Are you as mad as the Mad Hatter?
I’m not because I’ve already watched Alice in Wonderland! You’d be incredibly mad and tear your hair out if you didn’t catch this fabulous movie. I’ll tell you why.
It was a spectacular show with fantastic CGI and incredible detail. I loved every minute of the visual spectacle. The producers took great pains to bring the famous Disney characters to life; the white rabbit looked like it came straight out of the classic cartoon. Tim Burton was also careful to ensure Wonderland was as wonderful as we know it. The colours were mind-boggling, cinematography dramatic and characters entertaining. This whole experience of venturing through Wonderland was thoroughly enjoyable. Well done, Burton!
I was actually invited to watch the movie in 3D but sadly couldnt do so owing to work commitments. If I had, my eyeballs most likely would have fallen out of their sockets, seeing how wide I’d already opened my eyes to take in the gorgeous CGI during the regular screening.
Character wise, I liked Alice. She was a revolutionary girl of her time and dared to challenge the norms of her society. She was not afraid to say “No”. Sadly, I felt she was a little overshadowed by the rest of the characters while in Wonderland. That, however, could have been entirely part of the story line because she was supposed to…….. I’M NOT TELLING YOU! Haha. You have to go watch it. I’m not going to give away any spoilers here. Haha.
Another character that really stood out for me was the Mad Hatter. He was insanely funny and well, just plain insane. Johnny Depp was the epitome of the Mad Hatter. He played the character sooooo well and embodied the true essence of what it was like to be a little mad in the head. If I had to pick, I’d say he was my favourite character among all the other fabulous ones. Mad Hatter was madly entertaining, had mad eyes, madly funny, mad in the head and made me laugh like mad especially when he did his mad little dance at the end.
Okay, that was a little too many “mads” in the sentence. But you get my point.
Brilliant costumes (I want Alice’s red dress!), superb makeup (I love how they did the Mad Hatter’s makeup) and funny antics throughout the show might make you go a little crazy in the head as you’re watching it. But really, if you watch it and go a little mad, bonkers, off your rockers just like the Mad Hatter because of the show’s awesomeness, it’s really quite all right.
You know why?
I’ll let you in on a little secret, it’s because all the best people are. Even Alice would agree.
Alice in Wonderland is now showing in cinemas.
