"Little Princess": neither fairy tale nor reality

Sarah's writing and eloquence are very good. I thought it was an inspirational story of becoming a writer princess by myself, but I didn't expect it to be a story of becoming a princess by being kind and dad. A kind character is as precious as gold, and Sarah's own behavior is also very charming, but she doesn't give me the feeling that every girl can be a princess, but when you have the capital, you can be a matter of course. Princess. This movie preaches that "every girl is a princess". During the exchange between the principal and Sarah, I saw the possibility that the principal could unravel the knot, but why must she be made into a villain who does all evil, And the ending of the story is that the headmistress turned into a maid to sweep the boiler? Isn't this contradictory? (The headmaster of the cattle-herding class just left the school after being reported. No matter what the female headmaster does, she will not be downgraded to a maid.) Is the headmistress a bad person? I've always had a question, why isn't it weird that there's a black kid maid in this green school that employs child labor? And there are adult maids in the back kitchen of the school. I admit that the headmistress is vitriolic and greedy, but as Sara saw in the streets later, without the protection of the headmaster (although such protection requires the sale of dignity and labor in exchange for room and board), Sara and that child will definitely freeze / starved to death in the streets. Therefore, the headmistress is not a pure bad person, her stupidity like a pig is completely forced by the plot. (Besides, this is a famous school that Sarah's mother attended, how could the headmistress be poisonous and stupid) I didn't expect that the two systems of Indian mythology and Christianity were intertwined. The meaning of the existence of that Indian Mr. what is it? ? ? Also, isn't this movie really Black Britain? When the heir was still alive, the government directly confiscated the property of the deceased non-commissioned officers who fought on the front line [Unexplainable] There is something wrong with Sarah's head, you love your daughter, so send her to a safe and expensive boarding school, and then go to the battlefield with confidence . But have you considered what to do if you are gone, and there are no more relatives in the world? As soon as you are gone, the estate is forfeited and the check from the child's school is broken. This is too guilt~ Finally, I think the principal's words are wrong. It is not only when you have everything that you can imagine, but when you have nothing, you need to imagine.
