Very interesting ending, cruel fairy tale
Forced by life, I have to come and take a look
the evil of human nature
I just watched the movie. Although it is cruel, I have to admit that this is the evil of human nature. In that desperate situation, people or animals will kill each other. Never speculate on the extremes of human nature easily. It is indeed a very interesting and wonderful adventure.
It turns out to be a horror novel
I watched the movie first, then read the novel. Only after watching the movie did I realize it was a horror novel. The evil of human nature makes people's hair stand on end. I finally know what love is. True love is to understand the dangers of the human heart and still be grateful for the beauty of the world. This is true love.
After watching the movie, I had many questions, so I came back and read the book again. The author is great. I especially like to read this kind of fantasy, drifting, and suspenseful novels.
The story is very attractive. After reading the movie and reading the book, I was still a little confused and decided to watch it again.
Isn't it a teenager?
Good! Very meaningful!
