Puffs without filling

This film is like a puff with a soft and gorgeous appearance, but no cream filling.

Let me talk about a few points where this film failed to show the original work well:

1. Beautiful costumes.

2. Even if she is lost, Sara still loves to learn and often reads and learns outside of heavy work.

3. Sara's graceful demeanor from the end, princess demeanor.

4. Fans of this book’s favorite dream come true fragment, only hastily described in the film, and taken in one stroke.

5. Even in very difficult circumstances, treat beggars and other people's many good deeds.

The one and a half-minute film can't fully show the original work and understand it, but the points and aspects that are skipped in the film, as well as the processing at the end, make the film really far from the core of the original work.

At the end of the story, Sarah sent the monkey back to the next door because of her kindness, so she recognized her father's friend and finally escaped from hell. However, the film was changed abruptly so that Sara entered the next door in order to avoid being chased, and recognizes her father who has amnesia but is still alive.

I often burst into tears because of a certain scene in the film, but for this happy ending, I can only squeeze out two tears. Not even close. There is no Princess Sarah, only Sarah, a pitiful little girl looking for her father.

The rich-poor transition at the end is like a low-level cool film. Sarah's thoughts about the rich and the poor, and the feelings about life, all have nothing to do with it.

The kind, elegant, generous, gentle, firm, and plentiful princess Sara I saw from the story, I can’t see it here, or it’s not enough, it’s not enough.

Not enough, Sarah in this film will always be Captain Crewe's little princess, but Sarah in the story teaches us that every girl is a princess. Whether beautiful or ugly, whether poor or rich, whether young or old, it is all.

A Little Princess quotes

  • Sara Crewe: Don't cry, Becky.

    Becky: I'm scared. If Minchin throws me out, I got no place to go.

    Sara Crewe: That's not true. I'm here with you. I've always thought of us as sisters.

    Becky: You have?

    Sara Crewe: Let's make a promise right now: to always look out for each other.

    Becky: It's a promise.

    [they embrace]

  • [the girls have awoken to find the attic beautifully redecorated and a breakfast of sausages, muffins, and fruit awaiting them]

    Sara Crewe: Look! Just what we ordered!

    Becky: I'm a little scared about all of this.

    Sara Crewe: Me, too. Do you think we shouldn't eat it?

    Becky: I'm not that scared!
