Last night was such a blast! Sometimes, you can say that IT IS, without knowing the reasons… Well, that’s exactly how and what I felt. I guess, because I’ve met a few peeps and made friends with some of them. Friends aren’t really found in a place where you really are… Sometimes they just come and most especially lives to leave footprints on your heart.That’s how miracle of frienship friendship works. Like what I learned from the movie Charlotte’s Web:
That it is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer…
I still have Wilbur (voice of Dominic Scott Kay) in my thoughts… In the movie he’s the runt of a litter of pigs. On the movie, it was Fern (Dakota Fanning) who saved Wilbur. Fern’s dad was about to take Wilbur’s life and explained to Fern that a pig has only 10 teats to save room for one more. Fern told her dad that it’s not so bad to be born like that… The smallest from a litter of pigs… That what if she were born small, will he take his life too… Fern called his slaughter a terrible injustice. Fern, promised her dad that she will feed the pig and take care of it.
Time came that Wilbur is getting too big for the house, Fern decided to take her accross across the road and live in her Uncle’s barn. That’s where Wilbur met Charlotte (voice of Julia Roberts), the spider. The other animals sees and judges Wilbur as just another ordinary pig, with a pig’s ordinary destiny — CHRISTMAS DINNER… But Charlotter Charlotte, which lives inside the barn door, sees that Wilbur is special, because he is who he is. And to show her esteem for her new friend, she spinned words in her web that described how she sees Wilbur: “some pig!”, “terrific”, “radiant” with Templeton’s (Steve Buscemi’s voice) help and “humble.” And because of Wilbur’s respect for Charlotte helped the other animals to see her as a beautiful creation, rather than a creature to feared, a hideous creature.
Charlotte gave her life for her offspring and Wilbur, to save him forever from becoming Christmas Dinner. The story will teach all of us about dignity, FRIENDSHIP, about what’s in a name, on keeping our promises and seeing and appreaciating the miracle of an ordinary life.
The story for me carries a wonderful theme of respect for life. From the begininng beginning, lives were defended. Fern rushed to his rescue when Wilbur is to be slaughtered. Fern valiantly pleads for the runt’s life. She was brave to protect Wilbur. Fern really stands up for what she believes in. That takes a lot of courage…
The movie for me was a bit of a tear-jerker. I’ve always adored and loved animals. I have a lot (and when I say a lot, I mean “A LOT” of dogs and puppies) just the thought of giving one away makes me feel bad and cry… Charlotte’s Web made me cry (I know, call me shallow) – once I learned to love someone (whatever it may be) it’s just hard for me to give it away, and that’s what I felt when Fern decided to put Wilbur in the barn… This movie taught me more about FRIENDSHIP… How a small spider from the above could help a pig and show each and everyone tha the true value of friendship… 
I haven’t seen the movie yet, but based from your review.. it’s soo cute. Hehe.
In fact, it’s too cute for me. LOL. Yeah, I’m not really the cutesy type. LOL.
