From Fantasy to Reality.

 The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

 I watched a movie entitled "Enchanted" awhile ago and got me thinking. At this age of mine, 18, I'm still a fan of these Walt Disney princess movies like "Sleeping Beauty" , "Snow White" , "Cinderella" and the such. It makes me really want to believe in damsels in distress, handsome prince charming, love at first sight or happily ever after. Everytime you watch something like this, it just takes you away from the real world, from reality.

Watching the movie, I realized things.

• There is no such thing as love at first sight. Once you find out each others character, there will always be a problem about it or something that would eventually, set you part. And when this happens, you'd realize that everything was just some whirlwind romance.
• In a fantasy, you could be someone's only one. But in reality, there is a chance that he/she could/would find someone else better than you. Someone who's more good-looking, richer, and everything "more than" what and who you are. Reality is harsh, I know.
• Happily ever after is not for everyone. A few only get it. You may be happy in the beginning but would it last until the "ever after"?
• Happiness is hard to find. Sometimes, you'd ask yourself if there really is such a thing. You can never tell. Life is unfair. You don't get everything you want and the word 'contentment' could be a stranger in you.
• Prince or princess, duet of you life, partner or other halves are hard to find. Some just don't exist, others had already got them and made them theirs. Only a few find theirs and they are lucky.
• Singing doesn't let you command birds, rats, chipmunks or rabbits. That's screwed.

Basically, the movie shows the difference between fantasy and reality. The dream from the real world is completely different. True love's kiss and ballads may prove things in a fantasy that would lead to happily ever afters. In reality, there is no true love's kiss but  French kissing and sex; and ballads only apply to singers.
