Know your books, Burton
PostedMarch 7, 2010
Ashes2448
from Little Rock, AR
I realize Burton is a revisionist, but this went beyond that--and not in a positive way. Part of the wonder of the Alice stories is that its themes are subtly presented; I felt Burton was hitting us over the head with a pseudo-feminist, overly anti-authority version of Alice--as if this is what happened had Alice Liddell (the real Alice) had not grown up into a stodgy Victorian. There were some inconsistencies & choppiness in the plot & great departures from the characters/stories. But I did enjoy watching the costumes and scenery and 3D effects--lovely, lovely, lovely (outside the context of the stories). I definitely recommend the books over this film. You have to know where this comes from first!!
No, I do not recommend this movie.
