Alfonso Cuaron's A Little Princess

[(Anonymous)]

left no aspect of Sara's character and no major plot point unfucked. Sara did not pretend she was a princess to bolster her self-esteem; she pretended she was a princess to remind herself to behave like one--with courage, magnanimity, fairness and courtesy. She would not have pretended to put an "Indian" curse on Lavinia (that was a big wtf). She would not have encouraged Miss Amelia to run away with the milkman. The whole end of the movie, with her scrambling across the alley on a plank in the rain just ahead of the police, was so ridiculous I couldn't care whether she fell three stories and broke her neck or not. And Captain Crewe needed to be and stay dead.

Having seen the movie first, I will say I liked them both. (It's easy to like both the movie and the book when one sees the movie first, I have found.) But I think I do like the novel more. It was a lot more conceptually complex, and I was surprised by how different the two were. The movie feels like it was inspired by the book, but not much more than "inspired by."

I was amazed by the degree to which the novel was a commentary on society's attitudes towards the wealthy, as well as the nature of living in poverty vs. living in wealth. The movies (IIRC) cut so much of those themes out that they really didn't come through at all.
