I'm a child-prodigy who has wanted to travel across the universe and back via tesseract ever since I read the books as a child, I have red curly hair, and have since traded my glasses for contacts, but I always thought I was Meg -and expected to find and marry my Calvin... The ethnicity of characters in the movie doesn't work, and I adore Oprah, but her lackluster delivery of lines made me turn off the torrents download I'm watching on my phone.

I don't want to criticize, I really do love the young actress playing Meg, but being an epic fan of the books, I fully expected Meg to have my curly red hair and freckles. I did love Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling has a voice like a bell. Beyond that, c'mon Oprah. I need to sit down and have a talk with her.

I also downloaded the ebook trilogy by Madeline L'engle, as an author, she was a hero and an inspiration to young genius children.

My 5 year old reading list, a wrinkle in time trilogy, the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, life the universe and everything, do androids dream of electric sheep, and we have always lived in the castle. I think I had too much access to my parents bookshelf.

An anime adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time will be produced by Disney and Ame Pippin!

Hey guys, this book was iconic to me when I was a kid, but the symbolism in the book never really struck me until I was in high school a couple years back. This may have been realized already, but I have found that L'engle made camatotz what she figured Russia was. She put American children in a grayscale world where one power has control over all of the actions the people make, and rehabilitates them when they do something else. She put children with innocence and free world in a place where there is none. When chuck decides to try to reason with the man with the red eyes, he is controlled as well. Camatotz is L'engle's version of Russia. The book was written in the Cold War era, so it's possible that she made a remarkable piece of propaganda as well as symbols or religion and childhood. I'm sure I've overanalyzed it, and I'm sorry for wasting your time.

I was watching the movie "A Wrinkle in Time" with a friend and he asked me about if the Mrs. Ws, with their salutations implying they're married, had husbands.

Basically, I am writing to this subreddit asking if there really was a Mister Who, Mister Whatsit, and Mister Which?

So far, there have been 2 film adaptations made of AWIT, and both were duds.

The 1st film, the one made direct for TV, had horrible CGI (I remember watching it the night it debuted, and I was like...this is crap). The 2nd, well the ratings speak for themselves.

Is the story of AWIT just too different to work as a film? Should a better director/screen writer give it a chance?

Most of the students wanted and thought they were gonna kiss in the movie, but they didn’t. We all chanted “kiss kiss kiss”, then we let out sighs of disappointment.

I admit, I went into this movie expecting this disappointment of Pete’s Dragon, especially after seeing a few reviews giving it a less than stellar number of stars. However, upon leaving the theater, I felt the same lightness and joy I experienced watching Wonder. The film had a deep heart, displaying the power of love and the worth of humans-- and that we can deserve love for being ourselves, rather than constantly striving for approval.

A Wrinkle in Time featured charming actors, with Storm Reid stealing the scenes as the persnickety, precocious Meg Murry. Deric McCabe is perfectly cast as the impercetable and brilliant Charles Wallace, while Levi Miller’s kind Calvin consistently offers the support Meg needs to save the day. The Mrs.’s, played by Oprah Winfrey, Mindy Kaling, and Reese Witherspoon, are dazzling, beautiful, wise, brave, and unknowable as they guide the children on first a search and then a rescue mission, giving the children the courage and tools to fight the darkness.

I read this book in 5th grade and despised the slow classroom pace and the drying of the novel’s appeal with homework and questions. As an English teacher, I revisited the book this past Christmas and quickly devoured others in the series, captivated by the flawed, clever fighter who is Meg Murry. I found permission to be a smart, capable woman as well as permission to live with flaws and not constantly try to cover them up in shame. I found a deeper appreciation for the people around me and a desire to reach out and make the world a better place. While a two hour movie does not allow for the depth of development we find in books, this film adaption does good job of opening many of those doors for viewers.

Ryan Coogler’s praise for director Ava DuVernay is well earned with a fantastic, diverse cast, beautiful scenery, and spot on emotional appeals. This film will inspire people to love themselves and spread joy, it will inspire viewers to find a solution other than violence, inspire girls to be scientists and dreamers, and inspire us all to look for the wonder just beyond our view.
