"Pan's Labyrinth" is so grim that she doesn't show the slightest emotion. A Spanish girl in World War II fantasizes that she is a princess in a fairy tale and uses her imagination to resist the cruelty of reality. In my opinion, she is more of anesthetizing herself. From a realistic point of view, the Pan God in the labyrinth is just an illusion created by the girl herself. In the end, it seems to us that she committed suicide, but she thinks this is just a way to return to her fairy tale kingdom. A happy and beautiful kingdom, and she is the princess of the kingdom. At the end of the shot, her dark blood is in stark contrast with the golden kingdom. The shot seems to suggest that instead of letting her die in regret and pain, it is better to use fantasy to fulfill her, at least the moment she dies, that is, the moment when consciousness disappears , She feels happy and happy. With the disappearance of consciousness, this kind of happiness is her last feeling in this world. As a conclusion of her life, she is satisfied and happy in the end despite experiencing misfortune, so her life is also gained meaning.
The fairy tale kingdom in "Bridge to Wonderland" also comes from the fantasy of the protagonists Leslie and Jess. Jess, who is good at painting, and Leslie, who is beautiful in writing, express the kingdom in the form of poetry and painting. The kingdom was born out of their cruelty and disgust for reality. Jess is the only son of a poor family, and his five children live on their parents' meagre income alone. Because of poverty, Jess was regarded as an outlier other than the majority at school. He thought he was a country boy and was bullied by his classmates. Leslie is a transfer student, and her independent personality makes her also an outlier in the school and is rejected. The two outcasts naturally become good friends, and Leslie leads Jess into her own fantasy kingdom of giants, the Dark Lord and their castle. Jess has always followed Leslie. He sometimes wonders. He is puzzled by Leslie's imagination with a realistic vision. He doesn't understand why the wasteland becomes a beautiful snowy mountain and valley. It would be the Dark Lord's minion, as if Sanchi didn't understand Don Quixote, but he followed her with no regrets because she was his best friend. Before meeting Leslie, Jess was lonely, had no friends in class, and was at odds with his sister and sister at home. He felt that his father gave all his love to his sister, and he had nothing. The appearance of Leslie brought him an unprecedented feeling, the beauty of caring and caring, so he was willing to play with her, follow her, and cater to her fantasies, although his realistic vision did not see everything Leslie fantasized about.
There are many hidden possibilities in "Bridge to Wonderland", which can be freely interpreted according to its plot, and I like to speculate on the next development of the plot with pessimism. In the middle of the story, I thought of a sad ending, maybe Leslie is a paranoid psychopath, and all the imagination of fairy tale kingdoms has a morbid color and loses its meaning. There is also a more terrifying possibility, just like the most terrifying ending of "Ding-Dong" and "Harry Potter", Ding-Dong is just an imagination of Nobita, and those fantasy stories are just Harry Potter's imagination, in fact, Nobita Harry Potter and Harry Potter are nothing but psychopaths, and the magical stories that happen to them are nothing but a falsehood, and the intention is only to demonstrate that the cruelty of the real world has no room for sweet fantasies. I'm terrified that in the end we find out that Jess is just Leslie's imaginary companion, or the other way around. We are all looking for another self in the world, so that loneliness can disappear, just like Aristophanes said that human beings used to have four hands and four legs, but they were separated into two halves by God, so everyone is looking for their own other in the world. Half, or as "Twin Flowers" tells, there is another self in a corner of the world, and something with the same fate happened to him. Fortunately, Jess and Leslie are both real, until Leslie falls into the river, hits a rock and dies.
Go to Baidu's discussion area to read the discussion of "Bridge to Wonderland", and one of the titles is "When you see which part you cry". I just realized that I wasn't the only one with shallow eyes. I ordered "When Jess's father said Leslie died", and my face was wet for the last 25 minutes of the film, I didn't expect Leslie's smile before leaving was the last time they saw each other, what she said See you turned out to be Farewell, I heard that farewell means goodbye never to be seen again. A long shot of a close-up of Jess's face is matched with emotional music. It tells that in the last meeting, Jess's feelings for Leslie reached the highest point. When he felt the happiest moment in his life, he was told that Leslie was dead. The shot was subtle but full of power. , when Jess shouted no, he didn't believe it, my tears couldn't help shedding, the teardrops that kept dripping confirmed the sadness in my heart, sad for the misfortune of good people, and felt again what Aristotle said The purifying effect emanating from tragedy washes the mind.
Leslie died when the rope broke and fell into the water on their way to their fairy tale kingdom, we don't know what Leslie was doing alone in the kingdom, or she wanted to set things up to surprise Jess, or she went to wait for Jess, or she just Lie casually. But we learned from Leslie's father that Leslie loves Jess because he is the best friend in her life, and he is grateful that Jess feels happiness in his daughter's limited life, but Jess refuses to believe that Leslie will die easily because She is the Princess of the fairy tale kingdom, and when she is the Princess, he is willing to be the Prince of the kingdom. He thinks he is most responsible for Leslie's death, because he is selfish, he is unwilling to share the love of music teacher with Leslie, that day he went to visit the museum with his favorite music teacher, he thought about inviting Leslie to go with him, but he His selfishness outweighs friendship, and he wants to monopolize his teacher's love, so Leslie goes to the kingdom alone and dies in that river. Leslie taught Jess a lot of things, friendship, thinking, and also gave him a lot of things, even her death, let him regain his father's love, it was the love of the family that relieved the pain caused by Leslie's death, but Made him feel more indebted to Leslie. These Leslie don't know, she has fallen asleep underwater. At the last moment, Leslie may be afraid, struggling, and finally feeling nothing more than this, because she once wrote an essay about the feeling of diving underwater, and she finally felt the tranquility and novelty of the underwater. Or she felt sorry that she couldn't stay with Jess any longer, the best friend, leaving him so soon. It is impossible to imagine the pain of Leslie, she has always been so optimistic and cheerful, confident and independent. So I deprived her of the right to pain, and fantasized about her at last calm and regretful. Leslie gave Jess a fairy tale kingdom, the meaning of which was to let Jess know that he could look at the real world from a different angle, which most people call fantasy, unrealistic, when this fantasy turns harsh reality into poetry life, so that life has a positive meaning, or most people think that this unrealistic fantasy will kill the will, I think this fantasy is to change the harsh reality around you on the premise of living a positive life, Try to feel the good in life. But I have always wondered whether this fantasy is still possible under the cruelest reality? I always feel that if in the worst hunger and cold
Jess finally built a bridge leading to the fairy tale kingdom, which is a kind of compensation and memorial to Leslie. If he had built a bridge, Leslie wouldn't have died. The bridge is the place that leads to his and Leslie's fantasy, this memory belongs to him and Leslie created together, this place is the proof that the memory is not forgotten. I have always expected Jess to meet Leslie in his memory again in the fairy tale kingdom, but the film has always killed my expectations. It seems to show that Leslie is indeed dead, the soul leaves, and the consciousness disappears. The fairy tale kingdom does not exist in reality, and the princess of the fairy tale kingdom was killed by reality. Jess finally brought his sister to the fairy tale kingdom he and Leslie created, to bring another princess to the lost kingdom, he said he was Prince only when she was Princess, when he said this , I thought it was for Leslie. The lost fairy tale kingdom seems to be back, but the real princess dies. The boundary between reality and fairy tales is still left to us to answer, but before we answer, the figure of Prince Jess and Princess Leslie, who depend on each other for life, will probably pass by our eyes.
