A nice parallel I never noticed until now: when Maleficent meets Diaval, she saves him from a farmer's net.  When she turns him into a dragon, he returns the favor and frees her from the king's net.

"He doesn't have a classically handsome face. So I'm pretty sure he is going to be killed... or cursed... or something bad"

Too true.

I feel like no one talks about how the colour of her magic changes over time. Like when she’s young is yellow then when Stefan betrays her its green and when she starts to love aurora it goes back to yellow.

Here's the thing that I actually appreciated with this Sleeping Beauty remake: It was an actual remake. They changed things and went with a different storyline. Like…brought new stuff to the table, not just remade the scenes.

i didn't know the "she was a fairy" meme came from this movie lmao

Fun fact: The little girl that played as Child Aurora was Angelina Jolie’s 5-year-old daughter Vivienne, because she was the only little girl who wasn’t frightened by Angelina Jolie in her Maleficent costume.

if the lamp doesn't turn green i want a refund

Fun fact: when they were filming the scene where Maleficent picks up Aurora as a child, they had to use Angelina Jolie’s daughter because all of the other children that age were terrified of her in the costume. Angelina’s daughter was able to see that it was her mom though which is why she wasn’t scared.

Maleficent said in the curse "beloved by all who meet her" she never excluded herself from that, that's why she ended up loving aurora more than anyone cause she's also the one that spent the most time with her so she was destined to love her the most

it was angelina jolie’s idea to have lana del rey on the soundtrack, and yeah she’s the perfect choice for end credits :’)

Maleficent spell on Aurora was her downfall, she literally said in the curse, Everyone who meets you will love you. Maleficent met her and basically watched her grow up and now loves her like her own.

I liked how Stephen gave Maleficent the "gift" of what he said was"true love's kiss" and Maleficent was so bitter about his betrayal she made that the key to ending the curse.

“Beloved by everyone she meets”
Sis you just played yourself

14:24 what I love about this is she falls under her own curse, "the child will be beloved by all"
That includes herself

true love's kiss doesn't work
fairy: "you didn't do it right!"
dylan: "yeah get your tongue in there"

The fact that the cutting of her wings (while having been drugged by someone she trusted) was a confirmed representation of women being drugged and waking up to find they've been r*ped, and honestly...having been in that moment myself, Angelina Jolie's acting was impeccable. This was, and still is, the best adaptation of that moment for me without it being explicitly about r*pe. That part hits my heart every time.

The fact Dylan knew right away the kid was gonna be a villain because he didn't have a classically handsome face (nice way to say ugly) lmfaaao

That mocking tone in her voice when she said “true love’s kiss” as she was cursing the kid was EVERYTHING.

“He doesn’t have a movie star face so he’s probably going to be screwed over” I lost my mind 😂😂😂

I loved the movie when at the end they interpreted true love kiss not as a cliché which is a result of superficial “love” between two strangers but a motherly love which was built up through the movie
