"DAMSEL" reveals the sacrifices we make to protect our homes and lives

The movie "DAMSEL" reveals the sacrifices we make to protect our homes and lives, sometimes beyond words. Even though 23 minutes into the movie sheds light on the struggles of dark-skinned women in society, whether as queens or stepmothers, being dark-skinned often subjects you to discrimination while fighting for your family's rights. I admire how Lady Bayford stood up for her stepdaughter, reminding the queen that her name was Elodie. It's no wonder many women struggle with trust issues after marriage, as many boys fail to become men. Join me in reviewing this movie. I was infuriated watching the scene at 34 minutes; why would a father sell his daughter for a mere coin?

Imagine being thrust into a sacrifice unexpectedly, and finding yourself in a situation you didn't plan for. Suddenly, you question if your father, your first love, or even your stepmother betrayed you. As these thoughts whirl in your mind, you pray for guidance. Then, right before you, a dragon appears, beyond anything you imagined. If you were a lady, how would you respond when a talking dragon asks for your name?

When Elodie was adorned with layers of cloth, I sensed there was a purpose. If you watch until 47 minutes, it all becomes clear. Sometimes, your enemies unwittingly provide you with the tools for survival. However, your approach to challenges determines their effectiveness. Behind the glamour lie numerous names - Victoria, Beatrice, Artemis, Genevive, Fatima, Carlotta - unknown to the world. I admire how the movie reveals the sacrifices hidden behind wealth. You'll grasp this concept by 54 minutes. When you open your inner eyes, you'll realize you're not alone in facing challenges.

Watching the movie until 1 hour and 3 minutes will make you think it's over. I was shocked by the result. At first, I felt like, "Damn girl, fatherly love will always prevail." I was emotional. However, I understand why the dragon was angry at the people. But must they use other people's daughters? Her daddy's confession only made her stronger, which is what every girl wants from her father. What's even stronger is when a father asks for his daughter's forgiveness. What I don't understand is why Elodie and not Floria? Was it because she's young or because the prince didn't agree with the plan? Even though I don't agree with the scene at 1 hour and 33 minutes, it's a movie worth watching with many great lessons about humankind.

I'd rate the movie 7/10, but actually 6.5/10 due to too many unrealistic scenes.
