Let's talk about the impression first. This film may be the biggest black fairy tale movie with the greatest actor status. It is adapted from a classic stage play, but the director obviously did not do a good job of filming. It feels like a musical all the way through, but the movie and the stage play are themselves There are totally two things. The first fifteen minutes of the special movie is very messy and noisy. The lines are all singing, and they are very unpleasant. Not all lines are suitable for singing. All kinds of musical songs and character scenes make people think about it. Indigestion, this also involves the biggest problem of this movie.
As a black fairy tale, many fairy tales are habitually mixed together, and there are generally two ways in it. The first is like "Story of Stories", which directly divides the movie into several parts, and each part has basically no influence, and each part tells a story; the second is like "Brothers Grimm", which extracts the iconic parts of various stories. Thus forming a new story. This movie is more greedy. It is not going to abandon the original story of the fairy tale and want to make up a new one. However, the movie is limited in length and can be mixed but not chaotic. So the whole first half of this movie tells various fairy tales, and each part is very complete. However, the constant switching of different stories makes people feel a sense of division. The bakers are indeed the main characters of the movie and are responsible for connecting the various stories, but the sense of existence is not enough and not enough. Therefore, the first half of the movie is broken, and the lines must be sung, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.
So the director spent a full half of the space and finally brought the main characters together, but the number of people was really too much, so he often had to engage in a group action, so the cohesion of the film was lost. These actors are not only responsible for their own fairy tales, but also go to the home scene of the movie from time to time. I am tired for them. Fortunately, it drags the blessings of the original stage play. The second half of this movie is of great educational significance.
The main characters in the movie have their own evils, which leads to the final accident. The bakers became liars at all costs in order to get the children; Little Red Riding Hood and the boy became thieves; the prince married the princess and went to affair; Rapunzel left the prince to run away alone; Cinderella refused to welcome her with her own bitch desire. The main characters have their own dark side of human nature, but they also have enlightenment. I will pick a representative one.
The prince and Cinderella.
The Cinderella in the movie is actually a bit of a bitch. The dinner party she went to the palace three times was in fact intended to marry into the royal family, otherwise she would not go again and again. But she understood that it would be difficult for others to cherish, so she went to banquets three times and ran away, leaving clues for the prince the last time so that the prince could spend his energy to find her. It's a pity that although Cinderella is very smart, all men in the world are liars and all women are deceived. The difference is that a happy woman finds a big liar and will lie to her for a lifetime; an unfortunate woman finds a little liar , Will lie to her for a while. The prince is a petty little liar, but don't think that petty people are ruthless, they just take back their feelings quickly, and what they enjoy is the process of chasing. The prince said to Cinderella: "I thought that if you were mine, I would never wish for more." In fact, the prince did not lie. For him, a fond, he might think so when chasing others, but chasing When he arrives, he will look for new pursuits. So the prince finally said: "I shall always love the maiden who run away." He always loves the maiden who will run away from the prince instead of the one who stays with him all his life.
Cinderella’s undesirable method itself uses the wrong people. For the prince, what can’t be obtained? How can a woman refuse, so Cinderella became a treasure, so the love between Cinderella and the prince Destined to only be accepted by Cinderella. But Cinderella doesn't actually love the prince so much. Whether to continue to believe in a lover who has betrayed you, the point is never trust, but how much you love him. Marriage and love are destined to be different. Cinderella does not love the prince so much, and the prince’s love for Cinderella is not sustainable. Two people like this are destined not to grow old. I like this group of characters very much. We only know that the prince and princess are destined to be together, but who cares about life after marriage? That is destined to be a chicken feather.
Witch and Rapunzel.
This group is actually very close to the final theme, mainly related to the education of parents and children. The witch is actually a very glorious character. She took Rapunzel away but was really treated as a daughter. In order to protect Rapunzel from the outside world, the witch locked Rapunzel in a tall building. The adaptation of this fairy tale is very vivid. Many parents protect their children too much. Isn’t it the same as locking their children in a tower and treating them as princesses? ? But any excessive approach is not appropriate. The more you protect your child, the easier it is for your child to get injured, and you can stand firmer from countless falls. Isn't it because many people who stumble and fail to get up or are easily deceived are because they have been in the "tower" for a long time? Rapunzel finally left the witch, the child will go away eventually, you have to let go. The ending of the original stage play Rapunzel was much more miserable. She went crazy after seeing the giant in isolation, and was trampled to death by the giant when she ran around. This is ironic. The girl who had been kept in captivity by the witch in the name of love for many years died unexpectedly after she went out for a while. This is also the murder of love.
The main line of the story actually originated from the witch. She wanted to regain her youth and asked the bakers to go to the Black Forest to find four treasures, which caused the following accident. There is actually a major reason why the witch wants to regain her youth. She hopes that her daughter will not feel ashamed. This reason has been clearly stated in the movie many times. In fact, this is also true in life. Children may not feel ashamed of their parents, but parents often have this idea; and no matter what the children think of their parents, parents seldom feel ashamed of their children. This is how the water flows down. The love of normal parents is definitely stronger, even if the way of expression is wrong.
The last song of Meryl the Witch is one of the three songs I think is useful and good-looking. It is necessary for this song to appear in the movie. The witch's admonition to everyone is very reasonable-everyone is wrong, but everyone does not admit that they are wrong, and wants to avoid responsibility and blame others. But we all know that it's not one person's fault, and no matter how much you blame others, it won't help. In the end, the witch, who lost her daughter and magic at the same time, chose to blew herself up. Only then did I realize that maybe it is not too important for the witch’s youth and beauty. The most important children and their professional abilities are the same as normal parents.
Jack and Little Red Riding Hood
The main reason these two are put together is because they are both children, and the theme of the movie is about the education of parents and children (although it was only reflected in the end), and these two children and the last two great talents formed A scene where parents tell their children educational stories. Without these two children, the theme of educating children cannot be established.
Jack's nature is kind, and life allows him to steal the giant's things, causing later changes. Jack's greatest educational significance is actually his bravery. After the witch loses his magic power, he loses his faith. After all, the witch has always been strong by magic. But Jack, as the most vulnerable group, did not give up, and finally joined forces to defeat the giant. Perhaps wisdom, courage, and cooperation are far more important than personal strength. The problem with Little Red Riding Hood is that she is overly dependent on her family. She has been following her family's instructions, and when she loses her family's instructions, she loses direction. But no one is really alone, never be afraid of no one behind you. You should also judge independently. Parents can give you suggestions, but children also need to make their own choices. Regarding morality, there may be really no accurate standards, so pick up your own balance ⚖️.
In the end, the main point of the movie was actually not reflected until the next twenty minutes, and the display was obvious. This is a bit like preaching, it is a matter of the plot setting of the movie. But the quality of these twenty minutes is very good. There are two of the three useful songs in the whole movie, before and after defeating the giant. The meanings of these two songs are not the same. The first one focuses on how children view the education of their parents; the second one focuses on how parents educate their children. For children, they cannot always rely on their parents, nor can they be judged by their parents' standards. Each of us has our own independent personality, and we need to have our own standards to treat the world. But believe that everyone is not alone, there is always support behind you. For parents, it is necessary to be cautious about educating their children. Parents should accompany their children, give them enough love, set an example to their children, and cannot escape like the baker’s father. Parents’ educational words and deeds are the biggest curse that can affect a child’s life, so we must be cautious when educating children and let them understand that there is hope for their wishes, but at a price.
This kind of two-way talk is actually very educational. It is recommended to watch the last 20 minutes. Those two paragraphs are very good. But from my point of view, not everyone is suitable to be a parent. Everyone has something to do and not to do. If you can’t give your children the right education and care, it’s better to take the course of being a good parent first. If you can’t pass, it’s better to think about whether you should be a parent. The setting of the spell is very interesting, and the spell has the possibility of backlash. The problem of the failure of children's education affects not only the children, but also destined to devour themselves, and just like the family curse, this misfortune will continue to pass. So please make sure that you can really get through it yourself, some people are destined to be unable to operate. ?Please remember that Wishes may not be fake, but at what they take. Careful the tale you tell, that is the spell.
