In fairy tales, we can see good, righteous and evil wars, often ending in the victory of good over evil.

This allows us to see the incarnation of justice, light and hope in fairy tales, and makes us more confident to face various injustices and lay the foundation of truth, goodness and beauty in our hearts.

Fairy tales often rely on our childhood to exist. Fairy tales give us beautiful memories of childhood, give us countless longings, and even affect our thoughts and concepts.

In the hearts of most girls, there is such a fairy tale - one day, there will be a prince charming who falls in love with him and will not travel far to marry him.

There are also countless boys who fantasize that they are Prince Charming in fairy tales, driving a white horse to rescue the beloved princess who was trapped in the castle.

Therefore, fairy tales have become a topic that everyone can't avoid in childhood, and also shape our three views unknowingly.

It is precisely because fairy tales are so magical that they can educate people. As the subject matter of many movies and TV, fairy tales are deeply loved by the audience.

Today, the movie we are going to talk about is a new age fairy tale - "The Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs".

Borrow from multiple fairy tales and narrate a new fairy tale

"Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs" was written and directed by South Korean director Song Ho-hong, and the film tells the story of a modern version of Snow White.

In the movie, Snow White's stepmother cursed her father, King White, into a big wooden rabbit for her own ulterior purpose.

The stepmother also took control of the country, and the whole country was shrouded in black magic.

In order to make herself young, the stepmother does not hesitate to use magic to turn the cursed person into a magic apple tree. The fruit used to bear looks like an apple, but it is a mysterious red shoe that can be turned into a magic shoe.

The stepmother wanted to get the magic red shoes, but she did as she wished. The magic little red shoes were put on by the chubby Snow White who had inadvertently intruded and turned into a young and beautiful princess.

After the stepmother learned the news, she started a journey of chasing and killing Snow White. In order to protect herself and find her father, Snow White embarked on a journey to find seven warriors and rescue her father.

The seven warriors in the story were originally seven handsome and rich princes, but they were cursed and turned into seven green, chubby dwarfs.

The only way to break the curse of the Seven Dwarfs is to get a kiss from the most beautiful woman in the world.

The seven dwarfs tried every way to get Snow White's kiss, but they couldn't change it back.

Until the end of the story, the seven dwarfs went to the palace, rescued Snow White who was controlled by magic, and finally defeated the witch stepmother.

Among them, the dwarf Mo Lin, who fell in love with Snow White, returned to his original handsome appearance after being kissed by Snow White, while the other dwarfs were still on the way to find the most beautiful woman in the end.

The above is probably the description of the story of the film.

Through this story description, we can see that the film borrows classic fairy tales such as "Red Shoes", "Snow White" and "Cinderella" to tell fairy tales in the new era.

In the movie, the red apple turns into a red shoe, and the plot of looking for his father borrows the story of a red shoe looking for another red shoe in "Red Shoes".

The storyline of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is borrowed from the story of Snow White who was abused by her stepmother, fled to the forest mountain, and met the Seven Dwarfs in "Snow White".

The seven dwarfs rescued the princess, especially Maureen fell in love with Snow White, and even regardless of the danger of his life, he returned to the castle to rescue Snow White who was cursed by his stepmother and turned into an apple tree, borrowed from "Cinderella" wearing a crystal The princess of shoes is trapped in the castle by her stepmother, and Prince Charming goes to rescue.

Although the plots of these three fairy tales are borrowed, and there are shadows of these three stories in the movie, but because of the adaptation of the plots, it is refreshing.

In our impression, Snow White is a symbol of beauty, but here she is a chubby little girl who only turned into a beautiful princess because she wore magic shoes.

The seven green dwarfs were originally handsome and rich princes, but because of their arrogance, they were cursed to become the current green and chubby dwarfs.

The beautiful Snow White fell in love with the pudgy Maureen without knowing it, which was never seen in the original fairy tale and is the novelty of this film.

There are also puppet magicians, flying brooms, copiers, robots, etc. that appear in the movie, which are modern elements and new fairy tale elements that conform to the times.

Use fairy tales to point directly to people's hearts and show the truth, goodness and beauty

Through the movie, we can see that this movie breaks the routine of traditional fairy tales, and uses different plots to show us that the true beauty of the heart is the real beauty.

In the movie, the beautiful Snow White fell in love with the chubby Maureen, but was unwilling to deceive Maureen. Finally, she took off her magic shoes and showed her real chubby image in front of Maureen.

Although she was worried that Maureen would like her more when she saw her ugly self, but she still did it.

Although Maureen was a handsome prince, he was cursed to become a squat green dwarf.

Although he is short and fat, the beautiful Snow White chose to fall in love with him because of his sincere efforts.

After Maureen learned that Snow White was a short and fat princess, he did not despise her, but loved her as always, and even desperately went to rescue her...

Their various performances tell us:

The real truth, goodness and beauty does not necessarily have to be a beautiful princess on the outside, but a fat princess with a kind heart; true love does not depend on the appearance of the other party, but is together because of the beauty of the heart.

What the director tells us here is that the beauty of the soul is the real beauty.

A beautiful face does not necessarily have a beautiful heart, but a person with a beautiful heart must be a beautiful person.

Many people believe that appearance has great magic power, and feel that "face value is justice", but they forget that beautiful face value also needs to be beautiful without being set off. .

We know that when interacting with people, it may be because of appearance at first, but it will last for a long time because of inner beauty. This is the so-called " beginning with appearance and ending with character. "

This is what "The Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs" says, and it's what we agree with.

We have watched too many movies and TV series, and we have encountered many similar things around us. Many people who are beautiful on the outside have the heart of a poisonous scorpion.

Like Xue Ying in "If You Love Me, Don't Think Too Much", she is beautiful on the outside but selfish on the inside.

In order to achieve the purpose of marrying Li Honghai, he directed and acted the story of jumping off a building, only to guarantee his company in the name of Li Honghai after marriage.

After that, her evil deeds were smashed, the marriage was not formed, and in the marriage of Li Honghai and Xia Keke, she tried every means to destroy this sincere relationship.

Jewelry shop owner Howard's lover in "Rough Diamond" is beautiful in appearance, under the banner of loving Howard, but in the end he is doing things with others and defrauding Howard for his bonus...

There are so many people who are beautiful on the outside but evil on the inside.

Of course, we are not here to say that a person who is beautiful on the outside is not beautiful on the inside, but we just want to explain that a person who is beautiful on the outside is not good enough, and beauty on the inside is the real beauty.
