When a new life is born, a life must pass away in order to maintain the balance of the world. | Stories within stories

From the very beginning of life, we are edified by all kinds of knowledge to understand and adapt to the rules of the world. The bad and ugly are screened out by the parents and teachers applying colored paint in our blank cognition, so one after another warm, lovely and beautiful fairy tales are read again and again before we go to sleep. But as we grow older, the ugliness of the real world has not been erased by the hands of our parents and teachers. We doubted again and again, refreshed our cognition again and again, and finally had a dark fairy tale to bid farewell to our own identity. The childhood when there was only love in the knowledge.

The original version of the well-known Snow White story is the dark series. Snow White is the queen's biological daughter, and the prince molested the princess while she was sleeping. Knowing the truth, do you dare to look directly at our childhood?

"Story within a Story" is interspersed with three stories, each with its own metaphors. Although the storyline is dark, it does not affect the presentation of poetic images in the film. The material comes from "Five Days Talk" and folklore in Western Europe and some southern Europe.

- Chapter 1 -

The infertile queen was ill with her child, and she was unhappy all day long. The king who loved her listened to the advice of the wizard to find the heart of the sea dragon, but he himself lost his life. The queen rushed to the beach, picked up the sea dragon's heart and left, not even having time to look at the king who died in battle for her.

The virgin servant boiled the sea dragon's heart and became pregnant with the queen, and at last they gave birth to two identical boys. After the queen had a son, she was very possessive towards her son. She did not like the prince to play with the son of the maid who looked like him, so she drove the maid and her son away. Uneasy, the prince went to the maid's son, but saw a monster attacking him, so they joined forces to kill the monster, but never thought that the monster was made by the queen, and the queen died at the hands of her favorite son. inside.

If our desires are infinitely magnified, we will lose our original self. The queen only cares about whether she can have a child, but she ignores everything the king who loves her has done for her. In our life, we will also ignore or even anger others because we can't ask for it. In the end, we will end up with a bad ending. Too much obsession will endanger our life. After getting the prince, the queen has too much possessiveness and is exactly the same as that of many parents. She keeps the children bound and flogs them with morality. In the end, it will only make the children collapse and resist. No matter how generous we are to give our children more freedom, we love them. Performance.

- Chapter 2 -

The debauched king loved wine and meat, and one day he was attracted by a beautiful song, and the source of this song was two old ladies. Bewitched by the jewels presented by the king, the sister decides to take an adventure. They wanted to look younger, and the sister, though she didn't want to deceive the king, put her fingers in her mouth to make it smooth to the touch and convince the king that they were young. The sister glued her skins together to spend the night with the king. The king found out the truth and threw his sister out of the window, but was turned into a beauty by a passing witch and became a queen. The sister lost her reason because of jealousy of her sister, and skinned herself, and her sister finally turned back because of the failure of magic. old lady.

There are more or less shadows of the two sisters in us. To deceive others with lies for what you want, you will end up with nothing.

We are often hesitant when a great opportunity comes, and if others succeed, we do the same, and we end up being wounded by the success that does not belong to us.

- Chapter 3 -

The king was indifferent to the princess, and he didn't care about the world all day long. He only liked to keep fleas, and the fleas grew fatter and died. When the princess was of age to marry, the king picked off the flea skin as a riddle to choose his son-in-law. The last savage figured out the answer because of the smell of fleas, and the princess was taken directly back to the cave. How can a princess in a civilized world endure a savage in a barbaric world, so the princess fled again and again, and finally cut off the head of the savage and returned to her own country to become a queen.

Sometimes we are forced by the thoughts imposed by the outside world. If we just blame others, we can only live in a dark cave, and civilization and freedom are far away from us. And if we take up the hilt of resistance, we may fail, and we may no longer be able to rely on it, but if we don't try, how can we ascend to the throne of success and become our own king?

Fairy tales are deceiving

But someone is always your angel

-

The truth is often ambiguous, while the lie can be quickly understood. When we are confused, the best way is to rely on experience without losing our innocence. There are miracles in everything, as long as we observe carefully.

I hope everyone can believe in the existence of love like the princes and princesses in fairy tales, and become gods like the protagonists in dark fairy tales after experiencing hardships.
