A true fairy tale

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2010)

The movie truly captures the atmosphere and concept of a fairy tale. I haven't read the book so I can't say much about it being close to the original, but it really captures the feeling you had as a child when you were read fairy tales. The empathy you have with the characters truly keeps you wondering what will happen next! Knowing Hollywood they'll throw loads of money in special effects and gloat when the audiences stare at the pretty colors and awe, so i can't say much about that. But the overall feel of the film is full of emotion, with unexpected twists that keep you glued to the screen. Those moments just make you feel love, compassion, sorrow, hate... taking you back to a warm bed where the world was so small you could touch the edges with your spread arms, and the words written on the pages of fairy tales really made you hold your breath.
