Throughout history, the greatest weapon of the maleficent has been dehumanization. From the anti-semitic propaganda of the Nazi's to the misinformation tactics that fuel today's political machine, there's no better means division than to convince "good" people that anyone different from them is "evil" "less-than" "A MONSTER."
Long have societies encouraged us to deface and destroy those we don’t understand; to see them not as people, but as monsters. This "Us vs. Them" mentality creates an endless game of monsters and men; an infinite, un-winnable game where the only way to avoid losing is to stay on the right team.
If we are to stand a chance at unity as a nation, community, or even family, we must be willing to recognize that the “monsters” we see, no matter their appearance, might not be the monsters they’ve been made out to be. Because if we look deep enough, we find that there's a monster in all of us.
But this film will serve as a reminder, like tales old as time and songs old as rhyme have for generations, that there's no beast that can't be redeemed with a display of beauty.
