      Not suitable for children

      Fairy tales are generally told to children. As Lenin said: "Children's nature is to love to listen to wonderful fairy tales." But this film based on the Neapolitan language fairy tale collection "Five Days Talk" is not only unsuitable for children, even adults can see it. Scalp tingling.

      This kind of narrative technique of fairy tales is called "black fairy tales", which express darkness, horror and other contents. In fact, many of Grimm's fairy tales are of this type. This...

      short comment

      To be honest, it's not good. There are too many stories in one movie, and the main characters of each story exist independently. They both want to tell the story and also want to enrich the characters. In the end, neither one is good enough, especially the story of the princess is a little bit. It's like the super-lite version of Daenerys in "Game of Thrones", but the character settings are much more ambiguous, and it all depends on the audience's brain to add settings. In contrast,...

      after watching

      The first story is about a mother who controls her son and doesn't care about her dead husband when she sees the hope of having a baby. "You spent a day in my body and your fingers look like mine." What a mockery

      The second story is that the father doesn't care about the fate of his daughter, his daughter's reputation is not important, he has made a promise, but he has to let his daughter marry a giant. The giant loves the princess. He doesn't care if the princess loves her or not. He...

      selfish mistake

      There is always an Alice in Wonderland style in it...

      Three countries, three seemingly "absurd" stories. The ending of the story is also the center of the whole movie.

      The queen is eager to seek a child, and sacrifices her husband to the king without mercy to obtain a method of seeking a child, but is troubled by the "twin" brother of her son among the common people, and even tries to kill him, even though he is the son's closest good friend and close brother. The final outcome...

      A dark fairy tale about human nature

      The film is interspersed with three stories. The first story is about possession and jealousy. The queen was obsessed with having a child. She took over the sea monster's heart that the king had exchanged for her life, and walked over the king's body without looking sideways. The maid who cooked the heart of the sea monster and the queen who ate the heart of the sea monster gave birth to two identical boys, and they were brothers and sisters. Driven by possessiveness, the queen obstructed the...

      The ending was terrible, the beginning was so-so, otherwise it would have been perfect. Sad, painful, real. Everything that a fairy tale fable can express is expressed. Still the same sentence, European movie pictures can be finished casually. In the final analysis, it is really a matter of...

      It is also magical, but fortunately it is a different route from A Song of Ice and Fire or Hobbit, but a slightly ethical allegory-shaped route. Among the several stories, the story of two old women is my favorite. The Queen's story always feels that the ending is a bit rate. . . The screen layout is very beautiful. And the traumatic image of VC shouting "it's her again" in it is hilarious. The film is a bit long, I was going to play three in a row, but I only watched...

      Two years after missing HKIFF, I can see it in the cinema as I wish! A fantastic collection of Italian fairy tales for adults. Salma Hayek really looks like Gong Huang~! The beautiful, cute and handsome albino brothers are so in love\(^o^)/! ! ! ! I really like Princess Violet played by Bebe Cave~! Beautiful and cute! It's a pity that she thought she would find true love in the end... Tingmei's snow-white skin and fiery red long hair are super beautiful! As stunning as a fairy! ! ! ! But it's...
