Little Prince：the Classical Work 小王子：永恒的經(jīng)典

石聞熙

On October 16，2015，the Chinese version of Little Prince，the 3D animated fantasy film，which was adapted from the literature of the same name written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery，hit the screen.Directed by Mark Osborne，the movie has caused resonance of countless people and touched people's touching nerves.

2015年10月16日，改編自安東尼·德·圣埃克蘇佩里同名文學(xué)作品、由馬克·奧斯本執(zhí)導(dǎo)的3D動(dòng)畫奇幻電影《小王子》的中文配音版上映，一時(shí)引起無數(shù)人的共鳴，觸動(dòng)了人們善感的神經(jīng)。

Published a year before Saint-Exupery disappeared somewhere over Corsica in his Lockheed P-38 fighter plane，The Little Prince took its inspiration from an earlier air disaster，in which the author，trying to break the record time in a Paris-Saigon race，crashed in the Sahara desert，near the Nile delta.From that，Saint-Exupery spun a fanciful，faintly ethereal fable about a downed airman who finds himself face-to-face with a curious，blond-haired young boy who claims to be the sole inhabitant of a distant asteroid（#B-612），and who regales the pilot with tales of the interplanetary travels that eventually brings him to earth.

《小王子》這本書是圣?？颂K佩里開著自己的洛克希德P-38戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)在科西嘉島上空某個(gè)地方消失前一年出版的，靈感來源于早前的一場(chǎng)空難。那場(chǎng)災(zāi)難中，作者試圖打破巴黎到西貢飛行比賽的紀(jì)錄，但卻意外墜落在尼羅河三角洲附近的撒哈拉沙漠中。從那件事中，圣埃克蘇佩里構(gòu)想出一個(gè)關(guān)于落難的飛行員和一個(gè)小男孩面對(duì)面的離奇、有些許不現(xiàn)實(shí)的寓言故事。這個(gè)好奇的小男孩有著一頭金發(fā)，自稱是一個(gè)遙遠(yuǎn)星球（B-612）的唯一居住者，他和這名飛行員分享自己星際旅行的經(jīng)歷，并最終把他帶回了地球。

Those adventures consist largely of meetings with puffed-up，self-important adults who imagine themselves to be powerful despots but are，in fact，just orbiting the universe alone on their own similarly uninhabited rocks.There are also touches of melancholy romance and a darkly poetic ending that can be interpreted as either a salvation or a suicide.Seventy years later，the book's influence can be seen in everything from The English Patient to The Lego Movie.

這些冒險(xiǎn)很大一部分講述了小男孩和一些目空一切、自以為是的大人的相遇。他們自以為是大權(quán)在握的君主，但事實(shí)上，他們不過是在自己無人居住的星球上獨(dú)自徘徊于宇宙罷了。故事中也不乏些許憂郁的浪漫情調(diào)，和一個(gè)含糊、有詩意的結(jié)局，這個(gè)結(jié)局既可解讀為一種救贖，亦可解讀為自殺。七十年后，從《英國(guó)病人》到《樂高大電影》，這本書的影響隨處可見。

However，it seems to be a common practice that when a movie happens to be an adaptation of one of the most beloved novels of all time，the potential for disappointment looms especially large.However，director Mark Osborne's The Little Prince turns out to be a respectful，lovingly reimagined take-on of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's classic 1943 tale，which adds all manner of narrative bells and whistles to the author's slender，lyrical story of friendship between a pilot and a mysterious extraterrestrial voyager.

然而，一直以來，似乎有這樣一個(gè)規(guī)律：當(dāng)影片恰巧改編自深受廣大讀者喜愛的小說時(shí)，人們失望的可能性會(huì)更大。但事實(shí)證明，由馬克·奧斯本執(zhí)導(dǎo)的《小王子》是對(duì)安東尼·德·圣?？颂K佩里1943年經(jīng)典之作的重現(xiàn)——既尊重原著，又十分有愛。電影以形形色色的敘事，為原作者情節(jié)簡(jiǎn)單、抒情詩調(diào)的故事錦上添花。

The movie Little Prince is shot from the perspective of a pilot and describes a series of experiences traveling from the outer space to the earth made by the little prince who lived alone on an extraterrestrial planet before.By means of the prince's perspective and footprint，the movie sets people thinking about the ultimate value of life and the adulthood.

影片《小王子》以一個(gè)飛行員的敘事口吻，講述了一個(gè)孤獨(dú)存在于外星球上的小王子，從太空出發(fā)到地球的過程中的一系列神奇經(jīng)歷。作品通過小王子的眼光和足跡，對(duì)人生的終極意義和成人世界進(jìn)行了發(fā)人深省的拷問。

九歲的小女孩和望女成鳳的媽媽相依為命住在都市叢林里，媽媽期望她進(jìn)入一所好的學(xué)校。小女孩遵照吩咐拼命努力學(xué)習(xí)著，但搬遷到新家以后，隔壁一個(gè)老人送來的紙飛機(jī)引起了小女孩的興趣。老人有些古怪，白天總在修理壞掉了的飛機(jī)，晚上則用望遠(yuǎn)鏡眺望著遠(yuǎn)方的天空。有一天，女孩瞞過母親和老人成為了好朋友。老人告訴女孩，過去年輕的時(shí)候，自己曾是飛機(jī)駕駛員，他駕駛的飛機(jī)曾被迫降落在沙漠中，在那里他遇到了很不可思議的小男孩，老人對(duì)女孩說：“那個(gè)男孩，從小小的星球來，并且和一朵玫瑰花是很要好的朋友。”那是他以前對(duì)誰都沒有說過的故事。兩個(gè)人友好相處著，直到有一天老人病倒了。女孩為實(shí)現(xiàn)老人想再見小王子的愿望，在夜里坐飛機(jī)踏上了去尋找小王子的旅程。在那前方，是誰也不知道的快樂和冒險(xiǎn)在等著他們……

Some audience was quite shocked at the movie and commented：“The movie urges us to look back on the simple happiness in the past.All of us have once experienced childhood and pure joy.However，slowly along the way we passed，we gained and lost something，such as happiness and dream，which is a pity.Once it comes to us，we cannot help but sigh.After watching the movie，l was completely shocked，because it was not merely a simple animation we supposed it to be，but can arouse us thinking about many things worth contemplation.It is such a great movie.”

看過電影之后，有觀眾深感震撼，他們這樣評(píng)價(jià)：“電影能讓我們以一個(gè)過來人的眼光看待曾經(jīng)的那些簡(jiǎn)單的快樂。誰都有過童年，有過單純的快樂。慢慢地一路走過，我們一路獲得，一路失去，有很多曾經(jīng)的夢(mèng)想跟快樂慢慢地在人生中丟掉了，這是很遺憾的。現(xiàn)在再看的時(shí)候不禁唏噓。看過影片之后，我完全被震撼了，因?yàn)樗皇俏覀円詾榈暮?jiǎn)單的動(dòng)畫，而是促使我們?nèi)ニ伎己芏嘀档梦覀兯伎嫉臇|西。這是一部偉大的動(dòng)畫電影?！?/p>
