So here I
am, after long time vanishing from blogging, I’m coming back.
Forgive my English it’s not perfect. I learned how to use grammar but still it
messes up all the time in my head. I would be ashamed if any of my friends will
read this post, because, well, um… I’m not a talkative person in front of them,
I’d like to keep everything in my head. Because, they’re not interested to
something like this. And I don’t really like the response from my family and my
boyfriend. So I guess I’ll keep this all by myself, and for all of you readers
(like even they read this)
So tonight,
just another bad day to be through, kinda need something to boost up my mood so
I watched “The Little Prince” which I remembered that my cousin had the book. Well,
I’ve read it of course. But only a quarter-page of whole book because I know I’m
not really smart, hence for a seven-year-old girl I don’t take any interest to
finish the book. I more kind of like into ‘The Fifth’ by Enid Blyton at that
time. I can’t read something implicit, I won’t understand it. Pfff---
So I guess this movie needs a harder way to interpret the meanings, so a kids
somehow with a little experience they had won’t understand this movie. Just
like a seven-years old me who get bored at that time. But I dunno if the kid
has intelligent IQ or something, this would be an easy stuff to understand.
And so,
after years.. fourteen years later, I found the film adaptation from the book
which is amazingly my brain can recall it. It was so amazing! Well, the story
is about a girl, which I don’t remember did she mention her name or not. Well,
her mom was so obsessed to her life. Her life plan. Then the girl failed the
interview test, so they decided to move in to get into the school with an
absurd plan B. Pfft--- this girl just have an aviator as her neighbor. He can
be said, ‘weird’ but with some stories and drawing about ‘The little Prince’
from the aviator, they become close. I personally like, Mr. Fox, he’s cute and
adorable. Well, the problem is her mother didn’t like him, so she try to shut
down the girl’s imagination and make her focus to the ‘future’ that lies ahead.
It just becomes worse when the aviator got sick and the girl tried to save him
by meeting ‘The little prince’ himself. Well, that part is kinda odd and I don’t
really get it. But I interpret that as the way her imagination is alive. I
think she went to the aviator’s house just to find the papers and some things
to fix it. But the way the film showed it, it’s kind of an adventure for her. In
the end, she finds the Little Prince that somehow forget all the fun things he
had been through, but she needs to meet three important characters just like
the story when the prince met them.
The first person that the prince met in his journey was this “Salute’ man.
Well, not bad from the grown-ups perspective, but the prince found it weird. Well,
actually in “The Walk” movie, I remember, Philippe learned from Papa that ‘Salute’
is an expression of honesty. But this man which appears to be a grown-ups,
using salute as a disguise for his own pride. He even can resist when people
clapping their hands for him. I think it’s the way that some grown-ups, using
salute to hide their real feelings. To look humble in front of others, but they
not.
The second person
that met little prince is the King. Well, the king, yeah, feels like rules
everything but actually not. They actually need some certain orders and
requirements to make something happened. So I think he is not a ‘king’ at all. But
here’s the fun fact. The grown-ups, usually, feels they are superior than
others. They can do everything they want, IF it is fulfill the requirement.
Hahaha! So funny! I sometimes think like that when I was younger. They think
that just because their groen-ups, they take control, they have their
responsibilities to keep their children alive, so in return, we need to ‘obey’
what rules that they make, and pay respect.
And the
last person was this an ‘accounting’ businessman? What should I call him? (lol)
well, this person is counting the stars, buy it, and make profit from it. It’s
harder than I thought to interpret the meaning behind this. But well, hey I’m
trying! Pfft--
well, I guess it’s kinda like that grown-ups try to ‘show’ the reality to the
children. They take the ‘dream’ from us by force without asking it first. The way
that the businessman turn the stars into some lights and the ‘child’ stuffs
into paper clip, means that he even use the ‘dreams’ to make us work harder. It
feels like say, “come on, work harder than anything your wishes are, can be
granted.”
In fact, NO! there’s nothing such like that. It’s a bullshit. (pardon my
language)
and so in the end, this movie has taught me something important. To keep remember.
Remember everything, do it to achieve our goals. So in the end, you will smile
with no regret in the end of your life. I adore this movie. This is fantastic.
