The plot is a bit rushed but very touching. When I say hasty, I mean Maleficent's hatred lasts too short, and love for Aurora comes too suddenly, maybe to show she's really too beautiful to be loved, her beauty melts quickly The ice in Maleficent's heart made her return to the simple, equally beautiful girl she used to be. And the meeting between Aurora and the prince was too rushed, perhaps because he wanted to say that the kiss of true love does not exist, and it should be subverted.
At the beginning of the movie, it is said that the elves of the forest kingdom, unlike the countries of the human world, need a king to rule. They don't have a king, they live by trusting each other. That is really a dreamy fairyland-like world. It was originally a fairyland. There are many elves living carefree and carefree lives. They were originally immortals.
One day, a boy from the human world came to the forest to steal the treasure, and when the other fairies were about to kill him, Maleficent rescued him and got the treasure back and let it go back to where it was supposed to go. Then the two of them became friends. He came to steal the treasure, but instead of taking the treasure, he got something more precious than the treasure. When they shook hands, Maleficent was injured when he touched his iron ring, and he took it off without hesitation and threw it into the grass. But later, he forgot about throwing the ring away without hesitation, and instead collected all the iron tools to use against her.
Then, when she was sixteen, he came again and gave her a kiss, which he said was "the kiss of true love". Then they grew up, and they didn't seem to have seen each other for so long, and they only relied on memories to comfort themselves. She became the patron saint of the forest, and he fought for his ambitions to live in the castle.
The king of the human kingdom attempted to rule the forest, but was repelled by Maleficent. The king said that whoever could kill Maleficent would marry the princess to him and let him inherit the throne. So the man came to Maleficent. A woman's love is blind, and even elves are blinded by love. She drank the wine brought by the man and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, her wings were gone, and she lost some of her magic power.
She started to lose trust, she learned about anger, evil, deceit, it was horrible. When she angrily built a wall of thorns, all the flowers and trees withered, and the beautiful colors of the forest disappeared, I felt so terrified. Innocent trust and beauty disappeared from her heart, replaced by evil and vengeful anger. What kind of disaster will anger bring, not only destroying others, but also the beauty of your own inner world. Is there anything more tragic than this when the most precious thing in a woman's heart is gone?
When Princess Aurora is born, she brings the curse, the princess will be beautiful and graceful, but she will have a spindle pricked in her finger on her sixteenth birthday, and will not wake up, unless a prince gives him the love of his true love A kiss will wake you up. The reason why the kiss of true love is needed to break the spell is because the kiss of true love never existed. Since then, the king has lived in misery. And she herself reveled in the pain of that curse.
As Aurora grew up, she admired Malefith and followed her everywhere, and her innocence, simplicity and beauty moved her. One day she said frantically: I withdraw my curse and let it go. However, that is impossible, only the kiss of true love can lift the curse, she has been powerless to do what she has done. I cried for the first time when she said that. I didn't cry when he was deceived, because deception often happens, and truth, goodness and beauty are rare.
The princess is so beautiful and so innocent. In the dark forest, there are colors everywhere, and the elves are flying around her, playing with her, and letting her see a wonderful world. She's blond, in a beautiful dress, with a sweet, eager smile, and she's so curious about everything, so cute. She will definitely have an impact on this world, let all the ugliness hide, the beautiful scenery will return to the earth, and the truth, goodness and beauty will wake up in people's hearts.
In the later episodes, I was moved to tears several times, forgetting what time it was. I often think that I can wake up the truth, goodness and beauty that slumbers in the devil's heart, but that's not the case. It's not that I'm not strong enough, but the princess is in a fairy tale world. Even if people lose their beauty, it's temporary and will be awakened eventually, and I, originally in the real world, people's greed and desire, long ago. They all let them discard a lot of things and never cherish them again. There is nothing I can do about them.
Fortunately, the innocence and beauty of the princess can dissolve all hatred and awaken the sleeping love in people's hearts. But it wasn't the kiss of true love that finally woke the princess up, because it didn't exist, but was awakened by the kiss of true kindness and beauty from Maleficent. I don't approve of this subversion and would rather it was the prince's kiss that woke her up. Like "Frozen", it subverts love and believes that true love does not exist. But at the end of the movie, the prince and princess also lived a happy life.
I want to say that when you have compassion, forgive someone, and let your life go, you must go backwards and leave, and you can't turn around and leave after you have finished speaking. That kind of scum will put away the pitiful face when you turn around, reveal the despicable truth, and give you a fatal blow. After watching "Maleficent", I feel it again, there are many such situations in film and television.
I don't like some fairy tales being rewritten with very realistic endings. I have seen some cartoons that make the princess give birth to many children and become a sloppy housewife, and the prince is reading the newspaper with his legs crossed, and he doesn't care about anything. I also hate having Rapunzel put on a wig, and I've gone bald after removing the wig. Rewrites like this are disgusting.
What kind of mentality rewrites the fairy tale like this, is it sour grapes? Rewritten in this way, it will no longer be a fairy tale after allowing the princess to live a mediocre real life. Some friends say that the reality is too cruel, so it is good to comfort them. I think he was too lenient with those people this time. But that doesn't comfort me at all, it just makes me tired and desperate. I would rather not meet a prince than this! Why turn a beautiful fairy tale into reality?
I say that this ending doesn't comfort me because I always thought I would meet a prince. If you will never meet him in time, it is also very exciting to meet him in a dream, and it is also very satisfying. Dreamers are not comforted by reality. Those real people are also unable to be comforted by fairy tales. They simply cannot understand the beauty of that world. They will only say that it is all fake and tricks to deceive children. There is simply no such a beautiful heart and feeling to believe in fairy tales.
Before you kiss the prince, you need to kiss countless frogs. ——Every time I see this sentence, I disapprove. I think my intuition is very accurate. With just one glance, I can recognize the prince among the frogs, and the only one I will kiss is the prince. Then, looking back soberly, there were only a few frogs behind, none of them turned into princes. However, it is also good that the results can be invulnerable. Even better, although I didn't kiss the prince, I met the angel.
It's funny to see a description in Sylvia Plath's short story "The Test of Enrollment". If people had that sense of wonder, the world would be a much better place. But some people don't believe in the existence of fairy tale world when they grow up, some people never believe it, they don't know what a miracle is.
"The eyebrows of the heather," explained the little man. "The heather lives in the mythical wilderness, flying about all day long, singing freely in the sun. Its colors are bright. Purple, eyebrows are delicious."
Millicent couldn't help laughing. Hey, that's awesome, just like her, suddenly feeling sympathetic with a stranger. "Are you mythical too?" "Not quite," he replied, "but I hope to be one day. Being mythical is very beneficial to one's ego."
Thinking of Angela Carter "I really believe that a work of fiction is truly self-aware (that is, it is not a log of events) that it is a form of human experience distinct from so-called reality. It can help change reality.” I think this sentence probably means that the author who writes fiction works, knowing that he is writing about human experience that is different from reality, and knowing this can help change reality. Probably.
Many of Angela Carter's novels are rewritten fairy tales, and her rewriting can make me accept it. Some fairy tales have been changed so darkly that the original angelic characters will become evil. I don't think that's ok. As long as they are still in the world of fairy tales and not become slaves of real life, I can accept them. I'd rather they be evil in the fairy tale world than mediocre in the real world.
