Saw Brave.
Jun. 29th, 2012 06:28 pmI had decided to avoid it, but friends wanted to go.
It was... Okay. Enjoyable to watch but a mild letdown (except that I'd read a Guardian review of it that warned me of the problematic bits, so I wasn't surprised.)
( mild and vague spoilers )
Update: I've written a long spoiler-y meditation on the "Bear and the Bow" mythology and classical/Celtic motifs in Brave on my Mythphile blog. If anyone's seen the film and knows Celtic and Scottish mythology, please check me and make sure I haven't screwed up. My knowledge of Celtic/Gaulic/Gaelic culture is painfully spotty.
