Watching "The Little Prince" (movie)

Finally managed to watch this movie, The Little Prince, the other day.

I think the key message is similar to the book. "What is essential is invisible to the eye." Of course, the movie takes place after the book, with the aviator talking about the little prince. But the story really resonates with me. I can relate to the little girl's experiences. Following a strict time-table (okay, I didn't really follow mine that well), trying to get into good schools so that she can then move up into the corporate world. Our obsession with success, being narrowly defined as getting a high-paying job. And the narrow path that leads there.

Do we have the courage to soar off into the sunset in a biplane? Or do we simply follow the paths that others have tread?
