A Review on Moana

Who knew Disney could make a film without a love interest?

Who knew there could be a Disney movie where the princess doesn't end up with love? In Disney's latest princess movie Moana, the main character, Moana doesn't have a love interest at all. Moana Waialiki is drawn to the sea her whole life but she is told to never explore the sea from mostly her father and the island because it's dangerous. Her father is the chief and she is an only child, making her eventually become the next chief.

She later finds out that she is from a long line of navigators. When her island's fishermen can't catch any fish and the crops fails, she learns that the demigod Maui caused the chaos by stealing the heart of the goddess, Te Fiti. The only way to heal Moana's island is to persuade Maui to return Te Fiti's heart. Moana then sets off to help her island.

Compared to other Disney movies this movie has a completely different plot. Most Disney princess movies revolve around the princess ending up with a prince and from beginning to end the princess meets the prince, has a conflict with him and then they end up together. I think this movie did a great job at making sure the plot wasn't revolved around Moana finding a husband.

The body standards are also different in this movie rather than others. Moana doesn't have a very slim waist and wears long gowns. She doesn't fit societies standards of what a perfect body should look like. This is important for young girls who may be watching this to realize they don't have to be incredibly skinny to be beautiful.

The visuals are very well done due to technical advancements and makes it seem more realistic. The visuals for the island look very much like an actual island in Hawaii with the plants and the light blue color of the ocean. The animals in the movie are also accurate to the animals that are in Hawaii, such as pigs and chickens.

The musical score for the movie was written by Lin-Manual Miranda who also wrote the score for Hamilton did an incredible job on the music for Moana. In the song How Far I'll Go there is a key change that would make anyone who knows anything about music happy. The instrumental songs are very well written and Auli'i Cravalho (Moana) and Dwayne Johnson have very good voices for their characters.

Overall I would recommend this movie to any one who loves adventure, humor and Disney.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
