Fantasy determines reality

Because of the 3D technology and the "Avatar" have something to do with, I am arrogant for "Alice in Wonderland". Regardless of nature, race, or resistance, "Alice in Wonderland" is just a modern remake of a classic fairy tale. "Avatar" is a science fiction drama about the world, and "Alice" is a fantasy sketch that grows in the heart. The target audience of the two films is basically two types of people, and there will naturally be deviations in word-of-mouth. Moreover, the evaluation of a movie should not be too entangled in the technical level.

Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Hannah Bonham Carter once again joined forces in the Audio-Technica Triangle. Senior movie fans should guess that this must be another guise of fairy tales, presumptuous fantasy and evil taste. Hengsheng movie. In the dazzling colors, the undead Gothic heart is still wrapped.

In fact, when we grow up, most of us misunderstand fairy tales, thinking that the world of fairy tales is a beautiful and bright world on the other side. But as long as we carefully recall the scene of listening to the story when we were young, we should all be able to find the moment of fright. For example, Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother was eaten by a greedy big bad wolf, for example, the jealous queen gave Snow White a poisoned apple, for example, Alibaba tricked the Forty Thieves into a pan and burned to death. Even the beautiful little mermaid did not get her love in the end, but turned into a sea foam. The true classic fairy tales are not just "princes and princesses living a good life", but tell us the reality of greed, jealousy, hatred, and violence in another way. In fact, we have long understood the gloom of human nature, so when we grow up, we don't feel how strange this world is, and we are used to accepting it.

The same goes for "Alice in Wonderland". The Red Queen in the movie is the most discussed image. She is violent and evil, and her catch phrase is to scream "cut off his head"; she wantonly enslaves her subordinates, even using a pig as a foot warmer. Her tyranny caused dissatisfaction among her subjects, and her younger sister, the White Queen, took the opportunity to rebel and fight for her dominance. However, the seemingly kind White Queen is actually just a hypocrite. The material she used to make the body shrinking medicine turned out to be a black and broken finger...Furthermore, this movie will almost become a "bloody movie" unsuitable for children. Up. Fortunately, Alice in the movie is close to twenty and has grown up.

In the movie, Alice entered the fairyland after escaping the marriage at the engagement ceremony. The place full of strange creatures made her always think that she was in a dream, so she was not afraid of danger, moved forward bravely, and went to rescue with enthusiasm. The Mad Hatter caught by the Red Queen. Facing the obstruction of a loyal dog, she said: This is in my dream, and I will be the master of my dream. It's just that when we were asked to hold the sword and the evil dragon, our Alice was still in a daze: What if this is reality?

Until the end of the movie, we are actually not sure whether everything Alice has experienced is a dream or reality. We all say "life is like a dream", but who can really live life like a dream? Johnny Depp's "Mad Hatter" looks closer to this kind of person, so Alice said to him, "Anyone who is really good looks a little crazy."

Alice, who was still awkwardly rejecting Lord's proposal before, returned to the proposal scene after completing her mission to maintain peace in the underground world, and resolutely expressed her determination to refuse marriage again. That's not a big deal, she even taught the elders who will be there. This time, she said "my life is my master." "Alice in Wonderland" is not about saving the world, nor is it about human love, nor is it the "Avatar" theme of the harmonious development of man and nature. Tim Bolton is not interested in vague and grand thoughts. He just walks into the heart of a girl and a half, letting her travel between dream and reality and make her own life choices. The wonderland where Alice roams is not the splendid and magical planet of Pandora, but the fantasy we have had since childhood. And every decision we make when we grow up may be related to those fantasies. What distinguishes a person from others is not his status and background, but his ideals, dreams, and fantasies.

In the end, I don't think the visual effect of this film is worse than that of "Avatar". The animals, flowers, and children in it are so cute, they are not as beautiful but boring as a postcard like Avatar.
