With Alice in Wonderland... by Barbora Misakova

As I have just read that Tim Burton’s new movie Alice in Wonderland had a mammoth opening weekend of $116.1 million, I guess I am not the only one who cannot wait to see it. I love Burton and the way he works. I love he is always trying to distil Johnny Depp into his pictures and I love the fact it all somehow work together. Alice in Wonderland is a fantasy adventure film which uses a technique of combining live action and animation. Burton made his voice heard that original Wonderland story was always about a girl wandering around from one character to another, what he wanted to change as he never felt any real emotional connection. His intention was not to create a ! movie sequel to previous films nor movie composited from series of events, but to create a movie telling the story. Story of a girl who is the only one that can slay a dragon living in the Underland was inspired by Jabberwocky poem, that was a part of Burton’s “framework”. As he explained: “the goal is to try to make it an engaging movie where you get some of the psychology and kind of bring a freshness but also keep the classic nature of Alice.” Reviews of the movie are giving it a rating average of 5.8 out of 10 what gives a movie an overall approval rating of 61 percent, what is nothing special. Rotten Tomatoes’ general consensus is that: “Tim Burton’s Alice sacrifices the book’s minimal narrative coherence – and much of its hear – but it’s an undeniable visual treat.”
