It doesn't matter if you become a devil

The story begins like this: A

long time ago, in an underground kingdom without lies and suffering, there lived a princess who longed for the blue sky, breeze and bright sunshine on earth. One day, the princess escaped the guards and sneaked into the surface world. However, the strong sunlight blinded her eyes and erased her memory. She forgot who she was and where she came from. She suffered from hunger and cold, and also suffered from illness. In the end, life was lost. Her king father had always believed that her soul must return, perhaps in another body, another time, another place. He will die waiting for her return. until the world stops turning.

The story ends like this:

Princess Ophelia finally returns to the underground palace, because she still retains the most valuable quality of being an elf - self-sacrifice, she is unwilling to exchange other people's lives for a passport to return to the eternal kingdom, she wins. . In the harsh world of the ground, however, Ophelia is dead, and she is killed by the captain, bang, and one shot.

Is this a good ending or a bad ending?

For Ophelia, this is probably a good ending, otherwise she wouldn't be so satisfied in the end. In her opinion, the eternal soul is more important than the survival of the flesh. She told a story to her unborn brother: On the steep cliffs, the roses that can bring eternal life open lonely, because the roses are wrapped with deadly toxins, and the people who come to pick them are in fear of death and pain. , forget the longing for the eternal soul...

yes, that's it.

Ophelia is Ophelia because she believes in the eternal soul and is willing to give her life for it (you might say, that's because she's a child and is prone to believe in myths, but I've seen such adults too , so it probably has nothing to do with age); the reason why I am an ordinary human is that I doubt whether the soul can really survive without the body.

I think, in order to survive, I will try every means to survive, work hard all day long, be troubled by fame, fortune, love and hate, neither a wizard nor a devil, just a mortal.

However, Ophelia is so beautiful, her pure, thorough and frightened eyes pierce the screen to the heart of the heart. It is difficult for a soul like her to survive alone in the world. If she can no longer return to the underground world, she must live in this damn world, there must be someone by her side to protect her, love her, shelter her from the wind and rain, kill her and set fire to her and become a devil, it doesn't matter. .

Someone has to carry the cross.

    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.
