It is not difficult to see which fairy tale corresponds to each story in the play. The film has already expressed it very clearly:
"Little Red Riding Hood": Kayla is a rebellious teenage girl (her grandmother told the audience she was Little Red Riding Hood when she took out the red raincoat), she attributed her mother's death to her father's infidelity, she thought she insisted on the truth, in fact , the mother she defends is the unfaithful party. What she insisted was right was her fault. (Kyla's relationship with her father wasn't so untuned when she watched past home videos, she just blamed the "cheating" dad for her mother's death) Keira's grandmother, Colin, is my favorite A role that Colin said she missed when she was younger, so she learned that "adults live between right and wrong". She hates Kayla's mother, but also acknowledges Kayla's mother's talent. She supports Kayla's personality and chooses a different education than Kayla's father to believe in Kayla. Because of this, Kayla learned step by step to continue communicating with her family. Kayla is Little Red Riding Hood, who is the Big Bad Wolf? At first, I thought the big bad wolf was Ethan, then I found out that the big bad wolf was Nick. (Big Bad Wolf's acting is really good: when Keira broke up with him, his expression was really subtle to the extreme, and the character's madness was in place.) Nick's skilled killing skills in killing Ethan make people understand his teacher's appearance The mind has long been twisted - in order to completely get the control of his lover, he can do everything (personal understanding: this perverted teacher actually loves Kayla's mother, but there is no way, Kayla's mother decided to Breaking with him, he had no choice but to destroy it if he couldn't get it. He couldn't let other men get it by killing him, because he wanted to completely dominate his lover. So his love had nowhere to go, so he had to transfer his love to the daughter of his former lover, hoping to discover the past. The shadow of a lover. [So Nick paused in class when Kayla said what Kayla's mother once told him about Wuthering Heights]).
"Three Little Pigs": Each of the three little pigs has its own characteristics. The first little pig only seeks money and does not hurt people. After hurting people, he feels guilty and keeps repeating "No one should die, her Death was just an accident." Come to comfort yourself; the second little pig is a helper demon, but not as guilty as the first; the third little pig, ostensibly the guardian of the people, is actually a murderer The unblinking demon killed the security guard, killed Beth, killed the second little pig and his wife, and killed his colleagues in the police station. The little pigs accidentally ruined the lives of others for their own lives, so Mr.Wolf appeared. Jordan's mental journey is very clear, from persuading his girlfriend to believe that the world is not so unbearable, to seeing everyone like a pig in church (he attributed the death of his fiancee to the anger of the world), to the hallucinations in his mind. Realistic self to do ideological struggle. The wolf didn't completely surrender to revenge, he really didn't hurt anyone with his own hands, he could have killed the first piglet while he was sleeping, but he was deadlocked for a while and left, after the first piglet committed suicide , appeared in Jordan's guilty fantasy; he could also make the second little pig feel his pain, but he was hesitant to shoot; he also had the opportunity to kidnap the third little pig's son, but at the last moment Startled by his own behavior, it was difficult for Jordan to kill the third piglet who killed his fiancee, because Mr. Wolf was not a killer. The killer is the third little pig - the "guardian of justice". He can shoot and kill anyone at will, no matter if he is an innocent, an accomplice, or an enemy, as long as he gets in the way, he will die.
PS: After Beth died, Jordan had hallucinations and saw Beth repeating the last conversation between the two in front of the dresser. Jordan gently wiped the fog on the glass. I thought that Beth would not be there to express Jordan's loneliness. A pig's head and a pair of eyes appeared in the soil, which scared me to death.
"Candy House": Hannah is undoubtedly strong, willing to take risks for her father and brother, and for her teammates; but she still thinks the world owes her (this explodes when she finds a windfall). But it was because of her greed that the sister and brother fell into crisis. Geb has a desire for money, but he has a bottom line. He refuses to steal money, and refuses to accept ill-gotten gains from the very beginning. He also states that he has never sold his body for money. The witch really took me by surprise, in the first half she seemed concerned about her friends and suggested to Tim to ease the father-daughter relationship. In fact, he is the head of a criminal group, and he can ignore his mother's life and death for money.
Unlike fairy tales, Little Red Riding Hood in the story is not a simple victim. She can play a one-night stand with strangers in a bar, allowing Nick to succeed easily; Mr.Wolf and Little Pig are not simple perpetrators and victims. It was the pig's misbehavior that led to the emergence of the wolf. Brothers and sisters are not pure victims, their evasion of responsibility and their own greed brought disaster.
Kayla's father is really distressing, his ex-wife cheated, his daughter misunderstood, his new love is still the eldest sister of a criminal group, and his friends are gradually eroded by revenge but powerless.
I originally wanted to give it five stars, but several problems were exposed in the film: 1. Although the three stories are related, the development of each story has almost no impact on the main parts of other stories except for the relationship between the characters. It gives the impression that there is a grand system, but it cannot stand scrutiny, and it will not affect the story if it is taken apart. 2. There are too many slots in some plots. For example, the criminal group in the film gives me the feeling that it is not very good. There is no group appearance, and the dishes are casual.
