The speaker discusses the Disney movie Aladdin, particularly focusing on the character Aladdin's wish to become a prince to marry Princess Jasmine. They argue that this wish doesn't work in either the original 1993 version or the live-action remake, as Jasmine is unimpressed and Aladdin is eventually recognized as a street rat.
The speaker then delves into the historical and political context of the movie, identifying Agrabah as likely part of the Ottoman Empire. They discuss the complexities of the Ottoman political system, including the Sultanate, the provinces called eyallets, and the districts called sanjaks. They argue that Aladdin's wish to become a prince wouldn't be respected in Agrabah, as it would be seen as a minor title.
The speaker suggests that Aladdin's best wish would be for Jasmine to become the Sultan, as this would allow her to change the law and marry whomever she wanted. They argue that this wish wouldn't create the same crisis of succession as if Aladdin became a Sultan, and that the Ottoman Empire would have been ready to accept a female Sultan.
The speaker concludes by suggesting that Aladdin's best bet is to wish for Jasmine to get her power, as this would effectively promote a strong female theme. They end with a call to action, encouraging viewers to subscribe to their YouTube channel to help them get more views and diamond play button.
