A lot of plots have been deleted, which is understandable. The movie has a tight schedule, so naturally it cannot show the original work one by one. But even the characters of Grandpa and Heidi have been changed, which is a bit too much.
Heidi is a really infectious little girl in the original book. She has never been afraid of her grandfather. If it was Heidi in the original book, she would definitely refute Pete on the spot, and then directly ask her grandpa if he had killed anyone.
Grandpa is clearly a tough guy in the original book. His heart is not so fragile. Before meeting Heidi, he could be said to be a die-hard, and grandpa is very opinionated and knowledgeable. From the original book, he can talk to Clara's grandma. Being a confidant can be seen, and in the movie Grandpa drinking with Grandma Clara is embarrassing.
In the original book, Grandpa guided Heidi's growth. He told Heidi that if he didn't wash his face, Father Sun would make a joke. Grandpa is a wise, insightful, skillful, opinionated, and extremely dignified person. He has a diehard feeling of hunting in Africa alone with hunting dogs and hunting guns. The grandfather in the movie is completely a lonely old man, going down the mountain and holding Heidi's hand tightly...
The reason why the grandfather of the original book moved readers is precisely because he is a rational person, but the love that a rational person expresses for his granddaughter is naturally moving. Before Heidi left, he said something very interesting. He didn't want Heidi to come back with a gorgeous hat (grandpa is really a die-hard?), Heidi came back and gave the hat to Pete's mother, put on her own broken hat and came back, Because she firmly remembered what her grandfather said.
The touching part of "Heidi" lies in the giving and repayment of love, Heidi and grandpa, Heidi and grandma (two), Heidi and Clara, Heidi and the doctor... The beauty of human nature is expressed by the writer Incisively and vividly, we may say that this kind of feeling does not exist, including the ending that the whole village has changed their views on Grandpa, everyone came to shake hands with Grandpa, the doctor settled in the Alps, and raised Heidi with Grandpa, these plots are unrealistic, However, the beauty of fairy tales lies in this.
Please have a reasonable discussion, don't scold when you come up.

The unified reply: I basically have a tolerant attitude towards original works, because there are various ways of expressing ideas. Although I am willing to contact them, although I may not accept them, I cannot treat an adaptation with such a relaxed attitude.
This film review was also written a long time ago. At that time, the film review did not discuss the shortcomings of the film itself, because the film's shortcomings were a bit big, and it couldn't make me interested after watching it. It was like drinking a glass of boiled water, and the characters also had a stereotyped sense of disappointment. So avoid talking about it, and people who watch movies have their own aesthetics, accept it if they can, and don’t watch it if they can’t.
In response to some of the answers, I would like to say that the adaptation has one more responsibility than the original. It is the responsibility of the second creation. You can fine-tune it or make a big change. There are no such successful cases as "Green Snake", and none of those successful cases. Not based on taking the original book seriously. But this movie gave me the feeling that the original book was used as a Hollywood story template, which was very perfunctory, so I was in a mood to vent my anger when I wrote a movie review at that time.
I also ask some blind people to see clearly. Some people are not talking about the shortcomings of this movie. They did not express it clearly. Let me tell them that the flaws of this movie are stereotypes. Works adapted from hard work are easy to distinguish. You can look at the original book "Green Snake", the movie "Green Snake" and the play "Green Snake". One is better than the other. "Farewell My Concubine" can also be compared to the original movie. Editing is really hard work.
Now many people will say why the original party is so happy and mean. I believe that most of the original party are still rational. After watching "Langya Bang", the reason why everyone also loves TV series is because they feel that TV series are really there. Respect the original, and make changes. In the final analysis, the original party such as me is indignant and still feels that it has not treated the original well.
The adaptation is based on the original book, and the fame of the original book makes me not interested in movies. People who watch movies probably put the cart before the horse. I watch movies because of the original book.
Movie reviews are actually just personal opinions. If you don’t like to watch them, you can skip them. If you come up with personal attacks, I will delete them. I write a review just so that other people with the same opinion will see it, and I think, yes I feel the same way! Therefore, those who do not agree can not convince me if they write it out. It is better to change the tone and share with me a new point of view.
