Sweet dreams

I don't really want to give five stars. I have read the original and read it many times. I can understand that the plot was modified for the length of time, and my father recovered from amnesia due to war, but there are a few places that are too rigid. That doll is a very important clue in the original book. It accompanied Sarah through the simplest and most beautiful time, and accompanied her through the days and nights in the attic. Sarah touched her and fell her. It is a very important emotional sustenance. The attic is not that big...it's a small and crowded place. There is no floor-to-ceiling window. You have to step on a triangular stool to stick your head out of the small window. There are sparrows chirping outside the window. When the dreams come true, they are not so luxurious at the beginning, they are added little by little. Sarah also wrote a thank you letter for this. That black dress was worn by Sarah when she was very young, so it couldn't cover her legs and was torn again. The movie looks like black clothes worn because of the death of a loved one, losing the gap from "princess" to "beggar". The little girl who was sharing bread finally went to help in the bakery. The gentleman next door actually has a large group of children with him. It was the family Sarah envied when she was in trouble, and they later became friends.

The plot to restore the memory at the end of the movie is too abrupt, like a forced act that everyone writes a happy ending.

If you like it, I suggest you read the original.

I read the book about when I was in junior high school. I reviewed it several times in high school, and I still remember so much.

"I know I am not a princess, but I must always remind myself to be like a princess."

    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~

  • 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.

  • [Captain Crewe has just presented his young daughter with a doll named Emily]

    Capt. Crewe: Whenever you're afraid, or miss me terribly... just tell Emily. And she'll get the message to me, wherever I am. And I'll send one back right away... so that when you hug her... you'll really be getting a hug from me.

    Sara Crewe: ...It's alright, Papa. I'm going to be fine.
