It's magic. Let me see the golden light.

Once I talked about movies with my sister Joanna on the Internet. She said that the movie she would cry every time she watched was "Rwanda Hotel." I thought about it carefully, and then told her that the movie I would cry every time I watched is "Little Princess". When I said it, I couldn't help but laugh first. This is a childish answer. But, really, every time I watch this movie, I can't help crying.

I have always believed that everyone will have a soft place in their heart that is not covered by dust. It's just that some people have forgotten, some people have ignored it, and some people deliberately bypassed there and went to another place that they thought was better. Love, tenacity, optimism, elegance, and kindness seem to be more likely to be hurt by possessing these qualities at certain times. So we always wrap ourselves up, leaving only a pair of eyes to stare at the people and things around us, our hearts are like an abyss of silence, without temperature and light.

When watching this movie, I will let the tears roll off wantonly, curl up on the sofa, with tenderness in my heart. It's like returning to the time when you don't have to worry about anything and don't be afraid. As long as there is love, there is warmth, light, and the courage to persevere.

This movie is called "Little Princess", and it is said that "every girl is a princess" many times in the movie.
In fact, I didn't think I was a princess ever since I was a child, nor would I use it to comfort myself. Every time I say this, it's just a joke. I think that the princess shouldn't be able to say that she is a princess, so she can have a bright crown on top of her head. The princess didn't think she would become a princess. But it seems that because of this, Sarah in the movie can move me even more.

Everything she showed was not intentional.

Sara is a child who lives in the endless love of her father. The mother died when she was a baby. This incident did not seem to leave too much shadow in her heart. Sarah grew up in India, and her heart was filled with tropical wonders. Coupled with a generous life and a naive personality, such children often appear clean and dust-free, without a trace of gloom in their eyes.
When she arrived at the girls’ school, Sarah was soaked in a sponge of love. She didn't understand what the world was full of, and she didn't understand that there were shadows in the sun. Looking at the pictures of her mother when she was young on the wall of the stairwell, she just marveled at her beauty, longing for an idol instead of tears and pain. She didn't understand too many rules, and didn't understand that not everyone would love her and tolerate her. Although she missed her father after he went to the battlefield, she was loved by her classmates at school. She only did the right things, like a sun piercing people's hearts from outside the window, so bright and almost transparent.

Girls like her. They listened to her telling stories and surrounded her, exclaiming or sighing for her story. These girls are more ordinary than Sarah, but also more real than her. They are like ABCD sitting in our classroom, or just like ourselves. They helped Sara get her necklace back and went to the attic to listen to her story after she became a servant. The fat girl even said sadly: "Why do you ignore me? Don't you consider me a good friend?" They are also such cute and brave girls. Although ordinary, they are still attractive and attractive. move.
As for Lavinia, that arrogant girl, I don't hate her. I understand that she is just a girl who has no sense of security. Faced with the attention and respect she has lost, she cannot accept it for a while. She became arrogant and didn't know how to change it, so she could only cover her little panic with indifference. She is just an ordinary girl. The hug with Sara in the end, her somewhat stiff posture, and the shameful smile afterwards, are really familiar.


Compared with these girls, Sarah is not as beautiful as a real person. In the scene where she comforted Lottie, watching the girl's white palms intertwined against each other against a dark green background, she suddenly thought in her heart, why not just keep it perfect like this. The little maid Betsy stood on the stairs and shook her head secretly. I also knew in my heart that none of these beautiful things would be real. She has so much love, gurgling from her heart, just wish everyone around her is happy and warm, and can feel the golden sunlight outside the dark green brick building. The bright yellow shoes she gave to Betsy were placed in a green box. The moment I opened the lid of the box, the contrast of colors made me exclaim in a low voice. They were really beautiful.
Sara regardless of skin color, status, rich or poor, regardless of any visible or invisible boundaries. Her world is a big world, and love is the boundary in her world. Her love is so natural and pleasing to the eye. Not pretentious, not pleased, just giving magnanimously and gently. At this time, I think she never really felt that she was a princess, she just followed her heart and did what she thought was right.

Faced with such a girl, I really can't bear to see her see the world after tearing off the beautiful curtain. What's more, in such a fierce manner, on the day of his birthday, he received the news of his father's death.

The symbolic meaning of the black balloon is so obvious. It drifted slowly towards Sara, like a nightmare and conspiracy that came suddenly and silently. From then on, the dark green brick buildings began to hide in the thunderstorm, snow and night, and the golden light became scarce. It was also from that time that Sara entered her first and most difficult growth period, and she finally landed from the clouds and became real. "Every girl is a princess", this sentence brought from India has become a sharp knife for her self-defense, and the magical story about India in her mind has become the magic circle in which she saves herself.

She is not afraid. Nor is it strong and mature enough to face all of this without the slightest panic. She is even more naive than other children. After all, pain and darkness are like chickenpox, and it is better to emerge early than late. At this time, she has no spare time to become a princess, she only knows that she needs to do a lot of chores, is busy every day, and can't eat enough to sleep.

And at this moment, I saw her inner strength. Only then did her light penetrate the gray-black thick haze, illuminating the entire world with a brightness ten times that of the previous one.

Sometimes I have to believe that a strong heart may really be born. Otherwise, how could she still not lose the ability to love after experiencing such a huge change, and still have a pair of eyes that can see other people's pain. And no matter how bad the situation was, she didn't think that she had become inferior, she was still working hard to love and live. She gave the bread to the flower girl, and she got a bright rose.

"For the Princess."

The yellow rose with dewdrops in the cold wind makes me cry like rain every time. The flower is almost the image of extradition pain in the movie, and it is also the beginning of a turning point in the whole storyline. The rose is so delicate, but still stubbornly gorgeous against the gray background. After watching the black and gray for so long, suddenly seeing such bright flowers, my heart was really filled with immense melancholy and compassion.
Sara took the flowers, as if she had received the only light, only warmth, and only hope in the vast world, but she gave this hope to another family full of sorrow. It was magic, and every time Sara was about to succumb, she saw the golden light. Can such magic be trust and love between people, or just luck? Everyone has everybody’s explanation. However, the magic finally took effect.

Let’s talk about the principal at this time. I think she should be the most real person in the whole movie, so she is so sharply opposed to Sara. The principal's sleek and sophisticated manners, elegant manners to deliberately contrived, facing the world without the slightest illusion, all this is the complete opposite of Sara. There are many such people in real life than Sarah.
Many people live like this, do not believe in fantasy, do not believe in love that is too perfect and gorgeous, and even sneer at these. The film gave the principal an ending that made the children watching the film clap and applaud, but in reality, people all live slowly like this.

The principal's coldness and snobbery should come from her understanding of the hardships of life. Her childhood and teenage years should be the opposite of Sara's. She should have entered the real world early and resisted the wind and frost alone. From another perspective, her coldness is not wrong, and everyone should live a little more realistically in the real world. Her tears touched my heart slightly, she should also think of her childhood that has been sealed in the dust for a long time.
Could it be that because of this, she became more and more ruthless towards Sara? Sara's words should pierce people's hearts like a sharp blade, making her unavoidable. Perhaps she would wonder why such a girl has clear eyes and firm eyes. Seeing Sara and thinking of herself again, the principal may have a vague hatred in his heart. Her childhood will never come again, and this movie does not need to reverse the case for her. She fulfilled her mission to make what is better and better.

Otherwise, how could there be a happy ending.

Indians who don't make many appearances in golden robes are the key magic incarnation in this movie. It was he who turned Sara’s and Betsy’s dreams into reality, and he asked Mr. Rudolph in the hospital to pick up Sara’s father who had lost his memory. It seemed that at the most critical moment, Sara’s father finally remembered. To his own daughter. Gold and dark green have always been the colors that hinted at the ups and downs of the plot in this movie, and in a golden robe, he finally brought happy ending.
On that dangerous night, lightning tore the sky and everything turned into a downpour, washing away the dark past. The next day, it rained and the sky was clear, and golden flowers were adorned with branches. The dark green brick building was also stained with golden sunlight and became warm. The stories of Indian princes and princesses Sarah told the girls were in the vein of his father, so I don't need to go into details, and this place in India is indeed a place that brings Sarah's imagination to life. In the coldest time, it was the imagination of India that warmed the hearts of the two girls, and in the darkest time, it was the man from India that brought the light of the next day.

When the last music rang, my tears dried up, but the smile was still there. After all, this is a movie for children. It is a story that teaches them about love, about optimism, about beauty, and about being strong. This movie also reminds me of many warm clips, the courage to smile until the end, and the very soft and bright morning after the rainstorm.
There are always movies like this that can make people feel the softness in their hearts again and remember the place where there is no dust. And I think it means that every girl is a princess. Is it a princess not imagined, not deliberately crafted, not comforted, not an illusion, not mysterious nor far away, maybe when you don’t realize it, you just She is already the princess in the hearts of others. laugh.

Perhaps, I can also believe that, in any case, in the darkest time, there will be magic that will let me see the golden light. Just like the bright rose handed to Sara, it can light up the dark world in a flash.
There is always the weakest beauty that can support our lives, and the magic we have will make that beauty even more dazzling. I believe this every time I watch this movie.

Outside that door, the sun was just right and the spring was growing.
