Grimm's fairy tale Lettuce girl
once had a man and a woman. They always wanted a child, but they couldn't get it.
In the end, the woman had no choice but to hope that God would give her a child. There is a small window at the back of their house, from there you can see a beautiful garden full of exotic flowers and plants. However, there was a high wall around the garden, and no one dared to enter, because the garden belonged to a witch. The magic power of this witch is so great that everyone in the world is afraid of her. One day, my wife was standing at the window looking into the garden and saw a very beautiful lettuce growing on a vegetable patch. These lettuce were green and watery, and immediately aroused her appetite, and she wanted to eat them very much. This desire is increasing day by day, and when she knows that she will not be able to eat it anyway, she becomes very haggard, her face is pale and painful. Her husband was frightened and asked her, "My dear, what's wrong with you?" "Ah," she replied, "If I can't eat the lettuce in the garden behind our house, I will die." Because the husband loves her very much, he thought: “It’s better to get some lettuce for her rather than let her die. No matter what happens to it.” At dusk, he climbed over the fence and slipped into the witch’s garden, quickly. He plucked a handful of lettuce and brought it back to her wife to eat.
The wife immediately made the lettuce into a salad and gobbled it down. The taste of this lettuce was so good, the lettuce she wanted to eat the next day was twice as much as the day before. In order to satisfy his wife, the husband had to decide to step into the witch's garden again. So, at dusk, he sneaked into the garden, but as soon as he climbed down from the wall, he was taken aback, because he saw the witch standing in front of him. "You are so courageous," she said angrily, "you dare to sneak into my garden and steal my lettuce like a thief!" "Oh," he replied, "have mercy on me, and forgive me. I can’t do this. My wife saw the lettuce in your garden from the window. She wanted to eat it terribly. If she didn’t eat it, she would die.” After the witch heard this, her anger slowly faded and she told him Said: "If things are really like what you said, I can let you pick as many lettuce as you like, but I have one condition: You must give me the child your wife will have, and I will let her live well. And he will treat her like a mother." Because of fear, the husband had to agree to all the conditions of the witch. As soon as the wife gave birth to the child, the witch came and named the child "Lettuce", and then took the child away. "Lettuce" slowly grew into the most beautiful girl in the world. When the child was twelve years old, the witch put her in a tower. This tall tower is in the forest. It has neither stairs nor doors, but a small window on the top of the tower. Whenever the witch wanted to go in, she would stand under the tower and cried out:
"Lettuce, lettuce, hang your hair down." The
girl lettuce has long hair that is thick as gold. As soon as she heard the witch's cry, she loosened her hair braid, wrapped the top around a window hook, and lowered it down twenty meters. The witch climbed up along the long hair.
One or two years passed. One day, the prince rode through the forest, just past the tower. At this moment, he suddenly heard the beautiful singing, and could not help but stop and listen quietly. It was the Lettuce girl who sang, and she had to sing to pass the time in her loneliness.
The prince wanted to climb to the top of the tower to see her, so he looked around for the door, but he couldn't find it. He returned to the palace, the singing had already moved him deeply, and he rode out to the forest to listen to it every day. One day, when he was standing behind a tree, he saw the witch coming and heard her yell at the top of the tower: "Lettuce, lettuce, hang your hair down."
Lettuce girl immediately dropped her braids, and the witch climbed up along it. The prince thought: "If it is a ladder for people to climb up, I can also try my luck." The next evening, he came to the tower and shouted: "Lettuce, lettuce, let your hair down."
Hair Immediately hanging down, the prince climbed up along the way. Lettuce girl was really surprised when she saw a man climbing up, because she had never seen a man before. But the prince talked to her kindly, telling how his heart was touched by her singing, and there was no peace for a moment, so he insisted on coming to see her. The Lettuce girl slowly ceased to feel scared, and when he asked her if she would marry him, she saw that the prince was young and handsome, and thought: "This man will definitely like me more than the godmother." So she did. He agreed, and stretched out his hand to the prince. She said: "I am very willing to go with you, but I don't know how to get down. Every time you come, bring me a silk thread. I will use silk thread to make a ladder. When the ladder is finished, I will Climb down, and you will hug me on your horseback. "Because the old witch always comes during the day, they agreed to let the prince come every evening. The witch did not find anything until the girl lettuce asked her one day: "I asked you, godmother, why do you always feel that you are much heavier than the young prince when I pull you? He just came up all at once." "Ah. ! You bad boy!" cried the witch, "What are you talking about? I thought you were cut off from the world, but I didn't want you to lie to me!" She angrily grabbed the beautiful braid of Girl Lettuce and held it in her left hand. Wrapped twice, and flicked a pair of scissors with his right hand. After a few chirps, the beautiful braid fell on the ground. Then, she mercilessly sent the Lettuce girl into a wilderness, and let her live there miserably. On the day Lettuce Girl was sent away, the witch tied the cut braids to the window hooks on the top of the tower. The prince came and shouted, "Lettuce, lettuce, let your hair down."
The witch put down her hair, and the prince climbed along. However, he did not see the beloved Lettuce girl, but saw the witch staring at him viciously. "Aha!" She mocked the prince and said, "Are you here to pick up your sweetheart? But the beautiful birds won't sing in the nest anymore. She was caught by the cat, and the cat will take your eyes. Dig it out. Your lettuce girl is finished, don't want to see her again." The prince was in pain and jumped from the tower in despair. He fell into the thorn bushes, although he did not lose his life, he was blinded by the thorns. He walked aimlessly in the forest, eating only grass roots and berries, crying sadly every day for the loss of his lover. He walked in the forest painfully for several years, and finally came to the wilderness where Girl Lettuce suffers. Lettuce girl has given birth to twins, a son and a daughter. The prince heard a voice, and felt that the voice was familiar, so he walked there. When he approached, the lettuce girl recognized him immediately and cried with her arms around his neck. Two drops of her tears wetted his eyes, making them bright again. He can see things as before. He returned to his kingdom with his wife and children.
------------------------------------------- The above is the story from Grimm's fairy tale (I’m the dividing line^_^) The
post-adapted plot in Tangled: Rapunzel was sneaked away from her parents’ castle when she was a baby. She grew up in a tall tower and has a waterfall-like head. With long blond hair, she was adolescent yearning for the outside world, so she secretly escaped; it tells the story of a thief and Rapunzel who accompany her to escape the hunt of an old witch after meeting Rapunzel.
The witch named Gothel witnessed the pure sunlight dripping down to the ground, giving birth to a magical golden flower. Singing for it can restore her youth and maintain her appearance, so she monopolized the golden flower for centuries.
A few centuries later, the queen of the neighboring kingdom became pregnant, but she became very sick. The king ordered the search for the legendary golden flower. On the uninhabited cliff, the guards found it. The queen drank the soup cooked by the flower, healing magically, and successfully gave birth to a blond baby girl Rapunzel (Rapunzel) . The witch Ge Duo learned that Jin Hua was drunk by the queen, visited the palace at night, found Rapunzel, and sang songs to the sleeping princess. The princess's hair glowed with dazzling golden light, and Ge Duo regained her youth, but at the same time she found that she was cut. The magic of her hair will disappear and she will turn into brown hair, so she takes the baby girl away, shuts him off in the tower deep in the dense forest, and raises him like a mother. Every year on Rapunzel’s birthday, the kingdom sends thousands of sky lanterns in the sky, hoping that one day it can lead the missing princess back to the country.
Eighteen years later, Rapunzel lives in the tower with her chameleon pet Pascal. Rapunzel asked Ge Duo to let her see the stars floating in the distance on her birthday each year, but Ge Duo always refused her request, saying that the world is full of bad people who covet her magic power. At the same time, Flynn Rider, the thief who dreamed of owning a castle, and two accomplices stole the crown from the castle of the kingdom and fled into the woods. In the process of escaping, Felin betrayed his accomplices. At the same time, he sat on horseback with Maximus to get rid of the kingdom guard and the lonely captain's white horse. Driven by curiosity, Flynn climbed the tower. The captain's white horse rode on a horse, Maximus, and continued to search for Feyrin's whereabouts. As soon as Flynn entered the tower, he was stunned by Rapunzel with a pan, then hid him in the closet and hid the crown. Rapunzel believed that she was capable of dealing with bad guys and proved to her mother that he could go out, but was still rejected. She faltered and told Ge Duo that she wanted a special pigment as a birthday gift. It would take several days to find this pigment. Rapunzel wanted to delay the time, but Ge Duo agreed not to mention leaving the tower.
After Godo left, Rapunzel took the opportunity to release Flynn and offered to exchange terms. If Flynn took her to see those sky lanterns, she would return the crown to Flynn when she came back. Flynn agreed and left the tower with her, although Rapunzel was very happy to be free, but the guilt of missing a contract with her mother created conflicts in her heart. On the way back to the tower, Ge Duo saw the royal guards searching around. Seeing that the situation was bad, Ge Duo returned to the tower early and found that Rapunzel was no longer there, but found the crown hidden by Rapunzel. With a bad feeling, he left the tower and looked for the whereabouts of Rapunzel. On the way, the two entered the Little Duck Tavern, where all the villains that Goduo had warned of Rapunzel were concealed, but they were not as bad as they thought. The villains all have their own dreams, just like Rapunzel. But the chase, the villain brothers, and Godo all chased here, and the tavern villains helped them get rid of the guards. They eventually engaged in a chase battle on a man-made dam, and inadvertently caused the dam to burst during the fight. The flood trapped the two in a dark cave and tried to escape. When they were helpless, the two showed their heart. Flynn said his real name was Eugene Fitzherbert, Rapunzel. After telling the secret that singing will make the hair glow, Rapunzel suddenly realized that the two finally found a way out with the glowing hair of Rapunzel. Rapunzel gradually developed a good impression of Flynn.
On the way to find Rapunzel, Godot met two accomplices who had been betrayed by Flynn, and offered attractive conditions to let the two accomplices cooperate with him. Godot designed Rapunzel when Fei Lin was away, and told her that Fei Lin only wanted the crown, and that the feelings were deceptive, and asked Rapunzel to give the crown to Flynn to provoke the two. The next day, White Horse Maximus chased Flynn, but the clever Rapunzel turned the fight into a jade silk, and the two became friends with White Horse and arrived in the kingdom to play together. At night, the sky lanterns floated in the sky, and Rapunzel gave Flynn a crown, but Flynn realized that Rapunzel was what he really wanted. Two of Flynn's accomplices appeared, and Flynn decided to return the crown to his accomplices and reformed, but the two had already been accomplices with Goduo. They set a trap, tied Flynn's hands on the rudder, and put the boat into the lake. Through the fog, Rapunzel mistakenly thought that Flynn had betrayed her and took away the crown and escaped Yaoyao. Ge Duo took the heartbroken Rapunzel back to the tower with this. Flynn was arrested and sentenced to hang for stealing the crown.
Back to the tower, Rapunzel noticed all the signs,
Realizing that she was the long-lost princess in the kingdom, she told Goduo that she remembered everything, but Goduo knew that she wanted to retreat to Rapunzel for a lifetime. At the same time, the white horse finds the villains in the tavern and works together to rescue Flynn, and the white horse takes Flynn back to the tower to rescue Rapunzel. Fei Lin entered the tower, but was stabbed by the ambushing Goduo, and her life was dying. Rapunzel promised that if she could heal Fei Lin's wound, she would stay with Goduo forever. Goduo agreed, but Flynn said that he would rather die than let her be trapped forever, and cut off her long hair. The magic of the magic hair disappeared and turned brown. Goduo’s young beauty quickly aged. Falling down the tower and turning to ashes. Flynn loved Rapunzel deeply, but died of injuries. Rapunzel hugged Flynn sadly and tried to sing a spell. Tears dripped on Flynn's cheeks, shining like the sun, miraculously healed Flynn. Finally, Rapunzel returns to the castle to reunite with her parents who have been separated for many years. As time passed, Flynn married Rapunzel and lived happily ever after. The tavern villains also fulfilled their wishes, and White Horse became a respected captain of the Royal Guard.

reading it, do you find that the two are very different?
-----------------------------------------------Dividing line^ _^
Compared with the original version, the whole movie has been changed so much that I couldn't accept it when I first saw it!
Is this a Disney princess fairy tale? I doubt it very much.
The classic plot should look like this:
Once upon a time, there was a Rapunzel who was imprisoned by an evil witch on a high tower and was not allowed to leave the tower for half a step. (Supplementary background: The tower has no doors, no stairs, only a small window for Rapunzel to see the outside world) The princess often looks out the window and yearns for the outside world, but she has no ability to escape from Gao Tower, can only look out the window every day. During the day, the witch went out, and a prince riding a horse (must be a white horse, with singing and dancing clips) accidentally entered the tower and found the princess. He agreed with the princess to visit her in the tower every day. After a while, the princess was caught by the prince Moved by words and deeds, he decided to escape from the tower with the prince.
Just as the prince took the princess by the hand and was about to leave the tower, the witch who was obviously supposed to be studying poison suddenly appeared in front of the two at this time of the day, and had a heated moral discussion with the princess, making the princess bewildered and started. Suspecting herself, the princess let go of the prince’s hand and stepped aside, and the prince told the princess not to believe in the witch... when the witch was about to tell the princess, the witch killed the prince first, but she was also because of a certain Some unknown reasons died. The sad princess fell beside the prince, crying alone, only to find her own (tears/kiss/long hair/ring/hug...) including but not limited to everything Symbolic things can wake up the prince, and then they live happily together. The end of the play.
Obviously, Disney's treatment of the princess in the 50th animated feature film has changed. They know that traditional princess cartoons are no longer competitive, and the audience will not pay for such films. Of course, the investment of 260 million US dollars eventually recovered the cost and became a very popular movie. It can be considered as Frozen and tried the water. It's just that the latter
surpassed this play in the eyes of others because it took up some of the right time and place .
The change made by Disney:
Le Pei is not like the original typical princess image. She is not helpless. She will also use a pan to beat unknown strangers. She will act for her dreams, not just have this wish. And, the point is not because of the prince, everything is just because of the "floating light" in my heart.
To reiterate, the point is that these characteristics of Le Pei are manifested on his own basis and have nothing to do with Eugene!
In this way, a completely different princess was created: it was the person who would hug Eugene when he saw a rabbit; it was the person who saw the town for the first time and would happily observe and stop to watch; it was the person who discovered that he was a real princess. , Is that kind of anger, is the person who ruthlessly criticizes and scolds himself for shouting "Mom" one second before...
All in all, Le Pei is an independent and lively girl.
These two points are very pleasing, different from other princesses, the audience also likes it.
Therefore, the main line of the whole story is not the love story of Le Pei and Eugene, but the process of Le Pei and everyone in the movie to realize their dreams. It is a story of pursuing dreams and yearning for freedom.
This is the deep thinking that the whole movie brings us: to pursue our dreams.
Do you remember your childhood dream?
Do you also encounter various problems on the way to pursue your dreams?
