In the original fairy tale, a wizard was not invited to attend the princess's birthday banquet where the guests gathered because of the king's carelessness. However, the wizard was narrow-minded. He retaliated wildly, and cast an evil curse on the princess. Judging from the original work, wizards are not inherently bad guys. The ones who give gifts and curse may be wizards. The roles can be changed, and the black humor is full of realism. In the movie, the gift is set as a fairy, and it is the witch who imposes the curse. The name is full of evil. In this way, the good and the wicked become opposing existences. The fairy uses magic to send all good things. The witch is born a wicked person, and it is her job to do evil.
The wicked only do bad things, and the good people only do good things. Just like a child often points to a character on TV and asks, is he a good person or a bad person? It is a pity that there is no evil for no reason, and goodness is often disguised. When we were young, we persevered in thinking that princes and fairies are beautiful, while witches are evil. But when we grow up, we not only discover that fairies and witches are all illusions fabricated by masters of fairy tales, but also recognize that the most incomprehensible in the real world are the most useless "people" in fairy tales.
From the perspective of performance methods, the film is still relatively loyal to the text. From the performance method to the content, it restores "storytelling" rather than "acting stories." The beginning of the movie is to open a beautifully bound fairy tale book, and when the story turns, it also uses the form of a flip book like chapter conversion. Finally, I close the book to echo the opening of the film. The more fun is to restore all the scenes in the book. For example, the falling boulders turn into colorful bubbles, the shot arrows turn into flowers in the wind, and the hot boiling water turns into rainbows. It's a pity that the characters are also moving geometric figures, whether the princess or the guards are copied directly from a children's book. The trees and landscapes are all background boards, and the mobility is extremely limited.
The only favorite court musician, who used various tricks to steal alcohol, always looked drunk and dim, pretending that he was pushing a cup with the two kings, and falling into narcissism. The scariest thing is when Rose is tempted to walk towards the tower. In that period, the style of painting suddenly changed from warm to horror. The princess's stiff body and turquoise eyes, accompanied by horror movie-like background music, scared me to look straight.
From an adult point of view, there are also many hints in the movie. For example, young girls will be inexplicably tempted and even hurt, so be sure to follow the instructions of the nurse. There are young girls who must pursue true love, because only true love can save you from the darkness. As well as the prince’s "Shield of Virtue" and "Sword of Truth", they are full of preaching.
The cartoons in the past all talked about magic, making the children awed by nature. Respect and distinguish things beyond cognitive ability. The good is the magic of the fairy and the gift of the gods; the evil is the curse of the witch and the temptation of the evil. But the most difficult moment is that you have to be brave enough to hold your sword across the horse and compete with the evil dragon yourself. Today's cartoons talk about toys, animals, and even robots, but use human life as a blueprint to imagine the world they live in.
Today, perhaps only children are full of awe in the world.
Think about it, human beings are really arrogant.
