The nobility of the princess is not in the status, but in the quality

When I watched this movie, I didn't know the plot behind it, and I didn't know the original book. At the beginning, I thought it was called the little princess because the little heroine's family was rich and her status was noble. I didn't know what the film was trying to say until I watched it.

Since the little princess in the movie learned the bad news of her father's "sacrifice" in the battlefield, all her preferential treatment has disappeared, she has no guardian by her side, and the person entrusted to take care of her is so snobbish, she has lived a prosperous life since she was a child, and she has experienced a fault-like decline. Treatment, but she did not fall down, did not give up the concept she insisted on, she was still a little princess.

In the film, every girl is said to be a princess. It does not mean that the girl is so noble, nor does it give the girl a reason not to numb herself, but to tell the girls that every girl with kindness and beauty is a little princess.

    Every girl is a little princess

    Children's movies, the story is of course "as long as you have hope, it will always work" and "always believe in your inner strength", combined with the colonial background and a little exotic mysterious magic factor (but the Indian prince in the story looks like It is Avatar, and the skill is Sun Wukong. There are too many elements). The plot line is simple but tortuous. The little princess suddenly lost her father, and her treatment in the girls' school also plummeted. Suddenly, across the road, she unexpectedly met her father who returned from the battlefield but completely lost his memory. The tension of the plot was directly full. The character setting is more complicated than a fairy tale with a clear distinction between good and evil. Even the villain's evil principal will hide behind the door and feel sad when confronted by the little princess' questioning (compared to her, the role of the villain in the child is endless). In the heavy rain, when the little princess was about to be pulled away (the three or four police officers who arrested a little girl were probably just to increase the tension), the father suddenly regained his memory and called out his daughter's name. It was a happy ending like a fairy tale. The set is gorgeous and beautiful, the photography is exquisite, and the color palette is close to the colorful cartoon (but the scene in the fairy tale is too heavy in the studio).

A Little Princess quotes

  • Miss Minchin: [after ordering the girls out and punishing Becky, to Sara] And you will perform all her chores in addition to your own without breakfast, lunch, OR dinner! It's time you learn, Sara Crewe, that real life has nothing to do with your little fantasy games. It's a cruel, nasty world out there, and it's our duty to make the best of it - not to indulge in ridiculous *dreams*, but to be productive and useful! Do you understand what I'm saying?

    Sara Crewe: [short pause] Yes, ma'am.

    Miss Minchin: [short pause] Good.

    [she leaves]

    Sara Crewe: But I don't believe in it.

    [Miss Minchin stops, turns back to Sara, and goes awestruck]

    Miss Minchin: Don't tell me you still fancy yourself a princess!

    [laughs]

    Miss Minchin: Good God, child, look around you! Or better yet, look in the mirror!

    [after a long pause]

    Sara Crewe: [confidently] I am a princess.

    Miss Minchin: [in disbelief] Oh!

    Sara Crewe: All girls are! Even if they live in tiny old attics, even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young, they're still princesses - all of us! Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he?

    Miss Minchin: [furiously, in tears] If I find you up here with any of the girls again, I WILL THROW YOU OUT INTO THE STREET!

  • Sara Crewe: Papa? Maya told me that all girls are princesses.

    Capt. Crewe: Maya... is a very wise woman.

    Sara Crewe: Then it's true?

    Capt. Crewe: You can be anything you want to be, my love, as long as you believe.

    Sara Crewe: What do you believe?

    Capt. Crewe: I believe that you are... and always will be... my little princess.
