Of course, the two films always have their brilliance. After all, the light and shadow rotation for nearly two hours has some meaning. Not to mention that Disney has always treated the pictures beautifully and cutely, just as an inspirational story, it always contains the tone of its aphorisms throughout the whole text. I think of the "Little Princess" I watched last year, "every girl is a little princess", and this one, the theme repeatedly stated is "keep moving forward", whether it is Lewis' life philosophy as an inventor or Disney's philosophy Talking to oneself is quite meaningful.
Of course, education belongs to education, and entertainment still needs entertainment. The glimmering glimpses of the future world, siphon elevators and bubble transport vehicles, all kinds of bright and colorful worlds are the gifts that Disney gave us. When we face an increasingly uglier city and an increasingly dry and dry imagination, fairy tales and fantasy are always the best healing medicine.
As for the relationship between the worlds, I can only say that it is too hypocritical and superficial in all aspects. The happy ending of a lover getting married doesn't please me at all. If the lover can stand at the opposite ends of time and find the heartfelt love letter left by the lover in the drawer that opened the past, then it will be a little romantic. After the blind reunion, we can hardly imagine what kind of life the two are facing. Kate, an active female executive at the top of the company, can really leave her career behind for a pursuit? Did the so-called epiphany in that speech at the end seem unconvincing? Isn’t it unreasonable to be busy playing the triumphant song of love before the foreshadowing emotions have been accumulated to the point of pursuit and love that can be shattered by a thousand miles? Not to mention the huge difference in the two people's outlook on life, values and living habits, how did Kate successfully play the image of a duchess in the pretentious high society of the 18th century? Will maintaining the image of a strong strong woman make herself feel at a loss in the red tape of high society? Questions came one after another, and I had no way to answer them. Presumably the screenwriters have ignored these big structures. The audience can deceive one to the other. Who wants to spend time watching an old-fashioned movie but can't wait for a happy ending in the end. This is called disappointment.
But it is undeniable that some dialogues in the play are quite in line with me, especially Kate's ex, a very smart young man (I secretly thought that they should be the most suitable), calling himself "a dog who can see the rainbow", what a A fitting and shining metaphor for the light of wisdom, after learning some points of string theory, the fourth dimension and even the eleventh dimension, the various concepts of space and time continue to challenge my ability to understand, So isn't this so-called rainbow a shackle about time and even various dimensions? I think I'm about as amazed by this line, and even the presence of Breakfast at Tiffany's as an embellishment leaves me at a loss, what does he mean? I don't get it really...reminds me of someone commenting on Time Travel "The Wife of the Writer", the author adds a lot of his own petty and meaningless details, making some places really superfluous. The same is true for this movie. The screenwriter wanted to convey too many meanings, but they took it out all at once but didn't make it clear.
The screenwriter tried hard to conform to the three laws of time travel, and reluctantly made the elevator disappear as the price of the Duke's time travel. It was too simple and not logical. Even Disney did a better job than this. So watching a movie is sometimes like taking a risk on your own time, and you have to spend it until the end whether it is worth watching or not.
