Pinocchio was born from a high-quality log. As a masterpiece of art, it naturally gave him fresh life, but made him fall into poverty from the very beginning. This is the imperfect beginning of this fairy tale. It is destined that the story of the puppet Pinocchio will be narrated in a dark tone, reflecting the realistic trajectory of the adult world, and completing a journey of growth in the fairy tale space with the light and new life at the end.
The old carpenter Gopetto finally had a child. This child is the masterpiece of old Gopeto, who created him and named it Pinocchio. This child gave old Gopetto a taste of happiness from poverty, and it was as good as the smell of bread and cheese given to him by others, which was enough to dispel the haze of life. The fairy tale begins by confronting the misfortune of life, and the old Gopeto's starvation shows a habitual normality when he begs for food from the people. This is a world in which individuals cannot change their own destiny, and old Gopetto is just one of the poor people. Because most of people's lives are not easy, no one valued the carpentry skills of old Gopeto, including wooden furniture such as chairs, tables, and doors, as long as the wooden furniture has not fallen apart, no one is willing to let old Gopeto come to repair it. This is the reality reflected by the fairy tale, which is barren and desolate.
Old Gopeto's relief is that he finally has a child. A puppet that makes old Gopeto a responsible father. This father and his children are struggling in poverty, and there is no beautiful depiction of the fairy tale world. By the fire, the children gathered around the grandmother's knees, listening to the kind old woman tell the story of a distant, beautiful fairy tale that had been washed away by reality. The reality in front of old Gopetto is that in order to buy a literacy textbook for the puppet, he pawned his coat and vest to keep out the cold. When Pinocchio sold his literacy textbooks in exchange for tickets to the puppet troupe to watch the show, old Gopeto, in a single coat, shivered in the cold wind.
Compared to the marionettes in a puppet show, Pinocchio is always free. When he was welcomed by his peers, he also caused a burst of surprise and shock. Pinocchio has no strings, he is not a puppet for performance, he is a human child. After telling his story to the giant leader of the troupe, Pinocchio moved the leader and received five gold coins as a gift.
At this point, the film begins the adventures of the puppet Pinocchio after truancy. It is an anti-missionary narrative, integrating the insidious, treacherous, cunning, and ruthless of the adult world into Pinocchio's growth process, in what looks like a fairy tale. The deduction completes the whipping and revealing.
Pinocchio's five gold coins attract the peeps of cats and foxes. As the two villains in the film, the cat and the fox, one has a broken leg and the other is blind. Under the light of gold coins, the broken legs are walking like flying, and the blind eyes are shining. The fairy tale unabashedly exposes the hypocrisy and ugliness of the adult world. The growing Pinocchio is weak, so weak that he can't tell the simple difference between good and evil, good and bad, which allows the cat and the fox to succeed and defraud Pinocchio of all the gold coins.
Pinocchio's time with fairies was a turning point for a growing child. Fairies are the embodiment of goodness and beauty, and they are also a kind of desire in this world. She is a guide, a rising force. The fairy tale completes the setting of "hope" with fairies, but in a world without "hope", how to set up the pursuit of "hope"? The fairy tale points out that "hope" is in the bottom of everyone's heart, and only after experiencing the baptism of hardships will they breed fearless courage, and then embark on a smooth road to new life.
Under the lure of his classmates, Pinocchio went to the legendary "toy town", where he could have fun and play without the teacher's reprimand or the pressure of homework. "Hometown of Toys", a kind of escape, a place to amuse one's will and grind body and mind, the transformation of the traps of the adult world in fairy tales. Children trapped in the "toy land" showed their weak-willed side in their reckless play. Together with Pinocchio, the children became donkeys under the spell of the "toy land".
Pinocchio, who became a donkey, was sold to the circus and was lame at the first performance. Pinocchio, who lost his performance value, was thrown into the sea by the circus master. Under the scouring of the sea, Pinocchio recovered its original appearance. This is the vast sea of life. Sharks, wind and waves, as inevitable disasters on the way, help Pinocchio's growth journey.
The catastrophe of life is bound to usher in the reunion of life. The fairy tale comes to a bright end with the reunion of Pinocchio and the old Gopetto. Having experienced suffering, Pinocchio has flesh and soul, and he is no longer a poor, ignorant wood. He began to grow, full of life. This is the essence of human nature, which injected the light of life into the puppet Pinocchio, allowing Pinocchio to complete the transformation from a puppet to a real child.
When the pains of growth subsided, the joy and comfort of the old Gopetto were further presented in the flesh and blood of Pinocchio. The father and son hugged tightly, embracing the new life in fairy tales. This new life is also a hard-to-find smooth road in this world.
