I know a lot of people have seen the animated movie Moana. Disney's Moana washed up the shores of cinema in the year 2016 and I had the opportunity to watch it over and over again after its first premiering.
Yesterday was no exception as I came across the movie and had to rewatch it because it's a movie I can't get tired of.
Moana is a very interesting movie to me and teaches a lot of morals of which one is being courageous. From childhood, Moana was different from the rest of the children and had no serious interest in living the village life even though she loved her island. Her zeal and ambition for adventure made the ocean choose her. She was the perfect choice to go on such a risky journey of replacing the heart of Tefiti which Maui had stolen out of greed.
When I watched the movie for the first time, I thought Moana was somehow gonna get in a love entanglement with Maui as almost every Walt Disney movie I've seen ends up "with a happy ever after" love life but I was totally wrong.
She's the second princess after Merida not to have a love life and that is quite interesting because I figured that out when she placed the shell from the sea amongst the stone placed by the different generations of chiefs Moroni ever had. Maybe her lineage was gonna end with her because I don't see anything that can fit on the shell she placed amongst the stone.
Directed by John Musker; Ron Clement, I think the directors chose the perfect characters for the different roles assigned to them. Dwayne Johnson voiced the beautiful Maui role and seeing how bulky Maui is, it's only appropriate that he's voiced by Dwayne Johnson. I always admire his strength and beautiful tattoos. I'm just a very big fan yuuno.
Auli'i Cravalho also voiced the amazing, strong, unwavering Moana with great navigational talent and a love for adventure and the sea.
How can I leave out the amazing village crazy lady Moana's paternal grandmother "I guess I chose the right tattoo" I can't forget that statement just as much as Moana can't. Granna Tala, though older than Moana, formed an incredibly strong bond with her sea voyaging granddaughter. She is Moana's best friend and is played by Rachel House. I wish I had such a grandmother who wouldn't be scared to tell me the history of lineage but push me to greatness but instead, the reverse is the case.
Beyond the sweeping story, it's the lovable and amazing characters that help surf up Moana's magic to fulfilling her dreams.
Quite a very interesting watch, old but gold. Every time I watch it, I get new vibes and it never bores me out. I don't know about you.
