The peculiarity of the movie "The Little Prince" is that it clearly adds such a complete new story line to the original book, but the cryptic sadness and yellowed picture book feeling in the movie can make everyone feel. I was watching "The Little Prince", and I even felt like it was when I turned the book for the first time.
The fairy tale "The Little Prince" is actually a story of avoiding war-it is the shame and fear of France's defeat in World War II that prompted Saint-Exupéry to write the most sad and moving one in 1942. fairy tale.
When Mark Osborne made it into a movie, he made "The Little Prince" into a fairy tale dedicated to all grown-ups. When we adults struggle to survive in the cruel adult world, "The Little Prince" becomes a childhood that everyone can't go back to. It touches us because we know that we can no longer be little princes.
When you go to the movies, don't be surprised why the children are calm, but the adults cry and become dogs, because the bright sadness in the movie is not for the children, but for the adults.
The weather is getting colder, this is really a good time to watch "The Little Prince".
Because the colder the world, the warmer "The Little Prince" appears.
When Mark Osbourne
heard that a Hollywood director was going to film "The Little Prince," I thought that the mood of all French people must be broken. Their worries are the same as those of Chinese audiences about adapting Journey to the West: destroying their childhood. ! What's more, filming a classic like "The Little Prince" is originally extremely unflattering, and is usually criticized as a dog.
The result was: all the audience was so moved by the movie that they cried like dogs. This should be the animated film that has received the most tears in the world this year.
At the end of the film screening at the Cannes International Film Festival, nearly two thousand viewers and the media stood up and applauded for a long time to pay tribute to the film’s creator. Applause for the film at Cannes has become the most classic symbol of the success of a film. You can buy anything, but you can't buy the applause from Cannes. The prolonged applause made the director Mark Osborne and others present could not help crying.
The story is actually very simple, even very old-fashioned, and it is definitely not a movie version of the original book, but the story of the little prince brought out by the friendship of an old and a young. When the movie started, the pilot in the original book was already old. One day, the little girl in the neighbor’s house received a paper airplane with a manuscript of the illustration of the little prince. The old man told the girl that he was in the Sahara when he was young. Have seen the story of the little prince. The fairy tale spreads out like a song board.
Many people regard the original story in a movie as an adaptation, and in my opinion, this is not so much an adaptation, as it is that the film director wrote a sequel to the original, and then filmed the original and the sequel together, so the original and the sequel A kind of intertextual relationship similar to the origin and demise is created in the middle, thus bringing the audience into the field of vision of the old pilot. At the moment of watching the movie, we are the old man who returns to the mediocre world, even if the last Strength, I also want to go back to the desert of the little prince, and take another look at the little prince.
When adapting this timeless fairy tale with French philosophies, Mark Osborne was smartest in that he took the book story as a play in the play, and expressed it with origami static animation, and restrained the American sensation to the greatest extent. It’s simple and rude, and at the same time it puts the visual style and narrative style of DreamWorks and Pixar into the story.
It is not difficult for us to see the classic Pixar animation style in this French animation-telling two stories in one movie: one for children and one for adults. The one for the child is clear at a glance, it is a story about the old and the young looking for the little prince. The one for adults is full of helplessness, sadness, and emotion. It is for adults who already understand more or less what is mediocrity and desperate life. In the story line of the little girl, the color is warm and the story is pleasing, full of dialogue and humor; while in the part of the little prince, the color is cold, the story is warm and sentimental, and the color is full of the feeling of the original picture book version, which is clearly a gift to adults. Our fairy tale.
From the perspective of film adaptation, Mark Osbourne has almost perfectly completed an almost impossible task, because the most difficult thing about shooting the little prince is never to finish telling this simple story, but to shoot the original so warm, bright and yet beautiful. Such a sad feeling, in this sense, as long as the movie can make half of the original feeling, it must be the most touching movie in the world.
"The Little Prince" did it.
The Little Prince
In the past 70 years, "The Little Prince" has been translated into more than 250 languages, and the portraits of Saint Exupéry and the Little Prince have even been printed on the 50-franc ticket. However, even today, 70 years later, many people still cannot understand: What is the story of the little prince? Why does a picture book story written in French in the fourth and fifth grades of elementary school hide so many philosophies?
A pilot crashed in the desert, but met a strange boy. He said that he originally lived on a distant planet, accompanied by a rose, and finally came to earth, tamed a fox, and reached a death agreement with a snake .
Such a simple story has caused people to argue today: Did the little prince die or return to his planet?
In the film, the director hired Pixar and the DreamWorks team to form a dream lineup. Using 3D, hand-painting, and freeze-frame techniques, the image of the little prince was shown in origami static animation and three-dimensional animation. As long as the little prince was shot in the film In the part, there will be a lot of paragraphs without dialogue, only pictures and Hansky’s soft soundtrack. This silent film-like method restores such a lifelike little prince to the audience, and also makes the dialogue part seem so boring.
When the stars were flying in the garbage dump, I think I finally understood why everyone loves the little prince: because he always lives in the world of children, he hates the world of adults, and kindness believes in everyone, even if you risk being The danger of a snake bite to death, and I am willing to believe in the beauty of the world. When the stars are released and the junkyard shines brightly, Hanskimer's soundtrack is warm and sad, just like a childhood.
Although I know that the director is sensational, I still can’t bear not to be impressed. People will grow up after all. Even though the years are so embarrassing: people who will grow up, dreams of being abandoned, everything will change, but The movie won't, the little prince won't.
The ending of the story is actually not important, because it essentially tells a story: no matter what kind of world, the little prince still remembers the rose, still not changed by the world, he will always remain the little prince The initial look.
We
each of us used to be a little prince, but in the end we all became adults. I think this is the fundamental reason why the novel touches the world. When the movie captures the emotions in the novel, it cannot but touch the world again.
From a teenager to a white head, in the ordinary and lonely reality and the eighteen bends of Zhongshan Road. Career is always on the way, lover is always getting old day by day. Whoever made the stock, whoever retired early and traveled around the world, and even the scenery of the wedding menu of the leader Huang in the news may become the reason for us to be depressed in reality. As for the dream of a teenager, it is just a drunken remembrance in the classmates. Who would think about it, and who would have time to think about it?
But the little prince will never forget.
As readers and viewers, we all know when we grow up that the moment the little prince sets foot on the earth, he will never go back, and even the little prince may really be dead. But in the story, from the stars to the desert, the little prince encounters all kinds of people, kings, drunkards, scholars, merchants, and poor lamplighters. They are ordinary people, just like us, they care more about money and interests than stars and flowers. . But the little prince refused to be changed by this world. He always believed that he could go home, always remember the rose, always believe in the fox, and always trust the agreement with the snake. Even after experiencing so many people and things on earth, the little prince is still, and Always the little prince.
Therefore, when the little prince walked alone from the desert in the film, his face did not see the sadness that the dream could not be realized, even though he was tired, he was still full of hope. He walked into the earth cage that imprisoned him and greeted him with a destiny that would never go back. But he never accepted this fate-at that moment, we couldn't help but be moved.
"The Little Prince" is based on our childlike innocence, and finally hits the countless mediocre years after the adults' childhood. When I thought I had caught something after watching the film, there were some things that would not be there anymore when I walked out of the cinema. But at that moment, it really moved us.
This is the magic of "The Little Prince". We walked into the cinema, originally just wanting to forget the reality for a while, sorry, "The Little Prince" is not responsible for this-it is not responsible for making us forget the reality, but it helps us to warm the reality.
The
most embarrassing thing about Saint-Exupéry is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. I'm afraid not many Chinese people are interested in the original author of "The Little Prince".
But if you don't understand him, you won't be able to read "The Little Prince", and you can't really understand "The Little Prince".
Many people are still speculating about the relationship between "A Dream of Red Mansions" and Cao Xueqin. It is not so complicated here in Saint-Exupéry. He is using "The Little Prince" to write his own story.
The rose in the story is St. Exupéry’s wife, Consulo Sanxing, a wild South American American. St. Exupéry met her in Argentina when he was 30 years old. In order to please her, he must prove She is more talented than her lost ex-husband, journalist and adventurer Goldman Galileo, so she often locks herself in her room and writes for days and nights to please the beauties. As the little prince said: "If a person falls in love with a unique flower among the vast stars, then this person will feel extremely happy when he looks up at the stars in the sky." But on the day they got married in 1931, the bride wore a black mourning gown at the wedding.
The fox told the little prince: "Because you spend too much time on Rose, it seems that Rose is very important. Men often forget this truth. After conquering, you have to spend a lifetime responsible. You are responsible for Rose." sentence I am afraid that every man who has experienced a broken relationship has had the sadness behind it, but in this world, only Saint Exupéry wrote it.
The little domesticated fox in the desert may be his lover Silvia Reinhardt in New York. The story of the desert may come from the scenery he saw when he piloted the airplane to open the route between Africa and Latin America.
The desert and stars in the story may come from the night sky of Ubi Island in Morocco-Saint Exupéry once lived alone in a small wooden house in an abandoned fortress, where it is half sea water and half desert, maybe it is In this "loneliest place in the world," Saint Exupéry imagined a little prince and wrote it out.
The story of the little prince and the story of Saint Exupéry are indistinguishable from each other, as if Saint Exupéry’s life experience is preparing for "The Little Prince", when Saint Exupéry writes all of his life After entering the story, his mission in life seems to be completed, and he can rest assured to do what he wants to do.
In history, at 8:45 am on July 31, 1944, on that beautiful summer day, Saint Exupéry set off from Bastia, north of Corsica, to Lyon in a P38 reconnaissance plane. East. But he never returned.
In the movie, the little girl finally drives the plane to find the little prince, the stars are shining in the distance, as if waiting for the next adventure.
In reality, we always have to walk out of the movie theater, and after a lot of likes from our circle of friends, we will continue to "be boring adults", and we will be long with reality.
None of us can be the little prince, so we love "The Little Prince" deeply.
