Magical Black Forest, a great test
of human nature / Li Zhentian's
wife ordered "Magic Black Forest" on the LeTV box in the evening. This is a song and dance movie with a large collection of fairy tales. Drinking red wine and listening to the ditty reminded me of "The Sound of Music" The song "DO~RI~MI" is not tired at all.
Cinderella Cinderella put on her golden shoes, went to a party, danced, met the prince and ran away, and the prince took pains to identify her. Originally, I could have written the most beautiful ending like a childish child, but suddenly the earth collapsed, giants attacked, and the prince strayed and escaped, as Guangliang sang "Fairy tales are all lies, you can't be my prince", the prince is charming , but not seriously, fall in love with one person and then fall in love with another person.
The characters in fairy tales are tested and tempered in the black forest, and finally they show the true side of each person.
The above prince rides a high-headed horse and says that he wants to defeat the giantess, but in his heart he will not make up his mind to join Rila, baker Baker, Little Red Riding Hood, and little boy Jack to take risks and go to the enemy. Instead, he likes the new and hates the old. To kiss the baker's wife.
In the film, there is a large section of fast-mouthed singing and dialogue, and several people are chattering, but the speech is very clear, very much like a Broadway public stage play. The protagonists blame each other for "It's your fault" to test their own humanity, which is very exciting.
The cursed witch is very greedy and selfish, such a hateful person must be pitiful, a multi-faceted prism whose character determines fate. Because they lost the beans and planted a curse on the baker's family, robbed Rapunzel and blinded Prince Charming, and had to wrap Jack over to the giantess. The witch herself was first cursed to age before her age, then betrayed and separated, and finally fell into the quagmire and died.
Jack repeatedly pondered "what is good and what is bad". He had no choice but to sell cows. In order to redeem himself, he went to climb beanstalks to steal gold nuggets to kill the giant, which attracted the giantess' revenge. home was slaughtered. No matter there is any reason to use an excuse to do something that goes against legal conscience, there will always be an aftermath. Jack finally used his own bait to redeem himself. The giantess is not "one person", and killing her can save more people. In the adult world full of right and wrong, "there are only pros and cons, no right or wrong".
Little Red Riding Hood "walk your own way and let others tell you." In the forest, she was tempted by the big bad wolf to go off the road and mess with flowers. When she got home, her grandmother was eaten by the wolf. Although she was resurrected, she always thought about it before doing things What will my grandmother teach. The meaning of her appearance is like everyone's rebellious adolescence, never listening to the old man's words and being cautious in front of him, and then deciding on his own to participate in the action of hunting giants and growing up on time.
Baker Baker has written a lot of chapters and chapters. From a small philistine who is unwilling to help others, to have a child in order to break the spell, it is a big step forward. In order to protect his wife, he would rather go into the Black Forest alone. Every time he says something to let his wife leave, he is very like a warm man. When he was hit, when his wife died, he initially wanted to give up his responsibilities and escape from reality. Later, he did not repeat the same mistakes. You had the courage to murder the giantess, and his father's mistakes had to be corrected while crying. Love requires courage, and life also requires courage.
"Magic Black Forest" is an adult fairy tale, subverting many old fairy tale concept patterns. No man is perfect, and he must face and improve his own humanity. In the same way, most of the reality is not as good as the ideal, learn to fight to break free. This is growth.

    The Black Forest is just a place where stories are connected, and then all kinds of fairy tales are mixed together, but it is still not attractive, and it is not the Avengers...
