Wilbur was a pig, from birth, a emaciated, useless pig under the axe.
Because the sow has only ten teats, but the piglets have twelve. It was doomed that Wilbur, who was not strong, was the one who was abandoned.
Life is so small, you can never decide for yourself. But God seems to be particularly fond of this newly born little life. Wilbur did not die under the axe, but was rescued by Finn, the daughter of the head of the household.
Finn asked his father why he wanted to kill it. The father replied that because it is weak and useless, it will not grow up.
Finn retorted: I was too thin back then, are you going to kill me too?
Father was speechless and had to leave her alone.
Finn named it: Wilbur. They were raised until they could no longer be brought with them and were sent to the farm of their uncle Zuckerman Homer next door.
When Wilbur first arrived on the farm, he was unbearably flustered. It has become accustomed to the days with Finn, and every bit of it has become a good memory in its heart. It couldn't stand being locked up in this strange place, and it couldn't stand being separated from Finn.
From the first time Wilbur saw Finn, and then Finn took care of it all the time, even taking it to school.
Time has proven that both Finn and Wilbur are important friends and family members in their hearts. A separation that no human being can bear, let alone a sentient animal?
So, it did the only thing it could do as a pig.
That is——with all his strength, he smashed the fence that restrained it in front of him.
However, it made the other animals on the farm laugh. Some animals think it's smart, some think it's stupid. How can an animal that is locked in have a chance to escape again?
But Wilbur did it. It escaped the second time it hit the fence. It saw Finn getting farther and farther away, and it couldn't catch up with it... Finally, it was called back by the farmer Homer. All the animals lamented its return. Because everyone knows that if Wilbur stays here forever, there will only be a tragic ending - he is finally killed by the farmer Homer, sent to the smokehouse to be made into ham, served on the table, as a Christmas delicacy.
In order not to upset this innocent little pig, the animals chose to hide it from it.
And Wilbur also changed from being restless and flustered on the farm to being happy and lively.
Wilbur made many friends at Zuckerman Farm.
Beez and Leeds the cows, the Seymour Four Sheep Squad, Mrs. Goose, Mrs. Goose, Ike the Red-maned Horse, Templey the Mouse, and the spider that spins a web in the corner of the door—Xia Lot.
And Finn is also unable to see Wilbur every day because of his studies and life. One night, Finn didn't come to say goodnight to Wilbur.
Wilbur lay down on the moonlit haystack, unable to sleep no matter how hard he closed his eyes.
It said to the moon over and over in frustration, two words that would not respond: Good night...
The moonlight poured down like water, shining on the nets on the eaves of the door.
The silver-white net is also extraordinarily soft because of the moonlight, and the surroundings are quiet.
Until a gentle reply came into Wilbur's ears.
In the invisible night, surrounded by the snoring of animals, Wilbur heard the most beautiful and gentle words in the world: good night.
Wilbur asked excitedly who? The gentle voice told it that it would know the next morning.
So, Wilbur began to look forward to the next day impatiently.
From the fish maw white until the orange, the first ray of sunshine, shining on the farm.
That's how Wilbur and Charlotte knew each other. The friendship between them started so naturally and unexpectedly.
However, in Templeley's "honest" account, Wilbur still knew his final outcome. Piglets born in spring will not survive this winter. Wilbur felt hopeless, even unfair. He's an ideal pig, he wants to live until Christmas, and he wants to see the snow. So, Charlotte, as its friend, made the first promise: to make it live until winter.
What method should be used? Charlotte came up with a way to attract attention and make Wilbur feel special to everyone else and never hurt him again - he made "some pig" out of silk thread. sentence.
The people on the farm were stunned. Hundreds of people came to watch. Everyone was amazed and surprised. Because this is simply incredible! However, human enthusiasm is always limited. After the heat of this event is over, life returns to peace. Wilbur's life crisis is still not completely resolved.
Charlotte called everyone together to find a way for Wilbur, asked a lot of advice, and finally Charlotte wrote: "terrific" (terrific)
Surprised everyone again. The number of onlookers grew from a few hundred to a few thousand, and they even appeared in local newspapers because of the popularity.
But the results were similar to the previous one, and a month later, people forgot about it again.
Wilbur fell into depression again. And the animals on the farm couldn't think of a better word to describe Wilbur.
Charlotte asks Dumpley, the rat who always collects trash, to find some good words. Forced by the temptation of face and swill, the cold-hearted Templeley desperately went to the rubbish heap to find words.
Naturally, Charlotte woven the web again: "radiant" (radiant)
Wilbur completely caught everyone's attention, and everyone was once again surprised. Even the news reporters came to take pictures.
Charlotte's move completely surprised Mr. Homer. Decided to take Wilbur to a garden party.
Everyone who was full of confidence felt that Wilbur could come back with a grand prize.
But Wilbur fainted again in despair when he heard the word "prosciutto." At this time, Charlotte was pregnant and had no way to go with Wilbur. But, for the promise it made to Wilbur, Charlotte went with it anyway. And Templeley also went together under the "coaxing" of the animals.
Wilbur's opponent was a boar the size of a hippo. It lay lazily on the haystack, as though it didn't matter if it was winning. Obviously, the skinny Wilbur was no match for it. If you can't get the prize, then everything will be in vain, and Wilbur's ending will be bleak...
With Templeley's help, Charlotte wove another word: "humble"
Wilbur no longer had to worry about being slaughtered and sent to the smokehouse to be made into ham.
Because its significance has gone far beyond being human food.
But Charlotte's life came to an end with the birth of her child.
Charlotte fulfilled her promise to Wilbur to spend Christmas safely and see snow.
I've been thinking about the importance of the commitment between friends. Will all friends be the most important person to each other?
Commitment is a very important thing, I think, no matter what kind of commitment.
But not all friends are the most important people to each other. Because we meet a lot of people, get along with a lot of people, and make friends with a lot of people. We seem to be constantly screening, but still can't find the most suitable person.
Charlotte and Wilbur's friendship has always moved me. Obviously, they are such irrelevant animals. There will be no connection in this lifetime. But because of a "good night" began their friendship. Perhaps it was Wilbur's kindness and enthusiasm that moved Charlotte. Perhaps it was Charlotte's gentleness and patience that struck Wilbur. Friendship is about touching each other, isn't it? It is an unstoppable insistence. It is also a long-lasting, never-fading miss.
Wilbur said he was useless, but Charlotte told it: (The following is from the original book)
"You'll be fine in the future. You'll be fine, Wilbur. There's nothing to hurt you any more. It's autumn, and the days will be cooler, and the days will be shorter, and the leaves will fall from the trees. And then it's Christmas, it's winter, it's going to snow. You're going to live and see the frozen snow, because you mean so much to the Zuckerman family, they won't hurt you again, never again When winter is over, the days will get longer and the ice in the ponds will melt. The larks will come back to sing, the frogs will wake up, and the warm wind will blow again. All these nice things, nice sounds, All the good smells are waiting for you, Wilbur. This wonderful world, these precious days."
Wilbur always said that Charlotte had done too much for herself and she had done nothing for it.
Friendship, I think, probably just won't care about paying. on the premise of happiness.
I would like to say a few words about Dumpley the mouse. Although it has always displayed a selfish and irrelevant attitude, its heart is not cold and rigid. Maybe it's identity and character. Because mice are bad and bad things in everyone's eyes.
Although I always disliked shirk and didn't want to help, but every "adventure" and "life and death escape" helped Wilbur and Charlotte.
End up caring for Charlotte's 514 babies with the farm animals.
Of course, many things are not what we see with our eyes. Whether something is good or bad, we have to feel it with our heart. Hearing and vision are often misleading. I think that's what the movie is trying to tell us.
Life is long and short.
There is always a place in the corner of the eaves of Zuckerman Farm, which belongs to Charlotte.
And Wilbur also had a place in his memory that belonged to Charlotte.
This is probably true friendship, and the beautiful memory and warm power produced by it.
