True to the Disney way, there are both hilarious and outrageous fights, chases, stuffed shirts that get brought down, smashing of crockery and overturning of all manner of structures, and a good time for the kids of all ages. This one is herself brave, and that makes all the difference to the story line. What’s great about this is that when I was a child, Disney princesses were basically rescued by brave men. She runs away, encounters a witch who agrees to help her “change her mother.” But we all know it’s necessary to be very, very careful when making requests from witches, don’t we? Of course she wins the archery competition, but her mother insists this does not mean she need not marry. Of course, they are all ridiculous in one way or another, and Merida decides she will compete for her own hand. The day comes when she must be presented for the competition to win her hand in marriage, and the scions of three important clans present themselves for competition. She also has terrific talent with a bow and arrow, although her mother Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson’s voice) has done her level best to polish her into a proper princess. Brave she is, even to the point where courage meets foolhardiness. Not to mention a pretty wild Irish heart. "Watch it loud with the lights off.A brilliant piece of animation by Pixar/Disney! Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald’s voice) has flaming red hair and a lovely Irish accent.
On the bottom of the cover, the final lines are: Although this story bears similarities to actual recorded incidents in the history of the Severn Bridge we wish to stress that this is a work of fiction. It is Stanley's stark vision of a young life in the 90's inspired by Marillion's album of the same name, which centres around a teenage girl who is found wandering in a state of amnesia on the Severn Bridge, and her consequent search for her past.
BRAVE MOVIE MOVIE
The Movie is a fifty-minute concept film directed by cult movie director Richard Stanley. On the back of the cover of the videocassette, the description reads as follows:īrave. Thus, "Made Again", which concludes the story on the record as a happy ending of sorts, is not included. On the recording, it is left ambiguous as to whether the main character, played by Josie Ayers, commits suicide in the end. The film tells the story in pictures accompanied by the entire Brave record minus "Paper Lies" and the final song "Made Again". The run time of the film is 57 minutes both the original VHS release and the 2004 re-issue on DVD additionally include a 30 minutes "making-of" documentary. The music videos for Brave 's three singles - "The Great Escape", "Hollow Man" and "Alone Again in the Lap of Luxury" - were taken from this film. It could have worked really well with him making that movie. I'm not blaming Stanley, because the budget he had to work with was minuscule.
Kelly said to Dave Everley in Classic Rock Magazine: "It wasn’t a good film to be honest. But anyway, I think working with Richard Stanley is probably the closest we’ve ever come to devil’s music, he’s definitely got a bit of the devil in him, cos he’s made some really dark films." It was more than the budget could cope with, if you know what I mean. I didn’t know this, but apparently he basically said, “I disown that piece of work because they took what was a short piece of film and turned it into something much longer.” I suppose there is some truth in that, in the sense that he was working with a very small budget – I say “small budget”, it was about £100k – to try to make a movie that covered 70 minutes, which is the Brave album. Mark Kelly said in an interview 2013: "It took me to a website that had an interview with Richard Stanley, who was the director of our Brave movie. After the release of the album, Marillion expressed a desire to create a video out of the album's concept in a manner comparable to Pink Floyd's The Wall.Ĭult film director Richard Stanley, intrigued by the concept, agreed to sign on as the project's director. A concept album inspired by a news story singer/lyricist Steve Hogarth had heard about an amnesiac girl found wandering the Severn Bridge, the album follows a fictional account of the girl's life and the events that led her there. In 1994, Marillion released their seventh studio album Brave.
