Creating and using symbols to represent aspects of Christian theology in a film is not easy. If the symbols and theology are too heavy-handed, audiences stay away because movies are about entertainment, not sermonizing. If the symbols and theology are too vague or too esoteric, the audience will not make the connections needed; furthermore, the original material will be stripped of integral meanings and connections. Add to the mix elements of science fiction and fantasy, and the potential problems multiply. <i>A Wrinkle in Time<\/i> proffered all these problems, yet DuVernay, who directed Selma, tackles the challenges with aplomb and a little help from the marvelous advancements in CGI (computer generated images).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19122\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19122\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Reese-Witherspoon-Mindy-Kaling-Storm-Reid-Levi-Miller-and-Deric-McCabe-in-A-Wrinkle-in-Time-c.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19122 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Reese-Witherspoon-Mindy-Kaling-Storm-Reid-Levi-Miller-and-Deric-McCabe-in-A-Wrinkle-in-Time-c-470x353.jpg?resize=470%2C353\" alt=\"Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling), Calvin (Levi Miller), Meg Murry (Storm Reid), Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe), and Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon) arrive on beautiful planet in \u2018A Wrinkle in Time.\u2019\" width=\"470\" height=\"353\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/353;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling), Calvin (Levi Miller), Meg Murry (Storm Reid), Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe), and Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon) arrive on beautiful planet in \u2018A Wrinkle in Time.\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although the plot points and some characters have been combined or cut to fit a film\u2019s time limits, the story remains mostly intact. As the film opens, Mr. and Mrs. Murry (Chris Pine and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, respectively), both scientists of the Ph.D. variety, are welcoming a son and reassuring their daughter that love enfolds her and them all. Fast forward four years. Mr. Murry disappeared suddenly and mysterious. Mrs. Murry works to keep hope alive that her beloved husband will return. Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) is now a precocious prodigy, and Meg (Storm Reid, in a breakout performance), who was \u201conce a promising student,\u201d struggles with bullies at school and the loss of her beloved father. Even a new friend, Calvin (Levi Miller), who clearly likes her and is amazed by her, can\u2019t get to the depths of sorrow and lack of confidence in Meg.<br \/>\nCharles Wallace, meanwhile, has a plan to end the unhappiness in the Murry home and brings three magical beings into their lives. Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon), a free spirit who can fly over fences and wonders why people build them, arrives at the Murrys\u2019 door late one evening which doesn\u2019t sit well with Mrs. Murry or Meg. When Mrs. Whatsit casually says, \u201cThere is such a thing as a tesseract,\u201d Meg and her mother are stunned. Tesseract was what Mr. Murry was working on when he disappeared, and he believed that they were a means to fold space and time in such way as to travel great distances in seconds. He dreamed of \u201cshaking hands with the universe\u201d and studied vibrations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19124\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19124\" style=\"width: 503px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Reese-Witherspoon-in-A-Wrinkle-in-Time.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19124 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Reese-Witherspoon-in-A-Wrinkle-in-Time-470x243.jpg?resize=503%2C260\" alt=\"Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon) walks through the beauty of another planet in \u2018A Wrinkle in Time.\u2019\" width=\"503\" height=\"260\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 503px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 503\/260;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon) walks through the beauty of another planet in \u2018A Wrinkle in Time.\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Later, Charles Wallace introduces Meg to Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling); it might be a simplification to say she might be the Word Made Flesh just because she uses the words of others to communicate. Finally, Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey) &#8212; please notice the spelling and her lack of a broom and pointy hat &#8212; comes to visit Charles Wallace in the family\u2019s backyard when Meg and Calvin are present. At first, Mrs. Which is much larger than all the other characters, then she scales down her size to match theirs. Mrs. Which, along with Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who, leads Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin on a trip through the university to find Mr. Murry and bring him home. Their travels are affected by a tesseract, in which each person must find their vibration and have the faith to leap into the waffling, shimmering distortion of their present reality.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19121\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19121\" style=\"width: 321px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Storm-Reid-Levi-Miller-and-Deric-McCabe-in-A-Wrinkle-in-Time-c.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19121 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flovalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Storm-Reid-Levi-Miller-and-Deric-McCabe-in-A-Wrinkle-in-Time-c-321x500.jpg?resize=321%2C500\" alt=\"Meg Murry (Storm Reid), her friend Calvin (Levi Miller), and little brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) explore a neighborhood of odd conformity on the evil planet of Camazotz in \u2018A Wrinkle in Time.\u2019\" width=\"321\" height=\"500\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 321px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 321\/500;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meg Murry (Storm Reid), her friend Calvin (Levi Miller), and little brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) explore a neighborhood of odd conformity on the evil planet of Camazotz in \u2018A Wrinkle in Time.\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After visiting a beautiful planet and getting some clues about Mr. Murry\u2019s whereabouts, they visit the Happy Medium (Zach Galifianakis), and Meg learns the success of their journey and quest all rely on her accepting and loving herself and using her gifts.

Earth is under attack right now. Unfortunately, Mrs. Which, Mrs, Who, and Mrs. Whatsit must leave Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace on their own. Will they survive? Will they find Mr. Murry? How will they get home?<br \/>\n<i>A Wrinkle in Time<\/i> is remarkable for a number of reasons. First, director Ava DuVernay is only the second black woman, following Kasi Lemmons, to be invited to the director&#8217;s branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Second, she became the first African-American woman to direct a movie with a budget over $100 million. The film, as helmed by DuVernay, is a multiracial, multiethnic blend of people in both the crew and, especially noteworthy, in the cast. DuVernay directs the action sequences and the human and emotional interactions of the characters in such as way as to emphasize the humanity and uniqueness of each individual character. In the actions scenes and in the emotional moments, the characters are stripped to their humanity, and the audience can connect to them across age, race, and any other fences built to separate humans from each other. <i>A Wrinkle in Time<\/i> is beautiful not just for the CGI creation of beautiful worlds and costumes, but because DuVernay has reached into hearts and shared a divine vision of humanity.<br \/>\n<i>A Wrinkle in Time<\/i>, which is based on L&#8217;Engle\u2019s <i>Time Quintet<\/i>, offers Walt Disney Pictures and Whitaker Entertainment, who risk the money to produce this adaption, the possibility of a franchise with legs if this film makes enough box office. <i>A Wrinkle in Time<\/i>, which is a Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures release, runs 109 minutes and is rated PG for thematic elements and some peril. <i>A Wrinkle in Time<\/i> opens in some theaters on March 8 and the rest on March 9 and would be an ideal film for the religious holidays because of the messages about the power of love to conquer evil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Sandra Olmsted Director Ava DuVernay\u2019s adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L&#8217;Engle\u2019s once thought to be \u201cunfilmable\u201d novel, covers much of same ground as the Narnia franchise and book series.
