The extraordinary movie A Wrinkle In Time is Oprah Winfrey's chef d'oeuvre, in all its filmic mediocrity. Through it she is able to project her spiritual beliefs through clumsy and inarticulate language, yet powerful in its simplicity. The movie is supposedly made for children; it is a Disney film with a PG (Parental Guidance) rating.
PG: Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents urged to give "parental guidance". May contain some material parents might not like for their young children.Here is the rating for G:
G – General AudiencesThe movie is a really a story made for adults who can come with their children. In effect, through simplistic child language, and a "fairy tale" ambiance, Oprah has lured the adult population to watch her path. And she is willing to sacrifice the innocence and psychopsychic safety of the young children to do so. She is using the children as a shield to cover up her intent.
All ages admitted. Nothing that would offend parents for viewing by children.
I will go into depth about this movie which I have now watched three tims (well 2 1/2). I took as much notes as I could since the film script is not yet available online.
A main theme in the film is that it is a young child (the protagonist sure to win - initially at least - the attention of those six-year-olds) who guides a couple of older children (in their early teens) through a maze of nefarious landscapes. They are out to save the world before the dark force, The It, takes over. The adults meanwhile are scientists busy creating, or getting lost in, their latest astro-physics equation. They are outlying the world through which these young intergalaxy troopers navigate. As one of the scientist says: "I wanted to shake with the Universe." Oprah, one of three "Misses," is Mrs. Which (yes it is that obvious) who appears in her shimmering gown of sparkles (yes she is the light that should overpower the darkness ) along with the other two to guide these children to The It.
