This movie takes place in the darkest time of Europe, the Middle Ages, the preparation period of the Renaissance in another interpretation though. In the semantics, the word "dark" can also be understood as suppression, " renaissance " means freedom, keeping balance between the two words of the humanity that's what the story brings to us.

At the beginning of this movie, the spectacular view of the mountains all around has created the visions of being immersive for us, with using the CGI and 3D. The following scene of a fierce fight between the ghost buster and his ex-lover dark queen has given us a vivid preface of this great epic, of which love is the core spirit, to make the horrible journey of killing ghosts not so boring.

As for love, obviously the story of the younger has taken a large part of the whole movie, just like a dark version of " Romeo and Juliet", because of misunderstanding they won their love at first sight, and then the misunderstanding almost do them apart. In comparison with the lucky young lovers the relationship of the older couple seemed not so romantic, they baited various kinds of traps to kill the other from the start till the end, they hate, while they love, just like a paradox, the more you pay, the more you want to take back, that's the dark side of the humanity. The Buddhist's words may teach us how to remove it from our mind, to be a calm and poised person, " No want no more", from where we can also get the strength to face any challenge.

As the one of the magical fantasy movie, " The Seventh Son " maybe less deeper than " The Lord of the Rings", and more understandable than " The Hobbit", in spite of all those weakness "The Seventh Son" still has its own place before the festival movie season. After all, there is little possibility for people to refuse the power of good, to hate the sunshine of love, especially in this era of "losing myself".
