The golden egg, what about the harp? !

The earliest film and television version I have seen should be 'Jack, Golden Egg, Pea' balabala of CCTV's Eight Midnight Overseas Theater. At that time, Jack accidentally got peas, climbed to the empty city, met a beautiful girl, rolled the sheets, saw a harp, and coveted golden eggs. The first Jack really had no conscience. He was at ease in the beautiful empty city, stole the heart of the beautiful girl, stole the hen that lays golden eggs, and stole the harp. When I returned to the world, I immediately cut off the peas...
At that time, the skin of giants was white, and they lived in an ideal country, not as dirty as in this film; at that time, giants represented loyalty and kindness, and they were a group of ideals and morals. N has good youth, not so belligerent and greedy as described in this film. The existence of the giants at that time was to highlight the greed and evil of human beings. When the giants tried to stop Jack from stealing the golden eggs and harps, which symbolized the life force of all things, because Jack cut off the roots of the trees, the giants fell down. Jack's mother, although Feared, but still cut off the giant's throat with an axe without hesitation...
All because of the greed of the first person, Jack, the empty city has lost its former peace and beauty. Humans are rampant in the human land, but still To invade the pure land above the sky, I think the teaching of the original version should be obvious.
Of course, this film describes the giant as this, and we have reason to question the sincerity of the screenwriter and director. This is just copying "Attack on Titan". Giants are always evil, and humans have always been little white rabbits... Even The appearance of giants eating people is strikingly similar. Fortunately, this film does not give too many bloody close-ups...
As for the teachings reflected in the plot, in addition to the consistent personal heroism, the whole film is a phoenix man's counterattack and struggle Shi, is this a romance movie? I don't understand that
human beings are still addicted to power - the majesty of the crown, so the giant has to surrender, and ignore the cause and effect that should be there. Power finally repelled the invasion, and the giants coveted power, and finally bowed to power inexplicably. If the other doctrine of the film is the supremacy of power, then the film does fit the theme.
Out of respect for the earliest version, I can say that this film is absolutely blasphemous to fairy tales. The so-called Gothic images are gloomy and depressing. It feels awkward at first glance, and there is no reverence at all.
At the end, I still hope that there will be someone who can forgive me for this unscrupulous nonsense, which is just an expression of my thoughts. thanks

    The plot is bloody... No logic is needed at all, but there are two handsome guys worth it!

    The story is also made up with twists and turns, but everywhere people feel that the point is not enough. The princess is so ugly. The bean sprouts were pretty good at the beginning, except that there were not many special effects shots that would surprise people.
