Life is the plank

I don't remember when I watched it, but I just remember sitting in front of the TV with my mother in a quiet 930 in the middle of the night.
A strong little girl, facing the good and evil of human nature and society alone. The almost exaggerated experience in the storyline feels unreal. However, the most real scene came quietly and silently: it was the piece of wood on the two attics in the dark night with heavy rain and thunder. Isn't life like that plank? There is no way to the sky, no way to the ground, no way to turn around, no way to start over, no way to retreat, no way to give up. People close to you can't help you, and people who are capable can't help you. All they can do is silently watch, pray, and encourage. The plank can only go by itself, slowly and bit by bit, moving past the abyss. No matter whether you are a princess, a servant, a noble or a pariah, the other side is heaven only if you step over this board by yourself. Of course, you can give up, you don't have to face this board, but all the pain and torture on this shore is the price paid for cowardice.
If God is merciful, Buddha is merciful, and all beings are equal, then everyone will have the opportunity to face that plank (instead of having a pair of wings). Stop complaining about the injustice of life, and think about when you gave up the painful choice of "going over, even if you face death."

    No wonder Warners would ask Cuaron to shoot Harry Potter again. This film is simply a perfect practice work. Lubezki's control of light and shadow was already quite amazing at that time. The actress herself is really rich second generation, from the Hyatt hotel family

    When I was young, I watched the fairy tales of "The Little Princess", and the most unforgettable thing was the unexpected death of Captain Kuer. Unexpectedly, the movie version really "tampered" the ending, turning the person who adopted Sara into Sara's father. The moment my father recovered his memory in the heavy rain and yelled "Sarah", all my regrets about the original work were perfectly relieved~

A Little Princess quotes

  • Sara Crewe: Don't cry, Becky.

    Becky: I'm scared. If Minchin throws me out, I got no place to go.

    Sara Crewe: That's not true. I'm here with you. I've always thought of us as sisters.

    Becky: You have?

    Sara Crewe: Let's make a promise right now: to always look out for each other.

    Becky: It's a promise.

    [they embrace]

  • [the girls have awoken to find the attic beautifully redecorated and a breakfast of sausages, muffins, and fruit awaiting them]

    Sara Crewe: Look! Just what we ordered!

    Becky: I'm a little scared about all of this.

    Sara Crewe: Me, too. Do you think we shouldn't eat it?

    Becky: I'm not that scared!
