I wanted to tell a positive story about eradicating evil and promoting good, but it backfired.

The whole film integrates several classic fairy tales, "Little Red Riding Hood" + "Cinderella" + "Rapunzel" + "Jack's Magic Beanstalk".

In fact, the movie is all about reasoning and persuading the world. Little Red Riding Hood failed to withstand the temptation of Depp's Big Bad Wolf on the way to grandma's house, causing a tragedy in her life; Jack's mother asked Jack to go to the neighboring village market to sell the old cows in order to confuse buyers for high prices; Cinderella's The prince danced with her for three nights in a row and couldn't recognize Cinderella, how could the same thing happen three times? I can't help but suspect the prince's IQ; when the prince was looking for Cinderella with a crystal-free golden shoe, the stepmother who cut off her daughter's toes so that her daughter could get into that shoe was enough, Cinderella became a great woman in life. Why do people still have to peck people's eyes and cut off their toes after the winner? Is this really generous? Unconsciously persuading the world turned into a rant.

Aunt May is a very good character in this play, criticizing human greed, ignorance, and unscrupulous means. In the end, disaster was incurred. After killing the giant, the giantess came to avenge her husband. The most unfortunate thing in this drama is this giant. First, he was stolen gold coins, golden eggs, and harps. After being provoked, he was killed. The husband lost his wife and went out. Why should the revenge of justice be greedy of humans to defeat? In the end is to eliminate evil and promote good or to promote greed and injustice. There's even an incestuous affair between the prince and the baker's wife, OMG!

In short, the screenwriter's brain is as big as a giant, eh! just sauce~

    This is the real thing, you can't get into it. The adaptation and singing skills are above the pass, but the dark side and the funny don't dare to go too far. Could it be because of Disney? The director who has filmed Chicago has also filmed nine, and this one is between the two. Agony is much hilarious than the stage version hahaha.

    If there is no good dark fairy tale, I still have a chance to watch the original stage play. The story after the happy ending is a bit interesting, and I also feel like I want to reverse the case for the witch, but I still haven't told it well, the song is good, the singing is good, except for the big-name actors, the cast members also like it very much, there are several American drama familiar face
