Holding onto the past to try to change it is a mistake. It’s not something we should forget, but we must leave it where it belongs, in its time (past) and space. “You might not change the past but you might learn something from it.” What happened in the past, stays in the past.
#Alice through the looking glass film quotes everyone movie
The movie gives it a whole new definition… or it reaffirms it in a masterly way. “Everything in its proper time and place.” We often hear this phrase. “Man can neither make, nor retain, one moment of time it all comes to him by pure gift” (C.S Lewis). That every time we open our eyes, we are given one more day on Earth and we can’t get attached since the time that was given to us, sooner or later, ends.
It’s good to become aware that all these things are gifts we receive. What a phrase: “I used to think time was a thief.” How many times has it crossed our minds that someone or something “stole a minute of my time”? Or that “time slipped through my fingers”? As humans, we tend to appropriate things that are not really ours. We take possession of what is given to us daily and we forget that the time we dispose of as if we’d won it is, in reality, a gift from God. These are the fundamental points to take into account after (or before) watching the movie:įrequently, one is on the run and has “no time to lose.” We assume that time is our own and that we give it out freely.
It poses many subjects that no one can ignore, for instance: time as something gifted to us, the relationship with our family members and the conscience that there is no time like the present. To succeed, she will have to meet the personification of time. In the “land of dreams,” Alicia finds out that the Mad Hatter is agonizing and that saving his family, who all died in the past, is the only cure to save him.
Before Alicia can make her decision, she has to grow up regarding a couple of things, and, what’s better than a good trip to Wonderland to achieve this? She’s forced to choose between her father’s ship and her family’s house. After spending 3 years on an expedition to China, Alicia goes back to London to find out that her ex-boyfriend, Hamish, has assumed the leadership of her father’s company. Once again we stumble upon Alicia Kingsleigh, who’s now a little older (because obviously, time goes by). But one of the movies that has very rich content to discuss is the latest installment of the Alice in Wonderland saga: Alice Through the Looking Glass. His signature artistic imprint in his films, each and every one which he’s directed and produced, is the tendency to the strange and grotesque.Īmong the titles that can be found on his CV we find « The Nightmare Before Christmas,» «Edward Scissorhands» and «Big Fish,» to mention a few. Tim Burton is, without a doubt, one of the most symbolic directors of the 20th century and the beginning of this century.
