This is the funniest Disney anti-routine "fairy tale" movie I've ever seen~ I didn't expect such a healing and family-friendly movie to actually inspire me about the power of belief~
Only after seeing the end did I understand why the magic godmother came to the wisher more than 20 years late. It turned out to be because the wisher was a helpless case. All the fairy godmothers felt that she was incurable and did not want to. To choose her this task, and this just happened to be turned over by our protagonist, the fairy godmother, Eleanor, to perform the task more than 20 years later. The key reason for Eleanor's success is her belief that she can complete the task. It is mainly divided into two levels of understanding. The first level is to believe that the wisher can be saved. Eleanor did not know that the wisher was a person from the beginning. The helpless case that has been abandoned by all fairy godmothers (but according to her optimistic attitude and way of thinking, even if she knows, she must believe that the wisher can be saved); the second level is that she has a firm belief in herself , even though she used to count down at the Fairy Godmother Academy and couldn't learn anything, but she still believes that she can complete the task without learning many spells, and make the wisher happy ever after. And beliefs are powerful, because what matters is not how things will look rationally (like the wish-maker in the movie is considered hopeless by all the fairy godmothers because of his character and attitude), but what you believe, and then You will act with this belief to create, it can make a person change from the status of being shaped by reality to the creator of reality, life attitudes, behaviors, and every move will be generated according to their beliefs. Make people move forward in the direction of realizing their beliefs and one step closer to their goals. The future is vague, but Eleanor, who has faith, is determined. She does not need to see the future clearly and be instructed by it. On the contrary, it is her faith that gives the vague future a shape and infects the surrounding people with her firmness. People see this shape with the people around them, and through themselves and the people around them actively act around the belief, and slowly concretize this shape, and the belief gradually becomes a reality. In the movie, not only Eleanor believed that she would make the wisher happy, but also reflected in countless details of life. For example, she believed that the wisher's eldest daughter could overcome stage fright and perform perfectly. Her firm and trusting attitude gave the eldest daughter a hint of courage. It made the eldest daughter less suspicious of herself. At the same time, Eleanor's cheerful attitude runs through everything she does. This positive energy has its own aura, which attracts people around her, especially the part where she sings in the square with her two daughters, although it is for the eldest daughter. She practiced singing in public and sang first by herself, but she herself was the one who enjoyed it the most, and the joy of being in it also infected the people around her, which made the youngest daughter have a great time, and also made the eldest daughter super happy. Slowly, I felt that singing in front of people was no big deal, so I led the people around me to join in the chorus slowly.
The intentionally anti-conventional ending is also good, explaining that it is not necessary to live in a fairy tale in the traditional sense and miss the beauty of real life.
The funniest part is Eleanor calling his roommate on the side of the road. The image of the heroine is too suitable for Eleanor, a simple, honest and cute fairy with a sweet contrast!
