Whether in the original or in the movie, Anna is an introverted girl. Because of her adopted life experience, she is lonely and stubborn, not good at interacting with others, and has serious distrust of adults. Although in her inner world, the meeting and acquaintance she imagined with Marnie is so warm and natural, but on the surface Anna is still that lonely "outsider".
Anna experienced the death of her parents in a car accident. After spending a short and beautiful time with her grandmother, her grandmother also passed away. Family members passed away one after another. According to Anna's young mind, adults abandoned her one after another. She couldn't forgive the adults who abandoned her, and at the same time she hated the abandoned herself. From then on, Anna closed her heart until she met Marnie.
Although it is children's literature, it can accurately convey the delicate and fragile psychology to readers through the connection of bit of life experience. Following Anna can not help but become lonely. The film performance in this aspect is not inferior. When Anna repeated "I forgive you!" to Marnie from the heart, feeling that she was also released, Anna finally found herself and took a difficult step on the way to growth.
Regarding the plot that Anna dreamed about getting along with Marnie, it was lavishly rendered as a lily plot by many media, and I don't comment on it. However, many delicate emotional exchanges may only have a chemical effect between the same sex, and such feelings are also beautiful.
Finally, I want to say that this is a story about loneliness, but it is not sad.
