Heartache is more real than joy, loneliness is more real than hugs

Last night, I came back from the incomprehensible J2EE, lay on the bed, and decided to read Pan Shen~~ that I had collected for a long time. Affected by various recommendations before, I always thought it was just a fairy tale. Gradually I found far from it.
I didn't say a word, read it quietly, and listened to my books screaming. The time is now, 0:00 in the morning, and suddenly it is very heavy and sad.
Watching Ophelia struggling but determined to climb under the roots of the tree to find the giant toad,
watching Ophelia ignoring the elf's instructions and insisting on opening the door on the left,
watching Ophelia finally couldn't bear it anymore. I ate grapes one after another,
watching Ophelia feel overwhelmed, helpless and desperate after being rejected by Pan,
watching Ophelia holding her innocent brother and rejecting without hesitation The last chance,
watching Ophelia argue up and down against a cloud of air in the eyes of the captain,
watching Ophelia lying on the floor of the icy labyrinth, the
brilliant picture of light and shadow is fleeting, the
blood still flows, and life follows The coldness of her small body is still passing away, and
the little smile on her lips made me feel distressed.
From the moment she seriously promised her unborn brother that he would make him a prince,
I had a strong premonition that she would not be able to go back. ,
I wish it was not just a kingdom that lived in her imagination,
I wish she really went to her world and lived a happy life,
I wish it was just a mortal body who died and her soul really returned. Home,
I wish I was as unmoved as watching other movies. . .
Blair said she likes the feeling of being in control of the outcome.
I don't like movies that I've only watched over and over, I still like the feeling that I'm in complete control of myself.

    This director should be very suitable for Andersen's "Daughter of the Swamp King"!

    Bright fairy tales, bloody and dark reality. The magical wizard. Fascists who shot people. The little girl is ignorant of world affairs, switching between the two worlds. When she was shivering by the brutal fascism, she hid under the bed and got into the fairy tales in the book. When she was chased by monsters in fairy tales, she climbed into reality to face the killer who extinct humanity. The children's hearts are pure and kind, how can they tell which fascist and monster is more evil and vicious. The fascists who killed civilians and the vicious zombies who devoured elves had the same fear for the little girl. Adults do not want to believe in fairy tales. They do not believe that there are fairies in the world, nor do they believe in the existence of demons. So they relentlessly accept the ravages of reality. But the little girl was immersed in fairy tales. She knew that there must be monsters in the world, so she could also recognize where the demons were hiding in reality. Adults are not as smart as children. Children put fairy tales and politics in the same causal chain, so that they will not be blinded by the maze of confusing lies. This is a political metaphor of fantasy and despair. Movies related to the revolution are only suitable for pure children to watch.

Pan's Labyrinth quotes

  • Capitán Vidal: Tell my son the time that his father died. Tell him...

    Mercedes: No. He won't even know your name.

  • Mercedes: [to Vidal] I'm not some old man! Or a wounded prisoner! Motherfucker... Don't you dare touch the girl. You won't be the first pig I've gutted!
