After the rental of “Maleficent”, the actors and the roles performed by them made such a splash that the creators immediately thought about the sequel of the film for the future. The success of the picture was even greater than expected, the audience is already waiting for the continuation.
Cruel world in a fairy tale
On the screen, the actors and the roles of Maleficent embodied the problems of the real world in a fairy tale plot. The main character is a fairy from the marshy swamps named Maleficent. Her closest man, a lover named Stefan, without hesitation goes to betrayal and without remorse responds to the king's call to kill a charming creature. The princess’s crown and hand relies on this — so the monarch will avenge defeat in battle. Earlier, the fairy defeated him when she defended her possessions. Now the mortally wounded king wishes her dead.
For such a reward, Stephen easily betrays Maleficent, although he knows about her love for him. Alone with her, he euthanizes his beloved and cuts off her wings. In this context, it is easy to trace a parallel with the complexities of real teenage love. Apparently, the actors and the roles of "Maleficent" appealed to the mass audience and doomed the picture to success.
Mary fanning
The choice of the acting craft for the girl did not require much thought, she followed the example of her sister Dakota, also an actress. Her parents are ordinary and little-known athletes. In 1998, they had a daughter, Mary Fanning, and as a child she appeared on the screen as one of the heroines of her older sister. So, due to visual similarities with Dakota, she was involved in two more paintings. And at 4, the baby has already played a role.
With such an early debut, the girl gained vast experience. She sufficiently attracted the attention of the directors. Mary Fanning became the performer of children's and teenage roles in the cinema. All prophesied to her a great future.
All actors who played roles in Maleficent received excellent reviews from critics, and Mary Fanning was no exception. Her work was rated very highly, she played her role at 16 years old. In adolescence, the actress perfectly performed the task of the director.
