As a 19-year-old, after watching it, I thought The Nutcracker and the Four Realms would be great for someone my age. The pictures are beautiful, the actors are beautiful and the acting is good, the plot is easy to guess but exciting, and the reasoning is simple but profound. From the first time The Nutcracker and Clara met, to the change in their eyes when they finally parted, it really touched my heart.
Eyes tell stories.
This movie tells the story of the eyes. The actors all performed that feeling, the joy of being trusted, the pain of being abandoned, the deep despair and determination hidden deep... Although there is only one movie, I seem to see one story after another.
Clara's father's helplessness and deep pain were shown on his stiff face when he saw his daughter put on his wife's skirt, but he said: It's okay. Described here is a husband who misses his wife to the extreme and a father who is not understood by his children.
The Sugar Plum Fairy once yelled at Clara: "You should understand me, you have been abandoned by Mary for so long!" Then I saw Clara's eyes widen and pupils shrink, (I like the details here) and immediately calmed down, "No , no," she said calmly, "she gave me everything I needed, and I'm not alone. Neither are you, neither of us are alone." In fact, the heart of this fantasy world is very simple... but time will Change everything, no matter how firm the original intention is.
The setting of the movie is that time in the fantasy world passes much faster than the real world, which means that Mary has a lot more time away from the fantasy world than Clara.
This reminds me of a plot in Interstellar. An astronaut with human hope fell on a planet that was ten times different from the time outside, and sent a signal that this place was suitable for human migration, so he waited for the person who came to meet him, only to find out that he was too Lonely, lonely enough to stand and lie. Can I say he is selfish? There are only a few decades in front of the same ice surface, no one can communicate, and one person's planet, even if he can wait for rescue, is uncertain, as if the entire universe is only left with his own infinite loneliness...
Likewise, it is precisely because I understand the loneliness of being abandoned that I cannot righteously accuse the Sugar Plum Fairy of being "selfish." Her final ending can only be said to be fate... the fate of being unable to grasp the tail of time with heavy feelings.
I think what this film wants to tell us through the sugar plum fairy is, don't rely too much on one relationship or one person, there are paths that you can only walk by yourself.
When Clara's younger brother got the Nutcracker toy, he said "The Nutcracker is your boyfriend" in front of Clara, I thought it would be a love drama, a love that fights side by side with the Nutcracker. I didn't expect that they would not be together in the end, but their eyes were obviously strong reluctance and deep love...especially the look of the Nutcracker when they parted. But in the end, he only watched Clara disappear into the cave, before raising a hand and waving it belatedly.
I still remember the joy on the Nutcracker's face when she heard Clara say "I won't let you leave me half a step", like a light.
Love...from the original sincerity and trust.
Is it right? The love that I have lost and never met again, will the whole world look up to me when I am as strong as the heroine?
