Enchanted

One of my favorite movies as a kid was Enchanted. It is about a princess named Giselle who is banished to the real-world (New York City) from the fairy tale world Andalasia (animated). Before being banished to the real world, she was set to marry Prince Edward and live happily ever. However, in the real world, she gets a rude-awakening. The real world is nothing like a fairy-tale. This is a satirical film. The movie definitely uses humor to criticize those who believe that living happily ever after with no adversity is possible. When Giselle gets to New York City, she automatically assumes that everyone knows where Andalasia is and asks everyone on the street to show her the way  Everyone stares at her like she's crazy. She comes off very entitled but naive in a funny way. There are many instances of hyperbole. Giselle meets this man (Robert) and her daughter in New York City, and he offers her to stay at his home. Robert thinks Giselle is a bit crazy.  As the days go on, Robert and Giselle get to know each other. Giselle finds out that Robert has been with his girlfriend for many years. Giselle tells Robert she barely knows her prince and they were supposed to get married within the next day of meeting each other. Giselle goes on and on that if she doesn't find her prince, she may die. Of course, she will not actually die from not marrying her prince. Another example is Giselle talking about the moment she reunites with her love. She describes when once she is reunited with her prince, she will be so happy and filled with rainbows and butterflies all around. Of course, this does not happen. In fact, there is a lot irony in this movie. Eventually Prince Edward finds Giselle, but Giselle doesn't feel much when she sees him. She likes her real-world lifestyle.  Throughout the movie, she learns about different emotions and dealing with them, and not always being joyful and giddy. Also, the truth about maintaining a healthy relationship and more. Unlike her supposed "fairy-tale" relationship with Edward. Ultimately, the movie implies that in order to be truly happy an individual must experience hardships. It's a great movie.
