      Fairy stories that have nothing to do with fairies

      I was instantly attracted by the gorgeous big poster, and its name touched my curiosity even more. If there were only the word "strange", I would think it followed suit; if there were only the word "genie", I would think it was curious; if there were only the word "event book", I would think that the director had read too many Japanese manga. However, when the three words add up, a chemical effect occurs, causing me to have to press the "download" button.

      What a fresh and tender water spirit~

      When I first started watching it, I thought this was so familiar! Of course, this familiarity is not as familiar as when Sister Lin met Brother Bao. However, that fresh and tender water spirit makes people want to hug him and pinch him twice. After seeing it, I suddenly woke up. I buckle! Isn't this Freddie Highmore from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? It turns out that Xiao Zhengtai has grown up~~ However, she is still the same cute, the same Zhengtai.

      Backlash against fairy tales - Fantasy Elf Event Book, Pan's Labyrinth, Goblin Forest (Hansel and Gretel)

      For many people born in the 1980s, the earliest sexual fantasy objects are probably Snow White in beautifully layered skirts and a prince with flowing blonde hair riding a white horse. Of course, these are high-level fantasy objects, and this kind of imagination is purely lofty . Therefore, in addition to this group of bright, miserable images such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, and the little mermaid will occasionally appear in the fantasy gap to fill the gap caused by the contrast. The general...

      I just miss it suddenly

      It's two o'clock on September 28th. Five hours ago, I spent an hour and a half reviewing this movie that I can't remember when I saw it. It was purely for Heimer, because ten hours ago, I Just watched him growing up at the Bates Hotel. Life is always dramatic, and those who are supposed to live forever in the pure and beautiful are always willing to surprise people in another state, Freddie Highmore is. The tomato weapon makes my stomach acid, and suddenly I feel that giving up dinner is a very...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. When Heimer received the invitation of "Chroniques de Spiderwick", he was still scared to stand upside down. It is indeed not easy for him to play twins alone, but his spatial imagination is very strong, and he stretches his teeth and claws into the air. The yelling one-man show completely exceeded director Mark Waters' expectations. Because on the set, he always stood in two different positions to perform the same scene, and the...
