英國十九世紀作家兼牛津大學數學講師Lewis Carroll 1871年出版兒童文學作品《愛麗絲鏡中奇遇 (Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There)》,2016年改編成電影《愛麗絲夢遊仙境2:穿越魔鏡 (Alice Through the Looking Glass)》。
呢套電影係我近年來最深刻嘅奇幻片。由愛麗絲小女孩角度出發,探討嘅卻係「大人」都解答唔到嘅人生課題——關於時間、關於勇氣、關於愛。
有趣嘅係電影將抽象嘅概念擬人化,例如「時間」係一個人。愛麗絲同時間先生講嘅以下一席話,亦係電影入面我最鍾意嘅語錄,送俾大家:
“I used to think time was a thief. But you give before you take. Time is a gift. Every minute. Every second.”
- Alice to Time, Alice through the Looking Glass
