It kept giving me a "wow, this is different from the original" feeling until the end. I read the original book three times when I was in junior high school, and while I can still remember it, remember the difference.
At the beginning of the first scene, Heidi took off her clothes and ran with her in her hand. In the original book, the grandfather was disgusting and kind, taciturn, and did not drive Heidi away. On the first day, he used wood to help Heidi make a set of small tables and chairs (the old man is very good at handcraft), and put together a set of tableware. Heidi is observant, smart, and has a strong hands-on ability. This is what makes her grandfather feel good. Heidi also juggles the attic herself, making herself a clean and tidy bed out of sacks and sheets, not the still dusty look the movie shows. Neither of these two important episodes was filmed.
Heidi and grandfather live on the mountain, and their economic situation is no worse than that of the people in the village at the bottom of the mountain. Grandpa goes down the mountain every year to change flour. In addition, in the later period, his attitude gradually changed and he moved to the bottom of the mountain. Clara's family came several times. They all added new things to the house and let Heidi sleep on the same soft bed as Frankfurt.
About winter: Heidi stayed on the mountain for three years. Before the snow closed the mountain, my grandfather went down the mountain to change the food. After that, he stayed in a small house for the whole winter, listening to the whistling of the blizzard at night and shaking with the whole wooden house. The sound of shaking, worried that Pete's house would collapse, and whether Pete's grandmother would be cold and unable to sleep. The next day there was snow and the door could not be opened! Heidi was busy shoveling snow again, until she was sweating, she could never be idle!
Just like the previous year's version of "Little Women", it would be good to do a short series of four or five episodes. Heidi and Pete stayed on the mountain for three years, spending all day with the sheep and recognizing every sheep. In the later period, the three of them played wildly in the mountains all day long. "Two country/mountain children accompanied the lame young master/girl who did not have a mother to play wildly in the wild, breathing the fresh air and basking in the warm sun, the young master/girl became more and more The face is ruddy and I eat more and more.” When I saw this familiar scene, I thought I was reading [Secret Garden] with the wrong book. (After checking the publication date, it was confirmed that Heidi was copied from Secret Garden.) The appearance rate of Pitt's family is also quite high. Especially when grandma learned that Clara's family was coming "mighty", panic was able to take Heidi away for them.
The original book spanned six or seven years, and Heidi was thirteen when Clara finally tried to walk. (Calculations when I was reading the book back then). And the effect of "The Apparition of the Virgin", which looks like a miracle, is Clara's persistent effort, but when Pete and Heidi are holding her from side to side, he always loves to paddle. At that time, Heidi should have been a girl with long arms and legs, and Pete was still a silly boy with a simple mind and jealousy.
I'm not impressed with the Clara family's amusing servants, and I vaguely remember that the Frankfurt chapter was full of high-energy jokes. Heidi and Clara's "escape" caused quite a stir, and the kid who sold newspapers or cigarettes even went to Clara's house to ask for a reward for directions. The Frankfurt chapter perfectly shows the author's writing skills. If it is completely filmed, it will definitely have a comedic effect (German, huh)
Pitt's silly boy met Clark's dad after pushing his wheelchair down the mountain! The "simple village son" didn't even hear the directions, so he rolled down the mountain in fright! This is what I think is the number one laughing point in the original book! It wasn't even photographed!
Heidi in the book is smart, nimble, and energetic, while the movie might just want to express her as an "innocent mountain kid." Maybe that's what I thought when I read the book. But I feel that Heidi has some "premature" qualities. She was thrown at Grandpa's house by her aunt. She was calm and well-behaved. Returning to the mountain from Frankfurt, I took off all the beautiful skirts before running home, not because of inconvenience or dislike, but because I knew that my grandpa didn't like the clothes in the city, and I was afraid that my grandpa would be unhappy when he saw it. Later, when I helped Clara "walk", I was very assertive and called Pete around.
The movie is like a running account, and people who have read the original book have probably gone through the plot in the book. The amount of information is naturally not as much as the original, but it is good to have it. . . The next thing to look forward to is the American film version of Little Women. . .
