In the romantic comedy "Born Princess 2: Royal Engagement", released in 2004, the story of the character Mia Semopolis has triggered many deep thoughts about modern royal marriages.Although this film is a sequel to "Born Princess" in 2001, the overall plot is no longer based on any books, but is created independently.
In the movie, Mia has to find a spouse within a month to inherit her grandmother's throne, which puts her in a struggle between tradition and her own emotions.
One of the biggest surprises of the movie is that Mia challenges the ancient rules of marriage.The story is set in five years later, Mia graduated from Princeton University and returned to her hometown of Gennovia, preparing to welcome the abdication of her grandmother, Queen Clarice.At the 21st birthday party, in order to find a suitable fiancé, Mia was forced to dance with many married men, but unexpectedly met the charming Nicholas, and the two quickly fell in love.
However, the royal law pushed her into a dilemma.Mia received a notice at this time that if she could not get married within one month, she would lose the qualification to inherit the throne.This move reflects the oppression of traditional ideas on women, forcing Mia to think about the way she really wants to live.
Mia's inner conflicts and her fiancé Andrew's engagement also resonated with the audience.
As the story progressed, Mia gradually realized that the so-called "royal engagement" should not be to meet legal needs, but should represent love and choice.Her friend Lily and two waitresses became important support for her, and they helped Mia face the pressure from outside.
The climax of the movie is that Mia finally decides to challenge this rule.For example, during a pivotal Independence Day parade, Mia resolutely helped orphans who were bullied, showing strong empathy and a sense of responsibility to society.This not only won her praise from everyone, but also made her understanding of her own identity and power more deeply.
Finally, as the wedding was about to begin, Mia let out her voice and called on Congress to reconsider the laws of royal marriage. This move unexpectedly subverted tradition and emphasized the importance of free choice and true love.She asked the MP if she could really ask the important women in her life to get married in an ordinary way without considering love?
Mia's brave behavior deeply moved her grandmother Queen Clarice and Nicholas whom she loved, and this change brought new thinking and hope to the entire kingdom.
With Congress' support, Mia not only successfully abolished this outdated law, but also redefined the status of women in the royal family, and eventually got a love story that suits her own heart.In this way, the film conveys that women should have the right to choose their partner and are not bound by traditional laws.
At the end of the film, with Mia being crowned, she becomes the new queen of Gennovia.This story is not only a presentation of a wedding, but also a journey of courage and choice, encouraging modern women to fight against the seemingly unshakable constraints of stereotypes and traditions.
The Born Princess 2: Royal Engagement ends with an open question, which is exactly the challenge facing women in contemporary society: How would you choose your future in the contradiction between love and tradition?
