Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland
2010
IN Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton, added his own gothic and unconventional twists to the adaptation of the book written in the 1800s by Lewis Carroll.
It follows young Alice, who, in her attempt to escape a planned engagement party, gets ‘distracted’ by the White Rabbit running by. She follows him, falls into his borrow and ends up in a fantasy world known as Underland.
In this mysterious place she is greeted by various comical characters such as the Cheshire cat and the Mad Hatter. Alice is overwhelmed by the numerous obstacles she has to overcome on her journey through Underland. She becomes increasingly frustrated with the fact that she cannot wake up.
In one of the scenes in the movie she cleverly managed to outsmart the Red Queen and weasel her way into the palace so as to find the Vorpal Sword.
Inside she not only finds the sword but her captured friends from the tea party. She manages to snatch the sword and carry it to the White Queen. The infuriated Red Queen then sends her Jabberwocky after Alice and the other fairytale creatures that have escaped.
It is when she is faced with the task of slaying the Jabberwocky that Alice realises Underland is no dream and that she has to do the unthinkable to return home. What could possibly be so bad? Watch and see.
