fairy tale vices

Many people can't retell a love story in an ordinary tone when they grow up. Whether it's their own or someone else's, the road of love in reality is never smooth, but there are so many people who have overcome difficulties for this. Love is of course beautiful, but we may also have too many sequelae caused by the happy life of princes and princesses in childhood fairy tales. How likely is Julia Roberts to walk into an ordinary bookstore in Notting Hill, how credible is the story of falling in love with the bookstore owner, there are a lot of three-legged frogs in this world, but trust me, that's definitely not what's in front of you this one.

I believe that most Hollywood screenwriters, like us, liked to listen to fairy tales when they were young. It was the enlightenment education about happiness, so those loves were often just extracted from their brains and transferred in another popular format—— The big star fell in love with the little book boy, just like the princess fell in love with the little carpenter, Cupid's arrow has a beautiful trajectory, and this kind of story also makes us familiar with it. But when we grow up, we will find that our city has no wings, it is material and lifeless, we will not doubt that there is a forest in the distance, that there is a castle in the forest, that the kiss of a princess will save you from turning into a frog The prince, the prince will wake up the sleeping beauty, but we can't believe that there will be such a love in the city around us.

How many bookstores are there in Notting Hill and how many bars are there in Casablanca, Julia is like Ingrid Bergman many years ago, and they just walked into such a bizarre love. Love scandals between big stars and small townspeople may be the easiest to become the headlines of the entertainment version and the talk of the alleys. Because even on the chess board, if the pawn wants to capture the queen, it requires superb skills. Who would believe that the white swan will favor a little toad in Notting Hill. In modern society, often such fairy tale love is like an atomic bomb explosion, making people jealous to the point of death. However, even with the gossip of the public and the pain and suffering under the spotlight, the ending of the story still reveals the simplicity and simplicity of a fairy tale. But I admit what Julia said: I'm just an ordinary girl standing in front of a boy and begging him to love me. But with the sincerity and courage common to all love. (I am just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love me. )

There may be adventures in our life, and there may be love in the adventures, but we will cover it up, we will never change our noses in front of the person we have a crush on. Love in fairy tales is a pot of warm water, warm and hard, but real love is often boiling, and can even scald a dead pig back to life. Discussing the gap between movies and reality is an absurd proposition, just like our bookstore owners often wear tall glasses, or are buried in collapsed bookcases and no one knows, while our female stars are It will always only appear in the bed of a master, a rich director or an actor surnamed Chen.

We do not accept such fairy tale love because of the huge gap between it and reality. It is not so much that we gradually gave up believing in fairy tales when we grew up, it is better to say that love was originally a cookie-cutter vice in fairy tales. Prepare enough sadness in your emotional life. But we will eventually find that there is always a big bad wolf beside every Little Red Riding Hood - a fairy tale writer is a very pleasant profession, because even if we shed more tears and suffer more because of our own love that is not a fairy tale Hurt, we'll never say, they're all liars.

    Many times when rewatching these old romance films, you will find that what touches people’s emotions is not what a great love or what a thrilling story, but a special memory: that song of She, that song of Ronan’s When You Say Nothing at All, The phrase "indefinitely" touches oneself all the time - and fades away from the glitz, sitting on a bench with a loved one, enjoying the afternoon sun, is the highest expression of romance.
