The above is purely a joke, just like Phoebe in Friends is as unreasonable as unreasonable because she dreamed that she would not give people a good face because she had offended her. After all, "Alice in Wonderland", the original Lewis wrote is just a dream.
Edgar Allan Poe put it in a classic way: "What we have seen and seen are nothing but dreams in dreams." In addition, film is a dream-making machine, and the audience can't distinguish between reality and reality. The boundaries of dreams. This time, "Alice in Wonderland" once again makes the audience fall in a dream, and it is still a colorful dream.
In the past two years, Tim Burton has not only won money and reputation as a director, but also gradually won the recognition of the art world. There is no doubt that Burton is very talented in artistic creation, and his sense of color and imagination are excellent.
Whether it is "Edward Scissorhands" or "Big Fish", except for the black and white film "Edwood", Burton's favorite addition to the melancholic Gothic tone is a large number of overly bright color blocks. Therefore, I firmly believe that Tim Burton’s dreams will be in color. How can a person with excess imagination like him be willing to dream in black and white?
Orange and green are almost contrasting colors. If they don’t match well, they will be very inconsistent. Moreover, the color saturation chosen by the stylist is so high, which is obviously deliberate to create a weird effect, such as his name Mad Hatter, except Crazy or crazy.
The Mad Hatter is a trustworthy guide, and the only person in Wonderland who really needs Alice. All the others need is a heroine who slays the dragon and a coup. But the Alice needed by the Mad Hatter was written in his green eyes, from the moment he waded over bread and butter excitedly to pick up Alice.
Although the screenwriter of the film didn't leave many impressive lines from beginning to end, "You are either too small or too big" is really an excellent aphorism. Even if the Mad Hatter's feelings for Alice are somewhat unfounded, (Could it be that Wei Shu has fallen in love with Lori 13 years ago and has been waiting for her to grow up until now?) This ambiguous feeling is enough to make Haw Those who are crooked like me are so moved.
Johnny Depp used the high and low voices from Captain Jack to Willy Wonka, the eloquent mouth of a broken record, and the British accent that the Americans can’t understand the British can’t understand. , So that both the madness and sobriety of the hatter seem to be true and false. If we just play simple, it will only make us miss Edward Scissorhands even more, but at the same time he is also a loyal subject and a passionate revolutionist, as crazy as all smart people. In the moment of fleeing, I was lost in the past, letting Alice and us understand that this is a person who should never be let down.
It's a pity that Alice did not take on the mission on the Imperial Calendar after all, but she was going to take on the Mad Hatter this time. Captain Jack can still get Elizabeth a kiss, even if it is about to be swallowed by the siren in the next second. The Mad Hatter could only watch Alice say "I can't" and then drank the purple liquid without frowning.
There is a classic story in Northern Europe, "The Ring of Nibelungen". In the story, Ziegfei is also the hero who slayed the dragon, and his woman is the Queen of Iceland. The Queen of Iceland is very powerful, and only Siegfried ever defeated her. But then Ziegfei was calculated to drink a potion, and he completely forgot about the Queen of Iceland, married a sister of a king, and later helped his wife's brother to conquer the Queen of Iceland. This is the traditional mode of the story, and it is also the mode that was subverted and reversed by Tim Burton.
The Mad Hatter was convinced that Alice who was leaving would forget him, and most spectators who had experienced the world would understand his conviction. At least I wouldn't take Alice's promise of coming back seriously, unless the movie is so popular that Disney forces Burton to make a sequel.
Even if there are times when Xiang Ruiyimo is not so beautiful, forgetting about each other in the arena will not make it less cruel.
Black and red are essential and classic colors in Gothic style works. In addition to the flickering large blue eyeshadow in the appearance of the Red Queen, these two colors were used from head to toe, which was in sharp contrast with the appalling white sister.
A few days ago, an article was published on the website of "China Daily" describing the actor of the Red Queen and the wife of director Tim Burton, Helena, as the "gothic black rose of England". This topic is quite appropriate.
I think Helena was also a girl who was highly praised as a British classical beauty, but her transformation from "Fight Club" to a Gothic style was out of control. Especially after hooking up with Tim Burton, he unswervingly strode forward on the road of Gothic. The perfect match for the Heavenly Thunderbirds was usually dressed in black and sunglasses when they were attacked by paparazzi. Later, even the children were dressed up in this style.
Speaking of "Fight Club", I like Helena and Edward Norton since that film. The strength of Edward Norton's aura is recognized. A supporting actor who covers his face from the beginning to the end in "The Kings of Heaven" can cover the light of the male protagonist, which made me believe in the existence of such a thing as aura. But Helena didn't show any timidity in the scenes in front of him, even though she was so horribly young at that time, even for the first time in a large-scale scene.
So Tim Burton chose Helena as his queen is extremely correct, she has always been trustworthy. If Depp's performance this time did not surprise me, then the most brilliant title among the live actors in this film can only be awarded to Helena. Neither the big head nor the small mouth can conceal her powerful aura. The arrogant but fragile Red Queen has become the fullest character in the film. Even many viewers sympathize with or like this Red Queen after watching the entire drama. She just lived a real life, dared to say her love and hatred, and dared to say hateful is better than cute. This makes her a hateful and sad character, even a bit cute.
Compared to the White Queen who always floats around like a ballet girl on a music box, I feel that the Red Queen is a political victim. Perhaps the emperor’s calendar and the hero of the dragon slaying were originally the conspiracy of the White Queen to talk to herself, like the cloth strips with words eaten out of the belly of the fish and the various visions of the emperor when he was born, but they did not reach the yellow robe plus Rome. Great road.
Of course, this is my conspiracy theory at work again. When Tim Burton and Disney reconcile, I don't know which way to think.
I don’t remember the color of the caterpillar smoking the hookah and the Cheshire cat in the original book. But compared to the blue caterpillar after all, the blue cat is more surprising. Blue is the color of the sky and water, giving people a mysterious and refined feeling, which is in line with the temperament of the Cheshire cat.
The Cheshire Cat is a wise man hidden in the city, only appearing at the most critical moment. The big blue face in the air and the big smile that turned into the moon have won over it in this drama, and I am afraid it is no less popular than Depp.
The scene where the camera cuts directly from the prison to the execution ground is the only turning point in the whole plot that I haven't guessed. Compared with the straightforward narrative before and the sharp turn afterwards, the reason why this scene flashed my waist is probably not because I didn't expect it, but because I was blinded by the cat's overly charming smile and forgot to think about it.
This film is the seventh collaboration between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. I am very thankful and regretful that this is the first time I have watched their collaboration on the big screen. Even if Depp is still such a monster in another ten years, Helena won’t mind pretending to be a witch without drawing wrinkles in another twenty years. Tim Burton will not go crazy in another thirty years. They will have seven more times. Cooperation? I look forward to this possibility and pray for it. But no matter what the future is, I will always thank Tim Burton for creating a colorful dream for us until 2012.
