“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” is set in a magical fairy tale world, and yet it's likely to remind audiences of very real contemporary issues.
Angelina Jolie returns as the not-so-evil fairy and takes on Michelle Pfeiffer in “Mistress of Evil,” a messy but enjoyably unhinged sequel to Disney’s 2014 “Maleficent.”“There will always be parallels to today’s society, and I think it was important for us to make the commentary,” saiddirector Joachim Rønning. “Especially about man versus nature, and also about being intolerant of others and fearing people — or in our case the dark fey — because they’re not like us.
No reference to any real person, living or deceased, is ever made, but it’s difficult not to draw connections with numerous world leaders, including — at times — the current U.S. president.“As we were developing the Queen Ingrith character, it was interesting to see how important it is for authority and power, and how dangerous it is for a person in power, to control the narrative,” said Rønning. “That’s what Queen Ingrith is doing.
It’s not just Queen Ingrith’s actions that offer commentary about current events. It is also the situation around the dark fey, who had long been persecuted by humans.and learn she isn’t the only one of her kind, it’s on an island that they have all been exiled to after humanity forced them out of their various homelands. The dark fey are refugees.
