This winter, I have heard too much bad news, some of which make people feel out of anger, and then suspect the bottom line of human nature to do evil;
It is true that there are sorrows and joys, every year, people are on the road, and they also come to the end of the year without knowing it. The calendar is about to turn to the new year. Even if we are cruel and powerless against reality, we are still full of hope for the future. For the children in our arms, we tell more heart-warming stories, and work hard for our children and ourselves. Weaving beautiful fairy tales.
If you find a country of coordinates for fairy tales, it must be in Switzerland. Because it is secluded from the world, there is no war, but there are tranquil lakes and mountains, snow-capped Alps and ancient pendulum clocks.
On Christmas Eve in 1879, the Swiss children's writer Johanna Spire told the children of the world and those who love children a timeless story, "Little Heidi" (also translated as The Girl of the Alps), which This classic work on the theme of truth, goodness and beauty has not only been designated as a children's education book, but has also been adapted into a movie by many countries around the world, and the box office is good. In 1937, the famous American child star Shirley Temple starred in "Heidi", which is the earliest and most famous adaptation of the film. She vividly restored the innocent, cute, smart and kind little Heidi in the novel.
The story takes place in a peaceful and ancient town in Switzerland, nestled at the foot of the Alps, surrounded by endless fields, and it takes trains and carriages to reach the bustling Frankfurt.
The little protagonist Heidi is an 8-year-old orphan. After her parents died, she was raised by her aunt for five years. Unexpectedly, after her aunt found a new job in Frankfurt, she threw her like a package to her eccentric grandpa who had never met. Around Christmas, little Heidi experienced a series of unusual stories, with tragic beginnings and happy endings.
At the film level, we can skip it a little. In the 1930s, it was the first golden age of Hollywood in the United States. People were crazy and rejoicing for movies from silent films to sound films. Therefore, in that era, more emphasis was placed on the use and expression of sound elements. Songs and dances were often inserted in films, such as Shirley Temple's tap dancing has become a square dance in several movies. Judging from the current critical eye, it has a single set of characters, facialized performances, rough shots, etc. Its comprehensive artistry is definitely far less than the 2015 German version of "Heidi and Grandpa".
But, for me, it's enough to have Shirley Temple, even if she just stomps on the screen and smiles, I will give 5 stars wisely, because the flash itself will glow without the flash on the screen. There is no other child star besides her.
Let's talk about the people in the movie. Simply look, it is the little angel pk old witch.
What the old witches have in common is greed, selfishness, and using children as tools for profit. Whether it was Heidi's aunt or Miss Clara's housekeeper, everyone who hurt Heidi could be sentenced to seven or eight hundred years.
I wondered why in the film and television works, in social reality, most of the direct participants in child abduction and child abuse are women?
Heidi's aunt gave little Heidi to the villagers who were not optimistic, and the grandfather, who was unanimously negative, was understandable. After all, she had raised her niece for five years, and life forced her to go to the city to work. The blood-related grandfather and grandson , it couldn't be worse, and she knew that Heidi was adaptable.
But when the grandfather and grandson established a deep relationship and depended on each other for life, she cruelly and secretly took Heidi away and tricked her into becoming a maid in a noble family, and the reward would go into her own pocket. She knew very well how much the housekeeper was. Vicious, as long as he can earn more money, his niece's life can be sacrificed.
But the slap still has to be rewarded to this female housekeeper who is full of bad water. It can be said that she is a few Gs worse than Madam Rong in "Han Zhu Gege".
She oppresses the little owner with a disabled leg, Miss Clara, a left-behind child, trying to make the little girl sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, so that she can rest easy, not worry about getting fired, and enjoy a high salary by herself. After good-natured little Heidi spoils her scheme, she tricks Heidi out of the house on Christmas night and sells her to a horrible mad woman. It's not over yet. After Heidi was rescued, she bit back again, framing the grandfather who rescued Heidi for robbing her child.
Just like the characters in the early movies, the bad guys are only worse, not the worst, and sometimes it is impossible to guard against it. We have to carefully consider everything around us, and use indifference to guard against unknown goodwill.
The world of children is not so complicated. In their view, there are only two types of people, those who are fun and those who are not fun.
Little Heidi felt that the people around her, even the grass and trees, the mountains and the sea, were all fun, it was so interesting.
The big villa of the noble family, the spacious and luxurious rooms, and the exquisite little dress could not stop her homesickness.
The people in the village are isolated from the rest of the world, with a violent and impoverished grandfather. She is a newcomer, but she is not afraid at all. Every day, she hums a happy little song, helps her grandfather with her work, and puts flowers in vases. In this way, Heidi used a warm smile to resolve her grandfather's ruthlessness, and brought the distance between her and her grandfather little by little. After the loss of his son, the taciturn grandfather brightened his heart, loved his little granddaughter very much, and regained people's respect.
When she was little, she also did a great thing. With her encouragement, Miss Clara, who had been in a wheelchair for a long time, overcame her inferiority complex and fear, stood up miraculously, and finally could not only walk, but also run. Little Heidi is the embodiment of an angel.
When the child is older, I will recommend "Heidi" to him. I hope he can be like Heidi and face the menu that fate gives you without fear. What are you afraid of? If life gives you a punch, then Bravely go up to it and give it a slap; where there is sunshine, there will be shadows. Be like Heidi, be a warm person, feel the warmth and coldness of the world, and still move forward with kindness.
In 2018, may every child be safe and happy.
