The speaker discusses the Disney movie Aladdin, comparing it to a romantic song. They mention the song "When Did You Last Let Your Heart Decide" and the lyrics "Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling through an endless diamond sky". They also mention the character Jasmine and her relationship with Aladdin.
The speaker then introduces themselves as a YouTube content creator, Film Theory, and talks about their recent viewing of the live-action Aladdin movie. They express surprise at the amount of screen time dedicated to the genie's crush on Jasmine, and contemplate the physics of genie-human relations.
They discuss the movie's wishing system, specifically Aladdin's first wish to become a prince. They argue that this wish doesn't work in either the original 1993 version or the live-action remake, and question what Aladdin should have wished for instead.
The speaker delves into the historical and political context of the movie, discussing the Sultanate of Agrabah and the Ottoman Empire. They speculate on the best wish Aladdin could have made to marry Jasmine and live happily ever after, considering the rules and constraints of the universe established in the film.
They conclude by suggesting that Aladdin should wish for Jasmine to become the Sultan, which would allow her to change the law and marry whomever she wanted. They argue that this wish would not create the same crisis of succession as if Aladdin became a Sultan, and that the Ottoman Empire would have accepted a female Sultan in the 16th and 17th centuries.
