Forgive and Forget?

Hercules is such an awesome movie! And best of all- it's Disney! It is such an amusing take on the Greek myth and of course, the Disneyfication of it not only makes it awesome, but it makes it so much easier to understand for all of us simple minded souls.

Disney is magical- just like the T.V says. It always manages to cheer me up, even from the worst moods. Even the girls with the disproportionate eyes and hands and waists and legs and arms. The Disney songs are so random and strange but I love them. And there are always lessons to be learnt from Disney!

Hercules teaches us not to try and be things we are not and that all the bravado we put on is nothing compared to who we are. It also tells us not to trust people with fire for hair. Hercules feels like he doesn't belong (who doesn't feel like that sometimes), bu t after a bit of time being a hero, he discovers that he belongs right here, on Earth, in the place where he lives. Disney tells us "to quit your moaning and stop being so pathetic and get on with life!" Disney also shows us that we all fit in, in our own special way.

Also, there is this part where 'Meg' betrays him, and then he forgives her!? After she ultimately gained his trust then broke his heart and Hades took away his strength in order to try and overthrow Zeus. And he forgave he! Is some little idiot did that to me... I'd snap their neck. I would so want to keep my super power and save the world. I suppose the phrase "forgive and forget" springs into mind here. I don't forgive easily. I'm very excellent at holding a grudge against someone. Am I holding a grudge at the moment? Ummmm... I think I am. But I can't remember why. Well, I have the forget side of that phrase.

But my Sunday afternoon was heaven... A Disney movie to lift my spirits and yeah. Disney can make you feel so special and awesome and they are the best 'feel-good-movies' ever! Who needs a rom-com and ice cream when you're feeling blerg? Why not watch Disney in front of the fire? Yep- we have a fire! It's cold, don't judge!
