The post in question

Did my post just break half the fandom, or??

I read a wonderful fic called through a glass, darkly on AO3 and it broke me out of a months long art rut!

Thank you so much to the author for inspiring me!

Summary:

“I think, Sam,” Frodo said slowly, tilting his head back and back as he gazed at the closed-off skyline, “we’ve ended up quite a ways from the Shire.” Frodo and Sam find themselves lost in The Unknown, with no easy way of getting home again. The resulting journey through the woods—through mist, monsters, and meetings with friends and strangers alike—will take all their daring, strength, and maybe some of their secrets, too.

i love movies that are just a few days in the life of an ostensibly normal and fundamentally fucked ip family as we see their dynamics grow more and more openly toxic until something big happens and they’re like oh boy. we just have to keep on living as a normal family don’t we. forever

Through A Glass Darkly, 1961.

THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY (1961, Ingmar Bergman) x THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS... (1871, John Tenniel for Lewis Carroll). While Bergman's title is very close to Carroll's, it has an independent, Biblical origin—and yet the similarity of these sequences is striking, suggesting clear influence...

PERSONA (1966, Bergman) x THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, & WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE (1871, Tenniel's original illustration for Carroll of Alice facing her reverse image & moving thru the mirror). This iconic image from PERSONA likewise seems to be clearly influenced by Carroll & Tenniel's ALICE works...

It seems fitting Carroll should inspire Bergman; both shared an interest in what lies beneath individual & social veneers, exploring it w/ elliptical, fantastical art. In the case of PERSONA, the exploration includes ALICE-esque touches of mirrors, mushrooms, madness, tea, & more...

Carroll's works have cast a long cultural shadow, & it's common to see their influence in classic films—including, seemingly, in works by Hitchcock, Rivette, Polanski, & more. Below, echoes in Kubrick's THE SHINING (whose source book by King expressly references ALICE, fwiw).

Given that TWIN PEAKS begins with rabbit references & ends with an enigmatic Alice, it's natural to impute to it an influence by Carroll's works. (But a further exploration of that topic will have to wait for another day.)
