Soon, the White Knight upon his saddle is steadying himself by placing his hand on Alice's head as she walks with him beside his horse. And, when I saw the mousetrap on the back of the horse, it immediately correlated with my White Knight's research with mice and rats. And when the White Knight falls in the ditch and Alice asks him how he can remain so calm when he's always falling off his horse, he replies, "My body may be here, but my mind is still working," just exactly the same as my White Knight who was a brilliant research scientist whose body was betraying him. The block on his back is showing the very letters, P, H, D. Imagine my astonishment and the tears welling up in my eyes when the White Knight first struggles to get up and back on his horse. And Alice sees the White Knight's struggle and rushes to help him as I did for my White Knight who was a Ph.D.
At hour 1:01:00 of the film when Gary Cooper as the White Knight emerges from the path on the hill and keeps falling of his horse, it reminded me of my dear sweetheart and all the physical battles he faced every day, but he just kept keeping at it without any complaint, just like the White Knight, no matter how many times he fell he'd get right back up and at it. I looked up this childhood favorite to seek some familiar comfort. I just lost him last month and am utterly crushed and undone. I always called my sweetheart my shining White Knight. I love how it veers from the tranquil opening scene and becomes 'curiouser and curiouser,' as it should, as it goes along. With Alice Through the Looking Glass and Alice in Wonderland being my favorite childhood stories, this 1933 version of the stories is my quintessential favorite film.
