      It's a good movie as long as it doesn't make a sequel

      After a fire, an originally happy family was reduced to ashes, leaving behind three children and an inheritance. Who would adopt them?
      The ill-intentioned uncle, Count Olif, tried every means to torture them, fight for property, and they lingered
      . In the homes of relatives who don't know each other, the truth of the matter is revealed little by little.

      Many people compare these three children with Harry Potter. They are also characters in the author's series of novels, they...

      The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snitch: The First Steps of a Journey

      It's a dark story, as it's been emphasized at the beginning of the movie.

      "The movie you are about to see may not be dreamy at all. If you want to see the happy elf, then please go to the next theater."

      "If you don't want to watch this film, just walk out of the theater or the living room, or turn off the cabin TV. Don't miss the opportunity. It's still too late to see the happy elf."

      This is a very imaginative and creative dark fairy tale. Three genius orphans meet...

      The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snitch - A Dark Fairy Tale

      It's that feeling of suffocation that never escapes the palm of my hand that hangs over me throughout the movie. Everyone who adopts them has their own thoughts. Just like this society, everyone has such thoughts. This also constitutes the complexity of this society, but everyone loves others.

      Everyone in this story has a variety of endings, which makes me wonder if it's really good to be alive?

      Maybe this is also the photography of this society. At the beginning, I also...

      the meaning of home

      This movie with a strong gothic style belongs to the dark fairy tale series. But at the end of the film, the letter that the children received was heartwarming in sadness, which was really touching.

      The letter was written by mom and dad to the children, and it finally arrived after traveling all over the place.

      〖Summary〗

      "Sometimes the world can seem very unfriendly, even very evil. But trust us, there must be more good than evil. All you have to do is wait...

      Old-fashioned plot, good-looking violet

      The title of the film is a bit confusing. After all, after watching this film, I don't know who Raymond Snitch is. Of course, Wikipedia will tell you that Ramon Snitch is the author of the novel based on the film.

      The storyline is relatively old-fashioned, but the soundtrack or something goes well with the direction of the story. The heroine, violet, looks beautiful when she doesn't wear a wedding dress and in regular clothes, which is my favorite type.

      Violet and his younger...

      It is estimated that the dubbed version I watched somewhat weakened the dark atmosphere of the film. In fact, it is quite a drama with connotations. Bankers who follow the rules intentionally or not, scientists who are too naive, intellectuals who are smart but cowardly, law enforcers who have no brains, teenagers in the predicament of the right to speak... ”, which also makes it easier for the audience to...

    Film footage

    The original author, Daniel Handler, did not want his novel to be adapted into a movie, so after the filming started, he hoped that volunteers would only buy movie tickets for the movie but not go to the cinema.
    Christie Carlson Romano was the first person to play Violet, and the casting director later caught a glimpse of Emily Browning on TV while exercising in the gym.
    Tim Burton had hoped to direct the film and appointed Johnny Depp...

    Evaluation action

    The color of the film makes the picture full of magic, the gorgeous colors are in place, and the skin color of the characters is natural and lifelike. The film set is bold and exaggerated, and the characters' shapes are also distinctive, which matches the film's relaxed and tense narrative style ( Review of "Shenyang Daily" ). 
    The film borrowed Raymond Snitch to dictate the entire story, and the screenwriter Robert Gordon made it...
