The name Alice was popular in the 18th century and was believed to symbolize independence, bravery and intelligence. This fairy tale is also the English fairy tale with the most language translations. In 1871, Carroll eagerly pursued the second book "Alice in the Looking Glass". As a mathematician teaching at Oxford, he was more suspenseful and dialectical than Andersen, Wilde, and Green. Animals in Wonderland. The physical and chemical reactions with plants, the deformation and compression of space and time, are more interesting in the imagination of this mathematician who is not good at socializing.
Alice is more logical and playful than those prince-princess fairy tales.
One hundred and thirty-nine years later, in 2010, a British director named Tim Burton interprets the British humor, Victorian fantasy, and bizarre experiments in the adventure into a strong Gothic style. wind. More precious is the philosophical pursuit of empirical empiricism. Just look at Tim Burton's work, there is a direct expression in the exaggeration and eccentricity. "Edward Scissorhands" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", the adult world from the perspective of children, were mocked and teased by him arrogantly, just as he said: do what you really care about. The rules of the game in the adult world are dizzy and rushing, and they are thrown into the air by him, and then blown away by a wind.
In his works, the carefully cherished heart of a child is still very dazzling, illuminating every dim heart like a radiant light. Countless adults and children who knew Alice when they were children, some refused to grow up, some were adults, were led by Tim Burton and heard Alice say to herself: Find Yourself! Suddenly, it turns out that the so-called wonderland is a place more sober than reality, where you can find yourself hidden by the turbid reality.
There is only one rabbit hole between you and Alice.
In the first underground world, Alice was sent by the White Queen to fight the dragon, confidence and courage came from the confrontation of the Red Queen, and the fear and melancholy were only told by the Mad Hatter. Having escaped from the engagement ceremony, she needed this rabbit hole too much, too many reasons or many friends to join her and solemnly reject this stylized life.
There is a saying in chicken soup, the aura you emit will attract the same kind.
Similarly, in the second part, Alice did not meet people's expectations, did not marry into a noble family, and did not use the family's old money to live a so-called decent life. The film is about to run aground on the shoals of the Strait of Malacca. Captain Alice orders the first mate to throw off the mast and say: To achieve the impossible, you have to believe in everything.
Apparently Alice has grown up, sharp eyes and a resolute expression, the vague wind and frost swept across her brows from time to time, and the roaming of wonderland has given her an unusual perspective. She enjoys the excitement and novelty of wandering at sea and traveling around the world, and she can't hide from clerical errands in trading companies, lest she fall into the normal life that her mother said.
Alice is lucky. Every time she encounters a crossroads of choice, there will be a door open for her, which is a rabbit hole in the first part and a mirror in the second part. The world in the mirror continues the troubles in reality and magnifies the problems that you want to solve but can't solve. With her personality and opinions, she could not convince herself to obey her mother's wishes. Her friend, the Mad Hatter, also encountered a similar problem, but the price of the Mad Hatter had already occurred, and Alice felt a deep sense of remorse and pain from the Mad Hatter. disturbed. In this way, the first part is Alice's self-introspection, and the second part is her projection from the outside and her friends. The world in the mirror allowed her to witness the regrets brought about by the alienation of her family. Even driving the magic ball of time back to the past would not change the fact that it happened.
It is not uncommon to see loopbacks on the timeline of the film, but in 1871, it was a thoughtful British fairy tale, but in the original book, it was backspaced by chessboard moves to go back to the past. Maybe Disney has tried CG animations in recent years. It dazzlingly meets the audience's imagination of Mr. Time, the pleasure of returning to the past to overthrow fate, synthesizing the stormy waves of the sea of time, and designing Mr. Time implanted in the movement. Selling cute, just like a strong American style.
It is a pity that Tim Burton, who broke up with Helena, is no longer the director. Helena, who has great acting skills, still presents the wonderful and helpless Red Queen, but Tim Burton's status as a producer cannot add color to the film. . In the second part, we don't see the power that touched Alice in the first part, and we don't feel the sway that touches the heart. From fairy tales to adult fairy tales, pure simplicity is more thrilling and timeless than complicated and fancy.
