A child who lacks nothing can imagine

It feels more like an ideal and realistic movie. Although the final ending is too "beautiful" and cliché and abrupt, the innocence and beauty of the little princess is still worth watching. For me, the dialogue between the principal and the little princess in the attic is the highlight of the movie, "Didn't your father tell you?" I really can't analyze the principal's acting skills. ”, presumably the principal also encountered a lot of real hardships, only to be jealous and confrontation with such a naive child. From the beginning to the end, I don't think the principal is a bad person. I think the principal is more like a kind of person. They also envy and yearn to be cared for and pampered by the little princess, and receive the same education as the little princess. They are carefree and full of fantastic fantasies. . However, the reality is not so lucky for her, and becoming realistic and "rules" is the final outcome. In addition, the reason why the principal is not a bad person is because after going through real hardships, she still has the heart to help her people and take in the little princess who has nothing. And the "master and servant can't speak" and other "rules" that she insists on are just the reality that she herself cannot overcome.

It is invaluable to maintain innocence and hope after experiencing reality. Just like the little princess who has experienced countless hardships, others ask her: "Are you still a princess?" There is a silence in the film. When the Negro Maid (with a bad memory, excuse me) begged her to tell her story, she also seemed to start not believing in the imagination, it was all fake and meaningless. Why the little princess is more fortunate than the principal is because when she was down and in trouble, a little boy from outside helped her and gave her a coin. inner belief.

I am a negative person. If in the end, it wasn't her father who woke up in the battlefield, and if the old man next door was not kind enough, would the ending be different? The realist represented by the principal is the one who comes to the end. .

    This film is the first time I watched a movie as an adult and cried to the point of death! I have a deep love for fairy tales!

    Alfonso Cuaron also has a childlike innocence. Although this is not a particularly pure fairy tale, it also creates a beautiful imagination for us that is different from the real world. But I don't like the ending of the dean being a handyman at the end, because it's not necessary to punish people who do bad things, especially not to deprive them of what they rightly have.
