The Princess: Joey King rather rescue herself than wait for a Prince!
The Princess is the Hollywood debut of the Vietnamese-born director Le-Van Kiet. He is well-known in his home nation of Vietnam for his action and horror films. This film, along with the Shark Film “The Requin,” is his big opportunity to crossover. The Princess wants to break the trope of a Damsel in Distress. Ben Lustig and Jake Thornton pen the script. Remember how The Prince and Maleficent have most of the face time in Sleeping Beauty while Aurora just slept the whole film. That is a prime example of this old trope still haunts fiction revolving around King’s daughters.
They are both men, but they seem to deliver on the challenge of writing a strong female character. The movie centers around a Royal daughter who decided to control her fate. Instead of depending on a man to help her with her burdens.
The Princess Official Trailer
Julius (Dominic Cooper) made a deal with a King that he would marry his daughter if she reached a certain age. The Princess (Joey King) is not interested in marrying him. Not only because she has no romantic feelings for him, but because he is a walking red flag. Julius has sociopath tendencies, and she knows marrying him won’t be a marital bliss. Julius doesn’t accept rejection easily, especially since he desires to take over the Kingdom and can only do that by marrying the Princess.
He got her captured and imprisoned so his plans could still commence. Little did he know, She was no ordinary Princess. She is a trained warrior who can defend herself from an assailant to anyone who meant her crime. The Princess and her foreign best friend, Lin (Veronica Ngo), will team up to save the Kingdom from Julius’ reign of terror. The Princess is coming to Hulu this July 1st.

When I was a little girl, I want to be a Princess but not anymore. I prefer to be the Empress that rules over the Empire! Than a weak Princess to be rescued. I like the concept of this movie. I can’t believe Joey King is all grown up now because I remember her a little girl in the Ramona and Beezus movie with Selena Gomez playing her big sister.

Remember the Disney film Brave? This is like a live action version of it. Both movies are about Ginger haired Princesses who refuses to get married. I love how the society had progressed. Older films is always about women being desperate to have a man in their life. A woman can be happy even without getting married.

Joey King did this movie before Bullet Train and she will play villain in that action film.

I love WWE and the Joan Jett Song, Reputation which is used in the Trailer is Ronda Rousey’s entrance theme.

I can see those straight while male “anti-woke” Vloggers on YouTube hating this movie now and I will watch this movie as a celebration of their misery. Why are men so hateful of strong female characters. Why they accuse every female lead film as “woke”

This movie is like a decade late. We already have badass Princesses in movies like Rapunzel in movies. It is not something new.
