Damsel - Doors to the Fantastic World

One of the different ways to get away from the boring flow of life and the accumulated problems is sci-fi and fantasy movies. I can't listen to/watch real life stories to get away from real life, but productions based on a non-existent universe or life have managed to attract my attention more at such times.

Damsel, one of Netflix's new productions this year, features the aforementioned fantasy world and fantastic characters. For me, I think it is one of the good choices of the day because it breaks all your ties with real life while watching it. I admit that this is what I was looking for.

Set in a fantasy world, the story brings together princes and princesses from different kingdoms. Even though all the princesses gather for the same reason, the main theme of the movie is the plot that takes place unaware of each other's existence. I have a negative perception of accepting everything that happens in an unreal world in advance. That's why I don't have any expectations towards sci-fi and fantasy genre productions, I accept everything in the story and I know that this acceptance causes me to lose my critical point of view.

Damsel is not like the usual prince and princess stories, on the contrary, a strong princess character who takes care of her own affairs is shouldering the entire burden of the movie alone. As in all fantasy movies, the conflicts between good and evil are among the most important elements that embellish the movie.

In general, the movie is quite enjoyable to watch, the story is gripping and the flow is successfully ensured. If there had been a little more action scenes after the truth was revealed in the story based on lies, I would have used the word "excellent" for the movie without hesitation.

Millie Bobby Brown, who plays the character of Princess Elodie, gave an eye-catching performance as the strong character I mentioned. Although she struggles to save her life when all her hopes are crushed, she starts to climb to the top at the lowest point. Her successful performance as both a princess and a warrior was one of the most enjoyable moments of the movie.

You know the well-known stories where knights or princes rescue princesses. The movie Damsel is not one of them, and it bases the whole story on a strong female character. I think that's the most important benefit of the movie and that it fits perfectly in a fantasy movie.

The presence of a fantastic monster like a dragon adds extra value to the movie, while the harmonious connection between the story and the monster is due to the success of the script. I liked the movie Damsel and I highly recommend watching it. The movie is suitable for all kinds of viewers, the story progresses flawlessly and draws the viewer in.
