Il 7 E L 8 Torrent Ita Il Piccolo

First of all, i never read the book even though i heard about The Little Prince since i was just a little kid. It's a well-known classic literature, after all. So, when i hear the book was made into a movie, i got so excited and couldn't wait to watch it.

A nineteenth-century Italian noblewoman, imprisoned in a foreboding. And insane Don Lope de Aguirre leads a Spanish expedition in search of El Dorado.

After i watched it, i do not regret it at all. It was a good movie and make me want to read the book version ( I read some of the review, that tell me that this movie was really different from the book version, so it intrigued my curiosity ) My review is as an outsider who doesn't know it real story.

So, i won't compare the movie version with the book version. For the movie version, i guess i pretty much like it.

I agree that this movie is not suitable for kids, since kids will find it boring. The pace of the movie is kinda slow ( also, it kinds of hard to understand for kids ). The visual itself, went so well and beautifully finished with the combination of stop motion and 3D animation. Well, from my point of view, i think the story itself tried to teach us about life, happiness, sadness, and how to grow up without forgetting who we are. All those kinds of valuable things that we tend to forget, as we grown up and be part of the adult world.

I highly recommended this movie for those who do not read the novel yet and those who like philosophical things wrapped in a beautiful visual.

'Little old-fashioned world' was a tremendous success when it was released in Fascist Italy in 1941. It is said that it was as huge in Italy as 'Gone With The Wind' in America. It also started the career of Alida Valli (who starred years later in 'The third man' and in Visconti's 'Senso')as a movie star. Having said that, very little of this past glory has stood the test of time. What remains today is some incredible and pompous period film, dull and unimaginative in spite of Valli's beauty and sensibility. Based on a novel that sets a melodramatic romance against a backdrop of major historical events, the story is set in the nineteenth century, during the Risorgimento era. Cut off by his family for marrying below his station, a young nobleman faces war fighting the Austrians and a different kind of war with a vengeful grandmother and neglected wife.

Some people regard this film as a forerunner of Italian neorealism. They are dead wrong. 'Piccolo mondo antico' reminds one constantly of heavy adaptations of novels as they were made in the 1930s. An established writer before turning to film director, Soldati is far from being Visconti.

Let's do him justice by reading more of his novels and reviews.
