Lost time,Story time

The structure of the story is a bit like Silent Hill, but better and more engaging than Silent Hill.
Many details and even the plot and the fairy tale "Peter Pan" are based on each other, such as baby teeth, lighthouses, necklaces, Laura is Wendy who can tell stories, and even this orphanage can be understood as "neverland" - or Rather, this is another version of Peter Pan, where the dead children are all lonely Peter Pan, who need playmates, who need to be appeased, that's why they take Simon away. And unlike "Peter Pan", at the end of this story, "Wendy" stayed with them and won't grow old again, because she too died.
When I was in elementary school, I pressed Peter Pan, which was borrowed from my classmates, under a math book, and saw that my eyes and the tip of my nose were red. At that time, I didn't want to grow up. I remember that when I was very young, I always built everything I could use around me - mats, pillows, curtains, quilts, clothes - into the shape of a small house, and then I stayed there by myself. Go in and stay for a long time, because it's just my own place, and no one bothers -- no adults. There I can fantasize desperately, imagining that this is a cave or an empty tree trunk, and I am one of many mountain spirits and wild monsters, surrounded by not people, but all kinds of cute little monsters, or once died on this land The ghosts of little children, I fantasize about them talking to me and telling me their stories.
I always wish there was a fairy like Peter Pan and Dinka Bell that would take me away from my unimaginative and uninteresting daily life, but I've known since I can remember - you see, I'm in I say this with some pride. You see, I have been so rational and sensible since I was a child. But who said this is not sad, what made a child who should have been naive and ignorant, who should be full of whimsical minds and a mouth full of trains, become like this?
I said so much, just to express, yes, I have not forgotten that I was once a child. And now I have become a "great adult who doesn't count and is sometimes fierce" in the eyes of children. However, I hope I'm not a completely boring adult.
Dead to not grow up, I guess Peter Pan is also the ghost of a long-dead child. In fact, I don't like children, and it doesn't make sense to reason. You can't communicate when you talk about it. They don't care if you have to work or do your own business. They just want you to accompany you, and then cry. It will annoy you in minutes. Besides, if you treat them well, they don't necessarily know how to appreciate it. The most heartless are children, the most selfish are children, and the cruelest are children. In fact, Peter Pan in the original fairy tale also has a cruel side, he will order the killing of children who have grown up. If a country is ruled by children, it must be the most terrifying country. However, it would be nice to have the ghosts of one or two children to play with occasionally.
I'm not Wendy, I don't have much patience for storytelling, I'd rather sing to my nephew than tell stories, but now I like to read stories too.
"Lonely Castle" is a good story. After watching so many movies about family love, Laura is the first mother who made me feel really great. This woman can really do anything for her children, that child Not her own. There is a primal maternalness about her that reminds me of Angelina Jolie.
Like "Teddy Bear", "Transformers", "The Brothers Grimm", "Maleficent" and so on, this film that can be said to be "adapted from "Peter Pan" is also a fairy tale movie for adults. People will grow up, and even if they don't believe in fairy tales anymore, as a complex, fairy tales will seem to have nowhere to be placed in people's hearts. I have also thought about things such as "Did Nobita marry Shizuka later", "Conan's true love is actually Haibara Ai", "What will Maruko and Crayon Shin-chan become when they grow up", "What will happen when the prince and princess get married?" I won’t be arguing all day like ordinary people” or even “Is Snow White’s real body really like Stoya?” It’s two hundred and fifty-five, but when these thoughts flashed by, it was enough to amuse myself. It's half a second. That's why I like movies like "Teddy Bear" so much, even if people keep clamoring that it "destroys childhood", there will be a market for it.
Speaking of ruining childhood, why do you think erotic peripherals related to fairy tales are popular? If Stoya hadn't looked like Snow White, would she still be so popular in the AV world based on her figure?
Then I found that I was going too far.
Pull back and talk about the rest of the film. The acting skills of several actors are all good, especially little Simon gets extra points. There is no choice in light and tone, and Spanish-language films seem to be infallible in this regard. But the soundtrack seems a bit ordinary, it's quite satisfactory, not amazing.
Overall, it was a good movie, and I cried too.
People are too tired to be stretched out all day long. Although they are rational, calm, and free from distractions, although they are cool for a while, they may get sick after a long time. At this time, they need a movie that can make you cry like an idiot. After the adjustment is over, think about it again, or laugh at yourself, and continue.
Days have to go by.
