Oh my goodness! This is the best wood I have ever seen in my life!

I can use it to make the most beautiful puppets in the world!

When I first watched it, I was surprised by this classic translation accent. After all, I haven't watched a foreign language film on the movie channel for a long time. I usually choose the original sound when watching a movie. I didn't expect to see the translated version this time. Thanks to the translation, or watch a der without subtitles. So I wrote down the title and the opening sentence.

I don't have any impression of the story of Pinocchio, but I know that there is a soul combination of Pinocchio and Little Fairy in various derivative works. So it's basically the first time to watch the complete story, which is quite new.

As the scroll unfolds, the medieval landscape of Western Europe, the hungry old carpenter who eats old pumpkin scraps (?), the puppet theater that comes to the village to do a tour, a piece of spiritual wood, the old carpenter who has a whim. Thus, Pinocchio was born.

Just glanced at the comments, a friend said that Pinocchio was stupid. Friends who watched the movie together also said that the plot was stupid and unacceptable. Yes, the puppet, who was rebellious at birth, didn't care about his old father in the least; the elf cricket's preaching angered him, he could resort to force without hesitation; he didn't understand himself, didn't understand the world, and burned himself in order to burn himself. The legs of the ground almost didn't burn myself completely; in the face of his father who was chattering about himself, he could beg him to make a new pair of legs for himself.

Looking back, the literacy textbook that my father had exchanged for his jacket and waistcoat was exchanged for four coins to watch the puppet show; when he was taken away by the class master, he could only cowardly begging for forgiveness; credulous crooks, credulous crooks again and again; cheating Saved the little fairy who had his name; abandoned her promise to the little fairy and skipped class; although he was hesitant, she still turned her back on the little fairy when she was about to get the chance to become a real person, was abducted by donkey dealers, trafficked, and hurt.

Stupid? There is nothing more stupid than this.

But as the plot progressed, this stupid ridicule of puppets was replaced by another emotion: shame and anger. This feeling reached its peak after Pinocchio got the promise of the little fairy to become a real person, but chose to go to the legendary joy with her little partner.

At this time, the puppet is irrelevant. The movie becomes a mirror in which I am as stupid as the puppet. I turn back on those who love me time and time again, follow my own nature, and seek the joy of nature. Not only has he turned his back on the creators and irritated with the preaching of the elders, but also failed those who love me unconditionally, do me well, and do whatever it takes to let me have a brighter future.

In the end, Pinocchio experienced enough hardships and recognized enough sinisterness. He became kind to his father, willing to work on the ranch to make money, refused to communicate with scammers, diligent and conscientious, and returned to order.

In fact, we never know whether Pinocchio is willing to become a real person. The only place in the film that shows Pinocchio's interest in becoming a human being is when he meets the little fairy again and finds that the little fairy has become a big fairy, and asks if he can grow up like a little fairy. My understanding is that when there are responsibilities and expectations, the talents of order are meaningful and worthy of hard work. If the environment is loose enough to allow the puppets to wander around and play carefree, ignorant and carefree, and the little fairy has enough divine power to protect him from bad luck every time, then what is the point of becoming a human? It’s also good to be a puppet that is always happy.

It's just that most people will never have this condition.

Back to the plot, the rationality of the fairy tale plot should not be investigated. Why did the class owner who was so brutal that he blamed all the puppets so silently treated Pinocchio so favorably? Because the host is pure and kind in heart? Because Pinocchio's wood kiss has such an extraordinary magic power? Before the plot showed that he met the little fairy, the guardian spirit of this puppet was already protecting him.

It can be clearly felt that people show such different perceptions about this story, which is very clearly related to each person's experience. The journey went smoothly. Although I have worried and fought, I have never encountered anyone who can be called a dilemma and desperate situation. It is very natural to think that the whole plot is to scare the children, purely for discipline and control, and let a free one. The elves became a rigid, rule-based, lifeless person, and became a part of the rules of the world. It can even be said that the process of puppets becoming humans runs counter to freedom.

People who have experienced fear, wandered in the abyss of despair, prayed for redemption countless times, lost their love, and struggled to earn their lives will feel that Pinocchio's experience is growth and evolution.

Where is the superior.

I just don't think it's worth it. The old carpenter created the puppets, and the puppets will be repaid with kindness in the future; the preaching cricket may have no good intentions, but Pinocchio’s naturalization as a human is considered his way; the fox and the cat deceive him, and the cowardly puppets dare not. Touching them, but never seeing each other again, gave a limping ending with the characteristics of a fairy tale. It can be regarded as karma, and it is clear.

But where is my little fairy? She saved the puppet, and she never owed the puppet anything. To say that the appearance of the puppet warmed her, even if it is far-fetched, it is justified. So the little fairy has to save the puppet again and again at the expense of aging? I watched her transform from a carefree little girl to an adult, her temples whitening, and her aging into a concubine. In the end, in order to give the puppet real life, disappear forever. This is too cruel to me.

It's out of jealousy.

I only hope that if my little fairy really exists, I can give her a sincere and beautiful feeling, even though it is short-lived.

Matter will eventually decay, but my heart will last forever.
