Book review: The little prince (Le petit prince)




"The Little Prince is a book for children written for grown-ups. This gentle, bittersweet fable can be a hard sell for kids: Poetic language, symbolic scenes, and philosophical discussions make it a better fit for older readers." (rotten tomatoes & IMDB)

BUT, the movie rendition is more subtle an easier to digest. As i recalled, Juwita LOVE every bit of the scene and her emotion easily carried away with the characters: little girl, the aviator, the little prince, the fox, and the rose. 




At the end of the day, i believe she got
what the movie is all about. I believe the little prince is a great movie for you to bond with your little kid. As this piece of movie can be fun for kid,  it brings a heavier discussion among adult as the story is philosophical and includes social criticism, remarking on the strangeness of the adult world (which is true!). 




It is a reminder for parents: kid will always be kid, and we should stop preparing them for grown up world (to be like us) too soon! Its a reminder that we should encourage creativity and possibility of dreams, and stop making a path for our little one. Its a reminder that each one of the kid will know their path, if we let them explore their own dreams and possibility, or else, we just let them be exactly like us, just part of the system. 

In a movie rendition, "A little girl lives in a very grown-up world with her mother, who tries to prepare her for it (the best college, diploma, degree, work... Bla bla bla) Her neighbor, the Aviator, introduces the girl to an extraordinary world where anything is possible, the world of the Little Prince." (IMDB)




This movie is highly recommended for kid and parent! Me and Juwita love this movie so much. Please watch it mom and dad, because this movie is actually, for you.
