High energy strikes ahead! caution! This is not a drill!

The movie "The Witch" starring Anne Hathaway was released on 10.22. Before I watched this movie, the editor had high expectations for it, but after watching it, I was really embarrassed. Let’s get rid of it first, that is, the logic of the film is flawed, the characters are too flat, and there is no poisonous, beautiful and sassy witch you want.

little boy and his guinea pig

Because it is a fairy tale, it is not as complicated as the adult world. The protagonist of the story is a young boy whose parents are taken away in a car accident, so his grandmother takes him home.

Grandma is a very strong person and very optimistic. She told the boy that she had lost her closest person just like him, but people need to look forward . She danced with the boy, cooked delicious food for him, and bought him a guinea pig.

The pain will be healed by time, and the little boy gradually returned to his former happiness until he met a strange woman . The child's intuition is very keen. In the eyes of the little boy, this woman is very strange, so he told his grandmother about it.

It also extends the keyword "witch" .

The grandmother is a very active person. Because the results of the calculation show that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, she spends a lot of money to take her grandson to a luxury hotel. What I didn't expect was that here, a group of witches was about to hold a meeting, and the two of them hit the muzzle instead.

super beautiful

There is a distinct class system in the witch assembly, and it is the High Witch (Anne Hathaway) who controls all the witches . Like every fairy tale villain, witches share the same traits: bald heads, claws, odd feet, and long, narrow mouths . To this end, they always wear heavy makeup, elbow-length gloves, and hats to hide their ugly bodies.

Since she is the villain, naturally there is no good word to describe her except for a beautiful face. Pure, undisguised evil is what they sum up .

In this story, witches hate children very much, so they always try their best to persecute children and turn them into small animals.

The little boy accidentally discovered the witch's plan, was turned into a little mouse (the mouse is really cute!) , and fell into the pursuit of the witches. Unfortunately, the high-level witch's potion is indecipherable by the grandmother, but the protagonists did not lose heart and began to destroy the witch's plan and save children all over the world .

I believe everyone can see the simplicity and even the frailty of this story. Like every bedtime story, an ordinary man becomes a dragon slaying warrior, and an evil dragon easily becomes the soul of a warrior .

The story of the witch is also so weak. The protagonist, the little boy, is witty and brave to fight against the villain, and the villain witch is a brainless vase... Not only does he behave exaggeratedly and strangely, but he also talks a lot. Otherwise, how can he achieve the "great cause" of the little boy .

To be honest, I didn't want to complain, but I can't do it!

The reason why the editor has been emphasizing the word "fairy tale" is because if these words are not used as a shield, this movie is a useless spicy chicken. I mentioned earlier that the characters are one-sided, but it's actually more than that. The villain's shaping is like splicing rags . It will be beautiful, powerful, and magical for a while. .

The contradiction lies in the fact that the witch's force value is many times higher than the protagonist's, but she is too powerful in the front, and in order to win justice later, she can only reduce the dimension and attack, turning the witch into a dead man and forgetting too much. Cannon fodder with magic (roll your eyes.jpg) .

cute little mice

In the end, the protagonists who turned into little mice idealistically, called the children to hold a secret meeting, and prepared to fight back against the witches all over the world. Can give you patience.

In addition to witches, there are some points that are very... speechless: for example, grandma keeps coughing, obviously she has a disease, but she has not expressed this content, is it just so that grandson, who has only a few years of life after becoming a mouse, can be with grandma. die together?

Ah, I really can't help but not complain, unless you have a 100-meter-thick filter, or go for Annie's beauty, or go for the little mice, or you really can't!

Ball wave attention, crab~\(≥▽≤)/~
