took three people to watch 3D together, and asked how it felt: one said the acting was pretentious, the other told the story too much, and the other didn't think the cartoons were so good. All four people agree that the expressiveness of this 3D is much worse than that of Avatar.
Even so, Tim Burtoon did not disappoint me. First of all, because the publication of Alice's Adventure in Wonderland in 1895, and the Disney Alice in Wonderland produced in 1951, both made me feel very... "tough". Very bored.
Frankly speaking, many "classics" are boring. Is not it? There was once an American novelist Washington Irving wrote a short story called Sleepy Hollow. Everyone in the American literature class was drowsy until the teacher took out a pirated version of Sleepy Hollow starring Johny Depp. classroom.
Tim Burton's 1999 film became my permanent collection, even though my friends thought the performance was too exaggerated. But I think that is humor.
Now he has used the rich colors of the usual stage art, slightly exaggerated performances, and the soundtrack of his old partner Danny Elfman, to "interpret" a boring classic into a modern classic with great entertainment and ideological value. Yes, in addition to Hollywood special effects, nonsense, and star lineup, Tim brings ideological value.
2010 Alice in Wonderland The philosophical question extracted from the original work is a classic mystery of existence: Who am I.
At the beginning of the film, as a married woman, Alice is a bit rebellious in her dress, but she bears the expectations of her mother and society in terms of major choices-marrying a rich and powerful, choosing an easy life trajectory. According to Freud’s theory, the superego of alice here has passed the environmental influences over the years, has the authority to guide Alice’s behavior, and even instructs Alice to do behaviors that go against Alice’s inner wishes and marry a frustrating person. .
And these external expectations formed a contradiction with Alice's natural impulse, making Alice entangled, so she ran away in full view. Pure psychoanalysis would think that Alice's fall into the rabbit hole is an act of escaping reality through fantasy. In the rebirth world of Wonderland, Alice finds very familiar and recallable details, as well as animals and people who can recognize herself.
The fantasy world of Alice, who originally wanted to escape the expectations of the society, did not do so. Instead, she fell into the center of the vortex of the Wonderland faction struggle. The Red Queen (called the Queen of Hearts in the original work) took advantage of the jabberwocky dragon’s lustful power to place Wonderland on her own. Under the willful and brutal rule. In order to avoid becoming the furniture of the Red Queen, various creatures had to wander through the wilderness. The talking animals told Alice that her destiny had already been chosen. She returned to Wonderland to become the warrior of the White Queen and kill jabberwocky with her own hands.
To the request to rescue the chaos, Alice replied, "You have admitted the wrong person!"
The dream in this story is undoubtedly the reflection of the real world. Alice is still evading the expectations of the world for her. Of course, if compared with Tu Long, I would rather marry Frustrate people.
Of course Alice did not do this. Like most young women of this age, Alice's choice is not to choose.
Here, Alice's adventure is reborn from the ashes of the original work and becomes interesting. There is no doubt that this story is about the choice of "who am I and what kind of life do I want to live". And this is a big problem. Alice must make a choice before the film ends-no matter what the choice is.
If Tim Burton only expressed the confrontation between the White and Red Queen as a confrontation between righteousness and evil, he would be no different from ordinary Hollywood directors. Tim Burton mischievously portrayed the White Queen as a boring, hypocritical, and artificial cook. Let the audience be unsure whether it is worth slaying the dragon for her.
And isn't this reality? Is there any political group that is really worth sacrificing our lives?
But sincerely evaluating, a leader who promises not to kill, but encourages others to kill, seems to be more benevolent than a leader who takes the initiative to kill various creatures. Therefore, votes can only be cast for the hypocritical White Queen.
But Alice's proposition is not about political orientation, but about her personal choices. After seeing the scene of wonderland being charred, Alice's sympathy for mad hatter induced self-growth and determination. Rescue Mad Hatter by going deep into the Red Queen’s castle, facing her fear for the first time, until she rushed to the White Queen’s castle (both castles were converted from Disney castles), prompting Alice to step by step toward inner choice and outer Expected confrontation.
Alice finally had to face the reality that she had been evading: When everyone's expectations fell on Alice again, Alice collapsed under tremendous mental pressure.
If you are familiar with Hollywood routines, you know that the characters change when they collapse. This is true of Kung Fu Panda, and so is Avatar.
The Wise Caterpillar gave Alice insight into her own life experience-she had been to Wonderland in her childhood and became a hero here, but she didn't remember it at this time.
Freud will reveal that the choices made in our childhood, because they are not constrained by the "superego", often come from pure natural desires, and this period represents our freedom. As we grow up in society, the "superego" becomes stronger and stronger, and our natural desires become more and more constrained. Alice's choice to become a hero is precisely a natural choice in her heart, breaking through the constraints of the "superego".
Alice has been quoted in the Matrix, and here Tim Burton has made Alice reappear in the Matrix of real self-realization. "Knowing oneself" created self-confidence. Alice did not stop the bullet suddenly, but she could use her own strength to behead Jabberwocky.
Alice and the caterpillar have undergone transformation together, and her thoughts in dreams have helped her find her way in reality. Alice refused the marriage contract in front of everyone, blessed her sister, ridiculed the rich and powerful, and even showed off her underwear.
If the audience thinks that these public statements are not enough to show Alice's growth, then choose to join the era of navigation, the first to open trade with China, enough to show Alice's heroic demeanor-let me together hope that she is not selling opium to China . Because the
PS
film is quite classical in text, it may not be culturally acceptable to Chinese audiences. More people who favor realism may sneer at it because of Tim Burton's usual exaggerated style. But for such a commercial work in the adaptation, it must be said that Tim Burton still holds the banner of American masters.
If you are asked to adapt "Peach Blossom Spring", "Mirror Flower", can you have the spirit of the times like Tim Burton?
