“The best way to make the impossible possible is to believe it is possible.”
This is what Alice's father said at the beginning of the film "Alice in Wonderland" (version 10). Alice's father told his business partners a plan that was crazy at the time, but was opposed by the collective. However, the far-sighted father insisted on his idea despite all the objections. In the picture, he said the above words loudly and loudly.
Now that I have mentioned this fairy tale, I have to say that "Alice in Wonderland" has a very special place in my heart. Alice is obviously different from other protagonists in fairy tales. In "Cinderella", it was the kindness of the kind witch that changed Cinderella's rough fate. In "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", it is the affectionate kiss of the handsome prince that restores Snow White to her noble status. However, only in "Alice in Wonderland" (10th edition), Alice relies on herself. This fairy tale made me understand that a girl's destiny is most reliable when she holds it in her own hands.
In reality, no one will hold the crown with both hands, and the crowning only won by oneself will not be illusory.

In the movie "Alice in Wonderland" (version 10), Alice's growth path was not smooth, but she never lost her fearless spirit of persevering in herself and daring to question.
Alice has been curious about the world since she was a child, and she often has strange dreams about falling into rabbit holes, which troubles the young Alice. After waking up from another dream, Alice frowned and asked her father if he thought she was crazy. Father looked kindly into Alice's clear eyes and replied——
"I'm afraid so. You're crazy, stupid, and out of your mind.
But good people often do this. "
Alice smiled happily. She was encouraged by her father, who was also unique.
Thirteen years later, Alice has grown up. One day, Alice went to an afternoon tea party according to her mother's wishes. In the carriage, Alice's mother discovered that Alice was not wearing a bra or stockings. Alice's mother was angry for such an "unruly" daughter. However, Alice was not timid. She bravely argued with her mother: "What are the rules? What if people think that wearing a lizard as a hat is the right thing to do. Isn't this so funny?" Looking at Ellie in the picture There was no timidity in her face, and I couldn't help but be attracted to her. What she said was like a stone thrown into the lake of my soul, causing ripples in circles.
We are born to accept all the established rules in the world with peace of mind, but never ask why or why. Does the so-called political correctness in our minds really not need to be questioned at all?
I think of Zhou Haihong, a very forthright and reflective professor. He once raised a question to students at the Central Conservatory of Music – People often say that music must be loyal to the original work, but what exactly is the "original work"?
As the film progressed, I began to think about this question.
At this time, Alice still didn't know that this tea party was actually an engagement party specially prepared for her. Alice learned all this when everything was ready. Alice is shocked and confused – she doesn't know yet whether to marry the aristocratic man Hamish.
But her sister persuaded Alice as someone who had experienced it. She told Alice that she would not stay young forever, and she should not become a lonely person like her aunt, let alone become a burden to her mother. Therefore, marrying a noble man is the best choice at this time.
What Alice faces is one of the most common problems faced by young people in real life. The elders looked at young people of different ages and couldn't bear to let them waste their youth, so they enthusiastically arranged one blind date after another. During the holidays, talking with relatives and urging marriage are inevitable, which makes young people avoid it and often triggers heated discussions on the Internet. What's even more frightening is that if you are not satisfied with the person you are dating, you will often be taught by your elders to "don't be too demanding."
Adults not only treat their children's marriage and love this way, but also discuss work and life. At the dinner table, there are often pot-bellied old people teaching young people: It is better to have a stable job, and civil servants are good. Don't rely on your youth to act recklessly. You will regret it when you are old. "It's hard to reject the kindness, and the children can only agree with it. But over time, will the fire in their hearts be slowly extinguished by these unique experiences?
I think what these elders don’t know is that young people ultimately have to walk their own path, and they are all indispensable for the experience of failure.

Alice, like everyone else, doesn't know how to face all this. At this time, she chose to escape.
Alice quickly escapes the proposal and accidentally falls into the same rabbit hole as in her childhood dreams.
It turns out that Alice has come to a fantasy underground world. In this world, bodies can suddenly grow small and large, animals can speak, cats can disappear out of thin air, everything is so wonderful.
However, Alice faced another problem.
The prophecy scroll predicts that Alice will defeat the Explosive Dragon on the glorious day and restore light and hope to the underground world. Under the bloody and tyrannical rule of the Red Queen, everyone is eager for Alice to save them, and everyone keeps reminding Alice to kill the Explosive Neck.
Alice was confused again. It's obviously my dream, so why am I not myself in the dream, and why do I still have to be pushed away by others?
Alice gradually becomes unsure whether she is the person she thought she was since she was a child, or the Alice others say she is.
The same goes for us in real life, as if our life trajectory has been prescribed since we were born. No one has ever asked themselves, what do you want to do.
But if others don’t ask, can you be insensitive?
When I was a child, the teacher asked the children what they wanted to be when they grew up, and every childish face had their own answer. Teachers, astronauts, scientists, doctors, etc., etc., although they were young at that time, they were never timid. Everyone's heart is full of curiosity and desire for the future.
Time flies, and the children back then have grown up. But when they grew up, the children lived blindly like this, without dreams or desires, and quietly became another potbellied "passer" at the dinner table.
As they grow up, they gradually forget themselves and the fire hidden in their young hearts.
The ancient Greek sages traveled through time and space and told us – know yourself.
In the film, the wise caterpillar also reminds Alice not to lose herself.
Fortunately, little Alice, who has liked to ask why since she was a child and dared to question adults, is still around 13 years later.
As the White Queen reminded Alice, the choice is yours.
In the end, Alice still strengthened her idea despite being constantly confused and at a loss, and she loudly told the world——
I want to make my own way!
What's even more gratifying is that this idea has been deeply buried in Alice's heart from the beginning. No matter how the outside world changes, she has never given up.
Therefore, Alice has never lost herself despite being hit again and again in the underground world.
Alice clearly knows that she is the Alice who was fearless and dared to question since she was a child.
Even if I do want to kill a dynamite, it will be because I want to do it, not because someone else tells me to do it.
I think that when Alice raised her sword high and faced the huge and ugly Explosive Neck Dragon, she had already solved the difficult problem of who I am and what I am going to do.

At the end of the film, Alice returns to the real world. This time, she no longer chose to escape. She mustered up the courage to tell the adults——
I can't marry Hamish, I don't like him;
This is my life, I should decide what to do
I will find the direction of my life.
In the end, Alice followed her heart and became a businessman with lofty ambitions across oceans.
This was an unprecedented first time in the environment Alice was in at that time, and it was a crazy move in everyone's eyes. But Alice knew exactly what she wanted to do.
Alice always knew what she really wanted.
The film is over, and Professor Zhou Haihong's answer to the question of "loyalty to the original work" has emerged – music has never been loyal to the original work, and the so-called loyalty to the original work is nothing more than loyalty to authority. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if there was right and wrong in music? But in reality, many people will never question this statement and will only bow to the so-called authority of the original work.
People who never think about established opinions will naturally never face moments of inner reflection.
Acceptance is the greatest skill these people learn as they grow up.
The little girl shown in the film who is always curious about the world left an indelible memory in my heart. The reason why Alice is different from other princesses in fairy tales is because she has beautiful qualities that people today are so lacking – not forgetting her original intention, insisting on herself, and daring to question.
This summer’s most popular online variety show, “Hip-Hop in China,” also tried to convey a hip-hop spirit to the public—keep real. It is this "keep real" quality that I see in Alice. Alice has grown from a cute little lolita to a young girl in her prime. What remains unchanged is that she will always be the most real girl in the fairy tale world.
Time will eventually lose the protection of its warm wings. As we continue to grow, maintaining ourselves in troubled times is the greatest success.
