But now, I'm not called Alice, and I can't think of a weird thing every day, week and year.
I was imprisoned, we were imprisoned, I was imprisoned from the dream, I was imprisoned from the potion that could grow bigger and smaller, I was imprisoned from the madman's afternoon tea and the palace of the Queen of Hearts.
We have grown up. The word that imprisons us is called "should". What should girls be like, what boys should be like, what kind of adults should be, what kind of school should I go to, what kind of job should I do, what kind of person should I marry. How the movie should be shot, what Alice should look like, what clothes should she wear, and what should she do.
However, isn't Alice the mirror of each of our childhoods? Wasn't her dream the fantasy of each of us as a child? Why is there a "should", why is there a mold to fit her in? Why can she only become one Alice?
As in the prologue of this defensive edition of The Annotated Alice, there is a poem called Alice, Where Art Thou wrote
Quaint child, old-fashioned Alice, lend your dream:
I would be done with modern story-spinners,
Follow with you the laughter and the gleam:
Weary am I, this night, of saints and sinners.
We have been friends since Lewis and old Tenniel
Housed you immortally in red and gold.
Come! Your naivete is a spring perennial:
Let me be young again before I'm old.
You are a glass of youth: this night I choose
Deep in your magic labyrinths to stray,
Where rants the Red Queen in her splendid hues
And the White Rabbit hurries on his way.
Let us once more adventure, hand in hand:
Give me belief again—in Wonderland!
Later in the introductory part it says that Alice wasn't actually a story for American children, it wasn't even written A story for most children, because there are some jokes in it, some are implicitly limited to England, even Oxford, and some are limited to little Liddell - this story is dedicated to Dean Liddell's little daughter (wonderful). It seems that most of the world famous children's novels are dedicated to little girls, such as Narnia is dedicated to little Lucy, and HP is dedicated to JKR's own daughter). Because of its popularity, when schools and society have made it serious, canonical, and in-depth, it has become difficult to read.
Because everyone seems to have forgotten an original fact - it's popular because it has no theme, incoherence, quirky, whimsical, not only children find resonance here, but adults more or less I will recall a little bit of my childhood from these seemingly inexorable ravings. Alice is popular because she doesn't take the usual path, she is special, novel, bold and rebellious.
It turns out that Alice in TB's heart is like this~~~ Wonderland in his dream is like this.
If I were a kid, of course I'd still love to watch a little blond girl chasing a rabbit in a three-piece suit with a pocket watch into a magical world, talking to caterpillars, having afternoon tea with dormouse, and The Queen of Hearts plays hedgehog cricket with flamingos and then flips all the cards over with a 'cut off their heads' - how fun. Just like at that time, every day after school, I would go home with a girl holding hands. She told me all my dreams, and I, who almost never dream, would always make up some for her, making her eyes wide and happy. look. Those are just dreams, just games, things that don't need to be taken too seriously.
Then we grew up. She grew into a normal adult and forgot her childhood dreams, while I grew into a weird ka and began to daydream... At this time, I prefer to see that Alice, who was just an ordinary child, grow up into a I was the same weird ka, and then took the sword that should be called "will" after playing with words, and slashed at the fate that looked so ugly and disgusting, and still looked like an Acropolis (or should I say Narnia-- Disney should not be the place to recycle the background), wearing such shiny armor, with such a brilliant pose~~~ This is another kind of heroism, only in TB movies, with what world and universe? It doesn't matter, just blame the selfish heroism of ka to strengthen his existence, find his true self, and save his life.
If you take Alice's dream to Lord Ferguson, I don't know how much he can analyze how many childhood abuses, neglect, lack of fatherly love or love for fathers and so on. I have always felt that Yi exaggerated these correspondences too much. However, the screenwriter of this movie should be a fan of Lao Fu, but he really tried his best to correspond to it. The twin sisters are dull twin brothers, the white queen is Alice's kind and innocent sister who needs her protection, and the knight of hearts Styane is a mixed version of the cheating brother-in-law and her fiancé. Bander or something is a taboo in this world - children grow up like this. When they were young, they naively thought that no one would hurt them. They didn't know how to be afraid until they were scratched. But if you are blindly afraid, you will never get your sword back. Only by facing up to fear and taming it will the wounds of the past heal and become a memorial or even an honor.
Only the Mad Hatter, I had some arguments with D, I thought it was the lover, but I thought it was the father.
On the carriage, Alice used the hat to refute her mother's criticism of her dress, and said, "If it was Dad, he would be happy", and the hat has always been a symbol of the Mad Hatter. In Alice's dream, he represents "breaking the rules." At first everyone doubted whether she was Alice, only the Mad Hatter believed that she was the Alice, and even sacrificed her life for her, Alice also told him what her father said to her when she was a child, in reality At the dance, Alice said to the redhead, "I'm thinking girls wear trousers and boys wear skirts", and in the final battle, Alice wears a boy's armor and the Mad Hatter wears an English skirt - there is only one in this world who can match Alice is crazy, and when she grows up, she becomes him.
So when the Mad Hatter says, "You can still choose to stay," it means we can choose not to grow up too. But Alice said no, because in our lives we have questions to answer, careers to accomplish, and responsibilities to take on. This is clearly not a movie made for children - how can a child know that when the whole world wears that, only you are unwilling to wear a petticoat, how blamed for such a simple thing, how can a child know that the whole world Waiting for you to say yes, but you can't convince yourself, how difficult it will be to make such a personal decision. Kids should watch Alice's animated version, there is no bloody scene like cutting off the faucet.
This movie is there to comfort and encourage all the weirdos. So it will have a theme - transformation. Those of us who were fascinated by the story as children were also tossed between worldly vision and our own ideals when Alice in the movie grew up from a carefree little girl to the need to make the biggest decision of her life. Almost broke.
"As long as you insist on being yourself, you will always find your own sky", you may be too easy to declare this coming-of-age ceremony, classmate TB, but I still like to hear it. And there are so many beautiful colors used in this movie - especially blue. Blue represents freedom and hope...Although the crooked-neck tree in the Valley of the Dead is standing at the entrance of Wonderland, and although Uncle JD came to match loli again, classmate TB is not gothic this time. I really see it. not used to it
Speaking of TB classmates, are you a Narnia fan like me? I say no matter how much you like that set of books, this kind of "riding a god lion named Aslan, the son of the brave and righteous Adam and the daughter of the benevolent and wise Eve has ruled the kingdom for many, many years" A decent story is not suitable for you to shoot, you can just YY yourself, you don't need to do anything~~~ You know~~~ to prove that you can make this kind of film - that last shot was too Disney, look It made me very uncomfortable, only the last hack was very gothic.
It's HP, and I was extremely depressed when I didn't find you back then. However, it is still very time-consuming to hear lines such as "my favorite trio" and "silly little girl", especially the voice of the truth bug is Professor Snape, that "silly little girl" almost made me laugh ( Uncle AR, I forbid you to say this line in any movie in the future!) I said if you could just ask Emma Watson to play Alice, then it would be time to die like Sweeney Todd. It is said that Uncle AR's voice and the face of the truth are inexplicably matched (all: You were beaten by Leo's fans last time, and this time you want to offend AR's fans?)
Although I like JD very much, he Even if I do nothing and stand there for 40 minutes, I can hc for 40 minutes without taking a break, but the role of the Mad Hatter seems too easy for him. On the contrary, Helena likes me very much. The Queen of Hearts is ugly and cute. Disney must release this version of the doll~~~ I also have to wear her crown, those weird hats, and those little shoes with red hearts on the soles. It's so cute. Especially Helena opened her exaggerated eyelashes and shouted "cut off Yi's head" with her heart-shaped mouth. She's almost never normal in the movie! Even if you lend it to the HP crew, it's not normal!) If you have a head circumference, I don't mind cosplaying her.
But I think classmate TB's royal LP is just as afraid of being slapped by him as his royal male protagonist. It seems that JD said that if TB wanted to make a movie with only the action of changing the light bulb, he would also be willing to do it (to the point), I said that if TB really made such a movie, and the male lead was JD, I would also be willing to go. Look. It's a thing between queer ka and queer ka. Because they used to console me, TB movies have been reassuring me that being weird isn't a bad thing, it's a lovely thing at times. Even if sometimes we are not accepted by the outside world and have to hide in a castle on the mountain alone, we still have our own world, a peaceful and real world, and sometimes, we can change the rules of the game and make the world obey Because of our weirdness (like Alice taming that Bander or something) - these two classmates healed my panic time and time again, so in return I should naturally heal their box office when needed (although Alice's box office doesn't have to be saved by me La. In fact, it is very difficult to see the 3D version. It is almost impossible to buy tickets on the spot (hey, I just said something "impossible"), you have to book online 3 hours in advance, Entering the venue half an hour earlier to grab a good spot - it's almost as difficult as watching Avatar)
So I will only say good things about TB classmates here - I always do this.
PS: The beauty finger and the costume stylist of this movie are so loving~~~ The castle that should have been cute and decent but became weird because of too many red hearts (even the guillotine is red hearts, I took it) , as well as those clothes that look normal at first glance but are either patterns or hidden in the shape (I love the shoes of the Queen of Hearts)~~~
