To talk about this movie, we have to talk about the original book. Among the stories I read as a child, the Dream of Red Mansions and the Little Prince had the greatest influence on me. A few years ago, there was a wave of Red Mansions, and I, who was abused by the remake, was unconscious, and I was looking forward to this animation for half a year with an uneasy feeling. The film's freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 99 percent. Last year, the movie "Boyhood" got this score. Legend has it that at the premiere in Cannes, audiences from all over the world stood up and applauded for half an hour. The film has received rave reviews around the world before it was released. In this golden autumn and October, I was finally able to see the true face. The movie "The Little Prince" meticulously restored the scenes described in the original book, and brought the dreamy and obscure world in the book and the brave and faintly melancholy image of the little prince to the audience through freeze-frame shooting of hand-painted paper molds. Really feel the sincerity. The second creation based on the original works adopts a dual-perspective parallel narrative structure. The new original part tells, in the words of a friend who accompanies me to watch the film, it is the old cliché of "a single paranoid old man deceives a single parent and a rebellious little loli". The friend also said: Why do French movies always ask uncles and uncles to save young girls who lack fatherly love, "Isn't it okay to leave me alone?" The killer Leon saved Matilda's life and finally caught up with his own. Life, "This old pilot is very good. He will destroy it as soon as he comes up, and he will attack Loli with two golden sentences every now and then. The most terrifying thing is that he suddenly starts to cry. It turns out that Ni Ping is waiting for me here." Understanding why my friend would say that made me cry even more. A boring adult, a refined egoist, a civilized indifference. Just like the original character in the film, the mother with her hair in a messy bun, also insisted on sorting garbage when she threw away the warm and fragrant apology letter from the old pilot with a blank face. Mark Osborn led the "Kung Fu Panda" dream team to present gorgeous and beautiful visual effects with CG animation. Hans Zimmer combined melodious and warm music with traditional French folk songs, bringing a highly contagious listening enjoyment. French cinema has always been romantic and unpredictable, looking for lost innocence from bits and pieces and clutter, and the ferocity of the real world seems to be an adventure that children can experience with a smile. In order to fulfill the wish of the old pilot, the little girl started a journey back to the planet B612. However, there are no more planets of all shapes and sizes, replaced by a gloomy concrete forest that operates on a fixed schedule. The little prince who grew up was no longer brave and curious, and became a cowardly person who was so weak that he didn't even dare to cry. He even sent the little girl to be transformed for self-protection and simplified it into an adult who met the standards on the assembly line. The original storyline is about the experience of joining the WTO and abandoning the so-called "useless" things in life. Curiosity, childlike innocence, dreams, tears... etc. are all "unnecessary", but what kind of adults do we grow into who forget all of this what? What is "necessary" in life? I think it should be those things we spend our whole lives chasing: honor, power, wealth, success...etc. Another reason why I am so looking forward to this movie is that there is my favorite Yi Yang Qianxi in the dubbing of the Chinese version. Both Chinese and English versions have invited a very luxurious dubbing lineup. I have seen the two versions separately. The voice of the fox, Fu Lanlan, is too deadly. This kind of lazy and charming voice is irresistible. But I personally think that the businessman in the English version is the most shocking, and the frantic ridicule at the scrap recycling yard is particularly exciting. However, in the early days of the film, the mother and the little girl kept talking out of rhythm, and there were some dramas. In contrast, the mother Yuan Quan in the middle part is neat and capable and slightly neurotic, the little girls are naturally cute, the pilot Huang Bo's skillful use of the old-fashioned voice, and even the hoarse voice of Rose Zhou Xun sounds so lazy. Charming... Probably because I was preconceived, I felt that the overall level of the Chinese version was higher than that of the British version, and the Q version of the animation image weakened the racial characteristics of the characters, making the Chinese version sound more cordial and credible. Tears are not necessary. The purpose of love is not to get. There are too many futile efforts in life. I have heard a lot of truths, but I still keep being silly. We do a lot to avoid being stupid without realizing that being stupid is actually necessary. The emotional relationships involved in "The Little Prince" include almost everything a person will encounter in his life. From the initiation of ignorant love, to the conclusion of pure friendship, to the separation of life and death. I watched an interview with Yi Yang Qianxi before. He said, "The most impressive plot is the moment when the pilot and the little prince separated, because I was very reluctant." I was thinking that this may be the first time this 14-year-old boy has seriously thought about death. such a title. What does he think when he realizes that his life is really going to pass away? Doubtful? Will you panic? This reminds me of the first time I faced the death of my loved one, I lay in bed for a long time at night, unable to sleep, and felt an unprecedented emptiness and fear: It turns out that life is just like that, it cannot be rejected, and it is destined to be impossible to keep it away. It is not the treacherousness that Yiyi wrote in "The Poem of Xiangyang", nor the grief and anger that Kafka wrote in "The Metamorphoses", and he didn't even have the time to appreciate the presumptuousness and nostalgia that Ziyou swayed in the words. It disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been to this world. What do you get when you come to this world? I do not know. Voldemort asked the little girl, "What kind of person do you want to be when you grow up?" Even if you ask me this question now, I'm still stunned. I should have had a dream, but I have long since forgotten. Every adult was once a child, but only a few remember that. Even if you ask me this question now, I'm still stunned. I should have had a dream, but I have long since forgotten. Every adult was once a child, but only a few remember that. Even if you ask me this question now, I'm still stunned. I should have had a dream, but I have long since forgotten. Every adult was once a child, but only a few remember that.

What can I get? Laughter and tears. Isn't this the best gift the world can get? It is indeed not a necessity of life, but I think the meaning of life lies in those "non-essentials". Not for the event magnets attached to the plan board, not for the icy snow globes placed on the bookshelf, for the light laughter of colorful parachutes falling, and for the sad tears falling in front of the hospital bed. It is these feelings and experiences that make us who we are. Please don't try to grow up so fast and don't send your kids to the makeover and assembly line. The Forgotten's mockery of adventurers is a betrayal of their own failures. Are fairy tales a necessity in life? Fairy tales are a rare gift to human beings. The characters in the film are also changing subtly. The little girl threw off her headband for the first time because she was chasing the pilot's ambulance, The first time my mother lost her hair was the night before school started. This represents the beginning of release and return. The stylized paper-cut stop-motion animation section has a bright and warm overall tone, while the little girl's journey to find the little prince's planet is completely gloomy, like an adult noir fable. The contrast between cool and warm colors can express the author's praise and criticism very clearly. From the very beginning when the little girl questioned the authenticity of the story, to when she fell from the upstairs and fell into a coma, from the fox doll "resurrection nodding" to the dream, the pilot is the guide of the little girl's growth, but her self-seeking is the real growth and "self-healing". The moment Mr. Prince turned back into the little prince was the moment when the little girl completed her self-healing: comprehend, face, accept, and grow. She didn't really spend the night on an adventure to fly a plane with zero experience, but she searched for herself in a dream, and spent one night finishing the hand-bound fairy tale manuscript. The visiting pilot did not tell him what the little prince wanted her to convey, but Knowing that shedding tears also wants to create bonds. On the last day of summer vacation, the little girl learned the most important lesson of her life. The authenticity of an experience lies not in whether it actually happened, but in whether one feels it from the experience. "He wants a sheep to prove that the little prince existed." So again, is it really important to have planet B612? Does it matter if the little prince really appeared? Did the little girl really go through a flying adventure or just had a dream? We can read the deep affection from the words of rose fox and miss them, which proves that they have existed and will always exist in the softest place in our hearts. I can't get that star, but because of him in that vast galaxy, I will feel extremely happy when I look up at the night sky. What I got was the power to believe, and the joy of a loved one. This little star I love: You are gonna make a wonderful grown-up.
