The tangled ending, the tangled Jesse, and the tangled me.

If you don't know much about Disney's animated films, the ending of "Bridge to Wonderland" may seem confusing at first, and Leslie slowly begins to open his heart and quietly go away in Jesse - about this, There have always been two kinds of arguments: "realistic fantasy theory" and "angel theory":

"real fantasy theory" believes that the various encounters of the two in the forest are just Jesse's fantasy under the authoritarian father's oppression and the sarcasm of classmates. As a child, Jesse was very miserable. I have had a similar experience (not necessarily as miserable as Jesse, even if it is unwilling - this word is too heavy for children), after receiving bullying, scolding from elders and many other things, I will have fantasies, some Fairies, monsters, mana, flying, changing, martial arts... and so on. In terms of the calmness and bravery of the two young protagonists when they encountered those "weird and chaotic" things in the forest, this point of view has some truth. Jesse is a cowardly child who is often mocked by his classmates but dare not fight back, but when he encounters a monster in the forest, he can suddenly act witty and even a little brave. Perhaps this is conceivable for Leslie, but This is incomprehensible and unacceptable to Jesse, who is usually weak. As a reasonable explanation, this is Jesse's fantasy under the weight of reality. If you only consider these, the "real fantasy theory" does have some truth.

And "Angel Says" thinks Leslie is an angel sent by God to help Jesse open his heart, complete the task and return to heaven. Before explaining "Angel Says", it is necessary to introduce some background knowledge. The movie "Bridge to Wonderland" is based on Katherine Peterson's memory of her son's childhood playmate Lisa. Lisa accompanied her son through a very happy time. Time, after being killed, the author is very grateful to Lisa, which we can see from the novel she wrote in honor of Lisa. In addition, the animated film style of Disney Studios can be roughly summarized into the following keywords: warm, magical, imaginative, full of justice and other positive adjectives. Judging from these background knowledge, it is probably difficult to imagine that the author who is full of gratitude to Leslie's prototype Lisa, Disney, who has always shown people with warmth, will give people a tragic ending. We can also draw this from the many hints in the movie -

1, the arrival of Leslie
Leslie seemed to have an interest in Jesse when he first arrived. Participated in a run that only boys took part in. Although a boy told her at the beginning, she still participated without caring. When running, it was a bit faster than the average classmates imagined. At the beginning, Leslie was behind. This was a sprint and sprint-type contempt. That is to say, the backwardness of the starting point means the failure of the result. On the other hand, Leslie didn’t care about the start, and after that, he easily passed the others (Okay! Sad! I participated in the 200 meters before, and it was really a step down, step by step, and I got a penultimate place. One!) After the run, Leslie deliberately walked up to Jesse and stretched out his hand to show his goodbye - pay attention, Leslie said very easily, his face was not red and his heart was not beating (of course, this can't be seen, take it for granted) ). All right! Our inner little boy, Jesse, hurts his self-esteem and ignores the little girl who surpassed him. Be careful, she is still a little beauty!
All right! Leslie doesn't care, don't care! Ugh! The landlord recently lost his love, and I deeply feel that this don't care attitude hurts people, no less than a scolding.

However, life has to go on! The owner's grief slowly healed. We continue below!

2. Leslie's composition
It is necessary to briefly introduce the content of Leslie's composition, and then make a middle school teacher's analysis of Lu Xun's article on the content:
I slowly swim forward
in this empty, beautiful and mysterious place. In the world,
I swim quietly, ah, the
world is so quiet, only the sound of my breathing
, there is a little light on
my head, where I came from, where
I'm going back,
I'm a diver (bad translation, to be fixed) in In the water
I will swim to the depths of the sea, over the stones and weeds ahead
The water there is bluer, and the fish there is silver
. Ah swim, like a naughty jellyfish, slipping little bubbles
But I still have to go back
This world is so wonderful, and my time is so little
It is precisely because of this, this journey, that it is so special to me

- All right! Go ahead! I've been busy with next month's exams, so I can only write intermittently!

Before the teacher asked Leslie to read his composition, Leslie gave Jesse a special look (note the ambiguous look). As far as their contact goes, running together, Leslie surpasses Jesse, who hurts his self-esteem (of course, Jesse thinks) and ignores Leslie; walks home together when getting off the bus, Leslie When Leslie posted it, Jesse walked away without looking back (presumably he thought it would hurt Leslie's self-esteem! Well! I guess he's going to be disappointed) For the "real" little girl, I guess no one can stand this, right? All right! Leslie suffered, and suffered again and again, not to say that she is interested in Jesse (not handsome, not rich), only that she is not an ordinary person. Then we go back to the main topic, look at the composition of the little heroine and make a brief analysis (hehe, very familiar? Yes. This composition should be treated like a middle school teacher's attitude towards Lu Xun's article). From this article, based on the theory of "the angel said", the landlord believes that Leslie conveyed the following information in this article:
1) Where do I come from?
"There is a little light on my head."
Of course, if it is a vernacular, it can only be said that the sun on my head when diving! However, we are going to rely on "angels said" as the theoretical basis, right? right. Among the characters in Disney movies, who would have a light on their head? angel. Yes! Angel.
2) Where am I going?
"In this empty, beautiful and mysterious world"
All right! Our reasonable presumption is that this is the human world, a beautiful and mysterious world. We can also see from the deep forest where Leslie and Jesse went to the back, it is indeed an "empty, beautiful, and mysterious world" (of course, this is a later story, as a sign, we will not show it for the time being), we can't go back and forth. reverse.
3) What am I going to do?
There are no ready-made sentences in the article here. The landlord needs to summarize it. First, pick a few key words: diver, naughty, journey (free translation, see the original film for specific English), from here we can probably see that this little angel is coming down Take a walk, take a look, do something, take a short trip.
4) Where should I go back?
"Where I came from and where
I'm going back"
Here, Leslie clearly states his origin, identity, mission: heaven, angel, journey. Writing here, we can reasonably assume that Leslie came to this school, to Jesse, a little boy with low self-esteem, and took him out of the shadows in his heart to "broad (here it is necessary to interpret the English original word" The Chinese translation to redefine it), the beautiful and mysterious world". The completion of the mission is when Leslie goes back to the "shimmer" place. The later plot development also further confirmed the information revealed in Leslie's composition, or it can be said that Leslie's composition gives the basic context of the film, so that we can find the final ending of the story through this article ——Leslie returned to her own paradise, where she "come from"; and Jesse finally came out of her gloomy life under the leadership of Rice, and embraced a new life "broad, beautiful and mysterious" . All in all, the story is perfect, in keeping with the original author's gratitude for Leslie's archetype, and the usual endings of Disney's magic movies. As far as this is concerned, the so-called "reality theory" is against common sense, lack of humanity, no moral conscience, cruel and cold-blooded understanding, and it is fundamentally against the principles of Disney movies.

——The landlord is depressed again and has no mood to write. To be continued!
—— The landlord is in a better mood, but I almost forgot the plot I watched before. Thinking about it carefully, I have been writing about this worry for more than half a month, but I have been in a bad mood and I am busy with exams, so I can't write it. . In fact, I still can't write now, because the exam is on Saturday. Write something and save your character! I'll write after I'm done.
