To categorize this film, I'll label it Comedy and Ethical Drama. Movies like this are more than just entertainment! Easy to analyze human nature, happy to reason, what's wrong?
When childhood is about to face the missing life, how will we react? This reminds me of "Sad City", a Hong Kong-style movie that describes a life that was missing in childhood. It is so full of rivers and lakes, and the ending is tragic, and it does not give the answer to how to get out of such a life. Just let people go around in that life and go back to where they started.
This film, in a fairy tale-like expression, tells us that even a princess has something that others can't see. "Molly" and "Lei", the two princesses who really lived in the castle, also faced the broken family and the departure of their loved ones. One chose to sink into an eternally beautiful childhood, rejecting the external harm, but finally had to face the reality. world. The other chooses to face the cruel world maturely, reject all insecure factors, and protect themselves with seemingly strong. But he couldn't deny the reality that he was still young. Their choices make themselves into two extreme types of people who are completely inconsistent with reality.
It is precisely because the two are so different that when they look at each other, they understand what they are missing, and they see that life has a completely different side. And what we need to do is to get rid of them and go back to the normal life path, with joy and sorrow, accept it calmly, don't need to be strong, don't be afraid to escape, this kind of life can be complete.
As children who grew up after 80 years, we have the same feeling. From childhood to adulthood, we got the best, we do what we want, life is as perfect as we imagined, it is the center of everyone, and we are the most OK. As we grow up, we learn to accept imperfections, flaws, and missing things. It is such a painful but beautiful process, because we have used our own strength to walk out of a complete life.
I really like the description of love in the film. The two songs are also for "Morley", continuing the eternal father's love and starting the love that I yearn for. Happiness is just that!
