The format of the musical, within the theme of this film, feels appropriate. Combined with the plot in the second half, I personally feel that the movie is actually for parents to watch. 1. The witch was cursed by her own mother, and she had no children of her own, so she raised Rapunzel as a daughter. The witch knows that the world outside the tower is beautiful, but also has a lot of harm and danger, so she made a wrong way of education in order to protect the long hair's eternal happiness. The mother's education of witches should be problematic. The negative influence of the original family is like a curse, and the witch is eager to get rid of it. But after she thought she got rid of it, because the long hair had been hurt, and the reaction of the long hair made her return to her mother's curse, and finally fell into the quagmire. The witch shows sadness because she doesn't understand her long hair, which is really distressing. A mother's happiness, pain and helplessness, I personally feel that it has been shown.
2. Jack and Little Red Riding Hood, one has always been criticized by their mother, and the other has been the pride of their mother and grandmother since childhood, but the arrival of the giant, directly or indirectly, caused them to lose their mother, they were confused and had no one to guide them, what was right, what It's wrong, witches are right, and giants are innocent. Sometimes, right and wrong, there is no way to simply judge.
3. Mr. Bread, aside from the part where the wife kisses the prince inexplicably, (I skipped it, I didn't see it, I didn't see it, and the two princes...emmm) The relationship between husband and wife is really good, and the husband has been relying on it. His wife, and the previous abandonment of his father left him deeply wounded. After his wife died, Mr. Bread also abandoned his son, and his father's soul (should be a soul, not like the plot of a living person) appeared and untied his heart.
The above three characters are all related to family education, and the last song seems to be all about the point: don't curse the child (the original family hurts), and tell the story to the child cautiously (prudent education).
About Cinderella, I think it's not about education, but reflects the state of most people: the actual life is too bad, the desired life is too good to fit in, so it is best to be in between.
Finally, about the opening I Wish, I personally think it is meaningful, but I have forgotten what their hope is, but instead I feel the desire of the person who didn't say I Wish - the witch, eager to get rid of the mother's curse.
Well, I admire myself for not feeling these. So be it
