Did you know that there’s a film adaptation of The Little Prince? Neither did I, until I randomly downloaded it and watched it today.
Here is my judgment on it: everything about it is splendidly perfect except for the kid’s hair. His hair is really, really bad. It is 80s rock star bad. Even worse, it’s Rod Stewart bad. There might need to be a new category to describe this actor’s hair: 70s child star bad.
Also, the movie is actually a musical. Somehow a major movie studio took one of the most touching and poignant books written in the 20th century and filled it with corny song and dance, and still didn’t manage to ruin it. But I should point out that it is kind of dizzying how they spin around so much. And it could stand to be a hell of a lot shorter, but is stretched out impossibly by five or ten minutes at a time of useless frolicking as they sing another pointless song. But yeah, check it out.
B"H
Yeah. I like Gene Wilder and Bob Fosse, but not this movie, and not them in this movie.
BTW, I'm dying to know, what IS your fascination with The Little Prince?
Do you identify with him somehow?
Doesn't everyone identify with him?
Um,… I can't say. Even so, how do YOU identify with him?
I identify with other characters more so.
I will agree, that this book can evoke hours of discussion, but because of the various themes brought.
