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 film is full of bloody and violent scenes. It is not recommended to watch it at night, so as not to cause nightmares. Of course, heavy taste lovers feel free.

Constructed from three stories, this film is eye-catching as soon as it comes up. The image of Salma Hayek nibbling on the sea monster's heart in front of the table is too impactful. That feeling only grew as the unexpected plot unfolded.

These stories, like weary parents who make up their children before going to bed, are completely unreasonable, but they are lively and interesting and can be told endlessly for a thousand and one nights. Of course, the premise is that the child is not scared to cry.

Of course, after getting used to the dark style, you will find that this film is indeed a fairy tale. Unlike mythological stories, there are not many realistic morals, but deep meanings are hidden in seemingly illogical plots. Jealousy, vanity, deceit, greed, violence, the dark side of human nature is visible in front of desire. At the end of the film, an artist holding a balance beam and walking on a wire with fire over the castle, the world seems to have regained a temporary balance. And the people below all know in their hearts that life is an adventure, no matter how tossed it will end the same, no one can escape.

    Ingenious craftsmanship, amazing. The Palace Qi said in the three dark fairy tales, the dark and strange words passed down by word of mouth among the people. A strange word runs through the entire fine and magnificent film, the costumes, props, makeup and even photography are amazing. The inseparable twin crown prince, the twilight old woman who madly admires the young, and the simple princess who longs for marriage are all born because of one love word. The film presents a stunningly gorgeous, colorful dark aesthetic for the ultimate enjoyment.
