Re: what are your favorite classics?

[philstar22]

A Little Princess was one of my favorite books as a kid. I still love it (and hate both the main movie versions, though a third one exists that is actually close to the book and so much better).

I actually quite like the 1995 film version, despite its gigantic leaps away from the source material; I guess I kind of consider it its own entity? Something about the music and the scenery and the sweet relationship between Sara and Becky really sold me on it.

I've never seen the Shirley Temple one, but I didn't know that another existed! Where could I find that? I'm interested.

This is the one I'm talking about. They've clearly massively upped the price since I bought it a few years ago, but maybe you can find it somewhere else cheeper. It basically follows the plot of the book very closely. It isn't designed to be a blockbuster movie or anything, but as a fan of the book I thought they did a really good job.

Oof, yeah, that's pricy. I'll take a look around and see if I can't find it somewhere else for a more reasonable amount.

Thanks very much for the rec! ♥

I had almost forgotten about how much I hated the movie version I saw. Where the father is miraculously alive at the end.

Plus Sara is not supposed to be blonde.

Re: what are your favorite classics?

[philstar22]

There are two versions where the father is alive: the old Shirley Temple version and the 1995 one directed by Cuaron. Those are the two well-known versions. The third one very few people have actually heard of.

Re: what are your favorite classics?

[sarillia]

I didn't know Cuaron did that second version. I wouldn't have thought he would bring the father back too but maybe he was remaking the Shirley Temple one rather than adapting the book.

Re: what are your favorite classics?

[philstar22]

It seemed like he was adapting the Temple version, anyway. He kept the father thing, took out the romance, and added in the Hindu stuff. But he also changed the setting to America and moved the time period up a little to coincide with WWI.
