How it feels to read fairy tales when you grow up

I didn't read the book "The Wizard of Oz" when I was a child, but I also read a lot of fairy tales. Watching this movie is like going back to the time of watching a fairy tale, obviously feeling similar moods and emotions. A feeling of nostalgia.

But the perspective of reading fairy tales when you grow up is not the same as when you were a child. It’s okay to keep your brain blank and follow the movie. When you think about it after the end, after thinking about it, some things will still be associated with some metaphors. The gradual enrichment of knowledge reserves makes it no longer possible to feel the beauty and simplicity of fairy tales as simply as a child.

For example, when you see a scarecrow, you think of agriculture, the tin man represents industry, the lion represents nature, and Dorothy represents human beings. Agriculture without wisdom, industry without soul, nature without its majesty, and humanity without a home.

But when I was a child, my views were pure and terrible. I found out that after defeating the evil witch, each got what they wanted, and I was filled with emotion: Sure enough, there is no pie that falls from the sky, and all good things must be obtained through their own efforts. .

    The contrast of colors one after the other is really amazing, and the setting is gorgeous. The little girl sings well, but why is she always staring in horror!

    The lion is a 2b. I like those shoes. When I was a child, I cried and shouted that I had to buy a pair of red leather shoes, so that I still have a red shoe complex now.
