Some plots are more reasonable than the original
For example, some people questioned why there is still a gap in the wall. In fact, in the original book, there is a market every nine years. At that time, people in the town will go through the gap to buy things at the Fairyland Market. The male protagonist's parents met on such an occasion. The setting in the movie will make people wonder why the male protagonist's father never went to the male protagonist's mother later, while the male protagonist's father in the book is just an honest country boy, and it is normal to go to Fairyland to participate in the market. It's not as adventurous as in the movies. The father of the male protagonist in the book originally had someone who was going to get married. Although he could not talk about much love, he was also blessed by each other. After that brief and unexpected romantic encounter, the father of the male protagonist returned to ordinary, married and had children. It is natural to live the life of ordinary villagers. It is unreasonable that the young man in the movie who is adventurous and challenging the tradition never tries to find a lover over the wall again.
I really like the description of that magical candle in the book. Lighting the candle, taking the first step, he walked through the dense forest; taking the second step, he crossed the mountains; the third step, he crossed the desolate desert •••••• There is a kind of vicissitudes of life. A sense of grandeur. And the effect in the movie is too disappointing, lighting the candle, thinking about the destination, the light flashes, and it moves instantly. It is too simplified and loses the kind of beautiful and mysterious imagination. Another favorite detail is the mirror in the witch's house. It doesn't seem to be in the movie, but it doesn't really matter.
The heroine in the movie is really not in line with my imagination, she is too tough and old. The male lead's first love is quite a sweet girl. The witch is good, enchanting style.
The end of the book is a bit rushed and a bit lacking in flavor. For example, the male protagonist and mother and son recognize each other very lightly, and it feels a bit sloppy. Moreover, the mother of the male protagonist suddenly appeared in an arrogant and arrogant image, which was very abrupt and far from the image of the sweet girl ten years ago.
