Maleficent: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maleficent_(film)Maleficent was originally the villain in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and in 2014 came the movie Maleficent which was told from her perspective and played by Angelina Jolie. This movie revealed that as Maleficent and the future King Stefan had been childhood friends but drifted apart when they were adults. It was in their adulthood that Stefan betrayed her just before he became king. As retaliation for this betrayal, Maleficent cursed his newly born daughter a curse that would take effect when the child turns 16. In order to keep the child Aurora safe, three pixies (Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville) takes care of her in a secluded place away from the castle until her aforementioned fateful birthday but Maleficent soon knows where they are. However Maleficent does not harm any of them and instead what ensues is that she and Aurora ended up becoming friendly as the latter approaches her 16th birthday. It was surprising here that Maleficent became quite a softie to Aurora and not quite the villain that she was displayed in Sleeping Beauty. It conveys well the message of true love something that was conveyed not so long ago in fellow Disney film Frozen. Quite a revelation at the end of who the narrator turned out to be. Maleficent is not bad and Angelina Jolie as the title character is magnificent but not quite the description I would give to the film itself.
