is very well written, and I will come over to say a few words.
The two tasks mentioned by the landlord are interspersed, Mercedes and Ophelia's keys and negligence do have similarities, which can be said to be interspersed between reality and the author's fictional world.
Through Ophelia's story, the author is actually an ode to the Mercedes-style revolutionaries. You are right, sharp eyed, I didn't realize the connection between two keys and two omissions before reading your article.
Then we can think that the elements of the 3 tasks, the key to the toad, the monster that eats the child, the food and the golden dagger, and her younger brother, represent the capital of the corrupt class, the suppression of the revolutionaries, the temptations faced by the revolutionaries, and the radical Radical revolution, and her brother symbolizes innocent people.
It is meaningless to be entangled in the question of why there is this magical world, whether the little girl has a hallucination, because this is like the metaphor of the Chinese saying that the sea is dying and the stone is rotten, and it is the author's metaphor and evaluation method.
I think Ophelia didn't let Pan hurt his younger brother in the end, and finally lost the chance to become a mortal and was shot by his stepfather. As a character's destiny, there is no need to think too much, because this symbolizes the revolution of revolutionaries with their own blood , rather than involving innocent people as shields.
The author's metaphor categorizes Ophelia and Mercedes into a group of people who won't hurt innocent people. The author uses the last method to give a high evaluation. It is this kind of people who are qualified to be gods. It is affirmed that this kind of person can make the old tree, which symbolizes the country and the nation, spring, and the author finally just let Audrey die and Mercedes live, but they each get their own place, in fact, on the level of magic metaphor, And in the actual life of the revolution, the common and most satisfactory ending of the two.
Excerpt from the second paragraph:
Overall, it's a very good movie, and it reminded me of two things after watching it. The first one was Andersen's "Selling Girls' Little Match" (in turn, thanks), three matches are three tasks, and finally she went to the happiest place, and then the next day people found her frozen to death in the street. The second is Terry Gilliam's Tideland, which is also a fairy tale that is not a fairy tale. You can watch it for comparison.
