The mirror which we are going to focus on does not appear at first. It is not a main character or object and neither is it a mystical tool (like the magic sword of King Arthur or the rose in Beauty and the Beast), but it seems to be visibly intended to perform as it does. The goal is to prove how mirrors and light are the metaphor for the relationship between the witch and Rapunzel and it’s aspects of control.Ĭuriously, it is an object which may be disregarded in a first viewing of the movie, even though interaction with it is clear and prolonged. In this article I will analyze the mirror present in Tangled, and its role in the plot of the film.įor this analysis, we will follow the plot of the movie, jumping to those scenes where the mirror is present, or to those where reflections are important. Maybe my analytical mind is playing with me in this study, but I consider my thoughts worth sharing. As we see how an object is developed in a film we realize they can act as metaphors, placed carefully and full of intention. I regard it as proof of how cinema is full of details which may be ignored, but that deserve closer observation. However, in the Disney film Tangled, it becomes a very interesting case of study. The mirror is an object that has always been a source of discomfort and fascination for me. I have been interested in mirrors for years.
