Many adults think that horror movies are not healthy enough and will affect their minds. Actually, I feel fine. This genre also has many good movies with high scores, which have a certain philosophy of life while creating a horrible effect. No one stipulates that watching horror movies is just for the sake of horror. Sometimes you can see more things through terror.
Ghosts and gods are pediatrics. Besides these, there are many other things that are more thought-provoking than this. There is a saying that is often said.
Some extreme behaviors of people are indeed far more terrible than ghosts.
The horror film introduced today is called Hansel and Gretel, which is a Korean film. There are many famous movies in Korea that can make people think deeply, dissect the depths of society and dissect many aspects of human nature. Most people know this, for example, from the melting pot of social reality, or more thoughtful thrillers such as "The Scene of Terror" or "The Monster of the Han River". Therefore, I am more interested in finding movies on weekdays and seeing that the producer is South Korea. You have to admit, especially when choosing horror movies, I wouldn't choose domestic ones if it wasn't particularly boring (statement: it's only about movies, not patriotism. )
The name "Hansel and Gretel" looks a bit complicated, similar to the format of fairy tales. In fact, it is indeed a fairy tale, from the brothers grimm. The film did not remake the story, but expressed similar content, which may be the source of inspiration for the director.
Green's version of the story is like this:
Hansel and Gretel are the children of a poor lumberjack. Afraid of food shortage, the carpenter's wife, the children's stepmother, persuaded the carpenter to take the children to the forest and abandon them. Hansel and Gretel heard their plan, so they collected some small stones in advance so that they could find their way home along them. When they came back, the stepmother persuaded the carpenter to throw them into the forest again. But this time, they arranged bread crumbs on the roadside. Unfortunately, the crumbs were eaten by animals in the forest, so Hansel and Gretel got lost in the forest.
In the forest, they found a house made of bread and the windows were made of candy. The owner of the house is an old woman. She invited them into the house and held a banquet for them. However, this old woman is actually a witch. She built this house to lure children so that she could fatten them up and kill them to eat. She locked Hansel up and asked Gretel to serve her. When she was preparing to cook Hansel, Gretel climbed into the stove to confirm, but Gretel guessed that the witch was going to roast her, so she tricked the witch into climbing into the stove and scalded her alive.
After taking all the jewels from the witch's house, they found their way home and reunited with their father. At this time, their stepmother had died, and they lived happily ever after.
Fairy tales are for children, so the general tone of fairy tales should be warm and pleasant. Even if our hero is in big trouble, he can always solve it perfectly with wisdom.
But the movie Hansel and Gretel doesn't look so pleasant. Children become "devil-like" killers inside, but under their angelic appearance, there is a twisted heart, but no one will become a devil for no reason. There is no doubt that there are unimaginable reasons behind their blackening. We will gradually understand this truth at the back of the film, and in the process, our mood will be a little lower.
If the real world can be like a fairy tale, why can't children grow up healthily?
The main characters in the movie are three brothers and sisters. They live in a hut deep in the forest, quietly waiting for the unexpected "prey". If the "prey" meets their expectations, then everything is fine. If not, it will be miserable in various forms.
In fact, these children were just orphans abandoned here at first. The jungle hut used to be a place similar to an orphanage, but they met a dean of #% and treated every child here cruelly, even the youngest sister.
My brother couldn't bear it anymore and resisted. At the moment he pushed the dean into the stove, there was no pleasure of killing, only fear and helplessness. What we see outside the screen is only deep sympathy and frustration. There is no saying in this world that anyone must die, but some people are not dead, which will lead to more innocent deaths. Under such circumstances, the child's behavior is understandable.
However, later, children who were too lacking in care began to drift away on the road of "devil". They are waiting for adults to visit in fairy-tale houses, hoping that they will become their own family and accompany them for life forever. However, how can these tourists give up their families and lives easily, even if they want to be kind to these children, they still insist on leaving?
Children don't understand their reasons, only feel that no one wants to like themselves. They often say:
It is true that fate is unfair to them, but this unfairness eventually turned into a strong hatred ... out of control.
We look at the extreme behavior of these children and don't know whether to say that they are wrong. Killing people is really wrong, but such a tragedy is caused by more people, abandoning their parents and perverting the dean. ...
There are also many "delinquent teenagers" in our real life. Some people vandalize public property, some people gather to fight, rob primary school students, and some even choose to take drugs. Everyone knows that these things are never made by nature, but not many people pay attention to their real motives. Perhaps it is really just because of the lack of parental care and social care.
I once saw an experimental program on the Internet. In the first stage of the experiment, a little girl was asked to seek help from social groups in two ways. One group is a well-dressed child with a clean face. At first glance, it is very "cultured", and the other set is sloppy. Her face and clothes are dirty, and she looks like a wandering "wild child"
The experimental results show that the former is much more concerned than the latter, and the latter is basically ignored. If you meet a kind person, you will kindly refuse to help, and if you meet a bad person, you will even reprimand her directly. Afterwards, when asked about the feelings of the little girl in the experiment, she was very young, but she made it very clear:
Fortunately, this is only an experiment, but the impact on children is already so sad. What about those truly homeless children?
What will they do if the society has never been kind to them? Maybe they will commit suicide, maybe they will choose to attract attention through extreme behavior. It's not that they don't know that killing people is illegal, but they would rather break the law than ignore it. What a sad thing it is!
Fortunately, Hansel and Gretel have another good person. The good man influenced these children with his sincere love and returned to his life. I just don't know how many good people in reality are willing to pay sincerely.
To tell the truth, it's easy to love your children. Loving a strange child really needs more heart and responsibility. We can't ask everyone to do something for them, but at least, I hope there won't be so many families abandoning their children. I hope those who choose to help children are really good to children (and there will be no tragedy like the orphanage director). )
Although the film follows a somewhat dark fairy tale style, it is still very good-looking with some "supernatural" special effects. In addition, Korean children's acting skills are really brilliant, real and touching. One of the little girls is Shen Enjing, the heroine of "Sunshine Sisters Amoy". She is also very cute in this movie.
? May there be no hidden fear behind every child's fairy tales.
