Eventually the movie Raya gets to a goid mental health space. However, throughout the movie you are constantly clobbered over the head with the phrase that “you can’t trust anyone.” Everyone is capable of lying and seems to do so. Raya- the protagonist in a mystical world of dragons- is repeatedly betrayed. While the animation is beautiful, with so much mistrust, the movie comes off a bit too heavy on the doom and gloom. This is reversed entirely, of course, at the end of the movie. In this way, you built up a grand wish for them all to come to see the good in one another so that they can save the world together.
As you watch such a movie, you can’t help but think of the times you have been lied to and how a bucket of mistrust builds up within you. It becomes easy to expect lies and betrayal but that makes life hard to navigate. You can go by the mantra trust but vetify and it creates some ease and space. Or as this movie statrd, sometimes you have to make the first move to trust even when you are not sure you are ready to do so. That can end up being high risk and great failure. It can also end up being high risk and great reward. ‘Tis the season of giving. Maybe one can try.

It also reminds me that I also have lied and been someone that somebody couldn’t trust. It may be challenging to trust others, but can I trust myself? Great post.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing something so personal. Vulnerability allows for trust to seep in.

basically the entire movie is correct you can not trust anyone and it ends that way as well, ALL Trust is broken with no redemption! its the same in real life. you literally can not trust anyone everyone is out for them selves! it seem to be the human condition! and more people now are going with not giving a f**K and feeling better as they wont let people get to them but this is how it always is! even down to the last scene you have a gas lighting, selfish, backstabbing character who try’s to blame Raya and like all gas lighter says “I never meant for this to happen” Like all who follow this path say the same thing when the crap hits the fan ” well your honour I never meant for this to happen” and like most gas lighting we foolishly believe it and many people get away with it!
