In “Harriet the Spy,” Michelle Trachtenberg was the sleuth who understood how hard it is to be a kid

I have no Tomatoes It is a crisis.

Well, this is not completely true – at least the previous part is not. I am specifically from Red Globe. In feverish research through my kitchen and treasures, I find several boxes Joe merchant Tomato paste, and some cherry tomatoes sit on the table. But none of these will do. On a normal day, the Tamawiya family will not be a problem. But in a state of sadness affected by sadness, in an attempt to use the remaining twenty minutes before a meeting to make myself a tomato sandwich for lunch in honor Harright M. WilshThere are no red fruits juice on your meter is a disaster.

After hearing about the actress and the millennium icon Michel Tatchinburg, which passes on Wednesday afternoon, the tomato sandwich was one of the first things that appeared in my mind. In TRACHTENBERG’s 1996 for the first time, “,”Harrite spy“The luxurious personality works to fix a bad sandwich for lunch. The camera maintains a narrow snapshot of tomatoes that are slaughtered with a boring kitchen, juice and seeds that flow with the fruit division on both sides.” Just give me the big knife and all this has ended! ”Harrite protests on her mother. But Harrite cannot be trusted with the big knife. And, which you use in spying tasks where reassuring characters fall throughout the city and write their ideas for each one.

I had a lot of excessive displacement as a child: Lindsay LohanBritish accent in “Parents’ trap“The game is beautiful, beautiful and the things that allowed my older sister to do this. But no one approached“ Harriet the spy. ”I was the first movie I saw in theaters. My father started working in the middle of the day to transfer me to Multiplex, where he should have played as a child choice, given that I was two years old when it was released in the summer of 96. I changed many films my life, but “Harriet The Spy” opened my world. Its vision on the big screen was a revelation, and the closest thing I came to religion despite the presence of Sunday Luther School every week.

But it was not just the magnitude of the theater screen that showed me, it was the movie itself. “Harriet The Spy” is not like any other children’s movie I have seen to this day. It is brutally honest in the way in which there is not much for children made for children. The film has never spoken to its young viewers, or it is believed that they could not understand the complex topics and difficult scenarios. Harright herself is 3D as it happens. Some early reviews described it as naughty. Others believe the movie – which he deals with DivorceLoss, poverty and depression, Psychoanalysis of the childHe called it what you want! – It was very gradual. But what these adult critics have failed to see is that regardless of the amount of what the father tries to protect their child from the world’s difficulties, they will definitely test them anyway. When the viewers met, the viewers learned in the looks of Tracheenberg in starkly, and millions of children and their parents an invaluable lesson: just because young children do not mean that they do not see and feel everything that adults do.

When I heard that Tracktenberg had passed, Harright was M. My first thought; Challenge child, isolated with an early feeling of humor to match. These features, associated with her talent for intrusion, made Harright just like you were a child: very curiosity for my interest, and prone to make mistakes because of it. After I saw “Hariet The Spy” in theaters, I became obsessed with the movie, and I watched it as much as I could even threaten the East threatening, NickelodionVHS, in itself a prominent memory of my childhood. For Christmas, Lee brought me a spy belt with game perspectives and other ridiculous plastic equipment. You must hand it over to my parents, several times, as they were forced to watch and hear “Harriet The Spy” in our home, they have never realized the strange thing about Harright as a damage to the mind of their Svoni son.

But for other families, this was not the case. In 1996 piece In Tampa Bay Times, one of the mother described Vindictive, saying that she was full of revenge. (This is not completely incorrect, but more than that in the second.) Deby Piece, former president of Niclodion’s films, argued otherwise. “We wanted something that families can see and talk about, and this would arouse some attention, and not only to be a reckless movie that had a lot of Light toilet Pace said in the same article. “This does not play in the same way that he does a lot of entertainment. It makes clear what is really happening with children. These are children who fight with other children, and it may not be real physical violence, but emotional violence, which is worse in some aspects and can be more harmful.”

BEEECE is completely correct, “Harriet The Spy” does not play a little for children. In fact, this is a film written and called it like any adult film. The film is elegant and smart, but the most impressive thing is that it trusts in its fans; There is no preservation of the hands, or excessive narration to water its subjects to palatable children’s food. “Harriet The Spy” is a movie that believes that children will get to know themselves, their peers and their parents. Perhaps this is what some parents were afraid of.

In the movie, Harriet’s mother and Abha (played by J. Smith-Cameron Robert Joy, respectively), are largely absent from her life. Both are wealthy psychologists who spend all day in the office and throughout the night at Swanky dinner with their colleagues. In their place, Harright is left with her beloved nanny, Jolie (Rosie OdonilIn the role of life), who knows Harright’s interests and her tastes much better than her parents, a sad fact that inevitably comes between them when Jolie benefits from the truth about the truth against people Harriet. Harright is partially the product of Tabardisir for her parents and partly as a result of their deep death of the world around her and all those who inhabited her. In her notebook, she ridiculed doubts about strange people on her way to spy between notes about two close friends, Jenny (Vanessa Chester) and boats (Gregory Smith).

This extraordinary hobby makes Harright a target for famous children in her primary school, as she competes against Queen Bee Marion Hawthorne (Charlotte Sullivan) for the desired role in the newspaper editor in the sixth grade. Spy is the Harrite gate to the press, and it is here where I can again connect all points between Harriet and myself. How can I not break her header for this character and this movie? I am not just a journalist, but I am a critic of movies, and I am both things because I am very curious and because I want to make the world a better and more beautiful place. Jolie Harright also tells: “Knowing everything will not help you a little unless you use it to put beauty in this world.” This is a line that everyone should hear, and a dream should grow up every child to fulfill.

Of course, being a child full of experience and error, especially when you are known. When Harright loses her notebook, Marion reads it in front of their entire season, which is Harright’s life because she knows that she is collapsing. Her friends are not only abandoning her, but they cooperate with famous children to make Harright’s life alive. Harriet’s grief is exacerbated by Jolie’s recent departure – a scene This has made me cry since I was five years old and I got my chin at this moment – and without anyone relied on, Harright has to face the consequences of her actions. It indicates her revenge, yes, but she only makes her feel hollow. I have become a harsh person, self -enthusiastic and indifferent like Marion. Suddenly, Harright realizes that people who are consistent with behaving the way they do because they are all struggling. In actual time, we see while Harright is not the center of the world, but a small part of it, and that knowledge instills important sympathy that all children need to learn during their growth.

But despite the beautiful conspiracy and written characters, Trackenberg carries the entire movie together. She was only nine years old when she photographed the movie, but Harright of Tracheenberg has a visual wisdom that exceeds her years. There is a tremendous depth behind her sparkling eyes, which can turn in a second. “Harright” was one of her first roles, but on the screen, Tracktenberg showed the veteran talent in the industry. She carried the camera and asked her attention. Even when she was a child, no one can steal a scene. She knew what was the case to be a child who wanted to look at, who was in pain to be understood. In the movie “Harriet The Spy”, she gave a voice to every hair child in the same way.

The dialogue program, Rosie Odonil Michel Tuchtensburg, contradicts the premiere of “Harriet The Spy” on July 9, 1996 in New York City. (Evan Agustini/contact/Gety photos)Because of my childhood obsession with “Harriet The Gasus”, I followed the work of Tratinburg closely throughout my life, admiring the humanity that I have been gracefully purposed in all of its characters – even that diabetic like Georgina Sparks, which turned, “which turned.”gossip girl“From a teenage soap to a drama, watch. Watch.”Bouvay is a fatal vampire“For the first time when the teenager was like catching an old friend. I always liked to see Trashtenberg floating on the surface in something, and I hoped to be again soon.

However, the inheritance I left behind it is indelible, something that was confirmed to me when I attended an offer to treat the “Harrite Spy” in the summer of 2023. The mats were just a few days before my birthday, and I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend it from watching Harriet on the big screen just as if I was a child. From my pleasure, it was not only the generation of the millennium who appeared; There were children there with their parents as well. In the middle of the movie, one of them asked randomly, from anywhere, “How old should you be to drink wine?” No one in the movie was drinking any wine, but mature children had mature questions in their minds when they saw this movie!

On the way out of the theater James Brown“Get Up Offa that that that” played on the end credits, I remembered what it was to see the movie for the first time when I was a child. Everyone left the stage, but my father remained until the lights rose, and danced in the corridor while the music was filled with the room. It is one of the oldest memories that I have.

After the show two years ago, I looked around the room to see children hold their parents, wandering in music and talking about the movie while they were going out. They were connected to the film, and they falsified this connection together, and perhaps even able to understand each other slightly better after seeing it. If this is not a sign that Michelle Tarthtburg and Harright put beauty in this world, as Jolie said completely, I do not know what it is.
