2010 Alice in Wonderland's philosophical question extracted from the original works is a classic existential mystery: Who am I?

At the beginning of the film, Alice, as a marriageable young woman, is a little rebellious in her dress, but bears the expectation of her mother and society in making important choices-marrying the powerful and choosing an easy life path. According to Freud's theory, alice's superego here has the authority to guide Alice's behavior through years of environmental influence, and even to guide Alice to do acts against Alice's inner will and marry a loser.

However, these external expectations and Alice's natural impulse formed a contradiction, which made Alice struggle, so she ran away in full view. Pure psychological analysis will think that Alice's falling into rabbit hole is an act of escaping from reality through fantasy. In wonderland, a dreamland reborn world, Alice found familiar and memorable details, as well as animals and people who could recognize herself.

Wonderland, the fantasy world of Alice, which had hoped to escape the social expectation, did not get its wish, but fell into the whirlpool of wonderland factional struggle. With the help of jabberwocky, the Red Queen put wonderland under her capricious and brutal rule. In order to avoid becoming the furniture of the Red Queen, all kinds of creatures have to flee to the wilderness. The talking animals told Alice that her fate had already been chosen. She returned to wonderland to become the white queen's warrior and slay jabberwocky with her own hands.

To the request to save the chaos in a crisis, Alice replied simply, "you mistook one for another!" “

The dream in this story is undoubtedly the reflection of the real world. Alice is still escaping the expectation of the world. Of course, I would rather marry a loser than slaying a dragon.

Of course Alice didn't do this. Like most young women of this age, Alice's choice is not to choose.

Alice's adventure was reborn from the ashes of the original work and became interesting here. There is no doubt that this story is about the choice of who I am and what kind of life I want to live. And it's a big problem. Alice must make a choice before the end of the film-whatever it is.

If Tim Burton only expressed the confrontation between the White Queen and the Evil, he would be no different from the general Hollywood directors. Tim Burton mischievously portrayed the White Queen as a boring, hypocritical and contrived cook. Let the audience not be sure whether it is worth killing the dragon for her.

And this is not the reality? Which political group is really worth dying for?

But sincerely, a leader who promises not to kill, but encourages others to kill, seems to be kinder than a leader who actively destroys all kinds of creatures. Therefore, votes can only be cast for the hypocritical White Queen.

But Alice's proposition is not about political inclination, but about her personal choice. Alice's sympathy for mad hatter induced her self-growth and firmness after seeing wonderland's miserable life. By going deep into the castle of the Red Queen to rescue Mad Hatter, she faced her fears for the first time, and went to the castle of the White Queen (both castles were converted from disney Castle), which prompted Alice to confront her inner choice and external expectation step by step.

Alice finally had to face the reality that she had been avoiding: when the people's expectation fell on her again, she collapsed under the huge mental pressure.

The caterpillars of the wise give Alice insight into her life experience - she once came to Wonderland as a child and became a hero here, but at this time she doesn't remember.

Freud will reveal that the choices we make in childhood, because they are not constrained by the "superego", often come from simple natural desires, and this period represents our freedom.With the growth of society, "superego" is becoming more and more powerful, and our natural desire is more and more constrained.Alice's choice to become a hero is just the natural choice of her heart, which is to break through the constraints of "superego".

Alice has been quoted in the hacker empire, and here Tim Burton makes Alice realize her true self again."Self knowledge" creates self-confidence. Instead of stopping the bullet, Alice can behead Jabberwocky with her own strength.

Alice and caterpillars have gone through metamorphosis together. Her thoughts from dreams have helped her find her way in reality.Alice refused the engagement in front of the public, blessed her sister, mocked the powerful, and showed off her underwear.
