Jealousy, greed, control, selfishness, and doting are vividly displayed, and justice and kindness are also present, but they are very weak compared to the former.

The princess married not a prince but a troll. She finally met a person who was willing to sacrifice herself to save herself, but was killed by a troll in an instant, which was always unsatisfactory. Everyone who chooses to do something will pay a price, both in life and in death. So I don't feel the slightest sympathy or regret for the death of the troll

The queen's desire to control her son is too strong. In order to prevent her son from meeting her good brother, she turns into a monster and wants to kill her brother at any cost. Unexpectedly, the son protects the injured friend and leads her to be unable to start. The sword ended the mother turned monster

The mysterious man in black appeared only twice, but controlled the queen's fate. All this was driven by the queen herself. Desire is crucial, I remembered a ballad lyric that says "Girl, all your desires come from the pain in your heart".

At the end of the movie, the unrelated protagonists of the three stories gather together, the princess ascends the throne, and everyone's eyes turn to the sky: a man walking on a burning wire with a balance rod in his hand appears high in the sky. I think this must be the princess's memorial to the family of five who died trying to save her from the trolls. Here again reveals the theme of the film: balance. All things in the world are in balance, there are gains and losses

    Dark Gothic fairy tale. Gorgeous retro style, the three stories reflect different aspects of human nature. There are gains and losses, and any return needs to be paid to obtain, and no one can get it for nothing. The princess beheaded the troll and came back to be crowned as the queen.

    The queen ate an unfamiliar heart and gave birth to a child in one day. The two brothers must be the children of the sea monster; the fleas can eat the king's blood and grow bigger and bigger. Home, how did the little brother who rescued the princess get across the cliff is an unsolved mystery now; the king who was lustful actually fell in love with the old woman... The color contrast is strong, the composition is beautiful, and the brain is amazing. It really deserves to be Black fairy tale.
