The story of Alice in Wonderland is an old one. Written by Lewis Carroll, it’s about a young girl who gets lost, falls down a rabbit hole and finds herself in a strange land filled with fantastical creatures and crazy people and she has to find a way home. This version has a twist however… I’m not going to tell you the twist. It’s better if you see it for yourself.
Make no mistake. This film is probably NOT a kid’s movie. Yes, it is about Alice in Wonderland but if you want your young and impressionable children to know this story, I suggest the 1951 Disney animated version… or just read them the books. This film has a dark demeanor and some parts are a little gruesome. If a 22 year old cringes then it may not be for the youngsters. You see eyes poked out and when Alice has to cross the castle moat there is a horrible moment of realization when you see it is not stones she is stepping on but decapitated human heads. Brilliant imagery, and it does answer that age old question of where heads go after they are removed from someone’s body, but nevertheless it is gruesome.
Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter is very good and I can just see hundreds of Depp wannabes tossing aside their homemade Jack Sparrow outfits, donning the orange wig and top hat and madly practicing their Scottish accents in front of the mirror. It’s interesting. I’ve never seen the Hatter as Scottish but I heard that each character was symbolic of different countries around the world and the downtrodden Scottish definitely fits with the Mad Hatter’s rebellious streak. Also, it made sense when you saw a full length shot of Depp and his character is wearing a kilt (something I failed to notice until the very end of the movie).
At some stages Johnny’s accent was so thick I had no idea what he was saying but I think that was the point. And the random mention of fezzes was something that I found absolutely hilarious. I’m sure my laughing was a little too loud but what could I do? It was funny, and how else was I going to prove in this room full of strangers that I was the biggest Johnny Depp fan in the known universe?
Another thing I noticed, and it might have just been me, was a little romantic undercurrent between the Hatter and Alice. You know, like at the end of The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy says, “I’ll miss you most of all Scarecrow”. When you were little you were always like, “But why?” and then as you got older you were like, “Ohhhhhh”. There was definitely a miss-you-most-of-all moment in this film.
I thought the exaggeration of limbs and eyes and such would freak me out. I have to say when I watched the trailer for this film I got a little huffy at Burton for messing with Johnny Depp’s beautiful, beautiful eyes, but after watching the movie I realise it was just part of the odd off- balance look that Burton wanted to give this movie. And it works very well. Also, I really didn’t mind his trademark curly trees because it actually worked within the context of the movie.
I liked the fact that there were actors that I could pick out by their voices. Alan Rickman as the Blue Caterpillar was an easy one to spot. I would know that contempt for everything anywhere. Matt Lucas as Tweedledum and Tweedledee was easy to spot as well and his face rendered into the centre of two fat little heads was pretty funny to watch. Crispin Glover playing a creepy thin man can’t go wrong (he’s very good at it). And of course Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway were excellent as well. Keep an eye out for Anne’s elbows in this movie. It’s hilarious. But I think the person who I was most impressed with in this film was Mia Wasikowska. I have never seen her in anything before in my life and I thought she was brilliant. She has a very interesting face and I liked the sullen quality she brought to the character of Alice.
The story was quite thrilling and involving. I got half way through the movie and realized I hadn’t written anything as I normally do because I was too involved in the film. And then you have the silent swearing moment followed by the madly trying to remember what came before while still watching moment…it was tough but I did it. Overall, I enjoyed it. Some bits of animation weren’t particularly smooth (the knave of heart’s horse) but overall the dark and dirty feel of this movie was well executed.

Alice in Wonderland book question?
My mom gave me this big book of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, and I just finished Alice in Wonderland, then the next section if the book is Alice:Through the looking glass.. is that like, extended?
This question must sound so silly.
I’m really sorry.
and also, is the mad hatter and the cheshire cat in that? they are my ultimate favorites xD
5 stars for best answer about Through The Looking Glass ok thankyou so much.
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children’s literature by Lewis Carroll. It is the sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.
And there are similar characters to The mad Hatter and the Chessire Cat, but I don’t think they are actually in it.
