Plongé dans l’univers de la belle au bois dormant, le conte est revisité. On se place du point de vue de maléfique, et on s’en rend compte au fil du scénario qu’elle a des raisons d’être « maléfique ». Le pays de la Lande me fait penser aux paysages d’avatar, ou d’Alice au pays des merveilles. Le film est sympa bien que prévisible (principe des Disney). J’aime le fait que maléfique soit à la fois la gentille et la méchante, et qu’implicitement le véritable méchant, c’est le roi Stefan.
Synopsis
A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. She rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal – an act that begins to turn her heart into stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading King's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom – and to Maleficent's true happiness as well.
