remember reading this book for the first time when I was a kid and thinking it was one of the best books I've ever read. I felt very excited after reading it, because I felt like I found a really great story.
After watching the movie, I still think the story is great. liked it for a long time.
Later, when I got older, the feeling of watching this movie became normal. This setting that must be obeyed is still very interesting. Coupled with childhood love, so I like it very much.
But now, after so many years, the taste is too far from the first time I saw it.
First of all, watching the movie has become impossible to concentrate, because it feels like there are too many holes.
For example, the heroine's "must obey" ability is actually more positive than negative. Why do you say this, because even if the heroine never found out that she could order herself to do things, she could actually ask trusted people to let her do extraordinary things. Her mother could tell her, "You have to have superhuman intelligence," and she'd be a prodigy, wouldn't she? Think about what else this ability can allow her to do! Even, she can overcome all negative effects, just let her mother tell her "you can only follow the orders you want to obey". Just thinking about it makes me realize how much potential she has!
Without the above assumptions, there are also many loopholes in the plot of the movie. Since someone else can order her, she can ask another person to reverse the order for her at any time. She doesn't have to be afraid of her stepmother and bad sister, let alone being used by the villain. After all, as long as it is being used, it is enough to ask the friends around you to help cancel it.
And an order is one thing, but it never limits her ability to do other things. Just like the part where her sister ordered her to drive away her good friend, she could add her own thoughts after saying what her sister told her. Kill the prince too. She just couldn't say that she was going to kill him, but she could make him stand away, be careful, and tell him in other ways.
These loopholes are particularly uncomfortable to look at, as if they are laughing at the low IQ of the audience.
It's not that I can't stand holes in a story, there's no such thing as a perfect story. But the "loopholes" in this story happen to be the core plot of the whole story, and these cores are full of holes, which can really make people uncomfortable.
The characters in this whole movie are not very smart.
Now that I think about it, the only thing that's okay is that little elf.
There is a problem with the villain's IQ, needless to say. Wearing the crown at the end is a silly joke.
The protagonist's IQ is also questionable.
The heroine's intelligence is superb.
The prince was nowhere to be found. When the heroine was crying, the prince never saw it. Why don't you ask her why she is crying?
This movie is really more suitable for a musical. It looks at least a little more joyful that way, and it's not as easy to take it seriously.
The content of the book, I haven't read it for so many years and can't remember it. I don't know if there are as many loopholes as the movie.
But it's really a pity, the story that I liked so much when I was a child turns into a joke when I read it when I get older.
Watching a movie is more critical, and it is not so easy to enjoy the process.
There are so many fairy tales, you can still like them very much. After reading it, I can feel very moved, and after reading it once, I can watch it again.
But for the other ones, only the innocent and innocent self can be happy, and they stay in childhood forever.
Saying softly,
goodbye, Magic Cinderella.
