Movie Review: A Litte Princess


Director : Alfonso Cuaron


One afternoon while I was browsing the channels for show to watch the movie " A Little Princess" catch my attention . I immediately settle myself since I assume that this is same as the "Princess Sarah" that is being shown here in the Philippines.


The plot is the same as the cartoon " Princess Sarah" but the locations and some situations are different.


The story is all about the a girl who was sent to a boarding school in New York when her father must serve in World War I. The young girl learns that despite the bad treatment from the headmistress, she'll always be a Princess.


Sara Crewe, is a girl who is living a wonderful life in India. She spends her days creating a story about the princess and Indian Gods. But her life was shattered when his Father decided to go to war. Her father takes her to a boarding school in New York. It run by the evil spinster Miss Minchin. Sara haas the ability to create a story and her kindness was immediately recognize by the other girls. Among her best friends is Becky a black servant girl. Sara's life was turned into disaster when she heard the news that his father was dead. and sets up the darma in the movie as well as a predictable ending.


The movie have flaws but can be forgiven and it was well edited.


I can't forget the scene that Sara Crewe has to shout to Miss Minchin the words " Every girl everywhere is a princess regardless of what they wear and status".


This can be recommended to youngsters or to others who would like to watch something light and can be a tress buster at the same time.
