real fairy tale

When I first saw the title, I always thought it was an adventure children's film, in which a few children meet monsters and then start an adventure. Later, while on vacation, I watched it with Mama. Of course, once a movie that gives me the impression of "I didn't expect it to be..." is not bad, it means that the impression is not bad.

Looking at the whole movie, I actually captured a sense of literature and art. I love the storytelling effect of the yew tree. The picture is very abstract, with little people who can't see their faces spinning and jumping. I quite like the first story, it's simple and a bit like a dark fairy tale. The prince in the fairy tale is not a concentration camp with a shining halo of integrity and kindness, but has a scheming and powerful means. And the villainous stepmother in the fairy tale turns out to be just a widowed woman who hasn't had time to turn bad. Everything can't be seen on the surface. It seems that there is no fun in explaining such a truth in a romantic fairy tale.

But the first story is the mildest, and the more you go on, the more exciting the story becomes.
