The whole story can be understood as the process of Helena's victory over herself. There are also queens and princesses in the painting world she created. The queen is Helena's mother, and the princess is Helena herself. It is understandable that the world is divided into two black and white. For both sides of Helena's character. In real life, the mother's illness is shown in the painting world as the white queen because the princess fell into a deep sleep. This situation can also be understood as Helena blames her mother's illness on her ignorant quarrel with her mother. In the end, Helena finally got the treasure mirror mask, awakened the White Queen, and returned herself to real life, and her mother was fortunately safe.

In fact, the plot is about the process of a little girl's gradual maturity due to the crisis of her mother's illness. The highlight lies in the exaggerated expression of the film's Arabian Nights. A spider with always big eyes, a flying "a real useful book", a giant floating in the sky, a sphinx who loves to ask questions but has a low IQ, a cat with a human face who likes to eat paper, her world is colorful , In this world, the characters must wear masks. It can be said that they can draw whatever they think of (reminds me of a popular comic "One Piece" recently), there is no impossible, only the unthinkable.

Now that I have mentioned this, I will mention my own feelings by the way. The things I saw in this film are very similar to the scene when I was dreaming. There is no reason at all. In my eyes, they all seem familiar. (Let's pull some out here, when it comes to dreaming, female compatriots are very happy, because according to scientists' investigation of males, because of certain physiological factors, most of the things in dreams are sex, blood, violence, pursuit and fear, and those wonderful Most of the beautiful dreams come from the minds of women. Mmm, let’s be content... At least 1/3 of your life is happier than men...)

Finally, to sum up, this film produced in 2005 is very suitable for those who look Go up to the big men, who are generally stout and extremely sturdy, but the male prostitutes who are delicate in their hearts and love to fantasize. Let's go and see it. It is recommended to watch it before going to bed.
