After watching this movie, many people's first reaction is to evaluate the good and evil of the characters and to judge right and wrong. However, as a fairy tale movie, basically all the characters are just symbols and collective subconscious.
So there is no question of good and evil. For example, the family of the dead acrobats is just the carrier of the story. The princess needs to kill the giants by herself, which leads to the necessity of their death. Only when there is no hope of relying on others can the princess be able to rely on herself. .
For kings and giants, many people don't understand why they are actually symbols of patriarchal and husband's power. They think they are very good to princesses. This is a common cognitive problem in us. We usually place sensory and material desires on respect and love. On top of that, satisfying physiological desires is only the basic needs of a person's survival, not all needs.
From playing the flea absent-mindedly when the princess played the tune she wrote for him, to when the princess yearns for love and longs for marriage, she doesn't have the slightest respect and regards choosing her son-in-law as her own fun. The king's love for the princess is not as good as his own The flea, which led to the tragedy of the princess marrying the giant. From the beginning to the end, the giant didn't care about the princess' feelings at all. Many people said that the princess disliked the giant's uglyness and poverty. I was surprised. He almost kidnapped the princess and brought the princess back to the cave full of animal bones. I thought he would at least be with the princess. Cultivate the relationship, but no, he did not find that the princess can only eat cooked food, there is a detail that when the princess was in the palace, she found that the king had cooked the meat undercooked in order to raise fleas. She couldn't accept it at all, let alone raw meat. , and then directly raped the princess...
Then after the princess was rescued, he did suffer a lot. He killed the family who saved the princess, and only found the princess after being injured. Then the princess pretended to hug him, killed him, and went back to find his father. Is there any problem? Why do you love others and others will love you? What kind of robber logic is this? Besides, it's not necessarily love, it's just possessive. From the beginning to the end, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the princess, but the giant only moved him...
In the end, there is no need to care so much. Gothic fairy tales obviously treat giants and kings as symbols. Killing them will allow the princess to break through the shackles of patriarchy and husband's power and become herself.
