Recently, many people have become fans of the movie "Heidi and Grandpa".
The incomparably clear and beautiful scenery of the Alps in the movie, each frame of the picture can be set as the desktop background image, which is so beautiful that it is breath-taking. In addition, the characters appearing in the film are all exquisite dresses of the nineteenth century in Europe. The ladies with waists and straight waists and men with gentlemanly demeanor also make many audiences indulge in the beauty.
The film "Heidi and Grandpa" is adapted from the Swiss children's literature author Johanna The novel "Heidi" written by Spely has a strong autobiographical color. Published between 1880 and 1881, this novel is a recognized classic in the history of Western literature and a must-read for children in English-speaking countries. At present, the novel has been translated into more than 70 languages, and eight or nine versions have been adapted into movies.
The reason why the film "Heidi and Grandpa" is popular around the world is that, in addition to the beautiful natural scenery and the pure and beautiful heart and smile of the protagonist Heidi, the biggest influencing factor is inseparable from the ingenious structural design.
The structure of "Heidi and Grandpa" is very simple, just two words: opposition .
Regional Opposition: The Alps and Frankfurt
At the beginning of the movie, we see Aunt Date hurried up the mountain with Heidi to find her grandfather, with the villagers following Date restlessly, persuading her not to leave her child to the stubborn, strange old man on the mountain. However, Date, who found a job in Frankfurt, couldn't care less and threw Heidi to her grandfather who had never met.
This is Dette's first appearance, and she throws Heidi into nature's embrace.
Heidi looked at the beautiful scenery in amazement, her eyes were intoxicated, she involuntarily took off her coat and chased bees and butterflies, just as she said to Peter later, she liked the scenery here, and it was just a room in her aunt's house. Later, Clara's grandmother also said that Heidi's nature was suitable for growing up in nature.
In the embrace of the Alps, Heidi was drinking fresh goat milk, running barefoot in the mountains, lying on the grass and bathing in the clear sunshine. Nature, giving Heidi a vibrant energy and a grinning look.
As educators say, nature is a child's best teacher.
However, getting along with my grandfather in the Alps was only a short stay. When Date appears a second time, she takes Heidi to a wealthy villa in Frankfurt.
Everything in this big house is upbringing that has been baptized by modern civilization: you are not allowed to talk to your servants, you must use honorific names for your servants, you must eat and you must stand, and you must learn abstract English letters. For Heidi, the saddest thing was not being able to go back to the Alps, staying in Frankfurt and climbing the tallest tower without seeing a single mountain.
In the city of Frankfurt, Heidi, who was far away from nature, was traumatized, and every night she opened the door like a sleepwalker and looked at the other side.
In the city of Frankfurt, Clara, who has never been in contact with nature, was paralyzed in a wheelchair because of her mother's death. According to psychoanalysis, Clara's inability to walk is a kind of hysteria, a psychological trauma rather than a physical disease.
Of course, the most effective medicine to cure children is to return to nature. Heidi returned to her grandfather and regained her happy look. The grass grower in the Alps healed Clara's loss of her mother. You can walk downstairs.
From this, Johanna? The Alps in Spire's writings represent the beauty of nature and the nature of children, and Frankfurt is a modern urban civilization that represents human beings. In the city, eight-year-old Heidi and twelve-year-old Clara were both ill, and nature healed them.
In view of this, it is not difficult to find that the opposition between the Alps and Frankfurt is the contrast and conflict between nature and modern urban civilization, and Johanna? Spely holds a critical attitude towards the development of children's nature that is restrained by modern civilization, which is a typical view of natural education.
The directing method of the film "Heidi and Grandpa" shows the author's point of view by constructing a stark contrast between the darkness and heaviness of Lankford's picture and the bright and cheerful Alps.
Contradictions of Characters: Heidi and Clara
Here I have to remind you: Heidi lived in the Frankfurt villa because Clara was unhappy, and her father wanted to please her and found a reading partner.
Behind the unhappy Clara is the empty house, a father who is often absent and a stern housekeeper. Clara, who is still in her nature, bought a few kittens on the street. If it wasn't for the kind-hearted servant to help feed them, they would be thrown out of the house by the housekeeper.
Clara was born in a city and grew up in a wealthy family, but good family education and decent etiquette cannot make her happy. Her darkness and depression are all caused by modern civilization.
The turning point of Clara's life was the appearance of Heidi, a savage child who had not received any school education. Heidi's innocent smile and kind heart gave Clara a lot of emotional comfort. The people standing behind Heidi seem to be cold but actually soft-hearted grandfather, Peter the sheep, Tinette, the maid who loves nature, and Sebastian, the servant.
So, when Clara's father finds out that the sleepwalker is Heidi, he faces a conflict: Heidi stays in Frankfurt, mentally ill; Clara will be even more unhappy when Heidi returns to the Alps.
The person who reconciled the contradiction between Clara and Heidi is Clara's grandmother, a woman who is full of life wisdom, a woman who understands the mystery of nature and the laws of children's physical and mental growth. She asked Clara to go to the Alps to find Heidi, untie the clothes that bound her body and mind, and return to a simple, primitive life in nature.
The eighteenth-century French Enlightenment thinker Rousseau said: "Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains."
The film "Heidi and Grandpa" designed the opposition of regions, people and overall structure. The purpose is to show the contrast and conflict between nature and urban civilization, so that the audience can realize that children's nature yearns for unrestrained nature. The civilization of the city is the shackles that bind the body and mind. Return to nature, and people will be happier than before.
