00:00 Welcome back to Fox Recaps. Today I'm going to explain the movie,
00:04 Tale of Tales, released in the year 2015. The film is divided into three narratives.
00:10 The first narrative centers around the king and queen of a kingdom named Long Trellis.
00:15 At first, it seems as if the couple is living a happy life, but later we get to know that the
00:20 queen is suffering from a rare medical condition which will never allow her to become a mother.
00:25 Because of this, the queen is always upset. Seeing his wife in this state, the king summons the best
00:31 doctors and physicians from all around the realm, but sadly none of them are able to diagnose the
00:36 mysterious illness within her. Despite this, the king tries his best to cheer up his queen.
00:41 One day, he invites some circus performers to the palace. Suddenly, the queen notices that one of
00:47 the circus performers is expecting a child. As a result, she becomes envious and starts smashing
00:53 things after entering her chamber. When the king finds out about this, he pays a visit to her room
00:58 and vows to go to any extent to solve her problem. Late at night, a strange necromancer arrives at
01:04 the castle, claiming that he can solve the queen's pregnancy problem. Hearing this, the king reminds
01:10 him that many people have tried in the past and failed. However, the necromancer is adamant that
01:15 the queen can bear a baby, but it depends on how far the king is willing to go for his queen.
01:20 The king responds, "To the last extent." The necromancer reveals that he has years of experience
01:26 and knows a lot about nature. Furthermore, he says that nature must always be in balance,
01:31 and that if the king desires a life, he must also sacrifice one. Despite his weird claims,
01:37 the king and queen give him their full support. After this, the necromancer begins describing the
01:42 process. The king will have to capture a sea monster, whose heart will be used to cure the
01:47 queen's illness. Then, a pure and unmarried lady will prepare it, which will be eaten by the queen.
01:53 In this way, the necromancer assures that the queen will become pregnant. Hearing this,
01:59 the king immediately agrees to hunt down the sea monster and begins the preparations.
02:03 The following day, the king sets out on his mission. He finds the creature in one of the
02:08 rivers. When the monster is sleeping, the king walks into the ocean to attack it.
02:13 He's eventually successful in slaying the beast, but gets critically injured in the struggle.
02:17 Soon, he succumbs to his injuries, but before he does, he removes the creature's heart.
02:23 The queen then returns to the castle, covering the heart with a cloth. Later, a maid at the
02:28 castle is found to be unmarried and pure. As a result, she's tasked with preparing the heart.
02:34 While cooking, she experiences strange sensations and suddenly becomes pregnant.
02:40 Soon, the queen consumes the heart, and finally, she becomes pregnant.
02:44 In the next scene, the maid and the queen give birth to their children at the same time.
02:49 The boys look to be the same age. The queen's son is named Elias, whereas the maid's son is
02:54 named Jonah. The movie then fast-forwards to 16 years, where the children have now become adults.
03:01 The queen is living a happy life with her son Elias, as she thinks that she's been given a
03:05 second chance at life. However, the two children, who were born on the same day and look like twins,
03:11 are not typical children, as the sea monster is represented by the white tone of their hair.
03:16 They have a strong friendship and are extremely close to each other.
03:20 The queen, on the other hand, despises their friendship. She informs her son that as a prince,
03:25 he's not permitted to be friends with the maid's son, Jonah. Despite this, Elias ignores his mother
03:31 and continues to meet with Jonah. Later, we also get to know that the kids have the capacity to
03:36 breathe underwater in a unique way. In the next scene, the queen threatens her maid that if she
03:41 doesn't prevent her son from meeting Elias, she and her kid will be expelled from the country.
03:46 Nonetheless, the two seem unconcerned and meet on a regular basis. They cross the line one day,
03:52 when Jonah wears Elias' clothing and goes to the queen. When she discovers the truth,
03:57 she chooses to exile Jonah from the kingdom. Elias makes an attempt to stop him but fails.
04:02 Jonah then cuts off a tree with his knife and water starts to flow from there. He tells Elias that as
04:09 long as the water is clean, he should know that he's alive, and as soon as it becomes red,
04:14 he should understand that Jonah's life is in jeopardy. After saying that, he walks away.
04:19 Elias checks the water regularly to see if it has turned red. One day, the water turns red and he
04:25 realizes that something is wrong. In order to find Jonah, he leaves the kingdom without notifying his
04:31 mother. After a long search, Elias finally reaches Jonah's house. He discovers that Jonah has married
04:37 a young woman. The people there identify him as Jonah, since they share the same facial features.
04:42 Then he learns that Jonah had gone to the forest five days ago and has not returned since. Elias
04:49 then goes out in search of Jonah, while the queen grows more concerned about him. Left with no
04:54 options, she approaches the necromancer again, but he asks the same thing. That if she wants her kid
05:00 to return, she must make a life sacrifice. The queen immediately accepts this proposal. Elsewhere,
05:06 Jonah is seen injured inside a cave. A flying creature then strikes and attempts to kill him.
05:12 After hearing him scream, Elias locates Jonah and terminates the creature with his sword.
05:17 However, Elias is unaware that the creature is none other than his own mother.
05:22 But that's what was agreed upon. Life for life. In the final scene of the first narrative,
05:28 Elias ascends to the throne of the kingdom, and the story ends. Following this, we are shown the
05:33 second narrative. The king and two elderly ladies, Ema and Dora, are the focus of this narrative.
05:40 The king is an extremely lustful individual who is constantly surrounded by females.
05:45 He drinks heavily all the time and is yet to locate his queen. With that being said,
05:50 he possesses the influence and fortune to marry anyone he pleases. Later, we're introduced to
05:56 two elderly sisters who reside near the palace. One of them is named Dora, and the other is Ema.
06:02 Dora is a shrewd and selfish woman, while Ema is straightforward. They hardly leave their house
06:07 and are also unmarried. It's certain that they will die there alone, yet their voices sound
06:12 incredibly pleasant and young. One morning, the king hears Dora singing and instantly gets smitten
06:17 by her voice. As a result, he decides to meet her. Soon, the king approaches their door to get a
06:23 glance of the woman. In his head, he thinks that Dora is young and beautiful. When he knocks on
06:28 the door, the sisters start panicking, as they believe the king will get angry if he finds out
06:33 about their appearance. After thinking for a while, they finally devise a plan and Dora requests the
06:38 king to come back after a week, so that she will be more comfortable. In the next scene, the sisters
06:44 strive very hard to make their fingers look young and beautiful. Dora covers her fingers with herbs,
06:50 but they still look like those of an elderly person. But on the other hand, Ema had put her
06:54 finger in her mouth for many days, and as a result, it's looking quite good and young. Today,
07:00 a week has passed, and it is the day for the king's visit. When the king arrives there, Dora
07:05 shows Ema's finger instead of her own. Now, the king is not able to hold his emotions and believes
07:10 that he has found the love of his life. However, the sisters become more worried, because if the
07:15 king finds out about their truth, he will most likely terminate them. After a lot of thinking,
07:21 Dora proposes a condition. She will sleep with the king only if there is total darkness,
07:26 and the king agrees. In the next scene, Ema starts tightening Dora's body with glue so that it may
07:32 feel like a young girl's body. At midnight, one of the guards from the temple comes to pick Dora
07:37 up while there is darkness in the palace. The king sleeps with Dora, but in the morning,
07:42 he realizes that he spent the night with an old and ugly lady. Enraged, he orders his guards to
07:47 throw Dora out of the window. Luckily, she survives the fall. In the jungle, Dora witnesses magic as a
07:54 witch arrives there and finds her. With her powers, the witch changes Dora into a beautiful young lady
08:00 with long hair. The next day, the king visits the jungle for hunting and falls in love with young
08:05 Dora at first sight. He brings her to his castle and decides to make her the queen. Dora doesn't
08:11 know how she turned into a young girl, but she remembers her sister Ema. She invites Ema to her
08:16 wedding, who is still in disbelief about her new appearance. When Ema inquires about how she became
08:22 young, Dora sarcastically replies that she peeled off her old skin. However, Ema considers it to be
08:28 true and visits an ironsmith to peel her old skin in exchange for a necklace. The ironsmith appears
08:34 to be more stupid than Ema. He takes her to the jungle, ties her against a tree, and removes all
08:39 her skin. In the next scene, Ema returns to the castle in a fragile state, and she passes away
08:46 soon. Elsewhere, the magic that turned Dora into a young girl doesn't last long. She starts to grow
08:52 old as her skin begins to fold. When she realizes that she's turning old, she runs away from the
08:57 castle. The narrative ends on a sad note as Dora transforms into her older self completely.
09:04 Following this, we're shown the third narrative, which is also about a king.
09:07 The king is of a weird nature as his queen passed away long ago. He has an unmarried daughter named
09:13 Violet, whom he has never truly loved. One day, the king sees a parasite insect on his hand,
09:19 which is sucking on his blood. Instead of swatting it away, the strange king just lets it feed on
09:24 himself. Later, he keeps the parasite in a glass box and allows it to feed on his blood every day.
09:31 As time passes, the insect becomes huge. On the other hand, Violet, who has grown to be a beautiful
09:37 young woman, always dreams of a prince. However, the irresponsible king could care less about her,
09:43 as he is always busy with his parasite pet. Unfortunately, one day, the parasite becomes
09:48 ill and dies. This devastates the king, so he peels its skin off and tells his daughter that
09:54 the time has come to find a husband for her. He says that he's going to arrange a competition,
09:59 and the one who wins it will get to marry her. On hearing this, Violet becomes happy,
10:04 but also a little upset, as she wanted to find a husband on her own. Despite this, she agrees
10:09 to the king's decision. Soon, announcements about the competition are made throughout the kingdom.
10:14 The king displays the parasite's skin in his palace and announces that whoever can guess the
10:19 name of the insect will win. Many people try, but no one can answer correctly, because that insect
10:25 has never grown that big and old. Just then, a weird-looking ogre appears in the palace.
10:30 He also wants to participate in the competition, and the king hesitantly allows him.
10:35 The ogre then smells the skin and guesses the correct answer. Upon hearing this, a devastated
10:41 Violet runs away to the roof and attempts to terminate herself. However, the king calms her
10:47 down by saying that he cannot break his promise. Left with no other choice, Violet finally agrees.
10:53 In the next scene, the ogre takes Violet far in the mountains where she cries for many days.
10:58 One day, when he goes out hunting, she sees another lady on a nearby mountain.
11:03 She begs for help and explains the whole scenario to her. The lady also sympathizes with her and
11:09 promises to come for help. The next day, the lady, along with her family, arrives there to
11:14 rescue Violet. While they're crossing over, the ogre arrives, but they successfully manage to
11:19 cut the rope and he falls. Some time later, the ogre finds the family and eliminates them one by
11:26 one. He then chases Violet into a cave and begins hugging her. Violet also pretends to care,
11:32 but the moment he's distracted, she finishes him off with a knife. In the next scene,
11:37 Violet returns to the palace with the ogre's severed head and places it next to everyone.
11:42 She then says "this is the husband you chose" and starts crying. The king is also devastated by the
11:49 sight and falls to his knees. In the final scene, Violet becomes the queen of the kingdom and the
11:55 movie ends here. That was all from the video. I hope you liked it. Subscribe for more content
