Every Disney princess image can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because they are not princesses in the general sense, but princesses who have stepped down from the altar. Like ordinary girls, they will be sad, angry, betrayed and doubted when they encounter setbacks. The identity of her has made them bear more burdens, and fate will not treat her differently because she is a princess. Clara is such a character in it, from a little girl with a bad family to suddenly become a princess of the highest status in a fantasy world, suddenly sought after and loved by everyone, does this huge change in identity make her lost? ? She can choose to abandon the original awkward family and become a princess in a place that is better and more fantastic than the world she used to live in. It should be almost every young girl's dream to enjoy endless luxury and the pursuit of thousands of people. . But at the beginning of the film, it was emphasized that the first soldier she met said that she felt very happy because she knew her position. Many people who were addicted to the illusion were confused and devoured by endless desires. Although Clara was confused at that time, but in the In the end, she found her right home, made the most valuable choice under various pressures and temptations, returned to her family, comforted her injured father, and changed her attitude to feel the warmth of the family again. In the illusory adventure, home is also a place where she can relax. Because in the illusory world, she is still alive and awake.

The reason why princesses make people yearn is because they have valuable qualities and the courage to pursue beauty.

Although not to mention the many defects of the plot, and there is not much introduction about the four kingdoms except for a few scenes (it would be better if you can talk about the historical background and customs of each kingdom in detail, because the four fantasy The setting of the kingdom itself is very interesting), but the movie is really very beautiful, it is the kind of dreamy beauty that belongs to Disney, detailed pictures, luxurious scenes, expensive costumes, ballet performances... These can be The beauty I see is all attached to my imagination. What I have to admire is all kinds of imagination. Every little bit can make young girls and old aunts with girlish hearts want to stop. The ordinary opening and the fairy tale ending, even if the plot is not polished enough, it can still make the audience after watching the movie immersed in this beautiful imagination, because it fits with the quiet fantasy of the girls, if there really exists in the world In such a world, I will definitely give everything I can to pursue the feeling. However, the experience of watching movies varies from person to person, and audiences who like movies of a certain theme will have a special complex for it.

In addition, I think it would be better if this movie could talk about more. The title of the movie has four kingdoms, but there are too few about these four kingdoms in the film.

For example, in the Candy Kingdom, the food of the residents here are all sweets, people will plant candy trees, the house is made of candy, and even the air has a sweet taste;

Snowflake Kingdom, the snow here is not particularly cold. Every building is an ice sculpture. At night, the ice surface will emit a blue light. There are all kinds of snowflakes here that can be made into jewelry and worn around the hands and necks;

Flower Kingdom, residents can live in a big flower, can use the flower as a table and chair, the nectar produced will be sold to the Candy Kingdom as a must for planting candy trees, and the flowers here will never wither, all flowers will be in all seasons of the year. open together

The fourth kingdom should be more mysterious, it can be a city of eternal night.
