oops, sorry, this is not a fairy tale of a princess and a prince. It's just a love story between an ordinary concubine and a dishwasher.
( The content contains the plot) the
movie Happy Never After, Hong Kong translation 'Reverse Fighting Immortals' Development. On the night that Cinderella is going to attend the ball and meet the prince, the wizard is going to have a holiday, with two assistants (a pig and a cat) to take care of the magician, and at the same time instruct the two little guys to monitor the ball carefully, so that everything is as it should be. As the story developed smoothly. Who knew all this was discovered by Cinderella's stepmother, Frieda, at the moment when the prince danced with Cinderella, the storyline changed, Cinderella changed back to the appearance of a concubine in front of the prince, and the prince immediately recognized She didn't come out, but only recognized the glass slipper; at this time, the stepmother also summoned the villains in the fairy tale world (unfortunately, there are no familiar villains, they are all 'two dozen six') to occupy the castle. Of course, the story continues It’s a battle between good and evil.
Cinderella (Ella) in the film, Prince Charming, who is always thinking about it, is actually not charming at all, plus her words and deeds are deliberately vilified (such as: gelling with saliva, hitting a wall when walking, and getting dizzy when she sees a beautiful girl) etc.) Rick is undoubtedly much better-looking than the kitchen handyman who is in charge of delivering the invitations.
There is a scene in the film where Ella learns that according to the laws of the fairy tale world, the prince's destiny is to catch the bad guys, so she wants to To save the fairyland, they must go to find the lost prince to fight against the stepmother. Rick also wanted to do something in the past, but because Rick was just a handyman and played an inconspicuous role, no one would think he could do it what; therefore, even if one knew how bad the prince was, Still blindly believe that only he can save the fairy tale country.
Later, Ella realized that she didn't know the prince very much. She thought she liked him because he was a prince, rich and handsome (she said that, but I didn't agree!); moreover, the two little guys also Tell her that it is her destiny to fall in love with the prince. Everyone thinks that being able to marry a prince is happiness (Isn't that the case in Hong Kong? A while ago, when the son of the rich man in the city married a model, when people were clamoring to marry a rich man , don't you think women are extremely happy according to this rule?). Life must follow "the book" in order to "live happily ever after". She found that she knew and fell in love with Rick. Rick imagined for her, loved her, and protected her, and she found that she loved Rick, not the so-called destined prince. Before the
middle of the story, the audience actually guessed that Ella and Rick will be arranged to be a pair, but if the film can unexpectedly add more new meanings to the familiar fairy tale, it will surprise the audience. However, the film not only allows us to see the girl Muzi in the crystal ball Falling down from the roof and seeing the prince kissing the sleeping princess, he also stood up and fell asleep, so we didn't show our creativity and thoughts. I once thought that the stepmother Frieda would join forces with all the bad guys - Snow Queen, Ya Jafar of Latin, Gaston of Beauty and the Beast, Wicked Witch of Sleeping Princess, etc. formed a bad guy party, but the result was that Frieda dealt with Ella and Rick alone; and Ella's shape was not beautiful enough (I don't know if it was to show her ordinary) Gong Li, who is full of golden armor and her stepmother, is too sexy (for this reason I can't figure out the reason), and the aesthetic feeling is not enough. The movie is promoted in the name of Shi Lijia's team, but it loses the whole street in creativity and painting. .
The film was severely criticized by major newspapers in the United States. There were even reviews of the film on Rotten Tomatoes. Many of the reviews also criticized the lack of innovative dialogue and laughter. Even less than ten minutes after the opening, Rick told the audience in a section. The vo: "I hate to tell you, but it gets worse." It's not about the fairy tale country, but it gets worse and worse.
That being said , but I don't think this film is as badly written as the American media. After all, the film has really put a lot of thought into making people think about their own values. How do we look at fate? Do we still have the courage to go out of our own way of happiness? Ella gave up not marrying the prince to marry a kitchen handyman, and even the wedding has no money to help, ask the prince to provide money, will anyone laugh at Ella "love can be eaten as bread"? ? Is this happy ever after or happy never after? What is happiness? Many people in our generation no longer believe in the love story of a prince and a princess, so we can open up a way out of it so that we can write stories and go Thinking about life is not a bad attempt.
