I saw a clip of this movie a few years ago, and I just thought it was curious. Since entering the pit of the master, I have to sigh with emotion "really fragrant". The Swanmaier-style "Alice" is actually closer to the original appearance of the story. Why do you say that?
From the middle of watching the movie, I always felt a vague sense of discomfort, because the environment setting deviates too much from the concept of "wonderland" - the surrounding doors and windows, the winding stairs, the dilapidated tables and chairs, the sticky, dirty The gray, dark and blunt look and feel is crowded. From beginning to end, the little girl is allowed to climb up and down in an old building, going in and out, where is there a shadow of a fairyland? But it was the last scene that caught my eye. The master is not a fantasy, it is reality at all.
From the perspective of dream analysis, all the displays in the room become participants in the dream world, and the sensory impressions of the external world are processed by the mind and compiled into a fantastic adventure. The director deliberately gave a detailed response in the first and last shots. The final metal impact of the gongs and drums is actually the result of the ticking of the clock as an objective stimulus. People who often dream must feel the same way. For details, please refer to Freud's "Analysis of Dreams".
Speaking of the story itself, I shuddered a bit after reading it. The ending implies that Alice is transformed into the Queen of Hearts, who can use scissors to arbitrarily kill the "people". The curiosity and tyranny hidden in Alice's heart just made up for the part of Mr. White Rabbit who ran away without authorization and was constantly chased by her, and became the final executor of the realization of deep consciousness. The girl Alice has the potential to be a bit of a child. She has a huge desire to spy on the unknown and initiative (dare to put anything in her mouth), aggression (the clip of fighting with Mr. White Rabbit and animals), and destructive power (from head to toe) The tail is ruining), and a high level of narcissism that is characteristic of children (make a mistake and play a little rascal). This is a living, undisciplined, natural child. All the characters in the dream can be understood as a part of herself, the result of her specialization.
Speaking of the film, new fans who first browsed the short film collection said that this film is like a large collection of short films, and it is very Swan Mayer from beginning to end. Many familiar elements can be found in the fleeting footage: hand puppets and holes in "Coffin and Guinea Pig"; various canned meals in "Food"; playing cards and building blocks in "Absurd Fairy Tale"; "Nature" All kinds of taxidermy in "History", etc. Throughout the whole film, the core is closer to the "monster in the basement", which expresses the children's heart, their joy, anger and fear. Such a subject matter by Shi Yunmeier is simply like a duck to water, and the audience is amazed.
Hastily code down the feeling after watching, continue to complete the master's feature film~
