In the narration at the beginning, if the protagonist of the story is a child, he is too old, and if he is an adult, he is too young. This is a metaphor for a teenager who has lost his fairy tale innocence and begins to calmly and objectively understand life. The first story (Prince and Queen - there is no absolute good or bad), the queen is nostalgic for the feeling of being a queen, the prince cannot inherit the throne before the legal age, and does not accept his step-grandmother (very young) to marry him, he She fled with her sweetheart, and finally came under the yew tree (tree man), and lied that the queen sent someone to kill her sweetheart at night, led the anger of the subjects to the palace, drove the queen away, and actually killed the prince. It's just that he wants to borrow the power of his subjects who love him. The story is so bad, you're lying to me. No, the story is true, and a lot of the truth sounds like a lie. The subjects got the monarch he wanted, and the prince's sweetheart died so innocently and tragically, and sometimes the witch should be saved. (changing Connor's preconceived notions of fairy tales, witches aren't all bad) And isn't the queen an evil witch? No, she could also become evil later. Then why save her because she is not the murderer. So, who is the good guy? Neither the good nor the bad will always exist, most people are somewhere in between. Will this story you tell get me out of my grandmother? No, it's not your grandma that you need to get rid of... Dad took Connor to play for a long time, and he was very happy, but when he got to grandma's house, Connor asked Dad why you came back, and his dad didn't say anything for a long time. (Connor doesn't get along with his grandmother, and wants to go to his father's home in Los Angeles, but he has to live with his stepmother and has a younger sister, but his father doesn't agree, because of economic reasons and because Connor has lived here since he was a child. Nina thinks his dad is unreliable, he's moody, he feels bullied at school, and there's no place for him at home) The second story (Priest and Pharmacist - The Power of Faith) is about the industrial age, the pharmacist He also made medicine in the old way and he was grumpy and stubborn, the priest was kind-hearted and preached, but against the old way of making medicine, the business of the pharmacist was getting worse and worse. One day, the pastor's two lovely daughters fell ill, modern medicine is useless, prayer is useless, and finally can only ask a pharmacist. The pharmacist said that you spoke ill of me, that I lost my business, and that the yew tree in your yard was the best medicinal material and didn't give it to me. The pastor said, as long as my daughter is healed, take it all. The pharmacist said again, are you willing to give up everything you believe in? The pastor said that as long as his daughter was healed, she could give up anything. In the end, the daughter died, and the priest was destroyed by the tree man. The tree man said to Connor that faith is half the healing, faith in healing, faith in the future to come Faith, belief is invaluable. At first, Connor thought that the bad guy the tree man was talking about meant the pharmacist. After the tree man told him what his beliefs were, he asked him what he was going to destroy next. So you (Mom and Dad) haven't lived happily ever after? That's life, you see, most people just get a mess out of it, that's fine. If you are the tree of healing, I want you to save people. (pointing to mom) I will. (points to Connor) Dad said I'll be back as soon as possible. How fast? Dad: ...It's okay Dad: What's okay? Actually, you don't have to embarrass yourself. (I began to understand that everyone has difficulties and difficult to read.) After Connor broke everything in the living room, Grandma just looked at him mournfully, walked to the little house in the attic alone and cried, Connor looked through the keyhole on. Grandma was in the room watching a home video of her daughter drawing with her grandson. It was also a tape sent to Connor's father. The sound woke Conner, who watched from behind the door. When we were finally rushing to the hospital, Grandma told Connor that although we didn't get along very well, we had to learn to get along well. But we have at least one thing in common, we all love your mom. The third story (The Invisible Man - Facing Setbacks and Difficulties) is about an invisible man who is not invisible, and who is tired of the days when no one can see him, but people are used to ignoring him. He thought about a question, if no one could see him, would he still exist? Eventually he summoned his inner monster to attract attention. He shrank when his mother told him that his condition was getting worse, that he couldn't see him growing up and wanted to shake his hand. Mom said: Connor, when you think back to the day you didn't want to talk to me, you have to remember, it's okay, I understand, I understand what you have to say. If you want to destroy something, go for it. I really wish I could live to be a hundred years old and be able to accompany you for a hundred years. (When I watched it with my mother, I felt depressed. When I watched it for the second time, I felt very warm and helpless. In the face of illness, I didn’t feel like I wanted to go to the cinema. It's heartbreaking) It's not her that I'm trying to save, it's you, Connor. The tree man asked Connor to tell his story, the fourth story, the nightmare he imagined was that his mother told him not to let go, but he couldn't hold his mother's hand on the cliff, he couldn't hold on anymore, he said he let him go Mom fell. In the end, under the coercion of the tree man, he swallowed his tears and said that I wanted to end it all. I couldn't watch my mother go helplessly. fall down. The tree man rescued him again, you're so brave, Kang Na, you finally said it. Why not let me die, I should be punished. Yeah? I always knew she couldn't make it, she always told me she'd be okay because that's what I wanted to hear. I thought I believed her, but I didn't. The thought of letting this all end makes me feel so lonely and suffocated. Do you want to end it all, even if you lose her? It was my fault, I could have held on but I gave up on her again. This is the truth, Conor O'Malley. But I don't want that, now it's all come true and it's all my fault. But that's not the case, you just want to end the pain, your own pain, a lot of people think that way. I did not do it on purpose. You did it on purpose, (as cruel as it was) and unintentionally. How is that possible? Why is the prince a murderer, but he is loved by his people? Why do pharmacists have a bad temper but have a firm belief? Why do invisible people feel more lonely after being seen by everyone? I don't know, the stories you tell are nonsense. Haha because humans are complex animals. Humans believe in beautiful lies, but they are also aware of cruel truths, which is why lies exist. All in all, Connor, it doesn't matter what you think, it matters what you do. So what should I do? Tell the truth. Like just now? Do you find it easy to do this? But you just would rather die than say it. I'm so tired, it's all boring me. Then go to sleep, there is time. What is the end of the fourth story? It was he who hugged his mother tightly, opened up his heart and learned to let go and let her go. Back at grandma's house, grandma gave Connor a key. The room in the attic belongs to you. Connor walked in. In addition to his mother's photo frame and everything, there was also a picture book of his mother when he was a child. There were 3 stories told by the tree man to Connor, and finally the little girl sat on the tree man's shoulders. (The image of the tree man, the CCTV film critic Ren has three interpretations, one is imagination, the inner demon in the boy's heart, the most primitive and true self-protection power, and the other is the patron saint of Connor and his mother, because his mother also Knowing the existence of the tree man, and my grandfather may have passed away because of this genetic disease, so that his mother and the tree man were guarded, and the third is that Connor went through this experience again, and how did he heal it) And the role of Connor The child's actor's mother also died a year before the film was made. It was really cruel. I wonder if the actor was cured like Connor in the film. Because his mother has also gone through all this, the tree man is dubbed to play the grandfather that Connor has never met, but
