failed adaptation

The parody of the literary original, poetic, has little greater play. The classic puns are also not replaced by visual elements, and they are rarely spit out by the characters. The failed adaptations are embarrassing when Alice speaks of the curious and curiouser...
The concept of time is introduced as the main thread of the story. At that time, the movie had basically gone astray, and there was a sense of sight that did not know which latest sci-fi movie it became. Why not use the stalk of getting bigger and smaller as the main line of the film. In fact, except for the chessboard and egg that I just saw in the mirror, it has nothing to do with the original... A pot of stew... What the hell is wrong with the hatter's good friend... Some people say "why is the raven like a writing desk?" because The Mad Hatter loves Alice...let me spit out old blood first. The fullness of the character is not to give him a warm family background, but a reasonable exposition of the character's characteristics. It would be much better if it could be changed to the reason why the Mad Hatter is so crazy. The motivation of the whole film to find the Mad Hatter family is really unbearable, so removing the character of Alice can still complete the adventure, and it is not impossible to replace the protagonist with the hat itself. Alice's greatest essential characteristic is curiosity, and there is no such description in the whole film.
The point of personal dissatisfaction with Disney's live-action adaptation is that what about the young girl? The first part starts to talk about marriage, and the second part is more straightforward and explicit about family ethics. Has nothing to do with innocence or imagination? Forcibly interspersed with the family relationship in the Mad Hatter's house, the contradiction between the red and white queens, and Alice's emotional line... It is not absurd at all, boring and uninteresting. What I want to see is the interpretation of innocence, imagination, and absurdity from an adult perspective, not feminism, time travel, or "love".

Alice Through the Looking Glass quotes

  • Alice Kingsleigh: [finds a young Hatter at the marketplace] Hatter? Hatter? It's you!

    [hugs a surprised Hatter]

    Alice Kingsleigh: You're you again!

    Mad Hatter: Well, if I'm not, I wish I was. Have we met?

    Alice Kingsleigh: Yes! Well, no. I mean, not yet.

    Mad Hatter: That's funny. Actually, I should know you.

    Alice Kingsleigh: Well, we have met once when I was younger.

    Mad Hatter: Well, I'm afraid I don't recall.

    Alice Kingsleigh: That's because it hasn't happened yet.

    Mad Hatter: Oh. When will it happen?

    Alice Kingsleigh: Years from now, when you're older.

    Mad Hatter: [confused] I'll meet you when you're younger and I'm older.

    Alice Kingsleigh: I realize it doesn't make much sense.

    Mad Hatter: [pauses] Makes perfect sense to me. I'm Tarrant.

    Alice Kingsleigh: [shakes his hand] I know. I'm Alice.

    Mad Hatter: [amused] Alice? You seem to have time all mixed up.

  • Bayard: [after Alice falls from the sky and into a flower bed, her Underland friends surround and greet her] Alice.

    Tweedledee: Alice! You're back!

    [the Bandersnatch roars his greeting and pants, smiling at Alice]

    Mallymkun: [to the Bandersnatch] Don't be nice to her. She's late.

    Alice Kingsleigh: Have I come at a bad time?

    White Queen: On the contrary. We were afraid you weren't coming at all.

    Alice Kingsleigh: What's the matter?

    White Rabbit: The Hatter's the matter.

    Tweedledee: Or the matter of the Hatter.

    Tweedledum: The former.

    Tweedledee: No, the latter.

    White Queen: [rolls her eyes] Tweedles.

    [the Tweedles nod]

    Alice Kingsleigh: Yes, I know.

    [climbs out of the flower bed and pulls her hair back in a half-up style]

    Alice Kingsleigh: That's his muchness. That's what makes him so... him.

    Tweedledee: But he's grown darker. Less dafter.

    Tweedledum: Denies himself laughter.

    Cheshire Cat: [appears in the tree above them] And no scheme of ours can raise any sort of smile. We rather hoped YOU might help us save him.
