This is very friggin' wierd.
May. 10th, 2004 08:53 pmMom 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.
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.

Date: 2004-05-11 05:07 pm (UTC)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.)
