[0:00]Ever wondered if Mother Gothel ever truly loved Rapunzel in Tangled? Throughout the movie, whenever Gothel shows love to Rapunzel, it's always directed at her hair, not Rapunzel herself. For example, in one scene, she kisses Rapunzel's hair, and in another, she calls her "my little flower," a clear reference to the magical sunflower that meant so much to her. There's also a subtle visual detail: When they talk, Gothel is reflected in Rapunzel's eyes, symbolizing that Rapunzel loves her. But Rapunzel is never reflected in Gothel's eyes. She doesn't truly see her. Now compare that to Eugene. Whenever he's affectionate, he brushes her hair away just to see her face, and in his eyes, we see Rapunzel reflected because he loves her above all else. And yet despite everything, there's a heartbreaking moment, just a split second when Rapunzel reaches out to save Gothel, even after she stabs Eugene. It's so quick you might miss it, but it shows how deeply emotional abuse can affect someone.
