Stefan has her surrounded, he yells at Maleficent "how does it feel to be a fairy creature without wings in a world where you don't belong" and is sounding quite emotional, like taking his revenge for being ostracized because of lacking wings. This is a remnant from the script's first draft where Stefan was a wingless half-fairy, a bastard son of the king of the Moors who was unwelcome there and decided to take his chance in the human world while Maleficent urged him to stay.

Maleficent / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Compared to the original 1959 animated film. The scene where Maleficent gets her wings cut off is very unsettling to say the least (Word of God is that it's an allegory for rape), along with her discovering what happened to them when she wakes up. Prior to that, the war scene between King Henry and Maleficent's tree/goblin army is quite ferocious. Subverted as the film goes on. Despite the gloomy atmosphere and ramped up action, the film's version of Maleficent and how she grows to truly care for Aurora, makes the movie just as heartfelt as the animated film.

Maleficent / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Maleficent / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: A young woman wakes up, disoriented and confused, and to her horror discovers that the man she befriended and opened her heart and home to has drugged her and violated her while she was unconscious, all just to gain power and prestige among his peers. From then on, she has difficulty trusting others and develops an aversion to physical contact, even with people she really cares about, and avoids discussing the incident even with close friends. A young girl (Aurora) is wandering the countryside without any adult supervision, all the while being watched by a dark, brooding figure (Maleficent). Just when she least expects it, said figure abducts her and takes her to a realm that is feared/hated by humans. The scenario has some similarities to Hades abducting Persephone. At the climax of the film, two characters are fighting on the very top of the castle: the non-human protagonist, who is viewed as evil, but whom we know to be kind at heart and remorseful of earlier evil actions, and who, contrary to popular belief, has nothing but the best at heart for our female, human heroine; and the human antagonist, who fills a classically heroic role, despite the fact that he's a self-obsessed prick. Having defeated the antagonist, the protagonist turns to walk away, only to be attacked from behind and dodge, causing the antagonist to fall to his death. Sound familiar? Aurora's curse, and her reaction to learning about it. On the onset of things, she looks like a perfectly healthy, bright young girl; however, the curse is shown to be in her body, waiting for the appointed day that it will doom her. When Aurora learns she's going to basically die on her sixteenth birthday, she reacts with confusion, sadness, and â€” toward Maleficent and the Fairies â€” a bit of anger. The curse can easily be seen as a terminal disease. A confused girl on the cusp of adulthood, wandering aimlessly, stuck between kissing a boy and doing something with her finger.

The wallerbogs use their saliva to make fresh mud for the bogs. Rock Fairies move rocks around to help the flow of streams and rivers. Butterfly Fairies tend to flowers.

Maleficent / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Maleficent / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: During the opening battle, Maleficent's forces include riders on boars. This is likely an allusion to the pig-goblins under her dominion in the animated film. The ruined castle where Maleficent goes to be alone after Stefan steals her wings is a reference to her fortress on the Forbidden Mountain in the original film. At one point, Maleficent states, "I wonder." The original animated film had a song of the same name. Maleficent's lines as she enters King Stefan's castle are pretty much the same, word-for-word, as in the animated film. The wall of thorns Maleficent creates around the Moors is a reference to the forest of thorns that surrounded Stefan's castle in the animated film. Aurora's dress in the third act is blue like her original 1959 incarnation's. However, while the original film's dress was based on the fashion styles of the late Fifties, Elle Fanning's dress is more medieval-looking (having been modeled after Renaissance-era dresses). Stefan comments that Aurora looks just like her mother. The two did indeed have a Strong Family Resemblance in the original film. One of the novelizations mentions Aurora going out to pick berries, just like in the 1959 film. In reality, however, she's using that as a cover story while she goes further into the woods than her aunts would like her to. The film ditches Maleficent's iconic green skin in favor of a paler, whiter complexion. However, when she surrounds herself with green fire during the curse scene, her skin does indeed turn a light shade of green (temporarily)◊, like her animated counterpart.

Maleficent / int_2ec87029	type	Sadly Mythtaken
Maleficent / int_2ec87029	comment	Sadly Mythtaken: The film's plot was conceived when Linda Woolverton wondered why Maleficent, a fairy, didn't have any wings. Anyone who knows anything about fairy lore â€” or simply read the Analysis section on TV Tropes' own page on The Fair Folk â€” would know that having wings is not a prerequisite to being a fairy, and such an idea was added later during the late 19th/earlier 20th century (which, fittingly enough, Disney helped popularize). That being said, the film does show that research was done in regards to actual Celtic fairies (such as their aversion to iron), and the film does sort of address this; particularly, Aurora's conversation with Maleficent (from which the page quote is from) does indeed have Maleficent say that most fairies have wings. This is also immediately demonstrated at the film's start, when the various Fair Folk are shown going about their daily business in the Moors.

However, it is a very bad idea to mount an assault on the Moors, for the Sentries are more than capable of fending off any human threats.

The film goes out of its way to show that she had plenty of reason to become evil, thanks to King Stephan personally betraying her by cutting off her wings, making her vendetta against him much more personal.

It should also be noted that some interpreted this same scene as an allegory for Jolie's preventative double mastectomy, but the film's cast was confirmed well before her surgery took place. This makes one of the overarching messages of the movie that rape takes away someone's sense of safety, power, and freedom in their own body. The act being treated as the absolute point of no return for Stefan's cruelty was entirely intentional.

Both were also Wide-Eyed Idealists who saw nothing but good in the people they met. And on a darker note, both had their hearts broken by someone they thought they could trust. This is even more emphasized when she first meets Maleficent as a teen. Her hooded cloak and dress were purposefully designed to resemble Maleficent's dress the night Stefan betrayed her. The idea was that, in seeing Aurora dressed similarly to her, Maleficent would get a brief glimpse of the innocent girl she once was.

In this film, Aurora has an emotional breakdown when the Three Good Fairies reveal she's a princess and that she's actually cursed (it was unclear if she was told about the curse in the original). The major difference here, though, is that Aurora is also clearly hurt by the revelation that Maleficent, whom she believes to be her godmother, was the fairy who cursed her.

Maleficent / int_7eb73553	comment	Bullying a Dragon: "Hey, there's a forest full of monsters. Let's go attack them." Curb-Stomp Battle ensues. The novelization explains that King Henry's attacks on the Moors were preemptive strikes against The Fair Folk; as far as he was concerned, leaving a forest full of magic-wielding creatures alone would simply make it more likely that they would someday attack the humans. Never mind that the Fair Folk don't seem interested at all in the human kingdom. The Narrator also explains that Henry's final attack on the Moors was due to rumors spreading about a powerful being (Maleficent) rising up as the fairy realm's protector. This trope later becomes quite literal when King Stefan and his guards attempt to capture Maleficent and Diaval and Maleficent uses her magic to transform Diaval into a large dragon in order to save themselves.

Maleficent / int_8ae880f7	type	Deconstruction
Maleficent / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: This movie has a bunch: The Curse Escape Clause and Exact Words are intertwined in this one. Maleficent's curse was so powerful, that no power on Earth can rend it asunder, not even she who invoked the curse in the first place. However, since the curse itself said that the child would grow with grace and beauty and shall be loved by all, the curse itself has the way to break the enchantment. Years of watching over Aurora leads Maleficent to care for her deeply, enough that Maleficent's kiss would qualify as true love's kiss. Disproportionate Retribution: Instead of being snubbed by The King by not receiving an invitation to the christening, her issue was that he essentially crippled her! Granted, taking it out on the daughter was a bit much, but this too was changed, as Maleficent grew to love the girl and eventually take her revenge directly on the one who tried to kill her. Fairy Godmother: Send a bunch of low-ranking pixies to take care of a little child, when they have no prior experience with humans whatsoever? Then prepare to have said child almost die in their care. They wouldn't know the first thing about taking care of the baby, or what to feed it. In fact, were it not for Maleficent and Diaval, Aurora would've been dead long before her 16th birthday. Ironically, Aurora spends her entire childhood perfectly well convinced that Maleficent is her Fairy Godmother, and addresses her as such. Though in a practical sense, she (unintentionally) is. True Love's Kiss: While there's a moment between Aurora and Philip, you can't expect there to be such a deep level of love with a person whom you just met for one afternoon. Philip himself doesn't expect it to work either, protesting to the fairies that he barely knows Aurora, but they repeatedly insist that he kiss her anyway. This one at least gets reconstructed: Much like Once Upon a Time and Frozen did, this movie shows that romantic love is not the only kind of true love. One of the common modern complaints about Sleeping Beauty is the creepy vibe of the whole "kissing an unconscious woman unable to give you her consent" thing. When the fairies pressure him to kiss this unconscious girl he's only met once before for all of 5 minutes, his first reaction is to point out that she's asleep and it would be wrong, which greatly averts the Values Dissonance present in the source material. He does kiss her, but only because he's aware that it's an attempt to break a spell.

It reimagines Maleficent as a complex woman who changes from heroic guardian of the Moors to vengeful Woman Scorned and finally into an antihero over the many years the film covers. She serves as an unwitting mother figure to Aurora, and helps to mold the princess into a wise and strong-willed young woman. Aurora is notably more proactive in this telling of the story, with far more character development and agency than is normally seen in most versions of Sleeping Beauty. She is also not woken from her sleep by Prince Philip, who even points out that he doesn't know her well enough to be in love yet. Instead, it is Maleficent who awakens Aurora with a remorseful kiss to the forehead â€” having included in her curse that all who met Aurora would come to love her.

When she curses Aurora, she says the princess will be "beloved by all who meet her" and that "no force on earth" has the power to undo the curse. Naturally, as she observes Aurora, Maleficent comes to love the Princess against her will. Once she does, she tries to remove the curse, only to find that she cannot. Stefan as well.

It doesn't, because a love that deep cannot exist between two people after just one meeting, and in the film it is rather forced by The Three Good Fairies, leaving little room for any "true love". This works because it did break her curse in the original film.

Maleficent's raven has his name changed from 'Diablo' to 'Diaval' and given an Irish accent in human form. Both words are the Spanish and Irish respectively for 'devil' â€” though the latter is actually spelt 'diabhal'note in the Irish language, a bh together creates a v sound, so presumably this was to avoid confusing young viewers. In Celtic mythology, crows and ravens are also associated with the winged battle goddess the Morrigan â€” who seems to have partially inspired Maleficent's winged look in the film.
