How to write a tragic reality into a fairy tale, and then light up the hope of reality

The identity of the witch is in line with the research of child psychology. The real Rapunzel story is actually the relationship between control freaks and emotionally abusive parents and children. Parents provide food and clothing to raise their children, and they also control and manipulate their children in all aspects from the person to the spirit. They exploit the youthful vitality of their children and light up their bleak lives; while the children have been brainwashed by their parents for a long time. All kinds of emotional abuse behaviors are rationalized and internalized, taking parents' abuse and exploitation of themselves as a matter of course, and a pathological symbiosis has formed between parents and children over time. The child’s life is increasingly haggard due to being ingested by his parents, causing serious personality disorders (such as Yang Yuanyuan, who committed suicide after breaking away from his mother’s morbid symbiosis, or Tan Beibei, who was casually attracted by bad boys to "resist" his mother, etc.). The only way for children to get rid of is to "mother-killing", that is, when their parents are dead, draw a line with the abusive parents, and no longer live with their parents psychologically. But the above-mentioned psychological stories are too tragic to be told directly to children. Therefore, the fairy tale has to be adapted in various ways-1. The witch is not a birth mother, but a kidnapper (to avoid the huge ethical pain caused by the protagonist's entanglement in blood relationship); 2. The witch should have suffered serious psychological abuse due to long-term emotional abuse The princess in question recovered quickly because of the magical power of Sunflower, and was still cheerful and energetic, without leaving irreversible psychological trauma; 3. Children who have never received love and tolerance are easy to be bad boys in reality. If you are a good thing, you will cheat away, but Eugene in this film is actually a good guy and doesn’t want to deceive the girl; 4. The heroine’s great cause of resistance actually needs external help, but the prince is outdated, so he is handsome and flattering. 5. The chameleon was responsible for the final "mother-killing" task, avoiding the moral pressure of the heroine. Disney has been so good at using animal characters as a supplement to the hero's personality for decades. . You see, after the script is written in seconds, a tragic story can be adapted into a cartoon. Of course, children only need to watch happily. As for the deep meaning, only adults know. It is said that this film is the first part of Disney's animated feature film with PG (counseling level), not the previous G (all ages). I think it is very realistic. At least after watching this film, I will learn to distinguish what is emotional abuse. The number of people has increased, which is good for the children’s growth environment.

    The counterattack of Disney's traditional fairy tale animation is much better than the princess and the frog. Disney's traditional department will continue to take the 3D route. The general trend is that Lightning Dog and this one are good.

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.
