In comparison, the adaptations of fairy tales such as "Maleficent", "Alice in Wonderland", and "Magic and Wonderful", although the plot has changed a lot, but the theme is still within the scope of fairy tales, young and old. should. The adaptation of "Hansel and Gretel: The Witch Hunter" is actually more similar to "Vampire Hunter Lincoln". A different story. Of course, in order to take care of everyone's feelings, the plot is tied as much as possible within the framework of the prototype. Try to follow the development of the prototype story. In doing so, it took a lot of advantage in publicity, and successfully sold the dog meat with the sign of sheep's head.
As the original "Candy House" story, it is about the little brothers and sisters Hansel and Gretel who were abandoned by the stepmother into a forest, and the helpless little brothers and sisters came to a house made of candies. It is the nature of the little pot friends to like candy, but this candy house is a witch’s trap. Hansel and Gretel were tortured by the witch in the hut. But in the end they escaped by their own wisdom.
The story of "Hansel and Gretel: The Witch Hunter" tells the story 15 years after the occurrence of "Candy House". It is a sequel, somewhat similar to the interpretation of the rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland". It also tells the story behind the candy house. From this point of view, the story revolves around the candy house and the witch, but the witch who looks too horrible, and the scene of the blood flow, but the fairy tale does not appear, on the contrary, there is a kind of B-grade film everywhere. The flavor comes.
As a sequel, it first tells that Hansel and Gretel became witch hunters because of their childhood shadows. Specializes in hunting witches as its own responsibility, free from the system, as a bounty hunter, making money while doing harm to the people. This year, they came to their birthplace after fighting and killing a circle. Found that a gathering of witches is brewing here, a powerful black witch intends to use the blood of 12 children to make new magic, so that the witches will overcome their fear of fire and become invincible in the world. In the process of fighting against witches, Hansel and Gretel gradually discovered that their siblings were so powerful that the spells of ordinary witches were ineffective against them. The reason was that they were the descendants of witches, and their mother was a white Witch.
The white witch and the black witch go hand in hand. In this world, the white witch is a kind-hearted witch who uses magic to help the world become better. The Black Witch is a bad guy who kills people and makes destruction. Roughly speaking, Harry Potter and Hao Min are considered white wizards, and Voldemort is considered a black wizard. After distinguishing the difference between Hansel and Gretel, they teamed up with a white witch against a whole group of black witches to prevent them from practicing black magic. Then, it was a brawl of a B-level movie, which caused the witches to die, burst their bodies, and shed blood in various forms.
To put it bluntly, it is a story of a man and a woman teaming up to fight monsters, but just borrowed the "Candy House" gimmick and added the background of the story, and then began various dog-blood fights and hunts. There is nothing good about the whole story. It just made the story round and logically self-consistent. Not to mention the depth, the artistic conception is also lacking, only for the plasma lovers. I want to see the scene where my head is broken by a gun, my limbs are torn apart at every turn, meat sauce is splashing, and blood is flying around. Then this film can still be seen. If you want to watch something warm with your children, it's better to stay away from this one.
