The Beauty of her Soul

A analysis of the ending of The Little Mermaid By Hans Christian Andersen (in video)

This is The Beauty of Her Soul a very self-explanatory but deeper look into the ending of the 1975 film version of The Little Mermaid By Hans Christian Anderson as told by the makers of this version of the film from 1975.

I think it is one of the most beautiful accounts of somewhat utopian, but not unreachable ideal full of integrity & morals, love, heaven, the soul and friendship.

It has its obvious Platonic references in it, but it’s almost like an alternative to enlightenment.

The Little Mermaid offers a dark side to leaving the cave, what happens when you can not integrate the light into your old reality and things don’t go exactly to plan. Well, to start, we are all likely to fall out of rhythm with the patterns of the universe if this occurs and we will lose the ability to sing or harmonise these unfortunate consequences of leaving the cave can potentially lead us to a premature death as well, one way or another. This is a fatal situation people get into with very little helping hands when in it. Spiritual Awakenings while can contain amazing new experiences of bliss, they can also have very isolating sides to them that some people may not be able to handle very well. I was in this situation once and I handled it very destructively, but I didn’t know what to do.

Everything changes so fast after these events, so fast that sometimes it’s too hard to keep u with them and accommodate our current reality into it (not the other way around), plus the fact that you are a brand new person all of a sudden, or you can also become a nobody but it should be in a good way.

I definitely believe The Little Mermaid comments on this scenario and there is a great book directly about this topic by a lady named Anna (sorry last name is hard to remember), who is Australian, The book is called ”The Dark Side of Dharma.”

I watched an interview with the writer Anna yesterday. The book is very intense, so reading it and understanding it, I’m having to read and summarise in my own words a lot to make sure I don’t miss ideas, which means I’m not very far through it yet ha. However, watching the interview about it, it’s a much-needed look at what can happen after unexpected spiritual events occur in your life, which can leave you very misunderstood by those around you.

While dealing with the complex problem of how to place these unexpected events within the time and space of this current reality, there is the definite and most likely possibility you will isolate yourself doing it. This is a big part of the dark side of dharma.

I don’t think this summary of the ending to the tragedy “The Beauty of Her Soul,” will ruin the movie for you if you haven’t watched it before. The story is pretty well known anyway, and the ending is where I believe we as the audience get to feel and learn the most from this classic story that has been one of my favourites since I was maybe 6 or 7 years old.

I started writing out the transcript of the 1975 movie to publish a copy to give to my niece for Christmas, and maybe print some to sell as part of my Flawless/Suicidal Publishing Label’s book sales section. I think it is for both children and adults and I will publish a few for the label but I would prefer to publish an essay on the allegorical side of The Little Mermaid.

I recommend watching any version of the film, Andersen’s version is more moralistic in my opinion and I have always enjoyed a tragedy over a comedy. My favourite films are Brown Bunny, Dogville and Blue Velvet. lol. I think Blue Velvet might be a comedy but depends on your humour, in my opinion. The Disney version of The Little Mermaid is very beautiful also though and I have a lot of love for it. I will always adore that frozen Jew’s work, Walt! Disney is one of my favourite things still today.

Here is the MP4 book - If it goes too fast just press pause in between, it is just an MP4 of the pages of the concept (draft 1).
