Star Ye has a line in "Mermaid": Fairy tales, don't think too much. It fully tells us that fairy tales are all lies.
Silly white and sweet fairy tales like the kind of princes and princesses living happily together leave a good impression on the world for children; but the world is after all two-sided, good and evil.
Fairy tales tell stories, and dark fairy tales speak of reality.
Today Ono is going to give you an inventory of some of the dark fairy tale movies led by Tim Burton in those years (below, welcome to 4G browsing)
NO.1 "When the Monster Knocks"
Director: Juan Antonio Bayana

The girl in the context of World War II, Olea, has a brutal officer stepfather, a lonely, sensitive girl who faces the cruelty of war and the humiliation of her stepfather every day, and under the repressive life, Olea fantasizes about the ultimate kingdom of "Pan".

5-year-old Charlie, by chance, got a ticket to visit the world's most mysterious chocolate factory, and the other four friends embarked on a fantastic adventure in the chocolate factory.
A straightforward but profound film. Tell you bluntly: the last heir of the factory will be Charlie; tell you bluntly: all bad people will be punished; tell you euphemistically: family is more important than anything, cherish the people around you.
NO.4 "Big Fish"

Will has a strange father who always likes to tell strange stories. Before his father died, Will decided to embark on a journey to prove the authenticity of these stories.
In the world, there is only a need to distinguish between true and false outside of the people you love. There are various things to say about the things in life. The so-called truth may be the most tedious, and there is always something difficult to accept. And people who paint a rainbow on the surface of life, they deserve respect and trust because of their love.

Just the right thrill, exquisite special blood. About the magic circle of love, an unexpected but reasonable ending.

NO.9 "Ghost Mother"
Director: Henry Selik

The teenage caroline has no intention of entering another world that is completely opposite to the boring real world, in which all of Caroline's wishes can be fulfilled, and the choice of remaining in this anti-world or returning to that boring world becomes Caroline's problem.
"You really don't understand, I don't want what I want, no one wants, really, if I want what I can get, then what fun is there, what I want, then it's not interesting, what about getting it?" 」 --Caroline.
NO.10 "Rising Tide Coast" (New Alice in Wonderland)
Director: Terry Gilliam
Starring Jodelle Ferland, Janet McTeer, Brendan Fletcher
In order to escape her real-life rogue parents, the girl Rose began to weave Alice's dream in a locomotive next to the railway, holding her own doll.
The most insidious conjecture of this world is to think that its existence occurs by me, and that all births, old age, illness, death, rheology, and destruction and birth, except for me, are illusory images. Building life here, the so-called sorrow, the so-called joy, the so-called unavoidable, love and separation, resentment and hatred, but like a mirror flower and water moon. What is the difference between relatives, lovers, friends, colleagues, passers-by, and, in the final analysis, from fleeting thoughts like bubbles?
In fact, Ono has always felt that everyone has an unhealthy teenager living in their hearts; and these dark colored worlds, different from popular horror movies, are rebellious and specially kind and transparent; aren't these our own manifestations?
Of course, Ono hopes that life will always be full of sunshine, and do not feel empathy with the protagonists of these dark fairy tales.
