It's not a great movie, but doesn't anyone think the oral folklore is great for a few minutes at the end?

Four stars for the last few minutes. Although the film is very general, I personally think that in the last few minutes, the passage and evolution of folk stories from generation to generation is particularly classic! The proper History became legend, legend became myth. The sense of sight, and the brain hole that the story integrates into British history is also very good! There are no local myths in the UK, but there are many folk stories. Jack and the Beanstalk is a very representative one. It is very emotional to combine this way.

PS. It just so happens that the actor of the male lead is going to play JRR Tolkien recently. It is quite interesting to combine Tolkien's classic saying, "But once upon a time, I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend , ranging from the large and cosmogenic to the level of romantic fairy-story, which I could dedicate simply: to England; to my country." I hope the actor can interpret the essence of this sentence in Tolkien's biography.
