tearjerker

Connor's mother looked at the tree monster as she died. Once again, I confirmed that the tree monster was my mother's obsession with the uneasy Connor.

The background music sounded from far and near, accurately positioned in the most distressing segment of the film, dropped tear gas, and let our emotions be released to the fullest. emotional experience. The stylistic words of the film are basically a conversation between the tree monster and Connor. The mother's few words basically touched the deep water area of ​​Connor's heart again and again. Every time his mother cheated, Connor struggled.

To be honest, when I watched "Pan's Labyrinth", I had an emotional breakdown once, and every time I watched a fantasy movie, it deepened my thinking: fairy tales are never for children. I don't know why screenwriters always take children as the protagonists when writing scripts, let alone children, even if an adult encounters life and death, his ability to deal with his own emotions may not be as good as a child's sometimes. Why should a 12-year-old child learn to grow up in such a short period of time? Some people spend their entire lives to face one thing, and some people spend their entire lives to forget one thing.

We use our own obsessions to transform into monsters, let the monsters in our hearts, let the most tangled and real subconscious in our hearts talk to ourselves. Monsters are just subconscious incarnations. In the face of the choice of human nature, we have to succumb to the most real thoughts in our hearts. After all, we tear off the outer hypocrisy and face the naked nature.

I like fantasy films, not because of wild imaginations, nor because of the plots that open their minds. The point of a fantasy movie is that it always touches that swaying reed in your mind. Fantasy films turn abstract things that you dare not think or say into concrete things. Give you reason and the courage to treat it equally. When faced with your own choice, you ask it, hey, I want to hear your story.

There is a monster in everyone's heart. Listen to me, don't be afraid of it, when you don't know what to do, call it out and talk to him. Trust me, you'll know how to do it yourself.
