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 communication between her twin brothers, and eventually her jealousy burned herself and buried herself. It is the only love who kills himself.
It seems that many stories about jealousy are about wanting and losing, and eventually even getting on with yourself.
The second story is temptation and greed. The king is lustful, hunting like Casanova. The king and the old woman seduced each other, and the old woman fell into the fall step by step, from the success of her plan to the disguise, to the bottom of the valley and the twists and turns, to the top but finally a dream.
However, the old woman's sister is the real tragedy, the victim of her sister, and the victim of her own greed. Covetousness for vanity and youthful skin is the source of tragedy for the two sisters.
The third story, loneliness runs through the whole book. From the beginning of the story, the princess plays and sings songs written for her father, and the monotonous and stereotyped images create loneliness and desolation. The king is lonely, keeps fleas as pets, and loves him like sons. The princess is lonely, she hates marriage and longs to meet a lover. The princess at that time really looked like an idiot. The king chooses his husband in absurd ways, and as a result, the princess falls into despair and begins to awaken herself. The princess ran up to the roof of the castle, uttering a ruthless denunciation and revelation of her father. This is how the princess's growth began. Around the castle, there is no village farmland, and everything in sight is barren. Unbelievably lonely. The princess' bridal chamber, on a cliff with few people, in a cave full of bones. Until one day, when the princess saw the same kind, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. However, great hope and joy were dashed at the beginning. The princess saved herself. Standing in front of the king again, there is almost no human form, but at that moment, the princess turned out to be the most beautiful, and silly Baitian was reborn.
Kings are lonely, princesses are lonely, castles are lonely, giants are lonely. Everyone is a prisoner of loneliness, and loneliness is the source of tragedy. Luckily, the princess is ultimately in charge of her own destiny.
It is said that in the second story, the sister is pitiful and the sister's ruthless point of view, I do not agree with it very much. The elder sister obviously loves the younger sister very much and did what she could, although she kept a hand and did not tell the truth. On the contrary, the younger sister exposed her greedy nature at this time, just like her elder sister. She was dazzled by the temptation and lost her mind. The eight cows could not be pulled back, so who could blame.
As for saying that the princess in the third story is a green tea bitch, I really want to ask, if a monster insists on living with you, in order to possess you, he will kill a lot of people without blinking an eye, and you will be able to live in isolation from the monster without hesitation. Is it time for Ru Mao to drink blood? Simply speechless.
In short, if you like dark fairy tales, you should not miss this movie. If it's not too long, I'll watch it again.

    I like this kind of dark fairy tale movie very much, especially when the temperament is right, it makes people feel unsatisfied. All three stories are wonderful, and I like the last one to walk a tightrope. The gorgeous visual effects and the quirky atmosphere complement each other, and it is a masterpiece in this type of film.

    It looks so good! I thought that the most important thing for a film based on this kind of folk story is the art and the environment. This film is like a few intertwined dreams. Collection
