I like Annie's look

There are not many movies to choose from on the plane. I found this movie in a bunch of English introductions that were a little complicated for me. I guess it is a cheerful and easy-to-understand movie.

Easy to understand is true, but family happiness is not necessarily true.

This film began as a common beginning of sadness. Our male protagonist, a black boy, lost his parents in a car accident. He ran over to live with his grandmother. The grandmother was harsh and funny. In addition to teaching him not to break the carpet, he also taught him to dance when he was sad. , And gave him a little white mouse to relieve loneliness.

It took a long time before the film began to point the topic, and flashed into the green dress witch who cheated the child with candy and suddenly disappeared. I thought this green dress was at least a secondary boss according to the usual literary works, but I didn’t expect Annie to show it twice after she came out. Face, it can be said that it is a slightly higher level of soy sauce than pure passersby.

The little boy told his grandmother the witch in green clothes, and the grandmother immediately decided to start an important plot turn, that is, to take the little boy into the hotel where the witch gathering was held by mistake. As soon as the two protagonists checked into the hotel with their front feet, Annie walked in leisurely with a group of gorgeous women in Chinese clothes on the back feet.

On that day, the dark night sky flashed and thunder created an atmosphere of horror. The grandmother told the little boy the important characteristics of witches-wearing wigs, gloves, fingerless, and most importantly, they hate children the most.

After talking the next day, the protagonist ran to the lobby to hide, and Annie was so majestic, she put on a golden python spitting out a snake letter, and flew around in the air, showing us all the bald heads, connected into blocks. His fingers, and a sharp laugh.

Behind is the common Dragon Quest scenes of companions. The other companion of the protagonist, a clever little girl, a dumb, chubby white boy, is also a common three-person team type in Western works, as typical as Riman’s mindlessness and upset.

The only strange thing is that in the end, the three little mice did not change back into human form after defeating the boss. After reading it, I was puzzled. After reading other people’s introductions, I realized that the author of this book, the person who wrote "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", likes this end of becoming a little mouse and living happily, even if No matter how others look at it, they can think of it with extreme fear. To outsiders, it is good to be childish and naive, or to escape from the world—for fairy tales, the two are originally a tortuous path.
