I remember when I was a child, many fairy tales have told us that evil can never defeat justice, and the princess and the prince can always live happily together.
However, as we grow older, the fairy tales of childhood no longer appeal to us. On the contrary, dark fairy tales are more attractive, because you can always find that despite the absurd and even heavy-mouthed plots, there are hidden correct values :
"The Story of the Story"丨2015
The film is adapted from the three stories in "Five Days Talk" , the first literary collection composed of fairy tales in Europe . Emotional tragedy.
Story 1: The Queen of Love Son
The king and queen had been married for years without children, causing subjects across the country to laugh at her.
The king is also very helpless, and can only guard and comfort the queen's injured little heart every day.
Until the wizard came to the good news: the queen's infertility can be saved, as long as the heart of the sea beast is obtained, and a virgin cooks it, as long as the queen eats it, she can have a child immediately.
So the king went to sea to kill sea beasts single-handedly in order to have an heir.
As a result, the king died, but in the end he got his heart back.
But the heart is still obtained, and the maid is ready. When the maid threw her heart into the pot, she suddenly felt unwell, and was obviously a little pregnant on her own.
The queen ate the heart of the sea beast, and she became pregnant immediately.
If this is placed in the real world, it is simply a medical miracle.
On the same day, the queen and the maid gave birth to a son at the same time, and attended the king's funeral with joy.
16 years later... Both children have grown up, and they are exactly the same, and their relationship is also like siblings. Although the mother forbids the two of them, they still secretly communicate in private.
The queen was overly controlling and determined to not tolerate her son being close to others. She secretly threatened the maid and expelled her son.
Before leaving, the maid's son made a promise with the prince: If the water is clear, it means my life is fine. If the water is dirty, I'm in trouble, and if it dries up, my life will end.
But after the two separated, the queen was still unwilling, so she sent assassins to murder the maid and her son.
Until one day, blood dripped from Quan's eyes, and the prince ran out desperately to find his little friend, which completely angered the queen.
With the help of a wizard, the queen turned into a demon and attempted to kill the maid's son first.
As a result, the son arrived in time, the prince blocked his body in front of his friend, the demon stopped attacking, and stared at the prince with clear eyes, the prince took the opportunity to pull out his sword and stab the devil in the key.
In the end, the demon fell to the ground and died, turning into a queen. This moment is really intriguing. It turns out that the queen paid the entire price, including her life, in order to get her son back to her side.
In the queen, we can see that the son is more important than the husband.
A mother's love for her son has surpassed everything. She regards her son as the whole of her life and is willing to pay any price, which has led to a deviation in the meaning of her life. At this time, her love for her son has turned into hurt. Mothers should not grab a relationship in the name of love.
The setting of twins in the movie expresses a child's process of finding himself in the process of growing up. If the parent binds the child in bondage, you will end up losing him.
Story Two: The Sleeping Woman's King
The debauched king was addicted to wine and sex all day long, and he had fun with all kinds of women in the wine pool and meat forest every day.
But it seems that on such a day, the king is still not satisfied. Until one day, he heard a beautiful song from the slum. The king thought that this must be a beautiful girl. So a sincere invitation was issued.
Unexpectedly, the girl likes to play hard-to-get, hiding in the house and not going out. The king who has been on the battlefield for many years is completely unable to hold back, and is completely attracted by this "naughty" woman.
However, in fact, there were actually two old women on the other side of the door. The two sisters sat quietly and worked hard every day. I didn't expect such an affair.
Ambitious sister "girl heart" rippling, began to find ways to win the king.
For the first time, she promised the king to show him a beautiful finger through the door in a few days, so she began to "maintain" the finger, gluing her wrinkled flesh together.
The second time, she directly agreed to the king's invitation to the bed, but asked not to light the candles, only when it was completely dark. It feels the same when the lights are turned off. . . . .
In the end, he never expected that the moment when the curious king lit the candle after the incident, everything was revealed.
The disgusted king angrily threw the old lady out of the window, and then she did not die, but underwent a great change... The ugly old woman became a peerless beauty.
The younger sister, who has regained her youth and beauty, succeeded in becoming the queen, and at this time, a crack began to develop between the two old sisters who depended on each other for life.
When the younger sister saw her elder sister at this time, she felt jealous in her heart. She also wanted to become younger and more beautiful. She kept asking how she did it. The helpless sister said: I peeled my skin.
Is it really the truth?
The truth is this! Luckily, the sister who was thrown from the castle did not die. She met a witch and fed her with milk, which not only saved her sister's life, but also turned her into a beautiful fairy.
But the sister believed it and asked the tanner to peel off her skin.
At the end of the story, the younger sister walked on the street dripping with blood, which was creepy. However, her face, which was already beyond recognition, was full of anticipation.
In fact, this story seems very outrageous, but it is actually very close to real life. Some beautiful women will do some blind actions in pursuit of a more beautiful appearance and a perfect body.
The endless fanatical pursuit of vanity and beauty, this is a big demon of women. And between people, there are often comparisons because of some things, and finally from envy to jealousy.
Story Three: The flea-obsessed monarch
Unlike the king in the previous story, he is not greedy for beauty, he is obsessed with a very strange pet - fleas.
Since the pet flea was born, the king has no intention of managing the affairs of the state, and concentrates on studying all kinds of flea toys.
As the little fleas grow stronger day by day... they actually grow into the size of a puppy!
The king has a daughter who has just grown up, and the princess who is in love all day long fantasizes that she can have a happy prince.
But the king didn't care about it, because his mind was on the flea.
Unfortunately, the little flea died accidentally!
The king reluctantly peeled off the skin of the flea, and asked a question, whoever can find out what kind of animal skin it is, can marry the princess.
However, it was a wild man who finally knew the answer. The king kept his promise and let the wild man take the princess away.
The noble princess was brought home by the savages and lived a cave life. But the princess did not compromise, always thinking about how to escape.
At this time, the passing circus rescued her. She thought she had escaped the danger. Unexpectedly, the savage refused to give up on him, and chased after him and killed the circus family. Finally, looking at the trembling princess, the savage softened, patted her shoulders gently, and motioned for the princess to sit up and take her home.
The princess's face was full of moved tears. She thought that the princess and the savage had fallen in love, but the last knife cut his throat mercilessly.
In the end, the princess won the kingship. Rejecting the fate that women should be controlled, a bit of the rise of feminism.
In fact, the ending of this story gave every woman a correct life direction. For those so-called marriages, finding an ideal husband may not necessarily be right. After all, marriage is not your career, only your own strength is the important career. Women need to keep this in mind when it comes to marriage.
Power, money and sex are the three main themes of life, and the desires of the world are always difficult to balance. How to deal with these three relationships is a question that never has a standard answer.
