I finished reading the Chinese-translated text, animations from the 1950s (1951), Alice in Wonderland, Alice in Wonderland 2 Adventures in the Mirror. The text is the most primitive and pure, and it is also written with the reader as the object. Narrative discourse is still the traditional direct narration in chronological order. When it comes to the animated version, I actually feel that it is easier to read than the text.
The text is like a night reading story that tells a chapter each night, in pieces.
The animated version is actually easier to watch, because the vacant imagination is easier to fill. The reduction degree and narrative order of the animation are still quite high.
The first "Alice in Wonderland" (2010) directed by Tim Burton is mainly characterized and styled by gothic style. The little girl has gray dark circles around her eyes. The pictures and character movements are similar to the animation version. The March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the mice stepping on the table, breaking the teacup, and failing to drink tea on the tea table waiting for Alice to come all have the destructive nature of children when they play at home, but in adults If you look at the etiquette and rules of human society again, it will have a terrifying meaning.
Adventures in the Looking Glass (2016) is undoubtedly a Hollywood-style commercial film in the United States. The special effects of the time machine are full of elements of the future and the exchange of time and space. The "family" and "time" elements in the film are more in line with the modern life experience of modern people.
Personally, I think "Alice in the Looking Glass" is actually better than the first "Alice in Wonderland", and the most interesting thing is not the apparent emotional entanglement between the Mad Hatter and Alice, but Helena. The story of the childhood of the Red Queen played by Anne Hathaway and the White Queen played by Anne Hathaway. Perhaps this is also the emotional lack of contemporary people in family and friendship.
The concept of time is actually quite modern in "Adventures in the Mirror", and it is the thinking of modern people. Whether it's Alice drinking potion and eating cakes to become bigger or smaller, or the first time through a rabbit hole to travel to the fantasy world, it is actually a desire of human beings to control the concept of time and space. Dissatisfied with the dullness of the real world, Alice fell into Wonderland; dissatisfied with the unforgettable injuries in life, Alice secretly got a time machine. This is a human desire to travel from space to time.
In the last scene, the Mad Hatter asks Alice if she wants to see his family, but when she turns around and sees the mirror that Alice is going back through, the Mad Hatter understands that Alice actually has her own home. Everyone has his unique family to cherish. This is in line with Alice "wanting to go home" in the first part. But the progress of "Through the Looking Glass" may lie in Alice's last words "Time waits for no one, and it is the same for women." The film has begun to involve a hot topic in recent years, women.
