This is not the "Little Prince" in my heart

Some movies, when you can’t know whether it’s a good movie or a bad movie, you don’t dare to speak, but you don’t vomit, that’s what "The Little Prince" is like to me. Of a movie. Personally, "The Little Prince" is a movie with beautiful pictures, with music and pictures, very soft and light, and part of it makes people feel soft at all times. But after watching this movie, it makes people a little speechless.

As a newly added original plot, the little girl flies a plane across the clouds alone after the pilot is critically ill, and arrives in a strange city. She finds that the arrogant, the king, and the star obsessed in the story are all here. But the dream of "Big Fish" has come to fruition, and all fairy tale characters have a realistic shell: the king is an elevator driver, arrogant is also a policeman, and star obsessed is even more powerful, becoming a representative of exploitation in the history of civilization-businessman.

This part should be the core plot of the whole film, yes, as an adaptation of a small book, its birth is used to set it as [more exciting]. Of course it did. So this part is just another story in the movie besides the original book. First of all, it is beautiful. Because it wants to visualize the thoughts of Antoni de Saint-Exupéry, what is a planet? It's personal consciousness, and it's also a guise. What did the little prince ever encounter? It's a real life imaginary, the king who drives the elevator, and the arrogance of being a policeman. And all are poor creatures who are controlled by merchants and shackled by life. Of course, the little girl also met the protagonist in our story: Mr. Prince.

This part should be very exciting, just like the little plum in "The Confinement Island" thought he had discovered the "truth of the world" and struggling to escape. From the time the little girl desperately pedaled a tricycle, the rhythm became extremely cheerful, excited, and nervous. The movie is full of energy and tells us that the "little prince" will grow up, and the characters in fairy tales have prototypes. This is not a fairy tale, but it is just the most realistic story. Saint Exupéry just wraps it up. Put on the fairy tale shell, and then tell us: to grow up, and not to grow up.

However, it is wonderful, not wonderful. Although it is a Sino-French co-production (invested by Kemei Pictures), the production team is almost all Hollywood, and the story is also a Hollywood-style movie. Necessary to serve the story. Can't scold, can't scold. It's just that in our hearts, the little prince is still the little prince, no matter if the third, fourth, or fifth edition is taken, this is still a fairy tale.

Why do you say fairy tales are beautiful? Because what is carried out is the educational meaning rather than the preaching meaning. The color of fairy tales is always hazy, like putting on a veil, just like the childhood itself as pale as a star. This movie has a good picture, a stronger dubbing lineup, and a (Hollywood-style) adaptation that is reasonable. The biggest shortcoming is that the little prince himself has been forgotten. I used to read a book, not much text, fresh pictures, the taste is very clever, like sunshine and rain, like breeze and afterglow, calm and light, drinking like water of sorrow, taste like pure honey.

The 3D "Little Prince" just weakened the fairy tale veil at the end, and the adaptation was successful, but the reading experience of the original work was minimized. How old can a little girl know? It is the many adults who really understand the little prince, such as "Big Fish", "Western Journey", and "Polar Express". These are fairy tales for adults. The film is obviously positioned in consideration of adult groups, but everything is not It should be told by this little girl. "Only by looking at the world with your heart can you see it truly. If you want to create fetters, you have to bear the risk of tears." The lines are beautiful, and the intention to move the audience is very obvious, speechless and weird.

"Do you know the author of "The Little Prince"? He is a pilot who often flies over the desert. He once described that after flying through the deserted desert at night, he suddenly saw the lights of a city far away. This is moving. Because where there are lights, there must be humans, and where there are lights, there must be care..."

In "On a Long Journey", Hoshino Dofu described Antoni de Saint-Exupéry in this way. What they have in common is that they are the wanderers of life, the observers of life, not the creators. The author feels life with a delicate heart, and then speaks in a tone that doesn't seem so realistic, bringing a long flow of touch. However, the film speaks clearly, remembering for remembrance, moving for moving, reminiscing for remembrance, for beauty and beauty, imposing expressions, will only be farther away from the original simple thoughts.

    The original part is picturesque, and the new part is like dung. (But in fact, I am still relieved to see that the little prince is not dead. (The little prince looked at the box in the painting and said: This lamb is asleep - this part of tears

    The sadness that inevitably grows up and forgets is so touching that I cry. At the movie viewing site, many children came. I thought they would be noisy again, but they were unexpectedly quiet.
