"Wonder" film's mom uses a map metaphor for facial marks - scars & wrinkles. They show where we've been & where we're going, not flaws, but a unique story. Uplifting message for those struggling with appearance.
⊙ Quote of the Day: The Map on Our Faces
We all have marks on our face.
This is the map that shows us where we’re going.
And this is the map that shows us where we’ve been.
It's never, ever ugly.
- Wonder -
This line is spoken by a mother (Julia Roberts) to give confidence to the main character, August, who is afraid to go to school, in the American drama film based on the novel ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio. It suggests that a person’s life can be seen on their face, implying that the marks on our faces—scars, wrinkles, etc.—are the traces of the time we have lived and that they are a ‘map’ showing us where we are going. The message is that these marks are never ugly but rather an important part of who we are, shaping our lives. This message is especially important for a character like August, who struggles a lot with his appearance but ultimately develops a positive outlook on who he is and the value he has. This quote expresses that positive outlook and is both encouraging and uplifting.
