Fairy tale movies, or animated movies, are mostly light-hearted, like The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.
I thought I was an ordinary girl, but I didn't expect to be a princess. The protagonist of the film, Clara, has such a wonderful life.
Clara had been mired in the grief of her mother's death, reluctant to attend festive events such as the Christmas ball, even with little persuasion from her father, sister, and brother.
The gift her mother had left her was locked with a marble lock, but there was no key.
This is a gift left by my mother, and she must know what it is. In order to open the lock, she went to the dance to find the key from the godfather.
Following the guide, she came to a completely different world.
There, Clara met a soldier, a Nutcracker. The two face danger and go through ups and downs, but Clara finds the key with her belief that "I must find that key."
After opening the gift box with the key, there is nothing in it except the words "everything you need is here" left by my mother.
Clara had to prepare to return to the world that belonged to her, but she did not expect that because she was caught in a "trap", it would cause a battle for the survival of the four kingdoms.
Interestingly, that key can also open a machine. This machine is not an ordinary machine. It was invented by Clara's mother back then, and it can revive mechanical toys to human beings.
For example, a stationary mouse toy is placed under the machine, and after the mechanism is activated, the mouse toy becomes a movable mouse soldier. Conversely, if the rat soldier is hit by an activated machine, it will also turn back into a rat toy.
If the loyalty of the Nutcracker soldiers is a common film theme, then the use of physical knowledge that is often seen in this film is a bright spot.
Clara is a princess who is proficient in physics, and her knowledge of physics has helped her out of danger many times.
Fairy tales are created by people, and the disputes in them are similar to the human world, but they are also caused by the "obsession" in someone's heart.
The sweet-talking, caring person turns out to be a scheming person. People with bad reputation and weird behavior may just be created by the outside world.
It may be difficult to identify in reality, but the movie will tell us and present a perfect ending.
Therefore, the battle between the pros and cons cannot be avoided, but maybe because it is an animated movie after all, the fighting is not fierce, and even a little cute - after all, it is a soldier turned into a large number of mechanical toys, which has a kind of mechanical beauty.
But that's not important, what's important is-
What Clara experienced in the world her mother created gave her the inner strength to live well after a loved one was gone.
She found the key that her mother had left her.
