This is a children's movie full of innocence and romance. Sarah is an Indian princess who is held in the palm of the hand of a handsome and wealthy officer father. Due to the war, his father sent her to a private girls' school in the United States for her safety. to the battlefield.
This school looks like a green brick castle with a group of little girls in green skirts inside. The lively and enthusiastic Sarah seems a little out of place here. The school administrator, Miss Mitches, is old-fashioned and snobby. She "rules" the students as a dictator. She even forbids the children to imagine and obliterates the nature of children, which shows her pedantic nature. and ruthless. Although she was very dissatisfied with Sarah's undisciplined behavior, she managed to suppress her anger well against the background of Sarah's father. When she heard the news of Sarah's father's death in battle, Miss Miches immediately drove Sarah to the dilapidated small attic, and fiercely threatened her as a maid to repay her debts. At this moment, Sarah's vitality was drained all of a sudden, and her former imagination also disappeared, and she dared not say that she was a princess. It was raining outside the window and the floor of the attic was soaking wet. Little Sarah drew a circle on the wet ground and lay in the circle, crying helplessly holding the doll left by her father.
One evening in the middle of winter with a heavy snowfall, Sarah sat on the snow-stacked stairs and bought a piece of bread with the money given by the kind boy who passed by. When she was about to eat, she saw a family selling flowers in the crowd, and the vicissitudes of life was hugging the lady in her arms. With a small baby, two little girls stood helplessly in the crowd. The taller, ten-year-old older sister carried a flower basket full of yellow roses, raised her dirty little face and prayed to passersby who were in a hurry to buy a bunch of flowers, but unfortunately no one stopped for the family.
Out of kindness, Sarah gave the rare bread to her sister, and when she was about to leave, the little girl gave it to her at the suggestion of her mother, and gave her a delicate yellow rose. She looked at the family in astonishment, but did not expect that the mother would nod to her when saying goodbye, and softly called her "Princess".
On this biting and desolate winter night, this blooming yellow rose, like a dim yellow lamp, trembled and illuminated little Sarah's heart.
Only then did she realize the different meanings of a princess. It is not the girl who wears fancy clothes and has a wealthy life to be called a princess. As long as she always has a noble heart, every ordinary girl can become a shining princess. The woman's affirmation awakened her courage, so that, under Miss Mitches' cynicism, she could say out loud: "I am a princess, and every girl is a princess. Even if they live in cramped lofts, even if they Ragged, even if they're not pretty, they're not smart, they're not young anymore. They're still princesses, and we're all..."
Obviously, Miss Mitches is a representative of realistic egoism, and she disdains Sarah's imagination and fantasies and mocks her vigorously. Although her pragmatism is very in line with the survival criteria of modern society, even in the gutter, there are still people looking up at the stars. To use an old saying: life is not only about the present, but also poetry and distance.
Sarah was in rags, from a noble daughter to a maid living in a humble attic, but she never gave up her inner nobility. And has always maintained a childlike innocence and curiosity about the world. With her rich imagination and enthusiastic character, she tells the thrilling and interesting fairy tales for the people around her, illuminating the darkness of life, not only gaining sincere friendship, but also strengthening her heart.
It is true that imagination can distance us from the suffering of reality, and to a certain extent realize the freedom of the mind and make people feel the existence of hope. Therefore, in the reality that is too cold, a certain limit of optimistic fantasy is very important. Necessary.
