May the children in the world not understand this fairy tale

The original book of "The Little Prince" is a book that contains several kinds of images. The story is actually very, very weak. Coupled with the rich fairy tale and fable color and stream-of-consciousness-like self-reported writing, a thousand people can see Seeing a thousand versions, if the movie wants to express itself exactly as it is, it is absolutely impossible to be a masterpiece. The illogical and absurd story in the original book will definitely be scolded by thousands of people, so I just saw it. When I was promoting the movie, I thought about how to say this story for a long time. After reading the synopsis, I found that the director had skillfully turned the story of the little prince into a real story. I have to say that this was a very smart choice. The story of the novel can fill some gaps in the original narrative - the white space in the novel is so perfect, but it is not necessarily a good thing to put in the movie.
And after watching the movie, I found out that in fact, the director only selected the image of "don't want to grow up" for creation, and the part about love has been weakened. . . I know that many people's fascination with the story of "The Little Prince" is actually more concentrated in the emotional imagery between the little prince and the rose, the little prince and the fox. The rose naturally represents the first love, and represents the time when the love is not yet known. The naive and pretentious ex I met, and the fox represents the mature and rational love I met after learning to love, but this movie is not going to discuss who is the real love of the little prince at all, it simplifies the love of the little prince, only Wanted to discuss that story about not wanting to grow up, and that was the story Saint-Exupéry really wanted to tell.
So for someone like me, who is in a serious bottleneck in his work, where reality and ideals are increasingly in conflict, and who are stubbornly fighting against this adult world and do not want to grow up, watching this movie is really a blow. Every plan made by Wang's daughter Chengfeng's mother for her daughter's life plan is so depressing and unacceptable, and the little girl's obedience and resistance in ignorance are so familiar and moving. The focus of the whole movie is not at all on the story between the little girl and the old grandpa, nor is it limited to the story in the original book, but the story that happens after the little girl finds the little prince again - the little prince in the original book travels in a series of stories. Afterwards, he returned to his planet alone with full of regret and longing. What about the little prince in the movie? Probably no one would have thought that the little prince did not return to the b612 asteroid, but was exiled to another planet and forced to grow into an empty and powerless Mr Prince - this is a hammer in the chest!
Some people think that this film is not well made, and they say it bluntly - it is because you didn't watch it carefully, "a lot of important things are invisible to the naked eye", the director grasped the essence of this sentence very carefully , also subtly embedded every classic line in the little prince into the movie, even including the background broadcast about the discovery of new asteroids heard in the car, it does not need to perfectly restore every plot of the original (Of course, in fact, it also perfectly restored the illustrations in the original book in the form of origami animation, so the story of the little prince interspersed with it is as incompatible as turning over the original book), because the whole movie has firmly grasped the essence of the original book , every picture and every line of dialogue is the same as the original, not everything is written on the table, not everything appears in the picture, but it quietly hits your heart in a subtle way, Time and time again, it reminds you of the passing away of childlike innocence.
When my grandfather was sent to the hospital for rescue, I cried so hard in the darkness of the movie theater that my grandfather's critical illness meant death, separation, and the separation of the little girl from childhood. This image is for most people. It should not be unfamiliar, not necessarily to relatives, not necessarily to friends, not necessarily to lovers - and this is exactly the kind of unclear, uncertain, but deja vu in the original book of "The Little Prince" Similar feeling - so the little girl's emotional outbursts are so familiar and unfamiliar, she rushes into the crowd in a hurry, she glances back at her mother's fury, she chases the ambulance, rushes into the hospital, and screams "" I don't want you to leave me, you are so important to me!" - maybe because I remembered the crying time I once sat in class, or maybe because of other reasons I can't remember - all the loneliness I can name. Not really alone, so I don't say it.
Although the film harmoniously filmed a happy and warm ending, using Disney-style and Disney's latest "female man to save the world" method to save the little prince who had become an adult, it became more and more obvious. an irony. The stars are flying in the sky, are you moved? Want to cry? At this moment, I was holding back tears and couldn't cry anymore-because it was too absurd, too unrealistic, too impossible.
But in the end, the theme song "I used to be like you" at the end of the film made me cry again. The little girl came to grandpa's hospital bed, and grandpa said that you will definitely grow into an excellent adult - what is this? ? Perfect ending? But is it possible? If the little girl maintains such naivety, she will only encounter more setbacks in society, so is Grandpa's words a blessing or helplessness? The warmer the picture, the more sad it is. In the process of growing up, we have paid too much, lost too much, and forgotten too much. . . We write one plan after another, we say things against our hearts, we live an ideal life step by step, and we even try to deceive ourselves. . . I don't want to grow up, but so what? Can you go back? Can grandpa live forever? Can you release those beautiful stars one after another? All we can do is look up at the sky and imagine that the little prince is still smiling up there, as if all the stars were smiling. . . Is this deception or growth?
"The real problem is not growing up, but forgetting", so if you still want to cry after watching this movie, you should be glad that the childlike innocence in your heart has not completely disappeared~
May all children in the world watch it I don't understand this fairy tale

I watched it because I wanted to go to the cinema temporarily. It is the Mandarin version, Huang Duoduo's dubbing can be said to be perfect, because when I watched Dad 2, I felt that Duoduo girl was an overly mature little adult, and this sensible little girl couldn't be more suitable. My mother Yuan Quan's dubbing was quite satisfactory. , but Rose's dubbing is a complete failure. Although Xun Ge'er's acting skills are very good, is her voice really suitable for that delicate rose? not at all. As for the dubbing of the little prince, it was completely ruined. Yi Yang Qianxi's voice, which had already begun to mature, and the seriousness of trying to read the lines word by word, had the feeling of traveling back to "Little Times 1" (in other words, "Little Times 1") This kind of garbage can actually leave an indelible mark on us!!! It can be memorable for thousands of years), I couldn't help but think of Chen Xuedong's last feature and monologue in "Little Times 1" at that time, especially Destroy emotions. . . . . .

The origami animation about the original book is really good enough and perfect. After all, it has the two-dimensional illustration Zhuyu in the original book in front of it, and it has become a fixed impression of the fan base. Now it is a 3D movie. Using paper film to display is the only and best choice

    Ugly people. Preaching. The content is bland and blunt. The dubbing, especially the dubbing of the little prince, is terrible. Can't compare to the original.
