Puffs without filling

This film is like a puff with a soft and gorgeous appearance, but no cream filling.

Let me talk about a few points where this film failed to show the original work well:

1. Beautiful costumes.

2. Even if she is lost, Sara still loves to learn and often reads and learns outside of heavy work.

3. Sara's graceful demeanor from the end, princess demeanor.

4. Fans of this book’s favorite dream come true fragment, only hastily described in the film, and taken in one stroke.

5. Even in very difficult circumstances, treat beggars and other people's many good deeds.

The one and a half-minute film can't fully show the original work and understand it, but the points and aspects that are skipped in the film, as well as the processing at the end, make the film really far from the core of the original work.

At the end of the story, Sarah sent the monkey back to the next door because of her kindness, so she recognized her father's friend and finally escaped from hell. However, the film was changed abruptly so that Sara entered the next door in order to avoid being chased, and recognizes her father who has amnesia but is still alive.

I often burst into tears because of a certain scene in the film, but for this happy ending, I can only squeeze out two tears. Not even close. There is no Princess Sarah, only Sarah, a pitiful little girl looking for her father.

The rich-poor transition at the end is like a low-level cool film. Sarah's thoughts about the rich and the poor, and the feelings about life, all have nothing to do with it.

The kind, elegant, generous, gentle, firm, and plentiful princess Sara I saw from the story, I can’t see it here, or it’s not enough, it’s not enough.

Not enough, Sarah in this film will always be Captain Crewe's little princess, but Sarah in the story teaches us that every girl is a princess. Whether beautiful or ugly, whether poor or rich, whether young or old, it is all.

    It seems that my grandmother told me the story of recognizing my father in twists and turns when I was a child~

    Another good-looking children's film... It's really impossible to see good-looking children's films when I grow up. Who told me that there were few good-looking children's films in China when I was a child?

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.
