A Little Princess
Hi everyone! I picked up a movie yesterday called A Little Princess. I had read the book, but I hadn't seen the movie. I thought, "It should be interesting to compare the movie to the book." With that in mind, I bought it.
The movie was a touching story about a little girl named Sara Crewe. Sara's father, Mr. Crewe, had to go into war. He put Sara under the responsibility of Miss Minchin's Seminary for Girls. When they arrived, Miss Minchin was there to greet them. She seemed very kind. The cold truth was that she was more interested in Sara's wealth rather than Sara herself. Miss Minchin lead the way to little Sara's room. While there, Mr. Crewe had to bid farewell to his daughter, for his boat would leave in a few minutes. He gifted his little princess a doll from France which he named Emily. "Whenever you miss me dearly," he said to Sara, "tell Emily. She will send me a message no matter where I am. When you hug her, you'll really be getting a hug from me." he finished. Sara hugged her father till it was time for him to leave. He then got up, and as he was about to shut the door he said, "Goodbye, my little princess."
The next day, while attending French class, Sara noticed a servant. She was about the same age as her. Becky, was her name All the girls avoided Becky, and while everyone had a wonderful room, she slept in the attic. Sara tried numerous times to befriend her, but she couldn't get close enough. Sara's wish finally came true on her eleventh birthday when a message from war about her father devastated her. Mr. Crewe had died in the war a few weeks back. The government had seized all his property and money. Since Miss Minchin no longer had a reason to treat Sara like a princess or even a regular student, she made her a servant girl like Becky. Sara's new room was located up in the attic. Although she was no longer allowed in the classes as one of the other girls, Sara still managed to act like a princess. She befriended Becky, and her old friends snuck up at night to visit her.
Across the street was a man, Mr. Randolph, who had been observing the two girls. That night, when they slept without a proper dinner, he arranged a feast for them. When the girls woke up, they pounced on the food as if they hadn't eaten for centuries. Mr.Randolph's son had gone into war. When he got a call from the hospital, he rushed to see his son. Unfortunately, they had the wrong person. The young man who lay in the hospital cot was not his son. But instead of just leaving the unidentified injured man there, the kind Mr. Randolph took him home. Meanwhile, things for Sara had not improved. In fact, they had gotten worse. Miss Minchin had found a necklace in Sara's room. Infuriated, she telephoned the police to come arrest her. Frightened, Sara ran out of the seminary and into Mr. Randolph's house and hid herself, by that time, the man from the hospital had healed, but he had no memory of what had happened in the past. The man, who was in fact Mr. Crewe, found Sara hiding behind a table. She recognized him as her father, but the he hadn't the faintest idea of what she was talking about. Sara pleaded him to remember her, but he couldn't put the pieces together. At last, the doors of the house broke open. There were the authorities, dressed in their blue jackets and boots. They rushed towards Sara, took her out into the pouring rain, and were about load into their van, when Mr. Crewe had this strange feeling. He felt some connection to Sara. Then he remembered her, he remembered the seminary and the war. His memory had returned! Mr. Crewe sped outside and grabbed his little princess. They were finally reunited.
As you can see, this one of a kind story is quite captivating. It teaches you that family is important, and that they are always with you, no matter where you are. I hope you liked my little preview, and always remember one thing..."All Girls are Princesses."
