Canada Movie Reviews of The Little PrincessMovie Review: Painful
This movie is nothing like the book. Some of the names are the same. The book is about a girl who loses everything and overcomes to become better because of it. This movie is about a spoiled brat. You must remember that both "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden" are a retelling of the author's life story. While the author changed several things to make it interesting the underlying theme was dear to her heart and the reader is able to feel the emotion that was poured into the pages of those books. The script for "The Little Princess" does not have that feeling. In fact, we are given the impression that people call Sara The Little Princess because she pouts when she doesn't get her way. In the book, Sara believes that she should try to act like what she thinks a princess should act like, even when bad things happen. This does not change the fact that she has feelings, but she struggles to control them because that is what a princess must do. In the end she is blessed with the wealth of a princess, but it is not until after she has proven her worth. |
