Red Riding Hood: Traditional Fairy Tale

Christelle 2022-06-14 11:22:42

This movie is about selfish suspicion and ugly human nature in a fixed small circle. Betrayal, ridicule, deceit, escape, suspicion, killing; relatives, lovers, friends, and neighbors are not to be trusted, whether it is a close friend who can tell secrets, a lover who is close to each other, or parents and brothers and sisters who get along day and night, everyone is possible. It's a wolf in human skin, and everyone has their secrets. Human nature is inherently evil, and a village with simple folk customs is still reduced to such a level when an unknown disaster strikes, and the world of modern people are not like this. See the big from the small, and see the micro-knowledge.

When it comes to the plot, the werewolf's father has his problems. The underground werewolf who had been a well-behaved werewolf for 20 years suddenly developed the menopausal syndrome. He wanted to take his eldest daughter to the city to be happy, and finally found his daughter who had been raised for more than ten years. It wasn't his own, so he killed the baby and injured his wife in a fit of anger. This is too abrupt, the director did not explain the werewolf's mental process clearly, if the explanation is in place, it will add color to the storyline.

As for the question that bothers everyone who is the real werewolf, the grass snake and the gray line, and the veins are thousands of miles away. Before the ending is announced, according to various details, I firmly believe that it is Peter from beginning to end. When the werewolf talks to Valerie for the first time, he mentions that she is of the same nature like him, "desire to leave", which is the same thing Peter said when he encouraged Valerie to elope with him; "desire to kill", referring to her childhood Kill the hare, this is the scene when little Peter and little Valerie are together in the title; when the film gives close-up shots, the image in Valerie's eyes is the scene where Peter and her eloped in the snow; the bishop came to the village to ask for During the search, Peter told her to leave, otherwise they would "discover" it. But...but why did the werewolf end up being Valerie's father! The director thinks the jump is too big.

So, there's a fault in there. A love story is a love story. It has nothing to do with the last werewolf. At most, it acts as a gimmick for a werewolf candidate for suspicion and a handsome guy and beauty to attract the audience. I hate this kind of love story that is added to add color to the story, either completely let the fierce werewolf and the beautiful protagonist entangle or don't add a bunch of rambling love triangles.

There are still a lot of innocuous bugs in the movie: I am puzzled by the smell of musk on werewolves, isn't musk only a thing of stags; according to common sense in Twilight, Jacob is afraid of losing money on clothes Bro, after transforming, he always rolls up his clothes and ties them on his legs so that he can wear them back into a human form, so why do Valerie's father's clothes look good after transforming; the most obvious flaw is that werewolves are afraid Lord Bishop's silver nails, as expected, the director Catherine Hardwick, who had filmed Twilight, was fascinated by the vampire theme.

As for the actress...Amanda Seyfried, many people say she is a beautiful woman, but an actress with such big eyes always gives people the feeling of being sluggish and lacking aura. After looking at it for a long time, it is terrifying that the whites of her eyes are all over the place. Blonde and blue eyes are very beautiful, but this big-eyed and thick-lipped girl is like the stupid country girl who has no opinion in Eastern European countries. (Although Valerie is a very sharp and decisive girl who dares to love and hate in the movie)

How can Henry, a young socialist young man played by Max Irons, have any shadow of the blacksmith's son? I believe it is the rich second generation of the playboy, but the blacksmith should forget it. Max Irons's father is Jeremy Irons, a veteran acting school, he was a male model who appeared in Burberry's 150th-anniversary advertisement, and he was also the head of the men's HE series of Mango09 autumn and winter! It's no wonder that in the play, there is always a noble son's style, and there is no feeling of the boy next door. He gives the impression that he looks like a high school classmate of mine, especially with the blurred little eyes that look cute after a long time. There are comments that he is Bambi, haha ​​is appropriate.

Gary Oldman...heartbroken acridine...because the god horse is so handsome in Harry Potter, Sirius, in Little Red Riding Hood is a wretched little curly hair sitting in an iron cage carriage and wearing a copper elephant that imitates the Trojan horse. Bian'er's ruthless priest? ! Could this be the so-called breakthrough of the self-destructive image?

The shape of the werewolf is also not attractive enough, not realistic enough, and not dynamic enough. This movie was released in March 2011, and the computer technology is still not so good. It is not comparable to the 2008 Twilight series.

But then again, although there are many points in this movie that are not logically correct, the original intention of watching the movie is not to pick on others' thorns. It's good to have fun watching it, and it satisfies the perverts who have been chasing gothic movies recently. Hobbies, by the way, insert the roaring post: It is not forced by the scumbag graduation thesis, Nima's dark romanticism, vampire, Dracula, Victoria era... . It's fun to rant though.

I think the most remarkable thing about this movie is that it is quite new to use the traditional fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood to make a werewolf when both vampires and werewolves have been filmed badly. However, the rewriting of traditions and classics has always been a very challenging thing, just look at the new version of A Dream of Red Mansions. And the style of the whole film is very dark romantic style, gothic atmosphere, stalking voyeur-style shots, heart-wrenching soundtrack, dark mountains, bloody moon, shadows, firelight, weird twisted and unreasonable monsters, running through Isn't the dazzling scarlet color of Little Red Riding Hood in the whole movie just implying the death and blood of the devil? Then again, the picture effects are handled well, and it caters to a superficial rookie like me who must first choose the screen to make the layout and props at the first sight of the movie. The poster is also very scary, gothic, and very emotional.

As for the seemingly happy ending of the dog's blood, I feel sorry for Henry very much. The handsome and handsome young man likes Valerie very much, but the way is very gentle. If he is rejected by his lover, he is desperate to protect her. She is willing to block the sword for her, but she cannot get love. Just choose to be a knight and protect the villagers for the rest of your life. As for the sad werewolf father, who was killed by Little Red Riding Hood and Peter without hesitation, I felt so chilled when I saw the look in his daughter's eyes and her actions afterward. It would be more acceptable for the baby to stand aside.

In the last scene of Little Red Riding Hood holding the newborn baby on the snow in front of the cabin and looking at Peter, who first appeared in the form of a wolf in the jungle, is far away from afar. In my opinion, it is a bloody expression of the words of the season: people who love each other. will meet again.
