begins on a sunny afternoon. A blonde girl (Lori) wearing a pink lace skirt is mechanically throwing the stones piled on the skirt into the river one by one. Sitting next to her A woman seems to be the girl's sister. After the girl threw the stones, she couldn't help turning over the book on her sister's lap. She was beaten stiffly by her sister, and the girl who was beaten looked at the audience in front of the screen with resentment. , staring straight at the camera and saying, "Ailce thought to herself", we know that this girl is the heroine Alice in this story, and the dark and dark fairy tale officially begins.
In a dark room, eaten apple cores were scattered on the ground, stuffed animals of all kinds, full cans, paintings of wolves and rabbits, broken toys, a sense of ruin filled the room. Alice threw stones at the teacup. There was a doll that looked exactly like Alice in the house, and next to her was her sister who turned into a doll, with the book on her knees. Suddenly, a strange noise caught Alice's attention. A rabbit made of taxidermy came alive. It pulled out a nail, bit it with its teeth, put on a dress hidden in a drawer, put on a top hat, and cut glass with scissors and came out. Alice was there. Watch from the sidelines.
Mr. Rabbit took out his pocket watch from his chest, licked the sawdust on it, and said in Alice's voice: __oh dear dear, I should be late____
Mr. Rabbit climbed forward, the room turned into a wilderness, he jumped into the drawer of a giant desk in the wilderness, Alice followed closely, pulled the drawer with all her strength, but pulled the handle off, she had to use her fingers to dig open. Alice got into the drawer like Mr. Rabbit, and many huge triangles were spread on the aisle. Alice came to the strange room like a cellar. Through the wooden fence, she saw Mr. Rabbit was eating sawdust, but the sawdust kept coming out. It leaks out of the abdomen. Mr. Rabbit glanced at his pocket watch and fled frantically to the sundries. Alice entered the room to look for Mr. Rabbit, but was hit by palladium and fell into an elevator without a door (like the rabbit hole in the original book) , the elevator creaked and kept descending. Layers of wooden shelves appeared in front of Alice, and the gaps between the wooden shelves were filled with dilapidated toys, weird cans, bones and specimens of dead animals. In the room, she climbed down the leaf pile to open the door. Mr. Rabbit showed his face from the fallen leaves, and then hurriedly got in. Alice wanted to remove the dead leaves, but during this time, a drawer appeared in the leaf pile. After sucking all the leaves in, and then closing it, Alice opened the drawer as before, and found a key the size of a fingernail inside, and at the bottom right of the door behind her was a small door that just matched the small key. After opening it, I found a small garden lined with cardboard. There were birdsong. Mr. Rabbit passed by again. He took out his pocket watch and licked it. Running away, Alice locked the small door and went back to the table. Just as she was about to close the drawer, a bottle of ink rolled out. She sucked her finger curiously, feeling the coolness of the mouth, and drank it all at once. She shrank and turned into a little doll who had just appeared in the room. She looked surprised, and seemed to have thought of something, and walked straight to the small door, but the door was locked, and the key was on the high table, she was distressed. A piece of biscuit suddenly spit out from the drawer, Alice chewed it, it suddenly became huge and hit the ceiling, she immediately picked up the key, opened the small door, the garden turned into a seaside, Alice reached out to catch Mr. Rabbit in front of the cardboard , Mr. Rabbit slammed Alice's hand with the oars (the details of Alice being beaten in the book), and then fled, Alice slammed the door helplessly, and then cried, the tears kept pouring out, like a river The flow of water began to gradually fill the room. Alice was soon overwhelmed and overwhelmed. Suddenly, a mouse wearing a sailor swam over with a treasure chest tied. The mouse climbed onto Alice's blond hair as if rescued, and calmly lit a fire and cooked a meal. run away , At this time, Mr. Rabbit rowed over, leaving a plate of biscuits and rowing away. Alice took a bite of the biscuit, turned into a doll and floated on the water, a table floated from a distance, Alice opened the drawer in the old way, and inside was a huge key, Alice opened the door, and the water poured out. Then, Alice went ashore. She saw a piece of torn cardboard and looked inside. Inside was a room with huge blocks and a vegetable garden. Alice entered the room, rang the doorbell at the corner of the table, and the drawers followed. Open it, put down a long ladder, and little Alice logs into the castle. There is a dilapidated rabbit cage in the castle. There is a small bowl filled with sawdust on the ground. Alice passes through the rabbit cage and enters a small room. She finds that under the quilt. Filled with rabbit dung, the wardrobe was actually stripped rabbit skins, and there was a tray of sawdust on the table. Alice found that the drawer on the table in the room was full of scissors and a can of ink. Alice drank it and returned to its original size, filling the room.
Mr. Rabbit suddenly appeared, climbed the castle, asked Alice for scissors, Alice blocked the door, and Rabbit slammed the door with all his strength. Seeing that the door could not get through, the rabbit climbed up to the window, but was pushed down by Alice, and threw the building blocks at the rabbit. The rabbit was defeated by Alice, and whistled to get help. The strange animals of various taxidermy cities got off a carriage and began to attack Alice in groups. Alice accidentally kicked a crocodile to death in the counterattack. Mr. Rabbit angrily threw a stone at Alice. The stone fell to the ground and turned into a biscuit. A small door, hidden behind the garbage heap, animals broke in and forced Alice onto a pot full of gypsum liquid. Alice fell into the pot and turned into a huge gypsum giant, unable to move, the animals They tied and dragged Alice into a utility room. Alice broke through the plaster and emerged from the cocoon. Alice rummaged around in the room, found a key in a fish can, opened the door and left. Going out, she saw the dead Mr. Mouse on the rat trap. Then Alice entered a room full of holes in which many stockings were drilled. There was a caterpillar sitting on a bunch of wooden mushrooms on the table. The caterpillar said to Alice: One side of the mushroom will make you bigger and the other side will make you shrink. Alice cut two mushrooms, and the caterpillar started to make Cocoon, fell asleep. Alice walked out of the room with two mushrooms. She heard the cry of the baby. Alice jumped down the window and found that the cry came from a room the size of a palm. Dishes kept being thrown out (it should be an insinuation of Alice's family feud) a salted fish servant came in and sent an invitation from the queen to the frog servant in the baby, and the frog servant began to eat the flies in the house with his tongue, Alice opened the door of the house, and Mr. Rabbit was feeding the baby inside. When the rabbit saw Alice, he kept throwing things at the door, and even threw the baby out. Alice ran out in her arms, and the baby turned out to be a piglet, making the cry of a child. Alice followed Piggy to a door, opened the door, and the Mad Hatter (Svanmeier himself) and the March Hare sat on a long table full of teacups. They yelled at Alice __No place! The Mad Hatter kept changing the hat on his head, the Rabbit kept smearing butter on the pocket watch, the Mad Hatter poured tea into his leaky stomach while saying "Why is the crow like a writing desk", and they kept changing The mad hatter took off his top hat and took out Mr. Rabbit. Mr. Rabbit shouted "Damn, she's going to chop my head off!" and ran out in a hurry. March Hare and the Mad Hatter
Alice left the room, climbed the stairs, and passed through the layers of clothes. Alice saw two paper soldiers sparring. The poker team appeared. The queen of hearts appeared, and the king followed closely. The queen ordered Mr. Rabbit to cut it. With a click, the scissors cut off the head of the soldier, and the headless soldier was still dueling. Alice walked into the garden and saw the March Hare and the Mad Hatter playing cards. The Queen saw this and ordered, "Cut off his head for me." Mr. Rabbit cut the two heads and dropped them on the ground, and the March Hare picked them up. The Mad Hatter picked up the head of the March Rabbit and placed it on himself, and continued to play cards. The queen brought Alice into a room, picked up a flamingo paper, and played croquet. The flamingo in Alice's hand turned into a live chicken, and the croquet turned into a hedgehog. Mr. Rabbit gave Alice ran out after a notebook. Alice followed and entered another door. The queen and the king were sitting in the room. The queen looked at Alice and shouted: "Cut off her head for me", the king According to the script, he said to the queen, "My dear, this is the last thing to say." The king began to exhort Alice and asked Alice to read the script and make Alice confess her guilt. Alice retorted, saying that she had no Wrong, the two fought each other, Alice stepped forward and ate the biscuits on the table, the queen shouted like crazy: "Cut her head off!" The king followed and shouted: "Cut her head off!", In a commotion, Alice's head turned into the head of the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Frog Servant, and the Queen, swaying. Who is beheading who is beheading?
Alice woke up from the dream, she swept away the poker on the skirt and looked around, everything was the same, all kinds of details reflected in the dream were scattered all over the room, and finally, Alice looked at the still broken specimen box, the specimen. There were two iron nails for fixing the specimen in the box. Alice took out the scissors in the box and said, "He is late again, I want to cut off his head" Thought Alice to herself, like Alice at this time Silk, incarnated into the Queen of Hearts.
For me, "Alice in Wonderland" itself is not a fairy tale, but Svanmeier has photographed the real dream hidden under the gorgeous and beautiful story in the original. Freud pointed out in "Interpretation of Dreams" that dreams are a kind of mental activity; "the motive is often a desire to seek satisfaction." an alternative satisfaction of desire". Obviously, Swan Mayer used a paradoxical shooting technique, using the combination of stop-motion animation and the only live-action actor Alice, to bring the evil and repressed desires deep in Alice's heart, her distaste for the school and the system, and family quarrels. The damage to come is expressed in various metaphors. Aside from Mulholland Drive, this version of Alice is arguably the closest to a dream movie in my opinion.
A brief analysis of the metaphors in the film using Freud's psychoanalysis method will reveal the original mood of Alice's story. In the scene at the beginning of the film, the sister's head is cut off by the camera, only below the shoulders, while Alice is constantly mechanically, repetitively, and subconsciously throwing stones into the river, reflecting that Alice's life is boring and repetitive, including Alice's later Si repeatedly opened the drawer, the rabbit kept looking at the watch, the Mad Hatter kept repeating a sentence on the long table and changing positions (the position was changed exactly one week), and the March rabbit smeared butter on the pocket watch, you can see this. It's a reflection of Alice's real life. In the dream, Alice was beaten by Mr. Rabbit's oars a few times. It was her sister's subconscious hatred of hitting Alice's hand because Alice was turning a book. Alice was stabbed by the compass of the drawer, and inside the giant passage There are a large number of triangles, reflecting Alice's boredom with institutional education, various closed cans, many deformed foods in the cans, and doors that cannot be opened, all of which can show the depression and closure of Alice's life. There are babies crying and constantly throwing dishes from the small house. It is probably the influence of Alice's family disputes on her deep down. In fact, in the whole dream, all the people, specimens, and closed cans are Alice herself. , the lip narration that kept cutting in the plot, Alice finished the whole story, and even the voices of other animals were imitated by her. Alice is the manipulator at the top, she is in charge of everything in the dream, and we are already deep in it.
Compared to the 1951 Disney version of "Alice", Swan Mayer's version is quite rough, but the description of the original is still very interesting in some places, using socks to make caterpillars, all animals have stop-motion specimens And plush toys to complete the performance, this atmosphere makes me particularly like, this is the intoxicating talent displayed by the director with style, and the dream is so charming.
Film critics can only recite the outline. What really impresses people is the continuous plot and complete picture. If you like this movie, please watch it without skipping a single frame.
