There are many sides to any story as we are told. The film takes us on an adventure with the iconic “Sleeping Beauty” villainess. This film is an adaptation of the Disney classic “Sleeping Beauty” from 1956 which was originally directed by Clyde Geronimi, Les Clark and Wolfgang Reitherman. The original only tells the story of Aurora and does not go into detail on how Maleficent came to be so evil and heartless. However this story is all about Maleficent and her journey to evil and good again. The film did a fantastic job comparing good and evil and also changing the fairy tale so that evil is the protagonist. Aurora plays a more minor role than in “Sleeping Beauty.”

It had been 4 years since Jolie last appeared on the big screen and what an incredible job she did. She brought the evil Maleficent to life. She made us feel Maleficent’s pain and fear. The once evil villain who striked fear in our heart made our hearts go soft and truly feel for the character was nothing only misunderstood throughout the original film. I was amazed about how much Angelina looked like the original evil Maleficent. Thank you creating amazing, stunning talented actress like Angelina Jolie. The other cast are famous but not as well-known as the star of this epic movie. Aurora is played by child star Elle Fanning (Known for Super 8). She may be the younger sister of Dakota Fanning but she is just as talented. She plays the Princess but plays a minor role not the lead as in the story of “Sleeping Beauty”. She is the one who changed Maleficent’s life so drastically through the film. Elle did a pretty well job of Aurora however there are many other actresses who would have been better suited for the role. Other characters our King Stefan played by Sharlto Copley (Known for Chappie). Sharlto Copley is a talented actor who plays a sort of villain in this film. This is a change in role for the part of King Stefan who in the original is a caring humorous father. The
