The Enchanted Black Forest: Anticlimactic But Completely Ordinary Myths

Paris 2022-03-20 09:01:42

A bit anticlimactic...the baker's wife played by Emily Blunt died inexplicably? After the forest changes, it's just that the road is different. Does it affect the two of them kissing? The handling is a bit sloppy... The girl lettuce and the second prince have nothing to say. Although the four stories are strung together with great brains, the plot may be too tense. Many people and clues have not been handled well, and many foreshadowings are useless. It may take more than two hours. Really a little nervous for four stories, as "blackened versions" of Grimm's fairy tales? Actually there is not, probably as Cinderella played by Anna said, somewhere between, the first half is he, and the second half is where no one wants to see the next part of the fairy tale. Overall, it still feels good! Especially the fairy harmony in the first sixteen and a half minutes! Cinderella presents a different, thinking, excellent woman who knows her own mind? But as...a musical, right...the style of the song is too monotonous, is the mind used to connect the story? After listening to it, I think it sounds a little better, probably because the solo of Aunt Mei's popular part can also be added to the "My Favorite List"

The other songs are the same...maybe not all songs can be like Sondheim's Todd after all...

But it's really good looking? Much better than the Nutcracker and the Four Kingdoms...not a mindless remake of a fairy tale, the lyrics are also well written Depp is so fucking handsome

Into the Woods quotes

  • Baker: As the Prince anxiously waited, the stepmother took matters, and Florinda's foot, into her own hands.

    Florinda: Careful, my toe!

    Stepmother: Darling, I know!

    Florinda: What will we do?

    Stepmother: It'll have to go/but when you're his bride/you can sit or ride/you'll never need to walk!

    [cuts off Florinda's toe and Florinda screams in pain]

    Baker: Minus one toe, Florinda mounted the Prince's horse, unaware of the blood dripping from the slipper. Lucinda was next...

    Lucinda: Why won't it fit?

    Stepmother: Darling, be still/cut off a bit of the heel and it will/and when you're his wife/you'll have such a life/you'll never need to walk!

    [cuts of Lucinda's heel and Lucinda screams in pain]

    Baker: Minus a heel, Lucinda did her best to swallow the pain.

    Stepmother: It's a perfect fit your highness!

    [Lucinda faints]

  • Jack: Magic what type of magic?

    Baker's Wife: Tell him.

    Baker: Magic that, uh, defies description.
