"Heidi and Grandpa" is adapted from the novel "Heidi" by the Swiss children's writer Johanna Spiegel, telling the story of the growth of a girl Heidi. "Heidi" was first published in 1881. In the past century or so, it has been brought to the screen several times by European and American countries.
Heidi, who lost her parents, was sent by her aunt to live with her grandfather. Grandpa was a stubborn and eccentric old man who lived high in the Alps. Here, the innocent and lovely Heidi used a sunny smile to ease her grandfather's sadness after losing her son. Heidi also became good friends with Pitt, a shepherd boy. They ran sheep and played in the pasture together, enjoying a beautiful childhood.
Later, Heidi was brought to Frankfurt by her aunt and became the playmate of Clara, a wealthy lady with paralyzed legs, who accompanied Clara to play and study. Less than a year later, Heidi fell ill because she missed her grandfather and was sent back to her grandfather's house. Afterwards, Clara missed Heidi and came to Alpine Ranch to live with Heidi. With Heidi's company and care, Clara got back on her feet.
The plot of the story is extremely simple, but it is heart-warming and beautiful like a dream. If you use two words to describe it, it is "healing"!
This healing comes from the beautiful scenery on the Alps, Heidi's sunny and innocent smile, and the love between people.
The beautiful natural scenery is the gift of nature
The place where Grandpa Heidi lives in the film is located in a small town in southeastern Switzerland, where there is a living and beautiful landscape painting, the scenery is breathtaking.
In summer, the pastures are covered in the mountains, the wildflowers are in full bloom, and the lakes in the mountains are as pure and clear as a pearl. The green grass, blue sky, and white clouds are so vibrant, making people feel that the whole world and all living beings are transparent, clean and flawless.
Heidi and Pete ran barefoot in the mountains. In the summer wind, Heidi's bell-like laughter spread throughout the valley. In winter, snow will cover the earth, and under the bright sun, the world will be crystal clear. The mountains, lakes, summer, winter snow, sunshine and clouds are like heaven, which are gifts from nature to human beings. Man and nature are in harmony and beauty.
But what is worrying is that with the inexhaustible demands of human beings from nature, such beauty has become less and less. The invasion of the earth by industrialization, the unlimited influx and destruction of tourists... Various reasons have devastated the earth.
Writer Li Juan is well-known for writing a series of books on Xinjiang's humanities. She depicts the beauty of Xinjiang with unpolished words. I have lived in Xinjiang for a few years, and I have also entered the grassy pastures on a bright summer day. The fresh and refined beauty is completely comparable to the scenery in this film.
However, over the years, many grasslands in Xinjiang have been seriously degraded due to various reasons. Overgrazing, indiscriminate digging of herbs, mineral mining, rodent and insect pests, and tourism have all caused serious damage to the grassland ecology.
I remember that some netizens once said that they really wanted to visit those ranches written by Li Juan. Li Juan said on Weibo that she did not support this kind of behavior, and suggested that everyone can feel the beauty of Xinjiang by reading.
Indeed, the grassland needs to be restored, and nature needs to recuperate before it can give humans better shelter. So for nature, we really have to do everything we can to protect it. Fortunately, even if you don't have the opportunity to experience it yourself, you have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of natural scenery around the world through movies and movies!
Heidi's innocent and flawless smile is more beautiful than the scenery
In the film, what is more beautiful than the Alpine scenery is Heidi's innocent smile. Heidi's brightness and sunshine infect everyone.
At first, grandpa did not welcome the little girl. But soon Heidi's lively and cheerful, love to talk and laugh melted Grandpa's heart. Grandpa is also happy that he has an angel.
Heidi is a kind child. Heidi doesn't care that Pete steals Heidi's ham and cheese. Seeing Pete teach the fighting goats, Heidi stopped Pete and offered to give Pete half of the ham and cheese every day, so that Pete would promise not to chase and beat the goats in the future. When she learned that Pete's grandmother was blind, she said to her grandpa, "We're the lucky ones, aren't we?" Pete's grandmother had no teeth and couldn't eat hard bread, and Heidi secretly stole it every day when she was at Clara's house. Hiding fluffy buns for Pete's grandma. It really makes the audience feel distressed and heartwarming!
Heidi is a girl who loves nature and longs for freedom. In Clara's house, although they are dressed in fine clothes and food, they can't see their grandfather, they can't see the mountains, and they can't go to the mountains with Pete to herd sheep. She didn't like being locked in a house. She missed the days when she ran freely in the mountains and laughed without restraint. Heidi felt very depressed.
The little girl is also very smart and motivated. Inspired by Clara's grandmother, Heidi began to study hard, learning to read, read, and write letters. After returning to the countryside, when other children wanted to be shepherds and blacksmiths, Heidi had a different idea. She wanted to write stories. Because under the guidance of her grandmother, Heidi has seen a wider world, and her world is getting bigger and bigger.
The love between people is the most heartwarming
In fact, apart from the beautiful scenery and Heidi's smile, the most healing thing in the film is the love between people. Therefore, this film has a warmth that can warm people's hearts from beginning to end.
There are no real villains or villains in the film, Heidi's aunt is just a little selfish, the Clara housekeeper is just arrogant, and Pete is just a little sly kid from jealousy.
Everyone was moved by Heidi's kindness and innocence, and everyone was taking care of her growing up. Especially two wise old men, Heidi's grandfather and Clara's grandma.
Grandpa told Heidi not to believe what others say, but to see with your own eyes and listen with your ears. Grandpa let Heidi know that the world in front of her is beautiful.
Clara's grandmother guides Heidi to explore the unknown world. While other children wanted to be shepherds, farmers, and blacksmiths, Heidi wanted to write stories. It was unheard of for the other children, who had never stepped out of the valley and had never seen the wide world beyond the valley, so the children laughed at Heidi. And grandma told Heidi that you don't have to believe what others say and do what makes you happy. Grandma's words are like a beacon of wisdom, illuminating Heidi's heart and inspiring Heidi.
I believe that grandma's inspiration will accompany Heidi throughout her life.
In fact, ideals are not high or low. Every child is the purest angel. What they really desire in their hearts is their own destiny. Heidi is a happy and brave child who grew up in love and being loved, and pursued her destiny.
I hope that each of us can be like Heidi, have a bright smile, and pursue our ideal life.
