Two days ago in the NetEase cloud to listen to the song, just heard "I am a girl like you", June 1 festival, I will "Barbie's true and false princess" re-watched.

I remember when "Frozen" first came out, people who watched it praised it, and when I was taking a live webcast class on a certain platform, I was invited by the lecturer to talk about the aftermath.

I said, "I thought it was OK, I didn't think it was amazing." ”

Then I was "hugged."

The little sister exaggerated "Frozen", saying that its bold breakthrough innovation, such as the "kiss of true love" is no longer completed by the prince, the whole movie is actually two heroines helping each other, the prince has actually become a villain and so on.

But in my opinion, except for the first time I met the prince as a clear villain, the other character settings did not surprise me a lot.

"True Love Kiss" has tried to make a new breakthrough in 2009's "The Princess and the Frog".

The prince (or male protagonist) is no longer the image of "Wei Guangzheng", which is reflected in "The Princess and the Frog" and "Rapunzel".

As for sisterhood, Girls help Girls, 2004's Barbie's True and False Princess is 9 years before Frozen.

After re-watching Barbie's True and False Princess, I found that the film made more than one or two breakthroughs.

01

The first is a very clear double heroine setting.

The protagonists of the film are very clear, that is, Princess Annalise and the seamist Erica, the story is adapted from Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Poor Child", and the two male characters in the story, Julian the butler and the King of Dominica, are assisted.

When Annalise and Erica are in trouble, they both try to save themselves, rather than waiting to be saved.

The second is the two girls helping each other and feeling sorry for each other.

In addition to looking alike, the two also have a common heart, and the similarities between the two have been made very clear in the song "I am a girl like you".

I'm just like you

I'm just like you

you are

Is it?

You're just like me

You're just like me

There's somewhere else we'd rather be

Looking forward to going to a place,

Somewhere that's ours

A place that belongs to us

Somewhere that dreams come true

There our dreams will come true.

After the first encounter, knowing that Erica's dream was to be a singer, the princess said to her: "In the future, I must invite you to sing in the palace, I will send someone to inform you, I will not forget." ”

When Julian came to Erica to impersonate the princess, Erica knew that she might go to jail or even worse after wearing the gang, but she knew that the princess was in trouble, so she agreed.

Again, the two girls are always clear-headed and brave enough to take responsibility.

The princess liked Julian as a housekeeper, but she knew that as a princess of a country, she had to bear the responsibilities, so the queen asked her to marry the king of Dominic in exchange for the king's financial support, and she did not refuse.

After discovering the amethyst produced in the mine, she knew that she could make her country and people rich by this, and she did not have to marry the king of Dominica, so she took the initiative to confess to Julian.

Erica's parents owed Mrs. Ka a lot of money in order to support her, which led to the fact that when she became an adult, she had to work as a tailor for Mrs. Ka like her mother, but she never shirked her responsibilities and actively tried to make money.

After the princess thanked her for helping her pay off her debts, she refused the marriage proposal of King Donik, went to the world alone, realized her dream of becoming a singer, understood her heart, and came to Dominica with a ring.

Finally, in addition to the protagonist, the supporting characters are also very interesting.

The queen is also a very responsible role, dedicated to the country and the people. For the happiness of the people, in desperation, he let his daughter marry a strange king, and the minister lied to her that after her daughter died, she agreed to the minister's marriage proposal for the sake of the people.

Whether it was the turn of her head when she accepted the proposal ring, or her expression and body language at the wedding, it was full of disgust for the marriage, but she did not run away, she said: "It is all for my people." ”

I don't know if I'm "over-interpreting", but I think I see the discussion of the topic of "identity" in Erica's cat.

The cat can only bark, not cat bark, when it tries to change itself, wants to make a cat bark, Erica tells it: "You don't need to change yourself, you should change your own point of view, I love you as you are, this love will never change." ”

This 2004 work is indeed not clear enough, the technology is not mature enough, and the bad guys are very facial, the action is very contrived, but the flaws are not hidden, it is better to say that these flaws, let me re-watch, found a new laugh.

After many years of re-watching, it will still be moved, it will be laughed at, this is the charm of a good movie.

Although most of Barbie's movies have no subtitles, Chinese dubbing is only accompanied by dialogue, and the songs are partly pure english, it was a bit difficult to understand the meaning as a child, but none of this prevented me from liking the Barbie series of movies.

In many movies in the Barbie series, Barbie is the real protagonist, and when things happen, they will give priority to finding their own ways to solve them, rather than waiting to be saved.

She was not only beautiful, but also smart, brave, kind, and responsible, and I was glad I met her at such a young age.
