How to write a tragic reality into a fairy tale, and then light up the hope of reality

The identity of the witch is in line with the research of child psychology. The real Rapunzel story is actually the relationship between control freaks and emotionally abusive parents and children. Parents provide food and clothing to raise their children, and they also control and manipulate their children in all aspects from the person to the spirit. They exploit the youthful vitality of their children and light up their bleak lives; while the children have been brainwashed by their parents for a long time. All kinds of emotional abuse behaviors are rationalized and internalized, taking parents' abuse and exploitation of themselves as a matter of course, and a pathological symbiosis has formed between parents and children over time. The child’s life is increasingly haggard due to being ingested by his parents, causing serious personality disorders (such as Yang Yuanyuan, who committed suicide after breaking away from his mother’s morbid symbiosis, or Tan Beibei, who was casually attracted by bad boys to "resist" his mother, etc.). The only way for children to get rid of is to "mother-killing", that is, when their parents are dead, draw a line with the abusive parents, and no longer live with their parents psychologically. But the above-mentioned psychological stories are too tragic to be told directly to children. Therefore, the fairy tale has to be adapted in various ways-1. The witch is not a birth mother, but a kidnapper (to avoid the huge ethical pain caused by the protagonist's entanglement in blood relationship); 2. The witch should have suffered serious psychological abuse due to long-term emotional abuse The princess in question recovered quickly because of the magical power of Sunflower, and was still cheerful and energetic, without leaving irreversible psychological trauma; 3. Children who have never received love and tolerance are easy to be bad boys in reality. If you are a good thing, you will cheat away, but Eugene in this film is actually a good guy and doesn’t want to deceive the girl; 4. The heroine’s great cause of resistance actually needs external help, but the prince is outdated, so he is handsome and flattering. 5. The chameleon was responsible for the final "mother-killing" task, avoiding the moral pressure of the heroine. Disney has been so good at using animal characters as a supplement to the hero's personality for decades. . You see, after the script is written in seconds, a tragic story can be adapted into a cartoon. Of course, children only need to watch happily. As for the deep meaning, only adults know. It is said that this film is the first part of Disney's animated feature film with PG (counseling level), not the previous G (all ages). I think it is very realistic. At least after watching this film, I will learn to distinguish what is emotional abuse. The number of people has increased, which is good for the children’s growth environment.

    Four stars, the story is relatively simple, not too new, the male protagonist is a bit ugly. Overall feeling is lower than expected.
