Cheesiness is a no

Ya know what I want to know? What is the point of cheesy, happily ever after films? Is it to show young girls that they need to rely on a man for their own personal happiness? So that they can base their self-worth off of what kind of man they can get? I wish film makers would stop making these unrealistic films that give people false expectations for their lives. I suppose this falls into the category of parenting where parents need to make it clear to their children what is reality and what is not, but when it comes down to it, it is the children’s films that are mostly like this. 

Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc. are all characters that most little girls know about and love, but honestly I do not think that these are proper role models for young girls. Young girls need to know that they cannot base their self-worth off of a man and that they cannot just sit around waiting for their prince charming. They need to be taught that life isn’t always smiles and rainbows and that life has twists and turns that are going to make life difficult at times but need to have the courage to keep pushing forward. This rant has gotten a little off topic, so I am going to conclude with that I am simply sick of cheesy films where reality is portrayed as always being beautiful and perfect. Give me something real. 

& thank you, Elsa.
