The most tragic fairy tale couple turned over, and the white horse who is more prince than prince charming

Disney will always bring people dreams and joy. "Lettuce lettuce, put your hair down and let me go up", in the fairy tales I read when I was young, lettuce is really impressive. Both the princess and the prince were very pitiful. One gave birth to two children alone and was driven out of the tower to work hard, the other was blinded and lost everything to beg, until they finally met again after many years, barely happy ending. It can be called the poorest couple in a fairy tale. In comparison, animation makes people overjoyed. Lettuce is portrayed as such a lively and vigorous pan girl, and the prince is stolen and replaced by a handsome thief with a slippery head. The relationship between the two people is no longer as abrupt as in "The Grimm's Fairy Tales", but like a happy couple in life. The witch’s behavior is also more reasonable, raising lettuce is no longer for the man to steal the lettuce from her field, but for the magical power of eternal youth. But it's strange that Yi has no magic power. Is this a witch? . . ? Still indispensable for the usual cute supporting roles in Disney animations. Chameleons, thieves, and stylish, cool and invincible white horses-this white horse is even more prince than Prince Charming, although there is no line. The music and the pictures are great, and the ending is an unexplainable reversal of tradition-princess tears are good medicine. Those tragic encounters have all been abandoned. In a sense, it may have weakened the rare realism in the original work, but in short, some people will like this change. Such a story can be said to be superficial and naive, but, hey, this is Disney, who sells and manufactures the most simple and happy Disney, and it always allows us to discover that there is no need for more tortuous plots, more complicated human nature, and more Unexpected ending, it turns out that we don't need so much Disney to make us happy and satisfied. I actually admire a place in Disney. They just stick to the old stories and routines, stick to the qualities of beauty, bravery, and kindness, and reject too much darkness. This is actually not so easy, in a world where even elementary school students know that society is complicated. It is also not easy to tell a story with a simple ending known brilliantly.

    "Rapunzel" is also a dream I have always dreamed when I was a child (and even now): Peerless and independent, with a charming appearance. The hair grows seven feet long and grows seven inches a day. The light can reflect others, even more than the beloved consort Zhang Lihua of Empress Chen-this dream has also been put on the screen, and it has become a concrete and sensible light and shadow. I almost have to wonder, are all animation directors "Yan Mo"? Not a beast that eats dreams, how can we steal our secret fantasies smoothly?

    That horse is so funny

Tangled quotes

  • Flynn Rider: Well, I've gotta say, I didn't know you had that in you back there. That was pretty impressive.

    Rapunzel: [excited] I know!

    [casually]

    Rapunzel: I know. So, Flynn, where are you from?

    Flynn Rider: Whoa, whoa. Sorry, blondie, I don't do backstory. However, I am becoming very interested in yours. Now, I know I'm not supposed to mention the hair.

    Rapunzel: Nope.

    Flynn Rider: Or the mother.

    Rapunzel: Unh-unh.

    Flynn Rider: Frankly, I'm too scared to ask about the frog.

    Rapunzel: Chameleon.

    Flynn Rider: Nuance. Here's my question, though. If you want to see the lanterns so badly, why haven't you gone before?

    Rapunzel: Uh, heh, well...

    [notices stones rumbling at her feet]

    Rapunzel: Uh, Flynn?

    [the guards and Maximus come charging in]

    Rapunzel: Flynn?

    Captain of the Guard: Rider!

    Flynn Rider: Run! Run!

  • Rapunzel: [after healing Flynn's hand] Please don't freak out!

    Flynn Rider: [rapid-fire] I'm not freaking out. Are you freaking out? No, I'm just very interested in your hair and the magical qualities that it possesses. How long has it been doing that, exactly?

    Rapunzel: Uh, forever, I guess. Mother says when I was a baby, people tried to cut it. They wanted to take it for themselves. But once it's cut, it turns brown and loses its power.

    [She shows her lone brown lock]

    Rapunzel: A gift like that, it has to be protected. That's why Mother never let me... that's why I never left, and...

    Flynn Rider: You never left that tower. And you're still gonna go back?

    Rapunzel: No! Yes. Ugh. It's complicated. So, Eugene Fitzherbert, huh?

    Flynn Rider: Yeah, well, I'll spare you the sob story of poor orphan Eugene Fitzherbert. It's a little bit of a... It's a little bit of a downer.

    [She scoots up to him and rests her chin on her palms]

    Flynn Rider: Huh. There was this book. A book I used to read every night to all the younger kids, "The Tales of Flynnagan Rider." Swashbuckling rogue, richest man alive, not bad with the ladies, either. Not that he'd ever brag about it, of course.

    Rapunzel: Hmm. Was he a thief, too?

    Flynn Rider: Well, no. Actually he had enough money to do anything that he wanted to do. He could go anywhere that he wanted to go. And - and for a kid with nothing, I don't know. It just seemed like the better option. You can't tell anyone about this, okay? It could ruin my whole reputation.

    Rapunzel: Ah. We wouldn't want that.

    Flynn Rider: Well, a fake reputation is all a man has. Um, well, I should, um... I - I should get some more firewood.

    Rapunzel: Hey. For the record, I like Eugene Fitzherbert much better than Flynn Rider.

    Flynn Rider: Well, then you'd be the first. But thank you.
