Oh sure, I go for movies nowadays. It’s just that instead of my usual movie partner (my hubby), I now watch movies with my son. Of course, this means that movie choices are limited to kiddie shows, but let me tell you that that does not necessarily mean a bad thing.
My recent movie outing with Ethan was to watch the show Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale. While I vaguely remember the story from reading it when I was young, the storyline from the movie certainly did not follow the classic tale in every sense. It still had that well-known line, “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!”, but throw in some drama about a handsome *thief*, a gorgeous girl with long hair, a scary and mean looking stepmother, add a dash of romance and oh, of course, the beautiful musical score, and you’ve got yourself a heartwarming tale that appeals to both kids and adults. It’s not Academy Award-winning material, of course, but I loved it all the same.
My favorite scene from the movie was when the song “I See The Light” was sung…*dreams and sighs*
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I’ve been
Now I’m here, blinking in the starlight
Now I’m here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it’s all so clear
I’m where I’m meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
Flynn:
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she’s here shining in the starlight
Now she’s here, suddenly I know
If she’s here it’s crystal clear
I’m where I’m meant to go
Rapunzel & Flynn:
And at last I see the light
Flynn:
And it’s like the fog is lifted
Rapunzel & Flynn:
And at last I see the light
Rapunzel:
And it’s like the sky is new
Rapunzel & Flynn:
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you
I’ve been telling everyone I meet that I simply LOVED the show. It reminded me of The Little Mermaid, because I felt my heartstrings tug, especially when the song above was sung. Yup, I’m a hopeless romantic that way.
Plus, I had great company too…so no complains there! 🙂
Perhaps I enjoyed the show more than Ethan did! LOL
