This is SUCH a wonderful movie...Easily hands down one of my favorites. It has to do with a little girl, a fantasy world, and a real, disabling disease that affects her life in many ways. My cousin who has since passed had tourette's syndrome, and it's just a beautiful depiction of a child trying to overcome this. The difficulties, the emotions, the obstacles, the family, a little girl and a dream. I just loved it, I'm so glad I watched this movie.
"And who are you?"
Alice said, "I... I hardly know, sir. At least I knew who I was when I got up this morning,
but I think I must have changed several times sine then."
'What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. 'Explain yourself!'
'I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, 'because I'm not myself, you see.'
'I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.
'I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, 'for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.'
'It isn't,' said the Caterpillar.
'Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet,' said Alice; 'but when you have to turn into a chrysalis--you will some day, you know--and then after that into a butterfly, I think you'll feel a odd.'
'Not a bit,' said the Caterpillar.
'Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,' said Alice; 'all I know is, it would feel very odd to me.'
'You!' said the Caterpillar contemptuously. 'Who are you?'
