Dream Manipulator - Alice

For semi-freeze shooting, Alice mostly uses real shooting, and other images are freeze-frame. The frame-drawing sense of freeze-frame enhances the weirdness of the animals' dynamics. The whole film constantly cuts into the close-up of lips, and uses Alice's self-reported way to tell a story. Alice, as the only real character, reminded the audience before the beginning of the film: "Watch with your eyes closed, or you won't see anything." This is obviously an irony, because the dream is also reversed, which indicates the absurdity. Start. Why is Alice the only real character? In addition to Alice, there are two human-like "people": one is a pig who imitates the cry of a human baby; the other is a sister who appears at the beginning of the chapter. And my sister is more like a puppet. My sister and Alice were sitting by the lake together. Compared to Alice's movement of throwing stones, my sister was still in a state of stillness, and she didn't even turn the pages of the book. Until Alice finished throwing the stones, my sister was still still, and Alice couldn't bear it. I went to read my sister's book. At this time, the director gave a picture with a cut head. My sister has no head, and just hit Alice's hand stiffly. Alice, who was beaten, looked resentful. She should have turned to the lake or her sister's direction, but suddenly turned her head to look at the third-party audience, staring straight at the camera. At first, I always wondered why fairy tales like "Alice" are marked as thriller. When I saw the strange atmosphere here, I immediately emerged, and this technique also established the tone of the film's horror. Then we came to Alice's room, the camera swept through every corner of the room, carefully introduced all kinds of strange objects in the room, and laid the groundwork for the appearance of these later items: the eaten apple core, Scattered blocks, broken old toys, ink bottles, mouse traps with cheese, etc., all of which exuded a run-down smell, without a single child's bright color, and ended up on the two dolls, the two dolls. It looks exactly like Alice and her sister. The close-up of the face of the doll in pink skirt and the close-up of the stone on the skirt suggest that this doll is what Alice looked like when she became smaller. Alice, like the first scene (by the lake), throws stones out of boredom, and her dry and boring life is immediately presented. Alice in the film looks like a real child. In this charming dream, everything starts to become illogical and random: Alice constantly drinks ink and eats cookies, which can get bigger and sometimes. When you become smaller, you can do whatever you want, you can't control it. Everything here is like walking into a trap, and everyone is constantly repeating: Mr. Rabbit keeps saying "Oh, oh, oh, I'm going to be late this time." He keeps taking out the pocket watch in his belly; the Hatter and The March Hare keeps drinking afternoon tea; the Queen of Hearts keeps shouting and screaming to cut off someone's head; Alice keeps getting bigger and smaller... These constant repetitions are like Alice going to the lake, to the coffee cup Stones are thrown constantly, boring and boring again and again. The Queen of Hearts here is like a high-ranking ruler, incompetent and cruel, consolidating his majesty by looking at other people's pale heads again and again, but it is of no use... The soldiers who have cut off their heads continue to fight, cut off their heads The Hatter and the March Hare changed their heads and continued to fight the landlord~ And the king of the Queen of Hearts, even more ignorant, pretended to be a public knowledge, forced the law, and was exhausted according to the script, making Alice admit her mistake. He had to be angry and shouted along with his wife, "Cut her head! Cut her head!" Mr. Rabbit's scissors clicked, Alice's head became the hatter's head, the March Hare's head, the head of various animals Head, chop and chop, who's head is chopped off? Alice woke up and lay on the floor of her room. She opened her eyes and looked like it was a dream. Is it really a dream? Alice walked to Mr. Rabbit's glass window, Mr. Rabbit was gone, and the glass on the ground shattered, just like the beginning of a dream. Do you think it's "Inception"? No, Alice picked up the scissors that Mr. Rabbit was beheading, and said inexplicably, "He's late again, I'm going to chop off his head." In the narration of the lips that keep cutting in the joint plot, Alice finished the whole story, even the other She imitates the sounds of animals of. It turns out that in this dream, Alice is the supreme controller. As the only human being with unlimited rights, Alice is the Queen of Hearts.
