The story that happened long, long ago now

A long time ago, the great forest, the kingdom, the prince riding a white horse, the singing princess, the evil stepmother and queen. There is also a group of ghosts and strange animals, a stupid and loyal minister. Enough, enough, enough for Green and Andersen to write a short story. The difference is that Andersen will let the princess die in exchange for the happiness of the prince, while Green will let the prince and the princess be happy together. (This story can only be given to the two of them. If it is given to Tolkien or Nabokov, the former writes a "Royal Couple" PS: Just like the "Smiths" to kill the dragon, and give it to Nabokov The husband is the prince who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the princess is under 14 years old, the two of them have a story of a windy night).

However, this Disney movie is neither written as Green nor Hans Christian Andersen, and this movie is neither directed by Peter Jackson nor Kubrick. Therefore, we are very fortunate to see and see this fairy tale that blends with reality.

Every woman has a Cinderella complex, which is both an assertion and a truth, and this traditional complex is magnified in this "Magic Love". When "Cinderella", "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty" are all three models of love stories twisted together, the audience did not feel pretentious and artificial, but instead was a kind of comfort and joy. In this kind of commercial film that does not need to use brains at all, Disney still does its best to create a so-called dream world, just like Andalusia in the play (similar to Andalusia in Spain), you can’t find it here. In the world of patriarchy, the representative of the supreme power is a coquettish and dazzling woman. This old woman is a queen, and she has a feeling of obsessive-compulsive disorder for the gains and losses of rights. In the end, she came to New York with a person who could not bear it. To solve the trouble. This change of direction once again proves my point of view. Women who are offside and high-powered are more emotional in the way they think about problems.

When the male protagonist is a successful single father, I once again lamented the infinite yearning for the middle class in the capitalist society, and it seems that the middle class is the supreme purpose of the entire capitalist society. And middle-class single fathers possess all the excellent qualities of a man, such as: gentle and considerate, mature and stable, rich and successful in career. The most important thing is that this kind of man has been more or less in the past years. Shao has received a certain amount of emotional damage, so when dealing with his next lover, he can be directly employed without training. Unlike Yuppies, it takes long-term training before they can compete for jobs. I think this is the important reason why most fairies and angels fall in love with single fathers. Besides, there is a child who seems to be much more friendly and kind.

Looking at our prince, our prince is not competitive at all in front of the male protagonist. He is like a pampered dude, a young man who does not understand the heart of a woman but understands the romance, a man who can only dance knives, guns, sing and dance. . Compared to the protagonist's depth and complexity, our heroine will naturally embrace the male protagonist.

Our heroine is indeed, as the actor said, a character who ran out of the HALLMARK card. She speaks Old English and does not know what civilization is. After coming out of the joyous prairie, she came to a materialistic like New York. Society. And the contact with civilization in just a few days has not only changed our heroine's view of love, but the trend of the whole movie has also changed, the direction and directionality of this fairy tale.
When the heroine finally planned to stay in New York, I didn’t know whether to lament the terrible reality or the lack of fairy tales. Even if it was a happy ending, the heroine moved into reality, which is a strange way to win the audience’s favor. . However, I have to sigh the heroine's ability to understand fairy tale characters, the exaggerated movements and weird behavior, and the fluent Shakespearean English is really impressive. (However, these Western actors still need to learn from the heroines of Korean dramas, to see if they play a real character like a fairy tale).
What is commendable is that Disney satire generally makes what happened at the prom into a veritable performance in the mouths of the two old women. It can be seen that people who have no fairy tales in their hearts are just like those two old people who have been familiar with each other, and their hearts are dead.
Life needs fairy tales, just as children like to listen to stories before going to bed. You can't force anyone to face reality. After all, life needs an optimist. And just not listening to fairy tales will not allow children to grow up.

    Everyone has problems, everyone has bad times, but will we give up all good times because of this?
