MOMO and Pippi, TWO GIRLS AND A SAME VALUE, SIMPLICITY (Alfonso Torres)

already past the end of 2010, various media echoed the 65 anniversary of that girl and stiff red braids that we all know, Pippi Longstocking Pippi also Langstrump or as we call on English soil. The media were picking the matter, take a few minutes or a dozen lines, but a preferred server to make a small but well-deserved tribute. Pippi

Langstrump born in 1941 head of the Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren. The story of this birth can not be more casual. Pneumonia his daughter Karin left the little girl in bed some time, enough to invented Astrid Pippi, who would be baptized and by Karin. And a crazy name brought with it a crazy story. Pippi took wing again thanks to a mishap. In 1943 Astrid and broke his leg during his abode gave written the story, the manuscript gave his daughter for her tenth birthday. And Pippi flight ended in 1945 the story won a literary competition organized by a Swedish publisher. From Pippi flew here with their beautiful and colorful wings all over the world, with its history translated into nearly 70 languages! nothing more and nothing less.

Despite his literary success, Pippi has become part of popular religious images thanks to the television series (I remember in my childhood was Antena 3 if I remember where out), and that movies and cartoons series failed to have much echo. And thanks to its originality and simplicity, the story has shocked the gaming multinationals. The series, filmed in 1969 with scripts written by Astrid Lindgren, was as an actress starring Inger Nilsson as director Olle Hellbom, like some of the eight films Pippi. Inger

interpretation no longer holds, in fact only worked as Pippi. He now works as an official but despite its ephemeral success, perhaps because of its ephemeral typecasting in the role, said in his day in an interview that he regretted to have done it and do it again.

Inger Nillson, with a few more years but the same smile and the same light in his eyes.

For those who do not know Pippi Langstrump (that childhood rather sad) I'll tell you something of its history (it is never late for happy childhood, albeit with retroactive effect). Pippi is a cute freckled redhead permanent tadpole red braids tiezas always wears a shabby dress, a pair of different colored socks and a huge black boots. Animal lover, has a piebald called Little Tio and often riding and skill and a titi monkey named Mr. Nilsson. She lives alone in a huge mansion where the wildest shocking gossip their home. The most important of them a leather maletón full to bursting with gold coins, Pippi's father's inheritance. Pippi's father, a Pirate, leaving little in the series despite the adoration that you are obviously processed his daughter, who spoke during the series enough of him and his many exploits / troperias.

Daily life (normal, not normal) were Pippi tells us through the innocent eyes of her neighbors, Tommy and Annika Small, who marveled at his follies, part of everyday the imaginative girl despite the huge disappointment that this results in conventional and conservative parents, especially (I could not be otherwise) the mother.
discover the many crazy adventures pippitianas seeing chapters of his series. (Do not be ashamed, anda ya!). And is that Pippi is an expert in making the normal task a natural emotion.

And here is my synopsis process destriparos no history (and because I do not remember more).

Pippi

German Stamp motif.

Pippi is a and imaginative fictional character, created and creative. Wake up even more mature adult the child will probably all have within us (and we might as well keep it as gold cloth with the child is lying our innocence). Rebellious and extravagant, its hajada clothing, your spectacular simplicity, his permanent smile, his noble courage, his empathy innocence (not always produce naive innocence, sometimes gives wisdom and understanding) Momo reminds me greatly, my Momo, that little girl gives life lessons that are taught not to waste time that life has given us.

And is that after all, Momo and Pippi have a similar spirit, the simple innocence, and a common moral, to live happy with what we have and not thinking about what we should or we would have.
