The film opens with a parody of Hollywood's fantasy world. There are scenes where the audience takes Alice and her journey very seriously, there are some harrowing reality scenes, and there are otherswhich are downplayed by the director Exaggerated. Indeed, at times, the film does not seem to be about Alice, but about the speculations and daydreams about her age of many women who identify with the liberation of other women but are unsure about their subject. In Alice's place, most women probably won't meet a young farmer who understands and helps her, but a lot of things in the film aren't logical. The myth of love between two people is the main theme secretly proposed by director Scorsese
