Anyone else think "Alice" (1990) is secretly about arrested development?

Okay, so I watched "Alice" (1990) with the kids (after previewing, of course! Gotta be careful of those stray 90s movie moments!), and it really got me thinking. At first glance, it's just another rom-com about a bored housewife, right? But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like it was about Alice finally growing up. I mean, she's been a mom and a wife for sixteen years, basically playing a role, and Dr. Yang's herbs are almost like a catalyst for her to discover who she really is, separate from her husband and kids. Like, the part where she becomes invisible? That's not just wacky movie magic, right? Isn't that about feeling unseen, unheard? And then the love potion making her obsessed with Joe the sax player? Sure, it's funny, but it also feels like she's finally letting herself feel something, even if it's a little over the top. It's almost like she's catching up on all the emotional development she missed out on by settling down so young. And don't even get me started on the fact that she's still living off her parents money and privilege. It's clear she's never really had to make any hard choices, but falling for Joe and getting those herbs forces her to make those hard choices for the first time. Maybe I'm way off base, but I think it's a much more complicated movie than it seems. To me, it wasn't just about a woman wanting a new romance, but about a woman choosing to become independent. The whole ending bit, with her volunteering and finally writing? Maybe she learned to fly after all, if you know what I mean!
