"Even if the whole world believes that you are a bad person, as long as you have a clear conscience, you will have friends"-"Jane Eyre"
Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery’s "Anne of the Green Gables" is about the innocent and kindness of little Annie, who lost her parents since childhood. When she was 11 years old, she was caught by the brothers and sisters of Matthew and Marie of Green Gables. Adopted, she has a bright personality and full of fantasy. Not only did she get the love of Matthew and Marilla, she gained the care and friendship of teachers and classmates, but also directly and indirectly affected everyone around her.
Today we will take a look at the TV series "Little Annie" adapted from this book and aired in 2017. Since this little red-haired girl came to the small town of Aifanli, there hasn’t been a day in peace. Everyone hates and likes this little girl who is "talking about tuberculosis".
With sincerity and kindness, Anne brought not only "earthquake"-like shocks to Evanli after another, making this closed and backward place gradually accept new ideas at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
Because of Anne, the girls in Evanli Town have become the best self since they were a good wife at home. The boys in Evanli Town have realized their behavior towards girls. For the possible harm, the adults of Ai Fanli began to forgive the past and embrace a better future.
This is not a simple work of children's growth, it is more to tell everyone who reads that freedom is the background color of everyone.
Mark Twain wrote: "Anne is the most touching and beloved child image after the immortal Alice."
This shows how well the character "Annie" has portrayed.
Among the works that Montgomery wrote throughout his life, "Annie" can be regarded as the lighter part.
The TV series "Little Annie", co-produced by the United States and Canada, has been broadcast for three seasons since 2017, from the time Annie came to Green Gables to the end where Annie went to Quinn College. Eleven-year-old Annie came to Green Gables and is about to live a lifetime on this land. Green Gable Manor is also the place where the author Montgomery lived in real life, and it still attracts countless people to this day. We will all meet Annie, and each of us is Annie. How bad can one's childhood be? Abandoned and left in the orphanage, both parents died. The adoption family is one hell after another. Because of her status as a girl, she was rejected by the adoptive family, bullied by other children in the orphanage, and physically punished by the director of the orphanage. Annie was only 11 years old. age.
Because no one taught Annie what is good and what is not good, Annie learned everything she saw.
When Anne came to the school on the first day to visit the school with her good friend Diana, she saw her teacher Ted Phillips and her student Prius Andrews very close, she quickly remembered the adopted family before. Everything you hear and see.
Annie said, "Ms. Phillips has a small mouse in her clothes, and Priss will play with it." When the students heard Annie's account, they all expressed nausea and expressed that they did not want to play with Annie.
The first day of school was not pleasant. Not only did Anne fail to get the good campus life she thought, she became the one who was excluded from the school. Everyone was laughing at the red-haired, freckled little girl.
"Orphan" is synonymous with Annie. Being an orphan was not the way Annie chose. Seeing the pictures that shouldn't be seen and learning the unpleasant words was not the way Annie chose.
She was only three months old. Her parents died of illness and she was forced to be sent to an orphanage. She then moved to multiple adoptive families just to survive. The families who adopted her are just because there are so many children in the family. It is always cheaper to adopt a child who can do housework than to hire a servant, and can be beaten, scolded, and punished at will.
I thought I would be adopted well this time, but I didn't expect to see the other side telling herself "we want a boy", Annie also replied with "I also wish that I am not a daughter".
Seeing the green gables, Mariela didn't plan to adopt herself. When Anne was sent back, she met another family with many children and wanted to adopt a little girl. Looking at the children on the floor, Annie said, "I don't want to be adopted by her even if I die."
When I first made friends in school, I walked into the classroom with a boy, and I was isolated by my friends. Even Annie’s first reaction was "I was wrong," and she quickly apologized to her partner.
The adult was very frightened when he met the horse while sitting in the cart, and even after being left on the ground, Annie could still stand up and point at the dog and shout "GO HOME". She couldn't see Anne's panic and complain at all, she smiled and said, "I'm used to unexpected situations."
When the adults were at a loss when facing the sick child, Annie did not panic and carried out the treatment. At a young age, Annie could see at a glance what was going on with the crying child, and could get the child with "acute laryngitis" out of danger.
If it weren't for her height and appearance to tell others that she was just a child, you would feel that she was a long-standing person.
When thinking of the fate, I immediately think of Mr. Yu Hua’s "To Live". When an old man named Fugui looks back on his life, you can hardly imagine his life stumbled like that, but at the same time, we will also be impressed by Fugui’s tenacity. : Sometimes we don’t know what we live for, but we live. How good can one's values be? Annie has never really hated a person.
To the director of the orphanage, she asked politely; to the girl in the orphanage who had bullied her, she said "I never thought you would be here"; to the adult who laughed at her appearance the first time we met, she also Able to bow her head and apologize; to those who came to adopt her, she showed gratitude as an adult, holding other people’s hands and shaking them; facing the teachers and classmates who laughed at her, she chose not to go to class again instead of Advancing the theory; when faced with Mrs. Brevitt who only used her as a working machine, she also directly expressed her views on the treatment of the child’s illness; when faced with the raging fire, she did not care that the other party was the girl who isolated her. One, and bravely rushing into the fire successfully prevented the fire from spreading...
In many cases, Annie has reasons to "hate and hate others", but she doesn't.
The harm caused to her by others can be easily forgotten or buried in her heart and never remembered again. Even the ups and downs brought by fate, Annie can be completely forgotten by her own imagination.
In Annie's imagination, she is sometimes a noble princess, and sometimes a hero who rescues the world. A lot of reading not only cultivated Annie's extraordinary imagination, but also gave Annie a rich vocabulary.
Every time Annie speaks, there are continuous parallel sentences, metaphors, personification sentences and so on. This is also how Annie faces life. Annie's sadness usually does not last until the next day. Every morning, Annie can "resurrect with blood."
"Who knows what the world will be like, it may be the same in the morning, but luck will come in the evening."
Therefore, we can always see an energetic Annie, as if she will never have sorrow or pain.
Faced with Mrs. Hardmont, the adoptive family who often beats and scolds Anne, Anne said “Don’t leave me” when Mrs. Hardmont was about to send herself back to the orphanage. When she first came to Green Gable, Mariella said she wanted When she was sent back, Annie was so sad that she couldn’t eat dinner at night. In the morning, she became a little princess full of blood and resurrected. She wore a bed sheet to play the princess. Matthew was worried, and pretended to go to school, but actually hid in the forest; when there was no one to accompany her in life, she imagined a friend to accompany herself at all times.
When Evanli was hostile to people of different skin colors, Annie praised Sebastian’s skin color as a gift from heaven, and later became close friends with Sebastian’s wife, Mary, and learned from her. How to bake, after Mary died, Anne still thought about taking care of Delphine, Mary's child.
Perhaps because of this character, Annie is always kind to do bad things.
Wanting to let Matthew have her own love, Annie communicated with Matthew’s first love, Jenny, privately. Matthew was angry when she learned about it, and Annie was also very wronged, but she learned to respect other people’s thoughts when she gets along with others; she wanted to explore Marilla’s head The secret of the yarn, but he broke the veil by mistake; wanted to help his partner Cole solve the problem of arm injuries, but it directly triggered the biggest battle in the school, leading to the possible dismissal of Teacher Stasi; wanted to be a good friend Josie asked for justice, but everyone blamed Josie for his "liberty" and brought a crisis to the newspaper team. In the end, the printing press was taken away and the school was burned...
We never know what Annie will do next, or what changes this child will bring about?
But we all want to be with her, go on an adventure together, and set out to the world together.
I remember that another growth character is Harry Potter. In that Rubik’s Cube world, Harry Potter and his friends are also on adventure together, fighting against the black magic together; and it seems that they will never grow up. Tom and Jerry in the big "Cat and Mouse" are constantly exploring their world. How lucky can one be in a situation? I came to Green Gables because the introducer made a mistake in communicating. I planned to adopt a boy, but sent a girl.
Undoubtedly, Annie is lucky.
Fortunately for Annie, after experiencing countless adoptions and being beaten and scolded in her life, she can still maintain her love for life, an immense liking for nature, and hope for tomorrow. Fortunately for Anne, she was caught by the green gable of Cass. The brothers and sisters of Burt were adopted, and finally they could live a good life. With people like parents—Marila and Matthew have good friends—Diana, Ruby, Cole, Jerry, Gilbert and others have dreams, freedom, and happiness. I was able to meet Teacher Stasi, Josephine Barry, and finally found news of my parents, knowing that they had indeed passed away due to illness, and entered the university campus at the end of the third season.
The movie "Blind Spot" is about the life experience of an athlete Michael. Annie is the character portrayed in the book, but Michael is a real person in real life, but they all have kindness and luck in common. What tomorrow looks like-you can never imagine what Annie can do? She can treat sick children because there are many children in the adopted family and she knows how to feed children. She rushed into the fire and used the knowledge she had seen to stop the fire from spreading. She said to the classmates who didn't want to live with her, don't worry, no one will think you are standing with me anymore. She also broke Maria's beloved veil, smashed the cup on the first day of school, and read the text aloud but was ridiculed. In order to be with her friends, she bluntly rejected the boy's favors, and even the first reaction was that she had done something wrong, sorry to her friend, and vowed never to talk to that boy in the future. She politely questioned the dean of the orphanage and showed kindness to the temporary shopkeeper. Although I didn't get the favor of the new teacher, I still tried my best to find a way to keep the teacher. This is a torture of adult boundaries-are you a child or an adult? All adults were once children, and all children will eventually grow up.
The adults said "We want a boy".
The child asked the adult, "Since you don't want me, why didn't you tell me in the first place, why didn't you leave me there? Why did you let me know this and then tell me it's all fake."
The child asked the adult, "The adult thinks the child is a burden, why do you have to give birth to so many?" The child said, "I didn't take it," the adult said, "It's you."
At the beginning of the fourth episode of the first season, the scene of the connection between the child and the adult described the process of making a fire.
The adults said, "In my age, you can't help yourself, now you can make your own decisions."
Annie saved a child, but the adult next to her could not do anything, so she could only pace back and forth.
Matthew said in the first season, "I feel sad, she is just a child."
In the second season, children always look forward to growing up, wearing adult clothes and speaking the words of adults; adults want to live like children because they missed their entire childhood.
In the third season, Matthew said, "You are worried about her journey, and I am more worried about her heart."
The adult said "I can't raise you", the child said "I need to know about my parents, I need to know if they love me".
The adults said, "It doesn't matter who did the wrong thing, your reputation is damaged, and the damage to the girl's reputation is crucial."
The child said "I did nothing wrong."
The adult said "you can't write this in the newspaper", the child said "the newspaper is the place to tell the truth."
The boy said "You are like a slut" and the girl said "You have all power."
Annie "No one can determine your value except you." The man said, "Take care of your children",
The woman said, "They are not children, and they are not unruly."
The child said, "Why pretend to tell lies, why pretend to be what an adult wants you to be". Annie's arrival revealed the past of countless people. Matthew's past, Maria's past
The siblings have never been married in their entire lives. The first episode of the first season of the TV series asked this question through Annie's voice, and then gradually revealed the first love of the two in the three seasons, and even recounted their family-mother and elder brother. (All have passed away). Matthew used to be isolated by his school classmates. It was his brother Mike who helped him regain his confidence; Marilla once had a lover, and there were many uncontrollable factors that prevented her from getting married. They saw the past and the future in Annie.
The Diana Barry Family
The Barry family is very rich, abide by the so-called etiquette, and cultivate the image of a lady. But after Annie became Diana's friend, Diana gradually discovered what she really wanted, and the Barry and his wife also began to force their children to obey their daughters' choices.
The teacher's love affair
Because of Anne’s "nonsense", rumors about the teacher and student were spread everywhere in the town of Evanli. Even though the proposal ended in marriage and prevented the rumors from spreading, Anne’s joining made Priss realize that she was a girl. , First is a person, second is a wife.
Josephine's grandmother's lover
It was also because of Anne’s "lie" that Anne, Diana, and Cole were able to successfully participate in the party organized by Josephine Barry, but at the same time Diana found out that her grandmother’s former lover was a woman.
The conspiracy of two liars
Through Anne’s inquiry, it was finally confirmed that the two boarders were liars. Although the loss could not be recovered, the thrilling chase made Anne realize that she must stick to her own views and not be deceived by others.
People living deep in the jungle
Annie likes to make friends. The interviews in Mikamao Village have made more people aware of the tribes living in the depths of the jungle, but it also brought disasters to them because they are Indians. This is Anne’s journey to heal and be healed. "This feeling of mutual affection flows between relatives. It has been commonplace for many years. If the idea of making changes appears, it seems to be a practice of each other. So we chose to wait for this feeling. , I hope to continue, treat each other as treasures." Annie read aloud in front of Matthew's bed.
Anne is looking for a place where her life can depend, and the people in the small town of Evanli have found themselves because of Anne’s arrival. This town has become more passionate because of Anne, just like Matthew and Marilla on the Green Gable The life is the same, as calm as water is broken, and what is left is that things under the water surface. There are many subtleties in the narrative of the TV series. At the beginning of the first season, Annie sat on the train to the adoptive family. At the beginning of the second season, Annie walked with a rope on the road to the tree she likes. At the beginning of the third season, Annie Riding a horse in the forest, becoming one with nature, she is looking for her own belonging.
The beginning of each season heralds the theme of this season.
Anne’s nightmare in the second episode of the second season foreshadows that bad things will happen to Green Gables. There are many similar things with signs. For example, at the beginning of the third season, Mary’s death was described before, and Mary’s son Elijah was described before The arrival of Mary brought disasters-quarrels, injured fingers, and stolen things.
"The real world in my impression is vast and vast, and that land is full of hope, fear, shock, and exciting things, waiting for brave people to explore, go deep into its infinite realm, and seek real life knowledge in crisis."— —The passage from Anne's recitation in the seventh episode of the second season. This is not only a paragraph in the book, but also a portrayal of Annie.
The Stasi teacher who appeared in the second season shaking hands with people for the first time was the same as Annie, shaking constantly. Show that they are the same kind of people.
The third season, "Those long silent tenderness and joyful emotions have rekindled in my heart. This surprising and novel feeling, I allow myself to feel this shock, I may die, but first of all, it’s you. My tyrant and tormentor"-a sentence from "Frankenstein" read by Jerry. At this time, Mariela often went to see Marie's daughter Minnie May, and was very happy every time.
"We, as women, strong and sacred, declare on this holy night: Our beautiful body belongs to us only. We have the right to choose the one we love and the one we trust. We will walk in the world with grace and respect. We We will always be proud of our outstanding wisdom. We will release our emotions to our heart's content. If there is a man who dares to despise us, we will let him go! Our soul is indestructible, and our imagination runs freely with us. Come, goddess! We are deeply favored by you!"-the children swear to the goddess of fire by the fire. This is their new understanding of the gender they are women. One of the children finally said, "It's nice to be a woman."
This is a story about friendship, affection, love, a story about gender differences, bullying, feminism, color differences, ethnic differences, freedom, independence, and hope.
Annie broke the tranquility of the green gables and set off the turmoil of Prince Edward Island, infecting everyone around her with love and true feelings.
