after watching

I borrowed an iQIYI membership from a friend, but when I opened the app, I didn't know what movies to watch. Saw this movie on the high-score list, and like many people, I thought it was just a relaxing, enjoyable movie that brought back childhood memories. But that's not the case.

Phoebe was unpopular with teachers and classmates at school, and was even ostracized. She spat at her classmates again and again, even though it wasn't her wish. After Mr. Dougill showed up, Phil worked up the courage to join her stage play, Alice in Wonderland. After that, everything started to look a little different.

Phoebe, who was "disobedient" in class, was praised by Mr. Dougier in the stage play. At the same time, it seemed that only Mr. Dougill could make Phoebe obedient. Phil's mother felt overwhelmed more than once, why can a teacher easily do what her mother couldn't? Phil's specialness made her mother put a lot of thought into her. And Phil's sister is often sad about this, she said to her mother when she was young - "I want your love, you only have Phoebe in your eyes, why can't you give me your time A little?", what comes out of children's mouths is often their most real feelings, not getting enough care in the family is undoubtedly a very painful thing for children.

Psychology, family, self... These are the key words that make up the film.

In fact, more than half an hour after the film started, the word "can't understand" surrounded me... Until the end of the film, when Phoebe explained her condition in class, I didn't know, oh, it turned out that she was suffering from Symptoms similar to "obsessive compulsive disorder". Looking back on the previous plot, it seems that everything has become reasonable: keep washing hands until they bleed; keep jumping squares, as if everything can be better when they return to reality; after the doctor interrupted their conversation, she still Keep talking; I can't control myself, like my classmates spit... It turns out, turns out.

At the end of the film, Phoebe saw the "real" Alice, and she disappeared in front of Phoebe with Mr. Dougill, "entering" the real Alice in Wonderland. At this time, Phoebe's symptoms should have deepened again, and it has begun to distinguish the real and imagined worlds.

In this film, some lines are also quite philosophical:

At a certain point in your life,

probably when too much of it has gone by...

you will open your eyes

and see yourself for who you are.

especially for everything that made you so different

from all the awful normals.

And you will say to yourself

"But I am this person."

One day in the future, maybe many years from now, you will open your eyes and see who you are, and especially everything that makes you so different from all other ordinary people. You say to yourself, "But that's who I am."

Phoebe in Wonderland quotes

  • [last lines]

    Caterpillar: Who are you?

    Phoebe: I hardly know, sir, right now. At least I knew who I was when I got up this morning. But I think I've must have changed many times since then.

    Caterpillar: Explain yourself.

    Phoebe: I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly, for I can't understand it myself to begin with. And being so many different sizes in a day, it is very confusing.

    Caterpillar: It isn't.

    Phoebe: Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet, but when you have to turn into a chrysalis - you will some day, you know - and then into a beautiful butterfly, I think you'll feel a little odd.

    Caterpillar: Not a bit.

    Phoebe: Your feelings may be different. All I know is, it would feel very strange to me.

    Caterpillar: You? Who are you?

    Phoebe: [just stares brightly]

  • Phoebe: I can see myself wrecking and ruining. But I can't stop myself.
