A little disappointed

1. Charlotte's voice, Juliet Roberts's tone is too soft. There was a touch of sarcasm in Charlotte's tone. She stood tall and could see clearly, and it was inevitable that she would show that meaning. This is an important part of Charlotte's personality, and it is missing from the dubbing.
2. The actor who plays the little girl Fen is too beautiful, too lively, and too celebrity.
3. The old man who narrates is definitely not the taste of the original author White. He added a bit of enlightenment to promote the American spirit. For example, at the end, he said that since this happened, the people in the whole county are not in good spirits. It's the same. Everyone knows that this is a special place... I really can't imagine what White would write if he wrote about New York that he was familiar with. Of course, this is not the result of the narration old man talking to himself. Paying attention to Mr. Zuckerman's acceptance speech, it is the same tone. The editor is a shortcoming, most of the water has flowed away from him.
4. The film is too entertaining, and there is not much left in the essence of the original. For example, Charlotte coaxed Wilbur to sleep, and Wilbur's final goodbye to Charlotte was either gone without a trace or severed. However, the entertainment atmosphere has greatly increased, and a pair of crows who don't know where they fly have won a lot of scenes. Considering that this was at the expense of Wilbur and Charlotte's solitary scenes, I was not angry with the crows. Perhaps the author of the film is worried that a scene that is too quiet will affect the audience's interest.
5. Only one lens is a step up from the original book. The indiscriminate mouse Haw Waiwai was unwilling to rescue Charlotte's spider eggs, but Wilbur was so persuaded that he climbed onto the beam of the room and took away the spider eggs. At the time of parting, Charlotte, who was dying, thanked the mouse. The mouse turned around and glanced at Charlotte, with the egg bag in his mouth, so he didn't speak. The screen can handle the expression of the mouse so subtle and serious, and the art is so good. Moreover, it makes sense that a selfish and greedy mouse can express such emotions at this time, unexpectedly.

Charlotte's Web quotes

  • [Templeton is being chased by two crows and finding shelter inside a tin can]

    Templeton: The rat... is not... uh, uh, enjoying this! All this for slop? The rat is desperate. The rat is trapped. The rat needs to stop calling himself "the rat".

  • Wilbur: [about Charlotte] She's dying! She can't go home with us. So I need you to help me take her egg sac with us.

    Templeton: Did you say "eggs"?

    Wilbur: It's an egg *sac*, and it's right up there, and it has her children in it. And I can't just leave it here. What if something happened to them? Now, I can't reach it, so I need you to get it for me. And I need you to do it *now*!

    Templeton: I don't think I like your tone.

    Wilbur: Can't you just once in your life think of someone other than yourself?

    Templeton: Once? Once?

    Wilbur: Come on.

    Templeton: No, *you* come on! Who got his hindquarters pecked to make you "radiant," huh? Templeton, that's who. And who interrupted the gorging of a lifetime so you could be "humble"? Why, I think it was... Templeton! Templeton, Templeton, Tem-ple-ton! And do I get thanked? No! Well, has it ever occurred to you that even a rat might like a little appreciation? A little, dare I say, *love*?

    Wilbur: Do it and you'll get dibs on my slop for the rest of my life.

    Templeton: Done.
