But this is not a story that children can understand. Under the superficial fantasy of children, it is growth, and it is the thinking, tolerance, and self-transcendence under growth. This story is more suitable for young people. If young people are more immersed in the dream like "Twilight", then this story is also not suitable for them.
This is simply a fable. Like all fables and fairy tales, whether Aesop or Andersen, they are all experiences and insights written by wise middle-aged people after experiencing the ups and downs of life. They usually resonate more with adults. From the perspective of children, the story of the red shoes is so dark and hopeless, but the old Hollywood movie "Hong Ling Yan" uses the life of a ballerina to tell the story more cruel and thorough.
"Twilight", as I said last time, is a teenager’s dream, forever young and beautiful parents, an enlightened and relaxed family atmosphere, the most popular among boys and girls, love magically descends, gothic The elegant environment is rendered with rich ink and color, and strives to create a romantic world. Young people just want to be immersed in this world without waking up.
"Ghost Mother", which also has Gothic suspense, tells another story in a similar fantasy. In this story, careless parents will become considerate partners, weird neighbors will become circus leaders, obese old sisters will become slender showgirls, and deserted gardens will become Disney’s paradise. Everything is getting better and better, as it pleases, it is perfect, there is only one, everyone's eyes are made of buttons. The little girl was enjoying all this with peace of mind, and when the two buttons were about to be sewn on her eyes, she realized the absurdity of all this.
The same is the self-centeredness of young people, the same dream of a perfect family, and the same hope is the protagonist of all people. In "Twilight", this dream is kept on, but in "Ghost Mother", it is It is to bravely break the crystal ball with snowflakes, break free from the dream of the boy, wake up, abandon part of the past, accept the reality, and grow up helplessly. No one will become someone's doll, and become what a teenager hopes. We all grow up if we are willing or not.
