black fairy tale

Willis 2022-03-20 09:01:42

I still prefer this type of movie, it looks a bit like a musical movie, and there are several fairy tales in it, including Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Jack Beanstalk. The traditional routines in the first half of the movie are all very happy. The second half is a reversal of the plot. The fairy tale characters have become ordinary people, and they blame each other, good and evil. It also conveys the appearance of the black fairy tale conveyed by this movie. I think the songs and dances in it are quite okay to watch, the lights are constantly changing, and the plot is quite complete.

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.
