When little Finn rescued the stunted piglet from his father, I thought it was a friendship story between a little human girl and a girl and a piggy. However, after seeing it, I realized that this is not only the friendship between humans and animals, but also the friendship between animals. An ordinary barn, inhabited by cows, geese, sheep, horses, and mice, the relationship that was originally bland, became closely connected because of this magical little pig.
Charlotte is arguably the most moving character in the movie. An ugly spider who had been crowded out by other animals took the initiative to make friends with little Wilbur; when little Wilbur knew that he would face the fate of being eaten, she made a very firm promise. No matter how frail she was with the baby, she used her strength to draw attention to the little pig again and again, and in the final competition, little Wilbur won a medal. And she herself was about to die weakly after laying eggs.
As Charlotte said, "We born, we grow. And time's up, we will die." Little Wilbur used his own power to take Charlotte's children back to the barn, and it was a new life reincarnation.
I know that animals can't speak, but the story still moves me so much. I also burst into tears as I watched Charlotte finally look away at little Wilbur closing his eyes. Yes, all miracles are because of friendship, because of promises.
A some, terrific, radiant and humble pig, and a beautiful, smart, kind and loyal spider!
