Kindle My Heart
November 20th, 2007
I’ve never seen the movie A Little Princess. It came out in 1995 and I’m just wondering how I missed this one. It seems like a very touching story.
It’s supposed to be a children’s movie, so that might explain why I missed it, but aren’t we all children at heart? So, I’ll have to see this one sometime soon.
When her father enlists to fight for the British in WWI, young Sara Crewe goes to New York to attend the same boarding school her late mother attended. She soon clashes with the severe headmistress, Miss Minchin, who attempts to stifle Sara’s creativity and sense of self- worth. Sara’s belief that “every girl’s a princess” is tested to the limit, however, when word comes that her father was killed in action and his estate has been seized by the British government.
A touch of irony that the star, Liesel Matthews (heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune), had gone through a similar fight in real life to gain back her fortunes.
This is the most facsinating movie to watch. It is the kind of movie that takes your breath away with its mystery, emotion, color, life, and intensity. The theme of India is so exsquisitly woven into the story with that robust color and mystery. The little girl is cherished by the audience. The emotion of her trials and joys causes goosebumps on my arms. This is ‘A Little Princess’ masterpiece.
The song from the movie (Kindle My Heart) came up in the top searches at Technorati:
As the wind kindles the fire
As the rain fills every ocean
And the sun, the earth
With your heart, kindle my heart

So, those of us who have been participating this month in NaBloPoMo are pretty much in the final stretch. We’re definitely over the hump and it’s smooth sailing from here.
The thought of having to write a blog entry a day for a month was daunting at first, but it’s definitely made me realize how easy one can write every day, and also how easy it is to come up with something to write about. Though, boring as it may seem, the subject matter. *smile*
Still, I was at a point where some days I could write several entries in a day. So once I put my mind to it, the task wasn’t all that tough.
Unless…
I lose internet access for a whole day (it’s happened before). But then I would just have to go to a local Internet Cafe or Starbucks to blog my entry.
