I have seen many lengthy descriptions of their favorite character; I have yet to see a Violet
one. I decided to write one in dedication to my favorite character of The Incredibles.
Violet is one of
the more impacting characters in the movie. You all saw this when she was at school and the boy who she really
likes appears. In turn, she disappears. This shows the audience that she was a very shy person beause she
literaly vanished when Tony wondered who was staring at him.
Next was the Dinner scene. Although many
familes can relate to the dinner scene, I think Violet was the one that stood out to me. You can all ready tell
by her face, hair and clothes that she was an insecure girl. Many teenagers out there can relate to her. I found
it very hilarious when Dash and Violet were fighting. Although she got slapped a few times, her force fields can
make a great offensive force against Dash’s speed and overagressiveness. Her last lines of the dinner scene
explained why she was so “emo” about her life. All she yearned for was to be normal and her powers were
only a curse to her.
I found it surprising to find Violet eavesdropping on her parents arguement. There is
a lot that I can say, but I’ll only talk about a couple points. One, when her parents send her to bed, I guess
this feeling that she knew something was up with her parents and probably was afriad of her parents getting a
divorce. Also, that scene prove her invisibility is a good power to have when sneaking around the house. I
believe this made many fans wonder Violet’s past life when she was a super in diapers and as a kid.
There
is nothing much to say about Violet durring the “Life’s Incredible Again”. All I can say is how cute
does Violet look when her parents flurt around the house? I’m sure she felt very embarassed.
I’m sure
Violet is a good girl who obeys her parents. When her mom told her that she was going away, she placed her in
charge, I think that she would find it odd that her parents have been acting very stange lately. So when she
finds out about the Super suit E made, and found out about it’s wonderful ability to turn invisible whenever she
does, I believe that was when her curiousity got the best of her and that’s when she decided to stow away on the
plane.
I don’t know exactly how Violet got on to the plane or whose idea it was. The best theory I have
ever came across was Dash’s story located on his deviantart profile. When Helen fouund out, I found it hilarious
to se the teenager trying to put the blame on her little brother. Durring the missile lock sequence, I was
totally on the edge of my seat. Sweat drove down my face as I hoped for Violet to be alright. I noticed how
insecure and restricted she felt when her mother commanded her to put up a force field to defend the plane. It
was a shame that she failed and Elastigirl had to save them instead. To make things worse, I was also at the edge
of my seat when Violet was falling in the air. I was glad to see Helen save their lives once again.
I know
how hard the hair simulation is for Violet is, especially with water hair. I’m sure the underwater, abovewater,
submerging and emerging from the water shots were hard but I must say they were good. It was also funny to see
Violet panic and her mother had to splash water in her face to calm her down. It was also intresting to see
Violet grousing over the fact that she did not suceed in daving her family from death. And while floating toward
the island, a nice shot of Violet curled up into a tiny ball was quiet emotional.
Brad Bird said in the
commentary version that he had an idea of Violet looking at Helen praising Dash in regret, shame and remorse.
I’m sure he would after she failed to use her force field. To make matters worse, she was placed in charge of
taking care of her brother in a dangerous place and a jepordizing situation. At first, she was scared and unsure
that she could do it. The mother/daughter talk outside the cave was the most powerful part in the entire movie.
First Violet confessing her guilt, followed with the heart impacting, eye tearing talk her mother gave. Violet
looked so cute and so insecure. But when her mother brushed her hair behind the ear, finished her talk, and when
she placed on her mask, I believe that the climax of Violet’s character change had just reached its
highpoint.
As soon as she got back into the cave, she started practing her powers. It kinda got a little
tense when Syndrome launched the rocket that almost killed the kids. Fortunately, Violet escaped with her life.
It was an unusual moment to see Dash sleeping on Violet, a rather wierd bonding moment indeed. When she woke,
more trouble occured. Both she and Dash had to run for their lives. When the gaurds were released into the
jungle, I was nervous that they were going to get caught and killed. I was happy to know that she had something
the gaurds didn’t, Invisibility and Force Fields, both came in handy for avioding the gaurds. It was also good
to use to even land a few shots on the guard, even though she got knocked to the ground and almost killed while
hiding underwater. When her brother Dash saved her life, everyone in the audience should’ve figured out that the
brother/sister rivalry was over. It showed when Violet leapt in front of Dash to block the bullets as wel. This
also introduced Violet’s new ability to defy gravity inside her force field. With the combined power of Dash and
Violet, the formed the ultimate tag team move, the Incrediball. Of course, add a little mundane and the
Incrediball runs into Violet’s parents. Th reunited family hugs and that was when the bad guys come back. Apart,
Violet was just Super. Together with her family, that would equal an Incredible fighting force. But not after
watching her parents doing what they did best in their hayday. And after some more embassing moments of "I
love you". I really hated it that Syndrome had to take a cheap shot and totally immobilize the family. It
sickens me to see Vilet held in a prison containment unit like that. She is only a girl for goodness
sake.
But like most bad guys, just when you think you had your nemesis caught, they surprise you again.
Violet was no exception. Because of her force field, even Syndrome’s unique binding device could not hold
Violet. After her way of saying “you are forgiven dad”, she sets her family free. During the oart
where the family ran down the hall, I was so excited and so pumped up. In my opinion, I think Violet is a very
smart girl. I mean, she knew how to get a rocket to where ever you want, even if you can’t fly
one.
“Road Trip” is like a lot of road trips you guys must have taken with your family. But
Violet’s road trip with her Super family was like nothing like she ever experienced. I hate being deatailed, but
she pressed that button with great authority. She buckled her seatbelt like she was about to go on a rollar
coster she has never been on before. And how appropreate, it was to the family and even the audience. There was
that sense of fear and exhileration we all get before desending down to earth, twists and turns, even a big loud
scream from a girl. Everyone out there should know that I am talking about Violet. And at the end of the
“Road Trip Rollar Coaster”, Violet was so excited and felt so exhilerated.
I believe Violet
noticed that her parents have finally settled their problems after she witnessed the long kiss her parents
shared. Then the romantic moment is interupted by an out of control robot. If it weren’t for Violet’s force
field. I believe that each time Violet’s force field takes a devestating hit, she would grow weaker and her
energy decrease. That probably explains why Violet got knocked out when the Omnidroid bashed the force field,
that hit Violet on the head. I was scared when Violet laid there unconscious and with the Omnidroid about to
crush her. I was relieved when her dad and mom saved her. I was glad when Violet assured her mom that she was
okay and when she crawled over to observe her family fighting. She played a key role in defeating the Omnidroid.
Thanks to her, the remote was in the grasp of her family. I laughed to see her stuggle with the remote, then just
pressed a random button that. . . well worked. The courage attribute was show when she refused to run away. And
just like that, the Omnidroid had been defeated. Anyone can hypothisize how Violet really felt after recieving
the glory from her first ever Super Hero work. Some could say she was excited, estatic, or maybe a little
embarassed.
I don’t doubt that Violet was listening to what Rick and Bob were talking about while dribing
home. Each relationship (mother/dughter, brother/sister, father/daughter) was completed when her dad complemented
her wearing her hair back. That showed that Volet had finally emerged from her shell. Even though Dash was rater
excited after his first hero work, I’m sure Violet just ignored him. I mean, it’s her little brother, what more
can you say?
When Violet and her family ran into the house, I was once again shocked to see Syndrome
invade their home and blasted her with the immobi-ray. I felt hopeless watching Violet immobilized and watching
her and her family getting thrown on to the Kitchen furniture. Come on dude, She is only a girl. Hurting one
isn’t right. When she dashed outside, helpless in saving her brother, I too felt her emotions. It was rather
nice to see her react to Syndrome’s threats and his eventual death. I felt really proud of her when she
protected her family when she threw a force field to block the falling debris. Great job Violet. Great
improvement from the plane scene.
Well, after that adventure, we now see everyone’s favorite teenage
heroine wearing brighter colors (pink shirt and headband) and her hair out of her face. That was when Tony came
up, of couse, everyone should remember him as Violet’s crush. That feeling still stuck with her thoughout the
entire movie. As you can observe, she found the courage to talk to him. Ironicly, Tony was just as shy of her
just as she was of him in the begining of the film. Even Violet asked Tony out instead of him asking her. All it
took to find VIolet’s confidence was a chance to shine. It was hilarious when she was cheering for her brother.
Speed up, slow down, speed up. . . wow. As the family walked happily out, the Underminer shows up. This surprises
the family, but when I saw Violet place her mask on with indominable spirit, I knew she was ready to fight crime
with her family.
There, I’m done. I’ll stop for a little while and work on my fanfic.
But I really believe in what I said above.
