It is not a long time after saying goodbye with the Amazing Avatar to welcome Alice in Wonderland, which is not like Avatar to let every existence to be biological and every event to be logical. According to Tim Burton, create a colorful and odd time zone would be more important.
Special Efficacy——the only Attraction
Original story is a well-known story edited to various artistic works from graduation performance of kindergarden to film showing around the world. And the printed story is also going on and on. All those edited versions is still be faith to the original story. Now this new film also try to find a emotional touch spot for not only considering the audience and market but also emotional clue to the heroin to revisit the wonderland. Of course it is not a noval action, however, it is sincere. But this film seems a little absence-minded for all the key plots is too considerable to let the story go naturally. So the attraction of the story can only be special efficacy.
According to visual feeling, Alice in Wonderland is better than the 3D Avatar accoding to some audience. But when looking back to the original story, we can find it hardly to express more than the setting plots and clues. The strange feeling between Heroin and Mad Hatter make things confusing. Moreover, adding some purposes such as touching story style to the film makes it more than just odd.
Besides Capital, is Preference
Tim Burton give us a great visual enjoyment with his Gothic style. He has the gift to create odd film. But this film will more some audience feel a little uncomfortable as Tim Burton is not good at telling story but designing a setting and making imagination fullfil. So Tim Burton is a work artist. He shows us unique and unimaginable industry design in his great experiement and let us know how important is freedom to him.
So this film has preference as all of us to have preference to director, editor, actor, etc. It is not a good thing, but we can understand. That is why Cheshire cat will come out again and again.
Last but not Least
It is no fair to critize this film lost of creation for the setting story. So let's talk about special efficacy again. Cameron and his Avatar have a great distribution to the 3D technology and development of film tech. And animation can be move back to lines after Miyazaki Hayao's expression. And now human's acting can only use voice or not use anything at all in a near future. Computer technology let us see the special efficacy. Virtual character becomes real and adorable. Actors only longer need pretty face which can handled by staffs, such as Red Queen.
That may be just a direction for the development of film. And main stream is still the simple story narrating simple man, according to my understanding. Alice in Wonderland is just like a gossip news to original story. As fairy tale, it does not bring surprise to us but some imaginable character. Time continues to pass and 3D is just a hot spot for a while. When the real live becomes more si-fi, all those 3D films will come to an end.
