Mom talked me into reading A Wrinkle In Time so I could understand this strange movie....It's very very wierd. I don't get it. [livejournal.com profile] mdlbear said that this movie defies all the laws of gravity. In case he forgets, this is a fictional story/movie.....it's because of this strangeness & my lack of understanding that I actually have to read the book. Unfortunatly, my sister, she who doesn't understand any of the concepts in the story at all, refuses to read the book. She's such a pain, she won't read anything unless she's forced to read it by some strange power of nature by the teacher. It's just so wierd.

A Wrinkle In Time and the other books by Madeleine L'Engle are trips, in the 1960's sense. Though tonight's movie REALLY changed some things from the books.

So they made a Wrinkle in Time movie? The mind boggles.
Wrinkle in Time merges existentialism with totalitarianism (in the fullest "1984" sense) in surreal ways. I can't see how well that would translate, because existentialism doesn't translate well to movies to begin with, and the current climate of spin-controlled politics is starting to impact a little too heavily into the real world for a movie to deal too much with it. (Sort of the way they rewrote Robin Hood to have him fight satanists, not tax collectors and evil government, for the Cosner movie.)
