Maleficent
Long live the feminist revisionist backstory. Exploring the antecedents and motivations of literature’s great villainesses has proved a rich cultural vein, restoring the reputations of everyone from Mr. Rochester’s mad wife to the Wicked Witch of the West. The approach is such a winner that Disney got into the act, opening up its own cupboards to a bit of political spring cleaning: Based on both the 19th-century versions of the fairy tale and Disney’s own 1959 animated movie, Maleficent is a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty myth that reveals the reasons the evil fairy godmother cursed that darling baby in the first place.
