redemption of time

The plot is still old. The contradiction between the heroine and her mother is very old-fashioned, basically whether women should focus on career or return to family. The heroine believed that it was impossible before, but when she returned to Wonderland to face her friend, she changed her belief and tried to help her friend by traveling back in time and space. This process helped her to let go of her past obsessions, find the meaning of the world, and regain her confidence in everything. Everything is possible. I also re-understood how to cherish the limited time.

Alice Through the Looking Glass quotes
-
Alice Kingsleigh: [finds a young Hatter at the marketplace] Hatter? Hatter? It's you!
[hugs a surprised Hatter]
Alice Kingsleigh: You're you again!
Mad Hatter: Well, if I'm not, I wish I was. Have we met?
Alice Kingsleigh: Yes! Well, no. I mean, not yet.
Mad Hatter: That's funny. Actually, I should know you.
Alice Kingsleigh: Well, we have met once when I was younger.
Mad Hatter: Well, I'm afraid I don't recall.
Alice Kingsleigh: That's because it hasn't happened yet.
Mad Hatter: Oh. When will it happen?
Alice Kingsleigh: Years from now, when you're older.
Mad Hatter: [confused] I'll meet you when you're younger and I'm older.
Alice Kingsleigh: I realize it doesn't make much sense.
Mad Hatter: [pauses] Makes perfect sense to me. I'm Tarrant.
Alice Kingsleigh: [shakes his hand] I know. I'm Alice.
Mad Hatter: [amused] Alice? You seem to have time all mixed up.

Bayard: [after Alice falls from the sky and into a flower bed, her Underland friends surround and greet her] Alice.
White Rabbit: [hops up to Alice and hugs her arm] Alice! Thank goodness you're finally here!
March Hare: It's that girl again!
Tweedledee: Alice! You're back!
[the Bandersnatch roars his greeting and pants, smiling at Alice]
Mallymkun: [to the Bandersnatch] Don't be nice to her. She's late.
Alice Kingsleigh: Have I come at a bad time?
White Queen: On the contrary. We were afraid you weren't coming at all.
Alice Kingsleigh: What's the matter?
White Rabbit: The Hatter's the matter.
Tweedledee: Or the matter of the Hatter.
Tweedledum: The former.
Tweedledee: No, the latter.
White Queen: [rolls her eyes] Tweedles.
[gives them a look as if to say, "Get to the point, please."]
Tweedledee: [in unison with Tweedledum] He's mad.
Alice Kingsleigh: The Hatter?
[the Tweedles nod]
Alice Kingsleigh: Yes, I know.
[climbs out of the flower bed and pulls her hair back in a half-up style]
Alice Kingsleigh: That's his muchness. That's what makes him so... him.
Tweedledee: But he's grown darker. Less dafter.
Tweedledum: Denies himself laughter.
Cheshire Cat: [appears in the tree above them] And no scheme of ours can raise any sort of smile. We rather hoped YOU might help us save him.
