I read every word you said here and I have to agree. The songs are very personal and to the point, which I admire about her. But she never does anything for others if it is not ultimately for her benefit. She turned towards LGBTQ+ just to increase sales. She released so many versions of the same album, just to make money, and I also believe she lied about the copyright situation of their songs. Because she realized that if she made herself a victim and didn't buy the rights to her songs, she would get a lot more, and I'll tell you why - What do you think will make you more money? Selling old released albums that no one buys these days, or re-releasing the same albums for resale with "new" songs + previously unreleased songs? Of course, for her ego and her wallet, the second option is better in every direction. Yes, she is calculating whọre. Good for her possessive life if she has no heart and soul
It's a rather good remake in terms of love put into it, but a bad movie in general.
- decisions about character design
- muted colors for the underwater world in contrast to the world on land as the inner workings of Arielle sounds a better idea than it looks
- the relationship between her family members takes less than 10 minutes of screentime
- missing music in many scenes make the movie dull and inner workings of characters open for speculation
- taking the only interaction between Arielle and the prince (speaking) should have been a better start point for a deeper connection than this movie showed
- the kiss being the big turnaround is very cliche, no matter it's the source material
- the pacing is off many times, less underwater scenes/scenes of Arielle looking out of the water for more scenes in the castle
- the whole underwater world looks uninhabitated, there are about ten merpeople shown in beginning and 15 in the end
- Ursula scenes in the end... Like WTF... Did even the cgi guys not care anymore about this mess?
And I guess the list goes on. It didn't help that we have seen how magical an underwater world can look in Avatar just months prior.
I fuc king love NM, at first when I was super into pop, I didn’t really get her. But she’s ligit one of the best artists and lyricist around. She’s fuc king bonkers and I live for that.
