I don't know why I laughed so much at that time.
I have this original book at home, the first edition of the Shanghai translation, translated by Ren Rongrong, it is relatively smooth to read, and I can read it completely in a few hours, but I don't like the cover and interior decoration of the book very much. Among the translation classics, this one has the worst binding.
"Xia Network's Network" once again entered my field of vision, in the form of a movie. When Wilbur the pig appeared, it was exactly what White described as "a little white pig". As for the cuteness, I can't say much, after all, I'm out of the age of petting small animals. Perhaps it is the mentality of an adult like me. No matter at the beginning of the original book or the movie, Wilbur was faced with the killing of his master, Arable, which also set a vaguely disturbing tone for the subsequent development of the story.
But White's handling was that the killing and the danger it continued were only a threat, and what Wilbur was really afraid of was the inexplicable loneliness of life, the rain shattering its precise living time, and not a single animal in the corral wanted to make peace with It plays together. Under such circumstances, the spider Xia Luo later helped Wilbur escape the killing of humans, which was actually just an extension of their friendship.
That's not the point of the movie, which characterizes Wilbur as a spring pig from the start, and presupposes that Wilbur cannot escape Christmas's smoked end. The tender scream in Arable's hands when it was born, and the inner horror when it broke through the fence and faced the smokehouse are all good proofs. And all of this happened before Xia Luo appeared.
The two different treatments gave me two different feelings when reading and watching. Reading is to experience the journey of friendship between Wilbur and Xia Luo, while watching a movie is to wait for Xia Luo to weave a web to save Wei. Albert's. Starting from spring and ending with snow in winter, I have experienced two different types of fairy tales.
As for which type is better, it may be a matter of opinion. After all, there are still differences between pictures and text.
One of the things I can't accept in the movie is that Fern, the eight-year-old girl who snatched Wilbur from her father, Arable, is portrayed as a flirtatious girl who meets the first boy of her life. . In the original book, Fern also met the boy she liked, but it was purely the beginning of a friendship.
Why is it called friendship? I think the appearance of Fern and the boy is actually the reflection and inheritance of Wilbur and Xia Luo in human beings.
