Book& Movie Review

written by Louis Carroll/ directed by Tim Burton

   

Many films can change human perception on life. For me, Alice in Wonderland is such a film. What I learn from this movie is my imagination can be into reality, and this movie made me feel better about myself.

I've already read the book, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll many times, because I’m a super huge fan of the fantasy genre. So I wondered what the movie would be like. I bet this film is engaging and well-directed, although I watched only half of the movie. 

I think Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland was a bit different from the original book. The book opens with the young little character chasing a white rabbit in a waistcoat down a rabbit hole and it is light and breezy feeling. On the other hand, in the film, Alice is now 19 years old and goes back to Wonderland, a place she previously visited 13 years ago. She is told that she is the only one that can slay the Jabberwocky, a dragon controlled by the Red Queen. It is grotesque and symbolic. And Alice was no longer a curious little girl, but a warrior.

In my opinion, Alice seems a kind of representative of special people who see the world in different ways. I'm a pretty similar person to Alice, so I used to be criticized all the time for being unusual. Throughout the movie, I was pleasant watching her boldness and thinking of unusual things. 

Imagination is the true magic carpet. I’m sure it will definitely carry me to worlds that never were.

I can’t wait for the rest part of this movie!
