Alice In Wonderland

I went to watch the movie “Alice in wonderland” with my friends on last Thursday. Shirley does not follow us because she was not free that night. We went to the cinema at One Borneo at about eight o’clock and went to the ticket counter there to buy the ticket. We were lucky because last Thursday was actually the preem of the movie so there was many people going to watch the movie, and we succeed to buy the last nine movie tickets although the seats are considered quite front for us. The movie starts at 9:25, so they decide to have some “snacks” at McDonald while waiting for the time.

“Alice in Wonderland” is a 2010 fantasy adventure film directed by Tim Burton, written by Linda Woolverton, and starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice Kingsleigh, Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as Iracebeth of Crims, the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as Mirana of Marmoreal, the White Queen, Crispin Glover as Ilosovic Stayne, the Knave of Hearts, and other peoples. It is an extension of Lewis Carrol’s novels Alice’s adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The film uses a technique of combining live action and animation.

In the film, as overall, Alice is now nineteen years old and accidentally returns to Underland, a place where she previously visited thirteen years ago. She is told that she is the only one that can slay the Jabberwocky, a dragon controlled by the Red Queen.

Troubled by a recurring dream featuring strange creatures, nineteen-year-old Alice Kingsley attends a party at a Victorian estate shortly after the death of her beloved father. She learns that the formal affair is actually an engagement party to eventually wed her into the Ascot family who now own her father's trading firm. Unsure of how to reply to Hamish Ascot's proposal, Alice runs away and follows the White Rabbit, Nivens McTwisp. She then falls down a rabbit hole into Underland, where she is told that she is the only one that can slay the Jabberwocky. At the last part of the movie, Alice fights the Jabberwocky and is nearly killed but the Hatter distracts it, starting an all out brawl between the Red and While Queens’ forces. The Hatter fights and overcomes Ilosovic as Alice beheads the Jabberwocky.

Without the beast to instill fear, the Red Queen is deposed and banished with Stayne to the outlands forever. Alice returns home, where she refuses Hamish’s proposal and becomes an apprentice for his father with the idea of beginning trade routes with China. The film ends withAlice sailing away on a ship with Absolem, now as a butterly, fluttering off and away from her shoulder.

I think this is not a bad movie although it does not as splendid as Avatar or other movie, but still it has good effect and all the wonderful background and actors/actress combining with animation especially some of the animates are extremely cute and look real.
