"Miss Pey's Fantasy Castle" is based on Sam Riggs' fantasy novel "The House Girl". Westerners' fascination with time and space is reflected in all aspects. In this movie, there is a group of children with special abilities hiding in the time and space corridors, fighting to the death with cannibal mutant monsters. The wonderful thing is that the film interweaves reality and fantasy, which seems to tell us implicitly that the world is diverse and parallel. Even a seemingly ordinary person, or even a bird, his or its existence is symbolic and full of mission. A 16-year-old boy, Jack, in order to find out the truth of his grandfather's death, brought the story of the castle kindergarten told by his childhood grandfather and a letter from Miss Pei to his grandfather, and found an island on the coast of Wales. I have been thinking about why a 16-year-old boy was chosen as the protagonist, because he is half-sized and has his own view of right and wrong, but the world view is still being shaped, relatively speaking, the curiosity and acceptance of the fantasy world are still Yes, the power of love as well as integrity and courage need to be tested by reality. In short, this is a fantastic age. Of course, what was shown to Jack at the beginning was just a dilapidated and abandoned orphanage. However, Jack's arrival is to prove that the orphans and orphans in Grandpa's story are real. However, a 16-year-old boy is not deeply involved in the world. In order to satisfy his curiosity, he is not fully defensive against the dangers of this world, not to mention the dangers that transcend cognition in other worlds? So, as Jack gradually steps into the center of the truth, danger also ensues. As Jack gradually integrates into the peculiar children under the protection of Miss Pei, he also faces his own life problems, such as the love that sprouts quietly, such as how to choose between reality and time reincarnation, such as when he encounters a crisis of personal integrity. How to deal with it when? Jack steals a letter from Miss Pei and how Jack explains the Eater of Souls that follow. If you throw away all the fanciful appearances, this is also the growth problem faced by every sixteen-year-old child: how to deal with academic and emotional problems while studying, such as puppy love; how to keep oneself in the repetitive world The original intention; how to face the problems in life, mistakes do not mean completely denying a person... The focus of the conflict in the story is that the special people are divided into two factions, and the evil faction has to eat the eyes of these ordinary special people to maintain His own human form, so Jack finally understood that his grandfather was not dying of old age but his eyes were eaten by the Eater of Souls. So, an ordinary boy, whether in public or private, has to fight against the forces of evil, for his grandfather, and for this Group of friends, shuttle in the reincarnation of time and space. This is growth. In the end, of course, the ending is bright and beautiful. After killing the dangerous villain, of course, we must start to pursue our own love during the lesson. So, he shuttled through the junctions of various time and space, and finally caught up with the ship with the fluttering girl... Maybe, fantasy is just the outside, but inside we all have a heart that yearns for perfection.
