The theme of this film is desire, and it uses surreal techniques throughout, amplifying a lot of bloody and dark sides, and it is not very acceptable for this style. The queen's desire for her son, paranoia and mastery is the first desire, she knows what she wants, and can pay the same price, and this desire consumes her husband at first, and finally herself.
In the second story, the old woman racked her brains and wanted to have a good time with the king, knowing that what the other party loved was just an illusion that did not exist, she also wanted to indulge and burn herself like a moth to the fire. sexual desire. The sudden magic brought her back to youth, satisfying her desire for a short time, and then what ended in the end was nothingness, and what was false could never come true.
The last princess, like all the girls, imagined Prince Charming to be tall, handsome, and brave, but in reality he was an ugly, blood-drinking giant. She went through all kinds of hardships and finally killed the giant and took control of her own life. She seems to be the only one with a happy ending, but is that really the case? Even if she becomes emperor, as long as she still has the desire for Prince Charming in her heart, the wheel of fortune will never stop.
Desires and obsessions make us unrecognizable. When we want something and have something, don't forget, we always lose it. On the way of chasing desire, we may pay a heavy price like a queen, or be frightened by the opposite, or be deceived by a short-lived falsehood.
So, don't pick it up, don't put it down, the essence of life is reincarnation, and the essence of everything is nothingness.
