At the beginning of the film, it is mentioned that the little girl's mother calculates the time for her and plans her life, accurate to the minute and second, and lists a long life plan. She lives according to this plan every day. The little girl is very sensible, even if she feels Inappropriate and conscientious to complete the schedule.
Until the old man who flew the plane destroyed their house, until the paper plane that recorded the story of the little prince flew to the little girl's window, until the little girl secretly entered the old man's house through a hole in the wall.
The little prince is a different kind of person, living alone on his own planet, no matter how small. I can see the sunrise many times a day, and I can see it again when I turn around; I have a rose of my own, even though there are thousands of roses in the world; I know little foxes, snakes, kings, and merchants. But in fact, from beginning to end, the little prince is a person.
The film has several high-altitude views of city roads, the same checkered houses, the same checkered roads, the same cars are driving almost at the same time, and the little girl lives in such a block at the same time when the traffic lights are stopped; the film has many stars , bright, scattered, distant, the little prince lives on one of the stars.
The little prince fox said: "You are just a little boy to me, just like thousands of other little boys. I don't need you. You don't need me. To you, I too Just a fox, not different from thousands of other foxes. But if you tame me, we will need each other. To me, you are unique in my world; I come to you Say, it's the only one in your world." The
little girl's mother arranged for the little girl, if you complete the schedule, you can play with your friends every Thursday from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm.
In a garden, there are 5,000 roses exactly like her, but the little prince's rose is only one, because it is the little prince who spends a lot of time to create a rose that is unique to the little prince; there are many little foxes in the world, But it was a little fox tamed by the little prince, so it became the little prince's unique little fox.
The little girl's life is arranged not to need friends, because what she wants to accomplish is a task, not a search for uniqueness.
In reality, the little prince is very surprising, and he has become a completely useless person. 370 jobs have been fired from 371 jobs, and the last one is cleaning chimneys. Merchants spent a lot of money on 'useless' stars and turned them into 'essential' industrial electricity; the little girl's private 'handcraft' plane was almost transformed into 'essential' again Missing" paper clip.
Art is useless, industry is indispensable. Unique really sucks in an industrial society.
This theme is often seen in Western film and television literature, and in many news and other articles, people who are tired of working from 9 to 5 quit their jobs and live in isolation somewhere. The two values and two life modes represented by the little girl and the little prince have been discussed all the time. The discussion gradually entered some people's lives. But after all, our country is not so industrialized, and most people hardly live according to the schedule, so it is not very obvious. However, the lives of many otaku and otaku are very close to the little prince's one-person planet, and they have a unique creation that they spent a lot of time and painstakingly creating. But comparing the little prince's planet and the little girl's lattice house, which one is more individual, and which one is more repetitive, more emptiness, and more sense of decline, it is becoming more and more unclear. The little prince watches so many sunsets every day, facing a rose and a fox; although the little girl is completing the schedule every day, she has no friends, and she can't watch so many sunrises every day, but the content of the little girl's schedule, There is no repetition, and she really doesn't have time to watch so many sunrises every day. Industrialization does make people lack individuality, but it does not mean that he has experienced fewer things; being unique does make a difference, but it does not mean that he has experienced a lot of things. with roses. Is this a never-ending divide between pragmatism and utopianism? The little girl is busy for reality, and the little prince guards her soul, so the little prince will ask the businessman why you earn so much money, why do you buy so many stars, yes, how about enjoying life in your own life For the little prince who has a wonderful soul experience, it is useless, but for little girls and businessmen, busyness and planning are more important than the soul. But the little girl was still a little girl. She saw that the little prince couldn't help but yearn, explore, and pursue, while businessmen and adults really only indulged in numbers and plans.
However, art will never be useless, just as neon can never replace the brilliance of stars. And I always advocate nature and use a schedule appropriately. Life is not an endless sprint, but an accumulation of beautiful things. There are many little girls in the world who pursue existing things; there are also many little princes in the world who pursue the feeling of the soul; at the same time, in our hearts, there is also a little girl and a little prince. We need the conditions to live, to do useful things like a little girl; we live for a better experience, to water a rose of our own like a little prince.
