The screen has a vision of early printing

My first is one of the most talented of his generation directors. My second is a bestseller of universal literature. My third is the most important technological revolution cinema has known since the transition to the speaking. My everything is a total success. By adapting "Alice in the country of wonders", delirium psychedelic Pastor Charles l. Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, Tim Burton meets feet into the unknown. He embarks in the adventure his fetish actor, Johnny Depp (the Mad Hatter), his wife Helena Bonham Carter (Iracebeth, the Red Queen), and a new passenger, 3D. "The story seemed amenable to perfect this technique unless it falls within the gadget, says Tim Burton." With "Alice", the sensations are important if 3D seemed me very appropriate. The screen has a vision of early printing.

It is indeed a debauchery of chromatic variations, distortions, Sham, travel, shimmering and miroitements. These images not mobilize not simply the eye, but the whole brain, to the point that we would often like to "fix" them to be waterlogged sensations that they have on you. The most banal of fungi, the palest rays of moon, the most trivial of ferns, mosses, flowers, lianes have been the subject of intensive care. It is the comments of Tim Burton on the margins of the 2,500 plans virtual operation revealed "Alice": "More invaded road of vegetation", "change the fungus", "more foam", "I added internal lighting", "blood-red steps", "there is some lightning during this sequence," etc.

The same manic care has been taken to clothing and makeup, starting with those of the Mad Hatter with his orange hair electric, its Green lentils to asymmetric pupils enlarge his eyes, his coils of wire slung as cartridges to draw, its thimbles and its colourful cloak of celestial tramp. Johnny Depp has himself made sketches which he imagined his character and proved very close to those drawn in his corner, by Tim Burton. The same care has been taken to the red, hydrocephalic Queen cloning Bette Davis in "Elisabeth 1", in Michael Curtiz. his sister and rival the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), a kind of Elf vegan and pacifist who appears to be barely out of the filming of the "Lord of the rings" and behaves, as Johnny Depp, "as if someone had paid a trick in his punch"; Special mention, finally, to Absolem, brother-Caterpillar of Obiwan Kenobi issuing its oracles behind his hookah smoke clouds as if Aldous Huxley in person had opened "the doors of perception".

The greatest directors are confronted with the myth of Alice since the first version, mute, 1903, until Jonathan Miller with Peter Sellers in Mad Hatter (1967), passing by the Walt Disney cartoon (1951) or dedicated reading that made Norman McLeod with W.C. Field, Humpty Dumpty, Cary Grant in Simili-Tortue and Gary Cooper in white rider (scenario of Joseph Mankiewicz)(, 1933). With the exception of the latter, no version is through the eyes of Tim Burton. "They just égréner a series of extravagant events which takes part girl passive and boring." It does not have great meaning.

The scenario of Linda Woolverton which mixes the two novels of Carroll, "Alice in the country of wonders" and "on the other side of the mirror" is intended to give meaning to the company. Alice, 19 years, is not a little girl. It is a young woman that it wants to marry against her will in a case of lord race end, alabaster and roux. His fall in the den following the white rabbit is a rite of passage to adulthood as a first act of rebellion. His stay in "backcountry" he serves psychoanalytic cure and political awareness accelerated.

Because, on the other side of the mirror, the people are not only a grain but especially the raised fist against the abuses of the Red Queen and her heart Valet (Crispin Glover). On the Mad Hatter (whose clan was exterminated by the Red Queen, the Jabberwocky fatal weapon), the dog Bayard, heroic figure of resistance, is active. And it is Panzer in Joan of Arc that Alice will overcome the Jabberwocky (which speaks with the voice of Christopher Lee), releasing "backcountry", rising to the surface to say "no" to pale rouquin sound, balancing its four truths to the puritanical society before embarking for China on the trace of the dreams of his late father. Jacket and tie.
