Queen Alice and Child Alice are two sides of the same person from beginning to end, it just depends on which side she chooses to help her make choices.
What happens when children enter the adult world unsuspectingly?
At the beginning of the film, Alice is throwing stones in a bored way, killing the boring stones and killing the boring time.
Unexpectedly, the toy rabbit in the glass box came alive and got into the drawer. Alice tried to enter the drawer too, but pulled the drawer handle out.
Alice couldn't open the drawer like a rabbit, which means that she did not master the method and qualifications to enter the adult world, so she had to find a way to open the drawer with her little finger and squeezed into the adult world.
Since then, Alice has encountered many drawers, and from the beginning to pull hard, to know how to open the drawer with scissors after pulling out the handle. Throughout the whole film, it can be seen that the real owner of the scissors is the queen, and the one who executes the scissors is the rabbit. Obviously, the scissors symbolize power. And Alice knows how to open a drawer with scissors, which means that she has learned to borrow the power tools of adults to achieve her own goals.
After opening the drawer for the first time, the curious Alice hurt her hand by a compass. This is the first time she has been hurt from the adult world. This is like a price and a warning. But Alice still followed in the footsteps of the rabbit, crawled through the narrow tunnel paved with triangles, and entered the wonderland. Isn't this process just like children need to pass the narrow single-plank bridge of learning and examination to reach the other side of the adult world?
After entering the adult world, Alice finds that rabbits and others are made of wood chips. After eating the wood chips, they leak out again. At the beginning, Alice, who spit out sawdust, also learned to eat wood mushrooms under the guidance of the sock caterpillar, and found that she would become smaller after eating a bite, and could better integrate into the world of rabbits. This means that children recognize the benefits of being assimilated, learn to eat bland food for assimilation, and are further influenced by the adult world.
After being turned away by the rabbit again, Alice burst into tears and met a little mouse dragging a box. Alice's silent indulgence for the mouse made the mouse set fire on her head, forcing Alice to overturn it into the water unbearably. This is the first time Alice has gone from victim to abuser. And the mouse lost a pot of food for hurting Alice, and finally died in the mouse trap for the cheese. It can be said that people die for wealth, and rats die for food.
Alice, who became smaller in the sea of tears, also turned into a rag doll with sawdust inside her body. She still did not give up following the rabbit's footsteps, hoping that it would wait for herself, but the rabbit has been following the queen's footsteps, driven by the clock, Never stop to wait for the children, the children call over and over again, and all they get are ignorance and harm.
It was only when the rabbit needed Alice to pass the scissors to him that he noticed the existence of Alice, but he called her by the wrong name. At this time, the child realized that he did not have the power tool and was emotionally affected. This saddens Alice more than her hand hurts, so much so that she refuses to help the rabbit, only to be attacked by the rabbit and the skeleton animals, and both sides who revenge each other lose.
After that, Alice also met a puppet and a clockwork rabbit, one controlled by a rope, the other controlled by a clockwork, living a step-by-step life, hanging the same watch, repeating the same absurd thing, even if changed It can't affect their actions.
Therefore, both the mouse and the rabbit represent the chasing fame and fortune in the adult world, but one is looking for food (wealth), the other is looking for scissors (power), and the rabbit that has been chased seems to represent time (a pocket watch). ). The puppets and the clockwork rabbits, on the other hand, represent adults who have no purpose in life. They are busy, doing the same things according to the schedule, living according to the schedule in order to pass the time, and become the slaves of time and life. But I don't know it, there is nothing more sad and ridiculous than this. Alice has been chasing time and has to grow up with time. Even if she realizes the cruelty of the adult world, she can't turn back. This is real sadness and helplessness.
After being rejected and hurt again and again, seeing the madness, absurdity, and vainness of the adult world, and experiencing the power and cruelty of power, Alice in the dream collapsed completely. She refused to confess her guilt, refused to be assimilated. Awakened from the turbulence.
Alice, who thought she had returned to the children's world, found that the glass box was still broken. She also successfully opened the drawer in the glass box, took out a pair of scissors, and planned to use it to cut off the head of the late rabbit.
At this time, Alice not only has power, but also knows how to use power to hurt others, forcing others to obey the rules, so as to avoid being hurt by others.
She was completely assimilated into the adult world.
It turns out that Queen Alice and Child Alice are two sides of the same person from beginning to end, it just depends on which side she chooses to help her make choices.
In the dream, the child Alice saw the naked side of the adult world, but she refused to confess her guilt and refused to be assimilated; in reality, she could not see the naked rabbit, but she was no longer a child Alice, but became Queen Alice, intends to use scissors to kill the rabbit.
What is a dream? Which is reality? A dream is not a reality, and a reality is not a dream.
After the adventure in the dream, Alice chose to be the queen because she realized: In this world, if you don't hurt others cruelly, you will be hurt by others.
Assimilated, or beheaded? With such a simple multiple-choice question, even children can easily make "adult" choices.
It is worth noting that the person who speaks all the lines in the film has always been Alice, which means that she may be any kind of adult form, or it may be a combination of all adult types. After all, isn't Alice in the opening scene doing pointless actions (throwing stones) like a clockwork rabbit to pass the time?
The great thing about Svanmeier is that he refuses to be assimilated by the world like Alice, but he doesn't want to be "beheaded" by the queen, so he cleverly hides his mockery of power and social rules in this discussion "assimilation". in fairy tale movies. Not only showed his attitude, but also prevented the chasing fame and fortune from easily finding himself being mocked by Swan Mayer. What a genius!
It's almost like the child who told the truth in "The Emperor's New Clothes" grew up and learned how to hide the truth in fairy tales and teach other children how to tell the truth and ensure their own safety.
To do this, you need a pure heart, a pair of discerning eyes that see through the world, and you need to be able to endure the loneliness that most people don’t understand, and make a stop-motion animation film that requires patience. , to pass on their attitudes and experiences.
Holding the poor and lovely child Alice, I completely fell into a fan of Swan Mayer.
