Everyone is awake, I am drunk alone, Tim Burton's dream journey alone
------------ Comments on the movie "Alice in Wonderland"

when the stars change, everything changes, the only constant It is the heart full of innocence.
The light and shadow are changeable and the styles are different, but the only constant is the fairy-tale-like dream world.

Looking at the film industry today, there are fewer and fewer directors like Tim Burton who have insisted on creating his own unique image style for many years. He and Johnny Depp's golden partner are in In just 20 years, I do not know how many fans have conquered, from the melancholy and lonely Edward Scissorhands, to the childlike Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, to the dark Gothic barber Todd, these well-known characters shine on the screen. Because of Tim Burton's different imagination and grotesque image style, no matter what the critics say about how Burton and Depp are overrated, it is undeniable that Tim Burton is the most important film in the past two decades. One of the most powerful and personal directors. Just as Martin Scorsese created Robert Deloni, David Fincher created Brad Pitt, and without Tim Burton there would be no today's heartthrob Johnny Depp. The two complement each other and write together. The most flamboyant golden partner in movie history.



"Alice in Wonderland" is a children's literature work published by British writer Charles Ludwig Dodgson under the pseudonym Louis Carroll in 1865. With its rich and bold imagination, full of childlike story background, positive and upward His outlook on life is well-known in the world and has been revised countlessly by the drama and film industry. It can be said that it is as well-known in Western countries as China's Journey to the West, and Tim Burton, who has always had a wild and unbridled fantasy imagination, chose to shoot like this. movies, of course. However, after watching the movie, I can't help but be a little disappointed. The whole movie doesn't seem to have any obvious flaws, but I always feel that it lacks bright spots and is too bland. No matter the plot or the performance, it seems very bland, and it did not reach the height I expected. .



It is said that a movie like Alice in Wonderland with a genius director like Tim Burton should give people a refreshing feeling, but the magic effect of Tim Burton's movie seems to be invalid. On the plot, the little girl In a paradise-like fairyland adventure, coupled with the struggle for power between a pair of sisters, it seems very exciting, but in fact it lacks a certain amount of dramatic conflict variables, and there is no magnificent war scene like "The Chronicles of Narnia". I didn't see the sincere and touching emotional theme like "Big Fish", and it lacked the legendary gothic interpretation like "Edward Scissorhands". The whole movie is like a smooth train, no speed changes, no sharp turns, calm Going straight to the end, Tim Burton's screen mythology is also bleak. Throughout the film, Tim Burton seems to be compromising on the masses, compromising on mainstream 3D. The 3D effect is of course the development trend of today's film industry, but even with the effect of gorgeous pictures, Burton's dark gothic style has been completely lost. Although the film retains Tim Burton's unique movie elements, it is unrestrained. but for the reason of adapting classic works, it is difficult for this rich imagination to play a role in the plot, so we had to transform the character modeling and props, so we are also happy to see the very tidy Mberton-style, extremely exaggerated characters, you can see from the red and white queen's shape, plus the weird twin fat brothers, the cute big cat that appears and disappears, we have Reason wanders in these grotesque imaginations, throwing away the troubles of real life to experience the rare comfort.

Limited to the story space of the original book, the storyline of the whole movie is a little monotonous and cliché, and Tim Burton seems to be too deliberate to create a gorgeous visual effect of the whole movie, while ignoring the biggest positive factor of this type of movie, that is, the movement. Infecting people's hearts with love Travel Notes" and "Summer of Kikujiro" are all arranged in this way, the audience can not only recover their lost childlike innocence, but also get spiritual baptism with the movie protagonist and complete the redemption of human nature. "Alice" seems to be the last heroine who reluctantly left Wonderland, learned to know herself bravely, and got the sublimation of self-knowledge. The theme is there, but it is difficult for people to resonate. Here, I can't help but think of my favorite Tim Burton's work "Big Fish", which is visually imaginative and emotionally moving and in Tim Burton's films.




In this fiercely competitive film and television industry, there are fewer and fewer people who are still persistently pursuing their own film ideas. The Gothic fairy tale created by Tim Burton will continue to compose his new mythology. With the continuous innovation of technology, we have reason to expect that Tim Burton's dream-making plan will receive more attention. If you have a dream, you will have the motivation to move forward. If you have a childlike innocence, you will not lose the most beautiful things in human nature. I believe in Burton's childhood dream. It will continue...


In the real world where everyone is awake, Alice bravely pursues her own dream time, vaguely in the fantastic night sky, and uses a heart that dares to pursue the true self to complete her spiritual life. sublimation.
In the screen image of Drunk alone, Burton is lonely and persistent in creating a fairy tale world that is loyal to himself. In an instant, on the stage of imaginative imagination, we read the joy of growing up from a play full of innocence.
