Where to find our wonderland?

——"Phoebe's Adventures in Wonderland"

Actually, I have been watching this movie for a while. After watching it, I have a lot of things to say, but I haven't recorded it for a long time. I just wrote it down a little bit today.

When I first saw this title, I thought it was a dreamy children's drama, but when I looked at it, I realized that it was a children's drama. It was clearly an adult drama in the cloak of innocence. In the film, Phoebe is a cute little girl with loving father and mother, and a "smart and sophisticated" sister. On her birthday, Mom and Dad gave Phoebe a very delicate gift - Alice's Wonderland, Phoebe couldn't put it down. Such a small model, even looking at it with a magnifying glass, made Phoebe intoxicated. There is a scene in it that I think is particularly good. A pair of hands slowly opened the door of this wonderland. It seemed that "Welcome to Wonderland!" sounded in my ears. At that time, the loud percussion suddenly pulled the person back to reality. Phoebe's teacher taught students, "Good job Jenny asks questions only when it's time for asking questions." Phoebe immediately asked, "How could we konw when is the time for asking questions?" The teacher dismissed her question mercilessly, telling her that you can only ask questions when you should, shoving Phoebe's questions back into her stomach. From here, the director's intention to express began to gradually unveil her veil. The next few teachers did exactly the same thing as this teacher and didn't take Phoebe's words seriously. Just when Phoebe was so frustrated that she was doing nothing, a strange woman suddenly opened the door of the classroom, read a line that the children couldn't understand (in "Alice in Wonderland"), and then left abruptly, The teacher introduced that this was the new drama teacher, Miss Dodger. Just as she finished speaking, Miss Dodger suddenly came back and opened the door and said, "Tend the tea party." (in "Alice in Wonderland"). At this moment, Phoebe smiled, and Miss Dodger couldn't help noticing her. She looked at Phoebe for a while, a look of surprise in her eyes, but it was fleeting. Miss Dodger is rehearsing the play for "Alice in Wonderland", Phoebe's mother is studying "Alice in Wonderland", Phoebe wants to play "Alice in Wonderland", the goals of the three come together so wonderfully, this is A coincidence? In order to play Alice, Phoebe listened to what her only friend said to keep praying to God or keep doing things she didn't like, Phoebe chose the latter, she kept jumping upstairs and upstairs Finally, I finally fulfilled my wish, got the opportunity to play Alice's Alice, and finally completed the performance perfectly. If it's that simple, then this is indeed a joyous children's play. However, here's what happened: She kept washing her hands before her audition for Alice, because she felt her hands were always dirty and couldn't be washed, nearly missed the audition, and she washed her hands in blood at home Direct current, but uncontrollable, she can't help repeating what others have said, she knows certain things she shouldn't do, but she can't control herself to do them, such as spitting on classmates who are chasing her in games, unconsciously calling her the only one Friend Glass; she had to see a psychiatrist, but her mother didn't believe the psychiatrist's conclusion, and simply dismissed the psychiatrist, which resulted in a heated argument with her father;

After watching this movie, many people don't know what to say, and don't know what the director wants to express. In fact, I think what the director wants to express is very simple: this is a repressed world, we cannot do what we want to do, say what we want to say, we must be bound by the rules of this world. Phoebe can't control herself very well, so she doesn't fit in with the real world, her mother near the end of the movie says that Phoebe just wants to go somewhere else, Alice's Wonderland is such a world, you can say whatever you want Say whatever you want, do whatever you want, no logic, no rules, so Phoebe sees Wonderland frequently. And Mr. Dodger let them play, they could do whatever they wanted, which was also in line with Phoebe's mood, so Phoebe liked Mr. Dodger very much. Not only Phoebe, but even Phoebe's father, a seemingly mature and rational adult, couldn't fully control himself. If he suppressed it for a long time, even if he knew he couldn't say it, he couldn't help but blurt out. Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of Ji Kang, the talented man who does not stick to worldly prejudice, who is free to behave in his own way. I always didn’t understand the way of doing things of the people at that time, but now I realize that I stick to the grid that the world has set for us to watch them talk and do things, and think they are ridiculous, but when I break the grid and look at them again, I find that they are actually them. It is the most authentic self, and they are the people who live the purest and most comfortable life.

Can anyone tell me where to find such a wonderland and live a life that is not in a grid?
