do you want to leave

Your present, like the original Ripz...you have ridiculously never-cut hair, hide in a tall tower, and settle for the status quo under the protection of your mother.

Yes, Ripz has a mom. The witch is the villain in the movie, but she is more like a real-world mother. Mom will always protect you, Mom will keep telling you about the dangers of the world, Mom will comfort you and take you home after you are hurt by the dangers outside.

At first, Ripz said "i love you the most". Oh, not only the love in the movie has changed, but the "favorite" in real life is hardly everlasting. When we grow up, of course we will not still love our mother the most, we will have a partner, we will have our own children... It is conceivable that one day, your pursuit of your own life will surpass your dependence on your family, and your love for your own children. Your love will surpass your love for your parents. Therefore, like the witch in the movie, mothers in reality also have their own needs and worries that are not entirely for the sake of their daughters-every mother is looking forward to the return of her children, and expecting that the children they have worked so hard to cultivate will not One day I will leave my side...

But, we will eventually go far, and we will eventually "want" to go far. No longer dependent, no longer accompanied at all times, or even, no longer listen to their words. Does mom always "knows the best"? Not necessarily... what do you do when they try to keep you with them?

The answer seems to be given in the movie: You must leave your mother's side before you can find and realize your own dreams.

But...

If it wasn't for the magic hair, but the pure love witch kept her by her side, would Ripz still resist bravely?

If the movie were reversed and the witch was Ripz's real mother, and the king and queen were her adoptive parents, and the king and queen imprisoned her, would Ripz still spare no effort to escape? ——There is a fairytale castle, an unparalleled life, a dreamy birthday sky lantern that you have admired since you were a child...or...is an independent and new life what you want?

Would Ripz descend the tower without Eugene accidentally breaking in?

If it wasn't for the dreamy sky lantern that appeared on time for his birthday every year, which fascinated Ripz, would Ripz still want to go down the tower? Has the home provided by your mother met all your requirements for life? Do you really have a dream?


Love, a perfect life without effort, fear of losing protection, encountering illusory dreams... In the real world, are you really sure you want to leave?


Going down the tower, cutting off your long hair, with a firm and pure love (a love that is more extensive than the love for your parents only)...... Maybe one day, you will also have the incomparable power to save yourself and realize yourself fullness of life.
