Everyone has a fairy tale

"Enchanted," the US box-office No. 1 on Thanksgiving last year, Disney's seven-year production, a light-hearted and entertaining movie.

Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom... Just like the fairy tales that I was familiar with when I was a child, with the melodious soundtrack, the retro Disney style shows the castle deep in the forest, the crisp birdsong, and the happy little animals. The water-like princess looks forward to the arrival of the brave prince. As in every fairy tale, the evil queen interfered with the good princess, and the poor princess was pushed into a deep well. . . The animation part came to an abrupt end, and the Seven Dwarfs did not arrive as expected. When the princess climbed up from the other end of the well, she was surprised to find that she was in an unfamiliar world: a crowded market with colorful lights, pedestrians of various colors wearing strange clothes, and metal monsters that shuttled back and forth. . . In the modern city of New York, what is waiting for the story of the princess in the fairy tale?

It is not difficult to guess the ending of this story, and the script of one sword in seven years is actually cliché. But still love the movie. There are innocent memories of childhood in fairy tales. Even if you have to compromise with the real world, you still find yourself easily moved by simple stories. In fact, the fairy tale world and the mundane world are not the reflection of our inner ideals and external environment?

I like the little details in the movie: the beautiful singing of the princess mends a black couple's relationship that is on the verge of shattering. The world is like this, and the fetters of love are often just mediocre. You can also find your inner angel in a single thought. Like the chivalrous chipmunk, this cute little thing reminds me of the equally cute Qizai. I like the exquisite soundtracks, and I borrowed the theme song of "Ratatouille" just right, and the song "So close" at the end of the ball is even more breathtaking, and it sings so sadly. "So close is waiting, waiting here with you... now you'er beside me, and look how far we've come", it's really the finishing touch. This film won three of the five nominations for Best Song at the Oscars this year, but it lost unexpectedly, which is quite regrettable.

Everyone has a fairy tale in their hearts, not necessarily a white horse rider, not necessarily a fairy, but there must be a dream and a reason to persist, Forever ever after...
