Edutainment+-+Disney+- Maleficent

//Maleficent// is one of many Disney movies with the message that seeking revenge can be costly. Maleficent's revenge ended up being the opposite of what she wanted, because she was too angry to even think through who she wanted to punish.

Equally important is the message that the people you are most angry at are not necessarily bad guys. Perhaps you are really just a victim of circumstances. For example, in the real world, people are angry at their replacement when they lose a job. The replacement didn't do anything that you wouldn't have done. They applied for a job. How is that their fault?

There is a definite distinction, in the movie, between people who are carelessly reactive, like Maleficent, and those who are just plain evil, thinking only of themselves at the expense of others, like Prince Phillip. We can forgive Maleficent, but it's a lot harder to forgive Prince Phillip, who willfully hurt others for personal gain.
