Finally, I knew the story of ALiCe in WonderLand!


Heard a lot of Alice in Wonderland, tumbling down the rabbit hole. But never really knew what the fuck is all that until yesterday. No, I won't be silly enough to read the book. But the summarized version in the movie format, I am all for it. Actually, i didn't think it will be this good. It is actually a fantasy film, but with a heavy dash of comedy nature in it, and it does convey strong message...

It teaches you this:


1. Always believe the impossible, and do it. People will laugh at you, say that you're bonkers, but worry not, for all the great men are once bonkers too.

The Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad?
[Alice checks Hatter's temperature]
Alice Kingsley: I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Lord Ascot: Charles, you have lost your senses? This picture is impossible.
Charles Kingsleigh: Precisely. Gentlemen, the only way to achieve the impossible, is to believe it's possible.

2. Don't always accept what is served upon you just to please the masses. If you don't like it, say NO and do what you really want.


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Alice Kingsley: Who's to say what is "proper"? What if it was agreed that "proper" was wearing a codfish on your head? Would you wear it?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Alice Kingsley: From the moment I fell down that rabbit hole I've been told where I must go and who I must be. I've been shrunk, stretched, scratched, and stuffed into a teapot. I've been accused of being Alice and of not being Alice but this is *my* dream. *I'll* decide where it goes from here.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


3. Enjoy yourselves when the time has come...


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Mad Hatter: When that day comes I shall futterwacken... vigorously.

what i understand from the movie "BIG"


This movie starring Tom Hanks is probably being made even before i was born. But a good movie is like a good photo, it lasts through time. And i think this is one of it...at least for me.

From what i saw and understand, the conclusion is this:

We have all lost the child within us. In fact being adult is sometimes so fucking plain boring and uninteresting. In order to become BIG, we actually have to be SMALL...again.
