The Little Prince (1974) - i highly recommend it


You can find the movie on youtube with a simple search. I remember seeing the movie but I was too young when it came out to understand it. I guess I should rewatch it.

I read it for first time when I was 7 or 8, and I was so badly sick.
I remember feeling a huge empathy with this "little prince". His thoughts were really like mine, and I would feel like it was wrote exactly from my mind.
Well, I won't bore you with my story of how I got obsessed with this beautiful character, but the day I started to read it, and realized he was just like me, I had one of the most terrible meltdowns that I could imagine, just because- "there's someone like me, but I can't meet him, because he doesn't exist".
If you have read it: what do you think about it?
Did you like that book?
Did you felt the same way?

I really like that book.

I feel the same with things, though really it was Wilde that caused me to feel that way - I was 'with' him all along, and felt disappointed that the film finished and I could keep watching the life of Oscar Wilde forever.

^^^^
I think it was a well regarded movie when it came out in 1974.

Also our local Philharmonic Orchestra did a show and music based on the book. But I think the show has toured to a lot of symphonies. I have no idea how they presented it. Typically they read from the book and play music depicting what is read with an appropriate image from the book projected on a screen.

It is a very good movie. I don't know why it's so underrated.

I know a good torrent, if someone need it just send me a PM.
Btw, has anyone seen the movie '7 Faces of Dr. Lao'? I recommend this one too Smile

Oh don't worry. I will watch them if I can. But first, give me your review of "7 faces..."

Sorry, i'm not so good at writing reviews. Here you can find some:

And here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1KJOjKvg3M (not so good as the movie though)
