Not everything is as it seems. Experience A Wrinkle In Time

I had the honor of viewing A Wrinkle in Time before it came to theaters today. Before I get into my honest opinion of the movie I want to talk about how we see things. Not everything is as it seems. Experience A Wrinkle In Time

Not everything is as it seems. Experience A Wrinkle In Time

Everyone has a different eye

While one person might see the number 6 someone else might see the number 9. It’s all about perspective. It’s all about how you were taught as a child, your background, your environment all of it….all of it helps us to see things as an adult. Do you ever see a happy couple and then the next thing you know one of them is in jail for beating the other one. We see on the surface that they are happy but not everything is as it seems. We assume and then we are shocked because our minds didn’t look beyond the surface. Social media will have you thinking that bloggers make a lot of money but these bloggers don’t tell you is that some of them use products as cash, some of them have husbands or help in other ways to pay bills, some of them know someone who can get them with the right people. It’s all about perspective! My mother always taught me to be fair, to listen to more than one side of a story and only trust what you see.

“If you didn’t see it with your own eyes don’t trust it with someone else eyes. ”

I see things differently sometimes, which makes me different. Always question things and trust your gut. Never take things at face value just because it looks good. Everything that looks good ain’t good as my mama used to say.

So I went to A Wrinkle in Time on Tuesday evening. I didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t read the book. Most of the time the book you read has nothing to do with the movie itself. I heard that the movie wasn’t good for a lot of people but of course, me being me I don’t listen to people. Sometimes what’s good to me isn’t good to them and vice versa. So my kids and I went to see it before it hit theaters. The movie was interesting. I won’t say it was the best Disney Movie I have seen but it was a good movie with a few lessons. I think the movie itself could have used a little work as far as the character developments and the story being told but all in all, I think the movie has potential. You will have to take your mind back to that of a child and look at it from a child’s perspective. I think that is the only way you will enjoy the movie. If you don’t have an imagination then you won’t like it.

My favorite part of the movie…..

wasn’t actually a part but the visual aspects of it. I enjoyed that more. To see the flowers come alive, to see one of the characters change into something totally unexpected, to see the strength of a young girl who loved her father dearly. Those are the parts of the movie I truly loved. While some people say it’s not good for a child I thought it was good for my 8-year-old. My 11-year-old didn’t really love the movie but he did like the visuals. My daughter loved the storyline itself and said she wanted to learn more about time and the universe. Two different kids, two different perspectives.

The movie hits theaters today!

If you go and see it be openminded and see it with a different eye than how you normally see things. One of the main themes of the movie is to be a warrior and you saw some of that in the movie. What I loved the most is that the women were being celebrated more in the film as the warrior. We don’t get to see that often. Women rock and we can be and do anything we want. That was probably the greatest lesson that I got from the film. We as women can be a lot of things if we don’t let our faults stop us. Know your faults, be proud of who you are, and fight for what you want.

Will you be going to see the movie? Have you read the book?
