Selling childhood and memories

After six years of waiting, I finally waited for "Alice in Wonderland 2".

I saw the excitement before, the hesitation when I saw everyone's film reviews, and the emotion after I watched it. This movie sells childhood and memories. If it is only a fairy tale, there is no such high expectations, perhaps its performance can be more satisfying. But on "Alice", it was still weaker.

When I was a child, Alice was a reading before going to bed, imagining the world, falling asleep, feeling groggy as if she had become Alice. When I watched "Alice in Wonderland" in high school, Depp's relaxed and powerful performance, the cuteness of the fat brother, the mighty little mouse, and the wit of Mr. Rabbit brought the imagined world into reality. At that time, there was a special rehearsal of an English drama, a re-enactment of the movie "Alice in Wonderland".

For six years, the current "Alice in Wonderland 2" is our deep nostalgia, we miss our childhood, and miss the good classmates in high school.

I went to watch "Alice 2" with my high school classmates in a city. Although Alice grew up and Uncle Depp became fat, the story is still narrated and wonderfully expressed. If it is just a fairy tale, it is not bad. Lesson: 1. Time tells us that history cannot be changed, we can only learn from it. 2. We are people in history, so we can never face ourselves in the past. 3. Sometimes what we mind, obsessively, is just a small matter, but it has far-reaching impact and great damage. 4. No matter how kind people are, they may have an unbearable past. Sometimes it's just a mistake of a moment. We can only learn to face, correct, and ask for forgiveness instead of avoiding and denying. 5. Cherish time, time is given first, and then taken.

However, as an Alice-themed movie, apart from the fact that the roles have not been changed, the storyline is completely different from "Alice in Wonderland". Alice is no longer a child, and the red and white queens are finally reconciled, just like at the end of the story. Alice may never go back, and the story may end forever.

Many stories just stay in childhood, in our memories.

Alice Through the Looking Glass quotes

  • Cheshire Cat: [from trailer]

    Cheshire Cat: When the day becomes the night and the sky becomes the sea, When the clock strikes heavy and there's no time for tea. And in our darkest hour, before my final rhyme, she will come back home to Wonderland and turn back the hands of time.

  • Blue Caterpillar: [from trailer] You've been gone too long, Alice. There are matters which might benefit from your attention. Friends cannot be neglected. Hurry.
