Three castles, three countries with different costumes, three monarchs with different personalities have parallel narratives, and the intersection until the end seems nothing new at present, and the narrative method seems to please the mainstream media, but I Still willing to recommend it to everyone. Because all ages can see what they want to see in this film. In one hundred and twenty minutes, several stories are very condensed: the ardent queen who loves her son is bent on preventing the friendship between the prince and the servant's son, but is stabbed to death by the unwitting son; the princess is forced to marry under the pressure of the father. To the ugly and reckless savages; the old lady who was laundered and rejuvenated was instantly favored by the king to become a princess. It seems that the creativity of the working people is the same. Of course, the ending can also be found in the selfishness and greed of human nature. But this is a fairy tale after all, and naturally there are grotesque and surreal elements. For example, the queen eats the throbbing beast heart without hesitation, and the special effects of the flea pulling the cart raised by the king are very magical and interesting. Although the actors have different English accents, the exquisite costumes, exquisite sets, and the actors' flexible performances did not make people appear in the show. In short, it is a story that is easy to read, and the rest is another.
Throughout the three stories, the combination of the royal family and the commoners is ultimately a tragedy. The virgin who cooked the heart for the queen also conceived and gave birth that night. 16 years later, two teenagers with almost identical appearances were playing in the maze, but one was dressed in brocade, while the other was constantly dressed. The friendship of the two children is sincere, but the thoughts of the two mothers are different. The queen insisted many times to put the boy who she could admit to being wrong to death. In the end, the prince returned to the palace, while the boy returned to his dilapidated home to heal. At that moment, I realized that their similarities are only in appearance. The joke of fate has separated the people who should be brothers after all. And if the princess waited for a handsome husband, wouldn't she leave contentedly after all day long, and then it would be another story? However, these are only possibilities. The princess of Huluo Pingyang finally got a tall, strong but ugly husband in the right location with the tools obtained by chance, and successfully escaped danger. And this unsuccessful marriage ended up taking the lives of six people. Similar to the third story, the old woman who wanted to catch the king was given the short-lived pity of her fate, while the still aging sister heard it and listened to what she said casually. The picture I have been looking forward to is not like this. As expected, the skinned man staggered toward the castle in the sun, but his bloody facial muscles were full of anticipation and longing. This was the most frightening close-up in the entire film.
In these three dark fairy tales, personal desires are only the cause. Birth and beauty are always the core of the happy ending of this kind of story. This is an important indicator of whether the upper class will accept the common people. The queen is worried that the prince will be "snatched" by the poor boy not only to avoid repeating the mistakes of the princess, but also To avoid interfering with the stability of the class. Beauty is the most irresistible temptation. Since this premise is tacitly accepted, so we see the development of the story in the other direction, so it is not cruel.
At the final ceremony, the gathering of the three monarchs who had experienced turmoil in each of them was also quite interesting. All returned to their original positions, the prince who successfully ascended the throne, the princess who was officially crowned, and the lecherous king and the princess who suddenly revealed her originality. Under the splendid harmony, everyone looked up at the artist's tightrope performance, which was indeed thrilling and exciting, but at this time someone fell - the princess covered her face and cried, fleeing in panic and pain. It turns out that all poverty and wealth will eventually reset. The road to the powerful is like a tightrope, holding capital like a balance bar in his hand, walking on thin ice to be elegant and decent, to please everyone, while most of the people below are just quietly admiring it. This in itself is a tragedy. I have no intention of judging this in today's society, but what is certain is that the role of that fragile and easily broken pole will not last long. Once lost, there is simply no way out.
