Netflix animation《Cinderella Variations from Grimm's Fairy Tales》Plot introduction: Isn't it okay to use evil means to try to get happiness?

The recently broadcast - Variations on Grimm's Fairy Tales Cinderella - left a deep impression on people both in terms of the various details of the characters in the play and the climax of the plot.The following is some content that the editor has provided for the general audience about the Netflix animation - Variations on Grimm's Fairy Tales Cinderella - plot introduction: Isn't it okay to use evil means to achieve happiness?

This - Grimm's Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella - is really dark, and has a twisted psychological sense of subversion. I really admire the screenwriter for being able to capture the original - Cinderella -—the essence of the story and characters, but uses these essences to design counter-intuitive stories!Let’s discuss something about Grimm’s Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella~

First of all, I think that before reading - Grimm's Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella -, you should first review - What is the original story of Cinderella intended to express?Just like Cinderella, the character of Kiyoko is a child who has lost her mother. In this story, losing her mother is a childhood trauma for Kiyoko (but it can also be interpreted that Kiyoko is a psychopathic child.), although the plot does not specifically depict Qingzi's traumatic performance of losing her mother, but as Qingzi approaches - Grimm's Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella - what is said in the ending - happiness is very fragile - thisIn one sentence, it can be deduced that the reason why Qingzi's personality is twisted and sinister comes from the death of her mother (just like the original Cinderella, the death of her mother is the source of Cinderella's determined pursuit of happiness). For Qingzi,It is said that it is a kind of realization - happiness - a twisted psychological abnormality that is easily lost. Therefore, when the new mother and sister come to this home, it is Qingzi's manipulation, and it is also a game character for Qingzi to build her own happiness.

Therefore, in the Grimm's Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella - the very beginning of the dialogue between William, Jacob, and Charlotte has already revealed that Kiyoko is a character who wants to pursue happiness, butThis version of the pursuit of happiness does not use the original Cinderella's strong character to obtain it, but uses a very sinister way to manipulate happiness. To put it bluntly, Kiyoko does all this just to regain the happiness in her heart.“Happiness-that’s it~ And《Variations on Grimm’s Fairy Tales: Cinderella/Cinderella》also interpreted in a super sinister way《don’t worry, girls who are serious and hard-working will definitely be happy in the end》In other words, it’s okay for me to use evil ways to try to achieve happiness, right?”

In our original impression, we would think that the step-sister is a bad person~ But in Grimm's Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella《are Makiko and Sawako really bad sisters?They are just like the original Cinderella story. Indeed, they had a lot of greed when they first came home. They wanted the amethyst hair ornament on Qingzi's head, beautiful things, etc. (just in this homeOn the first night, they were discussing the mentality of asking for these things from this family), especially in the very beginning of the story, Makiko misunderstood that the maid stole her hair style, and then mocked the maid's status and origin (but sheForgetting that they were also at the bottom of society in the past), in the Brothers Grimm Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella, the characters of the two sisters indeed reflect their true colors from beginning to end - greed -~

They are indeed flawed people. Although the plot seems that the two sisters were bullied by Kiyoko's manipulation and look very pitiful, it may even make the audience think that these two sisters are becoming more and more sympathetic, but the audience can think carefully.I think, if Qingzi hadn't deliberately manipulated this game, would these two sisters have evolved into the original Cinderella stepsisters who bullied and tortured Qingzi every day?

So Qingzi basically grasped the greedy pain points of these two sisters. For several years, she used the most beautiful and noble things for these two sisters, so that the two sisters would rather endure humiliation than dare to leave this home.Otherwise, using a realistic filter, the two sisters could at most leave home and go out to be self-reliant, but they did not do so. They even stepped into Kiyoko and gave Makiko all the power to take charge of the family home. This has already insinuated that people have come to the pyramid.At the top, you will always be reluctant to let go.

Therefore, whether the two sisters are the poor people in the story, I don’t think so. This is just like a common problem in our current society that has a certain degree of attachment to material things. Just like the two sisters even escaped from Qingzi and this family.The method is to marry the viscount, which also symbolizes the concept of wanting to live in another rich family~ In the ending of Grimm's Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella, MakikoAfter Sawako was kicked out of the house, Makiko suddenly realized, she said - don't act anymore, we are free -, so these two sisters were imprisoned by Kiyoko in this home, I think, veryTo a large extent, they are freed from the material and desires in their hearts.

What I want to discuss next is - Variations on Grimm's Fairy Tales: Cinderella/Cinderella - in the character of Qingzi, the writer and director spend a long time (almost half the length) describing the character of Qingzi - what are they planning?“The motivation”, Qingzi’s plan really kept the audience guessing for a long time, and through the new mother and the two sisters, they said it many times in the lines“What are you planning”—?“Why did you do this?”There are many questions. The new mother and sister have no idea what the benefits of Qingzi's conspiracy are to her. Indeed, I have been having such questions in the first half of this episode when watching it.

For example, the incident where the hair accessories designed by Kiyoko was stolen, causing the servant to be ridiculed and ridiculed by Makiko, the incident where Kiyoko fell down the stairs, the incident where she volunteered to be a servant to serve her mother and sister, etc. Kiyoko has many roles - whatever you say, I will do it.The line "do《" echoes what my father once said at the dinner table》what would you do if there were no servants《?What Qingzi does is terrible. Using this sentence to deconstruct the idea of ​​Qingzi being willing to become a servant, I think she is reversely manipulating these people to need her, and she can do anything for these people, so that they can stay by their side and cannot live without him.But he is also afraid of Qingzi and afraid of disobedience.

When I looked at the character of Kiyoko, I immediately thought of a sentence - seemingly harmless people are often the most terrifying - - Grimm's Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella - Screenwriters sometimes use the third perspectiveThe characters are used to convey a harmless image of Kiyoko, such as the other servants in the family who think Kiyoko is pure and kinder than anyone else, the guests at the ball who only think Kiyoko is pitiful, and the viscount who thinks that both sisters are bullying Kiyoko.The perspective gives the strongest irony - the blind perspective of outsiders who only see the surface - + - the dark underbelly that sets off Kiyoko's conspiracy -, and it also satirizes that a person's kindness can be easily manipulated.

》Variations on Grimm's Fairy Tales: Cinderella/Cinderella《In Qingzi's story line, the same purpose as Cinderella is to find happiness. As we have discussed before, Qingzi was traumatized by the loss of her mother and felt very attached to happiness.Fragile, so Qingzi's whole plan is to let herself have happiness, so she treats the new mother and new sister as her dolls and manipulates the entire story (the doll is the medium symbol through which the owner tells the story), allowing herselfThere can be happy endings.Therefore, the whole family is a doll for her to write happy stories. Her father's death makes Qingzi happy because he will hinder the smoothness of Qingzi's plan, so she is very happy that her father can die.“Everything is just an act, so that I can marry into the Ichijo family. They have entertained us longer than anyone else”, Qingzi’s manipulation of this family is indeed working hard for her own happiness, so that she can be in the family.The image of the prince and outsiders can be - pure - kind - - Grimm's Fairy Tale Variations: Cinderella/Cinderella - the screenwriter and director use a super sinister way to make the princess happy!As for whether Qingzi and Viscount can live a happy life in the future, it seems that Qingzi feels more and more interesting about playing this game.

》Variations on Grimm's Fairy Tales《The first episode alone is an amazing adaptation of the story of Cinderella/Cinderella!》Variations on Grimm's Fairy Tales: Cinderella/Cinderella》 has a very good painting style and atmosphere, and has a great rhythm in the succession, transition, and presentation of the whole idea.
