dark fairy tale

Kadin 2022-04-19 09:01:50

DISNEY's subversive work. Everyone loses more or less in order to realize their dreams. Cinderella wants to change her life, but doesn't know if marrying the prince is the right thing to do. Jack wants his mother to live a good life with his cow friends, and in the end, to prove himself, he makes a big mistake. Little Red Riding Hood wanted to pursue an adventure and accompany her life. The witch has been living in the shadow of her mother, and she wants her daughter to continue to live under her control. The baker relies on his wife to prove himself. The wife did not resist the temptation and accompanies her life. Prince's love is easy and can be given to many people. It is indeed a dark fairy tale, reflecting the various struggles of people in the process of growing up.
The scene that left the deepest impression on me was when everyone faced the giants, accusing each other. Everyone inadvertently puts themselves in danger for their own desires. Like the butterfly effect. Bodhisattvas fear the cause, and ordinary people fear the effect.

Into the Woods quotes

  • Baker: As the Prince anxiously waited, the stepmother took matters, and Florinda's foot, into her own hands.

    Florinda: Careful, my toe!

    Stepmother: Darling, I know!

    Florinda: What will we do?

    Stepmother: It'll have to go/but when you're his bride/you can sit or ride/you'll never need to walk!

    [cuts off Florinda's toe and Florinda screams in pain]

    Baker: Minus one toe, Florinda mounted the Prince's horse, unaware of the blood dripping from the slipper. Lucinda was next...

    Lucinda: Why won't it fit?

    Stepmother: Darling, be still/cut off a bit of the heel and it will/and when you're his wife/you'll have such a life/you'll never need to walk!

    [cuts of Lucinda's heel and Lucinda screams in pain]

    Baker: Minus a heel, Lucinda did her best to swallow the pain.

    Stepmother: It's a perfect fit your highness!

    [Lucinda faints]

  • Jack: Magic what type of magic?

    Baker's Wife: Tell him.

    Baker: Magic that, uh, defies description.
