Nimona

2023

★★★★ Liked

The great parts are REALLY great here, even to the point it became a gut punch, to the point it reminded me of my own experience when I was younger.

"Oh Sagan, will you stop telling about yourself in a movie revie-"*SHUSH*

I happen to be in the autistic spectrum. Everytime I got so excited, I look up above while jumping and flapping my hands. That is... not so acceptable to look at, especially not in a religious dormitory full of paranoid zealots who think the devil could be anyone and anywhere. One day, one of my dorm mates saw me overly-excited and did exactly what I said above, not only he did not accept who I was but he also snitched to other dorm mates and even the counselors, and they all started threw mean words on me, said that "I need exorcism", "Devil's child", and try to knock me down every single chance they get. Hell I wouldn't survive on that dorm if it wasn't the fact that I'm the child of my dad (whom almost everyone in my country respected a lot) so that cut me a bit of slack.

In some extent, I can relate to Nimona and why almost everyone wanted her dead. I may not some gleeful child who loves to destroy everything, I mean, I could be too, but I know if I do that I would hurt the few one who care about or even love me. But sometimes, seeing a large part of my life who was supposed to have some of the best friends, especially high school stages where they were supposed to define who I am (today), all those gone away and I am not sure if I could re-write myself back to who I used to be when I was in elementary school.

NOW BACK TO REVIEW

The only grips I had was that the Director was a pretty weak villain, basically a discount Frollo without background or even actual connection to Nimona or Gloreth. I also would like to see more background for Nimona on how did she form, does she have a family, or where did she came from. I don't think the "I have no background, so what?!" thought is as cool as it was trying to be.

Otherwise, another good moobi, Blue Sky W, Disney L
