Heroes and demons are stories, Marlene Fissen is reality

Marlene Fissen’s spiritual world is Moore Forest, and Stephen’s spiritual world is the human kingdom. They are not the real world, but who can say that the world we live in is real? Maybe each of us just lives in our own world.

Moore Forest was once so beautiful, but too simple, so it was hurt by jealousy and greed, turned into an evil universe, full of revenge and resentment. But the pure, kind, and weak Arlo awakened the last warmth, or the beauty that has never disappeared, in Marlene Fison's heart, allowing the Moore Forest to gradually recover, until one day, Marlene Fison's heart knot was completely opened, she Realize that true love exists, and love is the eternal theme of Moore Forest and the human kingdom.

But it is not easy to guard this true love. Heroes are not born heroes. Maybe they were originally pure Maleficent, or even the evil Maleficent, but they eventually grew up as guardians of true love.

It is not easy to become the watcher of a better world, or it is not as easy as we think. This is perhaps what this movie wants to express most. Pure heroes and demons are stories, separated from reality by a curtain. But isn't it greater to be a realistic hero? Both "fairies" and "demons" can be heroes, or if we don't have the ability to be heroes, we can go to Arlo.

There is also an interesting detail in the film. The tree soldiers in Moore Forest are very ugly and scary, but in fact the human kingdom is even uglier.

Once, we have been so innocent and hurt... We also have love for Arlo deep in our hearts, even though she is the daughter of the person who hurt us... All of this constitutes who we are now. But in the end, did we grow into the Marlene Fissen who chose to forgive? This is a topic left to everyone by the director.

Many Disney movies use fairy tales to portray reality, but even the classics among them maintain an unsurpassable distance from reality. "Maleficent" brought it closer. It is difficult for us to see such a real humanity, such an ugly human heart, and such a deep hatred in a fairy tale...because in this fairy tale, we can see ourselves, or we can see ourselves better. Maybe I’m exaggerating. Maybe Disney has been doing such an effort. This is why Disney’s animations look good. Fairy tales, love, fear, sex...Different writers choose to explore the breadth and depth of life from different angles, while Disney chooses fairy tales.

This movie does not use fairy tales to allude to reality, but wants to turn reality into a fairy tale. It tells people how to fight back (or defense), how to forgive, and how to be a guardian of kindness and even love when facing someone who hurts you.

    The highlight of this film is that there is Angelina Jolie! The problem with this film is that only Angelina Jolie... Following in the footsteps of Frozen, Disney began to run wild on the road of non-heterosexual true love. Love my old godmother two or three things.

    Hong Kong version 3D. Jolie is really suitable for such a role as a royal sister who is both right and wrong. But other than that, the little princess' acting is contrived, and the whole film is extremely fragmented. The screenwriter has a big brain and wonders if it is a rotten countryman who loves to travel around the world. The film can be renamed "I have known each other for many years, and see how I abuse a scumbag man" or "I fall in love with my ex-boyfriend and daughter, where should I go".
