This The story is one told in a letter Beatrix Potter wrote to the sick five-year-old son of Anne, her former governess.
I was once attracted by this picture book. I like the plot that makes people laugh, and I like the vivid colors, the demeanor of each character and the countless details. So I watched the movie "Miss Potter" very early and wanted to write something, but I always felt that I knew too little about Miss Potter and picture books. I haven't read her other works so far, so I don't have enough confidence to tell her story. .
Or tell a story like this little rabbit.
Peter Rabbit is a very special little rabbit, of course the protagonist is always special. The beginning of the picture book hints at Peter being different - his brothers are all wearing red capes, but he is wearing a blue one. (The one in the movie)
One morning, Mama Rabbit said, "You guys go out into the fields and play. Don't go to Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden, that's where your dad happened, he Made into a pie."
It's really a dark fairy tale - Dad was made into a pie in the beginning. But like all children, parents do what they are not allowed to do. Here comes Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden.
The next picture is of Peter stealing all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden, and then unfortunately being discovered by Mr. McGregor, Peter was so frightened that he flew away, and finally returned home. However, it is sick.
Ha, that's how naughty kids end up.
This slap-sized picture book, this childish story has been passed down for hundreds of years. If you read this picture book, you will be attracted by its charm. Miss Potter behind the picture, no matter what she looks like, must be a beautiful woman. Her brushstrokes are soft and motherly, as if the rabbit were her child. When I saw the scene in the movie where her animals jumped out of paper one by one, I thought it was very fitting.
It is said that Miss Potter's tutoring was so strict that she and her brother had few real friends. Is that why Miss Potter indulges in painting and fantasies (like the movie where her parents go to dinner in a pumpkin cart). The picture is not only a vassal of the text, but can tell the story independently. It is like the protagonist who leads the reader to follow him to get to know the kind-hearted sparrow and the bad guy Mr. McGregor, anxious for his encounter, and happy for his safety. She loves telling stories too much, and she loves drawing too much, so she started to tell stories with paintings, which should also be regarded as a "style". Therefore, Peng Yi said, "This little Victorian woman created the prototype of modern picture books".
What comforts many young women in literature and art is that Miss Potter is a true older woman who can find happiness after suffering all kinds of setbacks. But I feel that Miss Potter's extremely rich spiritual life and the relatively open vibe of the Victorian era made her not have the so-called creed that she must marry and have children to live a life without regrets. (Think of the Bronti sisters of the same era.)
She was 36 years old when she published her debut novel, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, in 1902, and this was the beginning of her first love. What was she doing in the thirty years before this? When the beautiful ladies wear lace, she dresses simply to raise small animals, tell stories, paint, and observe the nature of animals in the lake area. When she met her fiancé, she was demanding every detail of her prints. Love seems to be attached to the book and painting, who made her publisher happen to be single. In 1905, when she was 39 years old, her fiancé, who had been engaged for a month, died suddenly of leukemia. Also that year, she used her royalties to buy a farm in the Lake District. a farm.
You see, love is always a big deal, but in Miss Potter's life, it's only part of the memory. Then when she was 47, she married her lawyer and moved out of her London home, finally getting her wish to live in the fresh and natural countryside.
Renee Zellweger really does Miss Potter's look. In "Cold Mountain" I thought she was better than Nicole.
I do like Miss Potter and her art. But I just love fantasy, but if there is a bit of talent, I would also like to hold the brush for the rest of my life, for my friends in fantasy.
