edge of the world

Mirror mask.
I don't seem to understand the theme of this movie, but the ingredients of fairy tales are like dreams.
Books that no one likes will run back to the library by themselves, and the books in the library must be caught with a net. Everyone has masks on their faces, cute scary masks. Even a tower will come to the rescue after its owner apologizes. The sphinx guy is an idiot, and the queen is guarded by a slow-talking giant.
Helena's graffiti has become a world without magic, but it is very magical. There is darkness and light in this world. There are terrifying creatures, although the old mirror-seller keeps them as pets. Don't show you're afraid of them, she said.
Look out the window.
Remember what your mother said.
That's the motto on that "really useful book".
The outcome of the fairy tale is of course beautiful. There is even a little bit of love in it.
Although I still didn't understand what the director was going to say, the pictures, music, and all the atmosphere of the movie fascinated me. Sweet enough for a late night ice cream.
When I remembered that a certain strange-looking guy said that he wanted to punish the uninvited guest he caught, what he said was: don't give her ice cream.
However, that really isn't a child's world.
Of course, not for adults.
