I don't want to comment too much on the feature film or spoilers here.
Just wanted to talk a little bit about the sequel to this drama.
Friends who have watched it must agree that the foreshadowing or pit dug by the screenwriter and director at the end of the film is obviously planning to make a sequel.
After the Black Witch was beheaded, Grete picked up her wand, and the red stone in the center resonated with Grete, glowing red. This is the most obvious foreshadowing.
Secondly, the troll Edward, who was about to be raped by the sheriff, rescued the sheriff's gang (the public release version can only see Edward's shot because the sheriff's gang beat Grete and a woman, JiangBao section). It was cut (it was said that the sheriff killed the mayor, and some swear words, which were cut for as much as 10 minutes before and after)), when Gretel asked Edward why he wanted to save himself, Edward said: trolls serve witches . That is to say, Grete not only inherited the bloodline of the White Witch, but also inherited the power that trolls can sense, so Grete is a witch.
The successor of the White Witch, took the wand of the Black Witch, which is obviously an excellent setting to continue to blacken this fairy tale.
However, Grete is not the only one with potential for blackening. You must know that the white witch Mina took out her wand to fight against the black witch before she sacrificed. Although the final skill was not as good as others, it was lost in battle experience. It can be seen that the power of the white witch is also quite powerful.
Then after Mina's death, who will accept her white wand, obviously it should be Hansel, who had a spark with Mina.
Although Hansel is a male, it is impossible to become a witch, but he also inherited the power of the White Witch mother in blood.
Here, you may wish to go back to the original book. The brothers and sisters fell into the candy house together. The old witch forced Grete to work on the stove and Hansel to eat candy into the oven. Here we might as well ask, why did the old witch eat Hansel, and why did she feed Hansel a lot of sugar?
Witch eats children, of course, not only to satisfy appetite, but also to pursue more powerful power, and Hansel's body just contains more powerful power. The witch's candy can be understood as a potion to better absorb this power.
It is revealed in the film that Hansel suffered from diabetes because he ate too much sugar as a child. This is a scientific statement, and in the concept of witchcraft, it can be understood that the power of the black witch is incompatible with the blood of the white witch. Rong, always tormenting Hansel.
Mina accompanies Hansel to buy pumpkins. Hansel falls ill. Mina says she has a solution. Of course her method will not be a scientific method, (Hansel injection of insulin is a medical solution to cure the symptoms but not the root cause) Mina is a white witch, so her method is naturally a witch's method, but Hansel does not know Mina identity, all he refused. It can be boldly guessed here that Mina's method is to integrate the power of the black witch into Hansel's body and give him more powerful power.
Therefore, Hansel also has the potential to be blackened.
So who are the brothers and sisters blackening? Both are blackened, and this sequel can't be filmed. A blackening, a redemption, a brother-sister war is the way out for the sequel.
Don't forget here that at the end of the film, the witch hunter team expanded from two brothers and sisters to 3 people + 1 troll.
If I say these two characters, there will definitely be drama in the sequel.
After the troll Edward rescued Gretel, the black witch fell off the cliff and died, but was rescued by Grete with electric shock therapy. I think Mina may not die) But there is also a rationale for the setting here, because trolls serve witches, then trolls naturally cannot intervene in the war between witches, otherwise who will he help.
So why do you want to rescue Edward back in the plot? Serve the sequel.
And another little sidekick, Benjamin Wasser, notice he has a first and last name. Usually in a movie where the story needs to be told in an hour or two, the dragon role has no name, and it is good that the ordinary supporting role has a name. It is definitely not an ordinary role with a name and a surname.
So in the sequel, it is conceivable that the blackening is more inclined to Gretel, because Edward the troll is determined to follow the blackening of Gretel and become a small BOSS.
On the other hand, Benjamin, although he is a little obsessed with Grete, admires Hansel more in his heart and hopes to become a hero like him, and this creampie is obviously difficult to blacken. The assistant of Hansel, the hero of the road.
Here I boldly guess that the main line of the sequel will be that Gretel fell into the darkness under the erosion of the black witch's wand, beat Hansel to death, and embarked on the road of no return for the black witch.
At the juncture of life and death, Hansel understands the true meaning of power, combines the magic of the black witch in his body and the power of the white wand in his hand, and embarks on the road of redemption, vowing to save Gretel.
On this path, Gretel, accompanied by trolls, summoned even more powerful dark forces.
And Hansel, with the help of Benjamin, developed a more powerful weapon that combined the power of technology and magic.
Brothers and sisters battle, the sky is dark.
However, the sequel must end with Hansel saving Gretel back on track.
So the sequel still needs a BOSS, here can be a bit bloody, set as the aunt of the brother and sister, the sister of the white witch.
When BOSS was young, he admired his elder sister, the White Witch King, and felt ashamed. But my sister married a peasant, so my heart twisted and fell into darkness. After cultivating in the black forest for decades, and after practicing the ultimate move, I learned that my sister and brother-in-law were burned to death by humans, so of course, I want to seek revenge from humans. .
The BOSS did evil and killed innocents indiscriminately. Naturally, witch hunters were recruited. As a result, Hansel and Gretel sensed the power of their sister.
So a more vicious revenge plan sprang up, tempting Gretel to fall into the black, and training the former human hope witch hunter into the most powerful and evil witch who is proficient in black and white magic, bringing unimaginable terror and darkness to mankind.
On the other hand, Hansel has Benjamin to help upgrade his firepower equipment. Who will guide him to penetrate the witch's power? The perfect candidate here is Mina, yes, the dead Mina in the first episode. Such a beauty was exposed in the first part (this section was not cut in the public release version, the thinking of the American film review agency is incomprehensible) It is a pity not to appear in the sequel.
Mina, who lives in the white wand in the form of a soul, and Hansel's yin and yang love between a human and a ghost, is sad and moving, isn't it even more than the first simple and crude hot spring sex Gou? !
Finally, in the end, the climax of the film returns to its origin. Gretel, who was awakened by the beating, joins hands with Hansel again, black and white magic + reloading firepower, and a mad fight to destroy the BOSS! ! !
