follow the rabbit down the rabbit hole...need i say more? yes desos rent it, its my favorite disney movie of all time...fuckn fantastic!! yes blockbuster will have it (should anyway)
I love Alice in Wonderland. One of the only movies I will watch on acid. It makes me think that the movie is all about tripping and everyone who made it was on acid.
Lol I do believe the movie producers were on acid, but Lewis Carroll was definitely not. Since it wasn't in existence around his time, he could have possibly done it. Although, it does seem like he would have been..... Anyway, he was just an extremely creative and imaginative fellow. Read the book, it's so much better than the movie!
He probably was on mescaline. Haha, most of the famed philosophers were doing mescaline. Like Sartre.
As great as the movie is, the books make it seem like the least surreal thing in the world by comparison. I think that Lewis Carroll was on opiates... probably Laudanum. Everyone was on Laudanum back then. And to actually try to answer the question... The white rabbit starts out symbolizing the impossible and the surreal, then becomes something unattainable and mysterious, and then becomes something available and comforting but maybe a bit of a let down. The white rabbit was the motivation for the journey, along with the garden, and trying to get back home. But eventually each of those things becomes unimportant and the whole trip becomes about the trip itself (more or less). So the white rabbit is the first glimpse of magic and chaos, that at first is irresistable but eventually becomes nothing special. At least, I think so.
this is off topic, and it never quite made sense, but all I've ever heard was that Lewis Carooll was on opium...i know what you're thinking, but i think there is actually some stuff written about this topic...thought i'd share
he had some mental condition where people would shrink and grow. kind of psychotic, like he was tripping all the time but it was a natural condition.
good question. I pretty sure he used it as a attraction for people instead of having a regular person leading a little girl to a forest.
As a matter of fact Lewis Carroll was a migraineur...it was found that he suffered extensively from migraines and afterwards (or during-bless his heart), had the wherewithall to record his experiences, resulting in this wonderful tale. Personally, I've had a similar experience not just with migraines but on medications where incredible, scary, and painful hallucinations occured. It was amazing but by the time I felt well enough to record it , to many details became muddled so I haven't bothered...
