Get off the bench, let's see more sunsets

"It's really something I can't even think about to see the movie version of the little prince in my lifetime." Probably apart from expecting what I wrote to be made into a movie, the little prince is the text I most look forward to making into a movie. What are you looking forward to? Looking forward to even thinking about it.


The first time I read about the little prince was probably in 2000, in a magazine "Little Reader", serialized. The storyline begins with the little prince saying that there is a rose on his planet that is unique in the world. The story came to an abrupt end, because it was an expired magazine, I couldn't even find the next issue, I didn't know how to find it in bookstores, and I didn't have the Internet. Much like the scene in the movie when the little girl reads the first page of the little prince. After watching it repeatedly, I was deeply attracted by it, and I thought about the picture in my mind, but it was not enjoyable but not boring. And it started as a boring snake eating an elephant and looking like a hat.
It wasn't until a few years later that I accidentally discovered the complete little prince in a bookstore. It was like a lover who had been separated for many years. When we parted, I didn't know if they would meet again. All encounters have weight.

I still have that book, my first little prince.
Since then, everything has changed out of control. Anyone who sees the little prince will definitely buy it. Various languages, various publishing houses, various translations, various backgrounds, and various meanings of the little prince will be bought by me. I have read it no less than one hundred and eighty times. Memorizing most of the original text is not difficult for me at all. If you don’t like reading Chinese, you read English. If you are familiar with English, you read Spanish. Some translators see the discrepancy and finally buy French textbooks to learn French from scratch. Of course I know how long it takes to learn a language, but I'm still willing to do it all over again for the little prince.


Why is the little prince so important.
I don't know either, all I know is that as I grow older, I feel more and more resonance from the book; as I grow older, there are more and more places that confuse me that I don't understand.
After all, it was a book that accompanied me from when I was ten until I was twenty-five. I've grown up, but I still need it to be with me. When I was young, the little prince was happy, and reading it made me happy; when I got older, the little prince was a way to adjust, and I needed to find comfort and affirmation from it. Everything can become practical and real.


For me, the little prince means all the people I miss, grandpa, grandma, Xiaoxue, etc.; it also means all the places that I want to go back to, such as the former Guangzhou, Nigeria, Fujian, etc.; it also means everything The time that I miss but can't go back, such as elementary school, the time Beijing and Ning Ning fought together, and even a simple afternoon blown by the mussels breeze.
If the little prince can make me think of one person, then I choose Wang Jue. When I was in junior high school, I missed her every day, and I firmly believed that she would also feel it when I looked up at the stars. Then we watched together and missed each other. At that time, I was the loneliest and no longer lonely.
When I was in Africa, I also looked up at the stars every day. Although it was not the same time as in China, the stars made me feel less lonely. This is a habit and a conditioned reflex.


I think since it is the feelings of so many people, there must be his reasons. It's magical. You can find resonance when you read it at any stage in your life, you can answer your questions in life, you can feel moved, and you are not alone. You look at it alone, but you feel that you are not alone, but it is you who is with you.


"If you want to tame a person, you have to risk tears; if you want to get involved with a person, you have to risk tears."
Originally, this person is just a passerby to you, but you have experienced things together, said things that touched each other, and got acquainted with each other's heart and even body, but "always separate", the little prince said, "I am here. Looking at you from the stars", someone said to you "I will always be there", after separation you firmly believe that he is still there, and you can even feel that he is by your side when you close your eyes.
All you believe in.
Yes, "full of hope".
That's the magic of the little prince.


For a long time, the little prince was just his own story, but it suddenly became so popular that it was not suitable for him. Before seeing the movie, I deliberately blocked all articles about it, for fear of being disturbed, I just wanted to be fair and just, and watch the movie with the expectations of my senior fans.
The entire plot of the movie can be given 4 stars, but it is a pity for the fans of the little prince that they did not see the plot from the beginning to the end. For us, no plot should not be presented, including emphasizing "the mask on the sheep's mouth has I won't accidentally eat roses", including a lamplighter on a planet, including "If you want to tame me, you have to come to me every day at four o'clock".

But there are still some places that move us. For example, seeing the first scene in the movie of the original book of The Little Prince, the plane lands on the Sahara desert, the moonlight fills the golden desert, the blue sky full of stars, the frustrated author, that is, the pilot, sits in front of the plane Anxious and anxious, the little prince suddenly appeared and asked him to draw a sheep. The golden hair is the wheat wave in each of us. This is the part that made me cry the most in the whole movie. It's exactly the same as the lens I've had in my mind for more than ten years. I don't think I have any regrets even if I die tomorrow.
There are also places to complain, although I don't want to ruin the whole article, after all, I rarely write movie watching records. The voice of the little prince is a child in the group of children, but he should not change his voice. The little prince has a silver bell-like laughter, how could his voice be like this? Ruined the whole movie.
Regarding the fox, whether it is Mr. Fox or something, in my mind the voice of the fox must be a woman. The creatures on the earth who accompanied the little prince to watch the sunset, hid and quietly asked him if he would like to tame the special little fox that it made it must be a female voice.
Except, Duoduo's dubbing is very good, Wang Zijian's dubbing is very good, Zhou Xun's rose dubbing is very good, the background music is very good, the tone of the whole movie is very good, and the yellowed picture is very good. There are more important people watching the movie tonight with me, which is something I didn't expect before.


I have seen many follow-up stories of the little prince, such as the book "Goodbye, The Little Prince". In my opinion, the whole movie is nothing more than a similar self-consolation of the adaptor. For me, the original book is enough, because I firmly believe that the little prince returned to the planet to accompany the roses, and I also firmly believe that those who want to see will definitely see it, and what happens and feels at any time is also true, I said that it will always be Those who are there will always be there. This is the meaning of the little prince's existence and the positive meaning it brings to everyone.


And the little prince, from the beginning to the end, is my little prince.

    A cruel fairy tale for adults. "The scary thing is not growing up, but forgetting." Yes, that's why there are endless reminders or nostalgia for the works to remind you of who you really are. PS: The paper world of the little prince is very beautiful; PPS: The dubbing of Brother Xun and Mr. Huang is really amazing!
