classic narrative cycle

When I first turned on the CCTV music channel, what I saw was a chubby, small, yellow curly-haired, energetic and healthy little girl, sitting on the train with her aunt DITI to the city .
At the other end, Clara, an aristocratic girl, was sitting at the dining table, frowning under the supervision of the strict and demanding housekeeper, looking forward to the arrival of her new partner. She looked very unhealthy. After her mother died, the duke's father was not around, and the widowed housekeeper hoped that the status quo would last forever.
Heidi and Clara met for the first time. The lively and sincere Heidi really aroused the disgust of the harsh maid, but Clara, as the audience expected, fell in love with this rustic who was a few years younger than her. girl.
Such a state of non-interference seems to be broken, but Heidi is unwilling to stay. She wants to go back to her grandfather. However, the kind-hearted she stayed one night at Clara's request, and everything returned to calm. .
Here, the foreshadowing of the dramatic conflict is ready.

Heidi really likes Clara very much. Everything about her is what Clara yearns for in the monotonous life of loneliness, illness, lack of maternal love, and the control of a widow. But the audience knows that the country girl Heidi will not stay in the city. There are two possibilities: first, she was murdered by the ill-intentioned housekeeper; second, she was retrieved by her grandfather.
Which one is it? The camera moved from the noble family to the outside, and in the snowy night, "Grandpa" finally came up. Of course, the director would not let my dear grandpa find her good granddaughter all at once. When passing by at the theater, Heidi and grandpa heard each other's voices, but the carriage carrying Heidi finally did not let grandpa catch up.
Here, it's time to show the character of grandpa. In order to find Heidi, he is desperate. The brute force of the village unsurprisingly caused him to violate the law in the city and be caught by the police in jail.

Heidi seemed to be staying at Clara's house, but the director didn't keep the audience waiting too long, another clue surfaced, and the jealous housekeeper finally took action, she was going to sell Heidi. Audiences can't help but worry about Heidi's fate, which is far more serious than staying at Clara's house (she could very well be sold as a slave and become the "Wanka" or whatever other miserable child we read in textbooks when we were kids) Role). In the TV series, the worst moment is also the moment of being rescued. Grandpa heard Heidi's cry for help, smashed the window, and finally rescued Heidi. Our Xiulan Temple was finally able to lean on Grandpa's shoulder again. up.

It's not over yet, the sinister and cunning housekeeper told the police that grandpa was a trafficker, grandpa took Heidi, stopped the carriage and ran wild, the police commandeered the gentleman's car and pulled out a gun. When the plot developed to this point, I was really scared. After the gunshot, the old movie will show the grandfather covering his chest and getting shot.
Fortunately, they were just taken back to the police station. Seeing that the grandfather was about to be exposed again, and the widow's conspiracy was about to succeed again, if Heidi was a little stupid, she would be considered a neurotic child and should take medicine, giving people a show of hope. Ran Temple, like countless women in history who have spoken up for their fathers and families in court, explained it all (and thanks to the police officers for being so discerning).

Grandpa took Heidi back to their hut, and Clara, led by the duke, also came to the mountains, and smelled the fragrance of wild fragrance, the vitality of nature.

The film seems to mark the "end" in such a peaceful atmosphere. When I turned on the TV again in the afternoon, still in the mountains, the story seemed to have a new chapter. A priest appeared in the picture, persuading grandpa to let Heidi go to school, but grandfather irritably refused. I think this must be about the scene after Heidi returned to her grandfather.
At this point, Grandpa's character has not been fully demonstrated, because in the first half, Grandpa was the opposite of the housekeeper to protect Heidi. However, just looking at his rudeness is still worrying. In this kind of relationship, will Heidi be regarded as his property, and possessed to make it disappear? Fortunately, Grandpa didn't disappoint the audience. After thinking about it, the bearded gentleman - who must have suffered a lot when he was young - still sent Heidi to the public to obtain reconciliation with God.
At this point in the story, the balance is once again established in the negation of negation.
A good narrative is not a single one. Aunt DITI is here again, and while her grandfather is away, she has come to deceive Heidi again. From Heidi's expression, she can see that she has already sensed that her aunt has evil intentions. Auntie took Heidi to town again, and I thought the story was going back to Clara again.
However, the repeated language, the repeated morbid Clara, the still airy housekeeper, the cumbersome and identical time on the wall, "I'm really looking forward to my new partner." I get it, this is a replay.

When I was watching the movie, I didn't know who the protagonist was, but with her lively air and curly hair, I was reminded of Shirley Temple step by step. She is said to have given the depressed people infinite hope. The narrative of the story is also the same. It is a classic story, but it does not appear monotonous. Even if the vision does not extend from the scope of the countryside or the city to the outer streets, the change of the current situation is simply the kind of human nature, which is already an endlessly changing narrative. .

    My favorite book when I was a child, I have read it dozens of times, the plot of the movie is really bullshit...

    When I get older, I focus on the injustice between the rich and the poor. It seems that all the spiritual things in the world should automatically be offered to solve the troubles of special classes. The separation of flesh and blood from a poor family is only for the sake of an escort for a rich lady, and the loyalty of poor children has been betrayed again and again. The reunion of flesh and blood is clearly a fantasy, and everything depends on the reasonableness of the superior. In old Hollywood films, there are often such gentle, polite, upright, noble and rich characters. In fact, they are just Huang Shiren and Zhou Papi from another perspective after whitewashing, and they are a placebo for the poor.

Heidi quotes

  • Fräulein Rottenmeier: [reading] "The quality of a young lady's breeding is indicated by her deportment when elders are present. At such times, her manner should be sedate and diffident."

    Klara Sesemann: It's time for them to be here, Fräulein!

    Fräulein Rottenmeier: Remember, Klara, no excitement. You're still an invalid. "The habit of interruption should always be frowned upon. The well-bred young lady always waits until her elders are silent."

    Klara Sesemann: I wonder what she'll be like.

    Fräulein Rottenmeier: Your father expects a healthy, unspoiled mountain child of your age to share your studies. Personally, I think the whole plan is a mistake.

    Klara Sesemann: Papa thought it might be good for me to have a playmate.

    Fräulein Rottenmeier: But you have me. Don't I give you my entire time and devotion?

    Klara Sesemann: Yes, and it's very kind of you, but I don't have much fun.

  • Fräulein Rottenmeier: That's enough! You will take that impossible child back!

    Dete: You'll have to give me more expense money then, and the fifty marks Herr Sesemann promised.

    Fräulein Rottenmeier: You dare to speak to me like that? I'll not give you one pfennig.

    Dete: You'd better. I've brought just the kind of child Herr Sesemann asked for. Unless you have your own reasons for not wanting her.

    Fräulein Rottenmeier: Get out! And take your wretched niece with you!

    Dete: All right, but you'll give me the money, or I'll write to Herr Sesemann. You think I don't know what your little game is? A rich widower and his sick child. You don't want Klara to get well, not yet, not until you've made him think his little darling can't live without you. Now you can get rid of the impossible child yourself! Sell her to the gypsies for all I care!
