Queens Gambit is self-referential Alice in Wonderland

[kavaris]

The white rabbit is just Alice-ah—Beth's desire—pulling her towards Wonderland. The twins are like the introduction (Tweedledee & Tweedledum) to a foreign-land. She has a crush on whathisface, Townes aka the cheshire cat (who sometimes appears as the caterpillar)."Eccentric tea party host" who could that be? Benny Watts is the religious-interlude (at one part in the movie, she tells her mom to stop listening to Alan Watts) The mad hatter-and his obsession w/ his black hat, who acts as an intermediary for her—wherein, shes gotta think about what shes even doin', like what is up-down, left-right. Where is wonderland (is it in russia?) how does she get there? Harry Beltik, he could be any number of the original alice in wonderland characters: dodo, the doorknob. Anyway, in the end, Beth is her own Queen of Hearts, her own villain that she has to overcome. The movie ends w/ her playing public chess w/ a random group of ppl—a chess match within a chess match.

The only thing about Queens Gambit, is that Benny Watts hairstyle is too modern looking. I cant imagine anyone would have hair like that in 1940, til atleast like 1970... but i suppose its possible... Although if longer hair was a thing hundreds of years ago, i guesse tis possible... Maybe its tryina capture the reocurring nature of hairstyles (that which returns every 33 years)

yes, love as well as drugs... doing drugs cause they didnt receive love, or some just do it for escapism reasons " and such... sometimes its just like, the infinite realization is what it is... and then search is, well its unusual.

oh wait a minute..

[kavaris]

its like the infinite vacuum cycle, that is, the loop goes inward, on & on & on, how many layers deep? who knows. it seems to just be an unrealized-how-deep-the-loop loop

That might even be how the original book goes... who knows; havent read it in awhile....
