I finally found the right time to see "Alice in Wonderland" in 3D at IMAX (for the first time) with friends yesterday. Its enormous screen is marvelous which makes 3D movie more enjoyable to watch!
I quite liked this version by Tim Burton. His imagination and creativity always amazed us and it's more fun to see in 3D (I hope all movie in the nearest future won't turn into 3D only). Johny Depp as 'Mad Hatter' is a genius actor, as usual. He always turns his twisted character into a masterpiece of art, and it's quite a slightly chance to see him play a normal character recently beside "Public Enemy" (if you count "Imaginarium of Dr.Panasus"?). But I have to say that he fairly suits with those character and it seems nobody else can do better than him. Helena Bonham Carter, this name we don't need explain anything more. She's like Mr.Depp, her ability to adapt and live her character is beyond description. Mia Wasikowska suits the role as a confused teenager, Alice. So, generally I love the movie for its package; fantasy, colorful, entertaining, great crews, brilliant effect, etc. This movie I recommend that you should see it (IMAX, if possible!).
Talk about movie and also don't forget to talk about what did you learn from it. Alice, at age of 19, is confusing with her life since she lost her dad (it seems), and keep telling herself that it's all just a dream (about Wonderland). While everybody tends to follow the society and try to impress each other by forgetting what they really want just because they don't want to be different. Why we are so afraid to be different? Why you want to blend in when we born to stand out, to be unique? Do we really need to fit in to be loved and accepted? Answer is quite clear for some people; 'Yes' they say. 'Yes' because they can't stand to be afraid, to be humiliated, to be a freak while some people think and pretend that being normal is the best solution to fit into this (circus) society. I used to think like that; I wanted to be pretty so that boys at school would pay attention on me (imagine me as a chubby kid with a glasses on). I wanted to be bitchy so that some people would like me. I wanted to be a walking skeleton so they would accept me into modeling agency and fashion world or even show biz world. I tried so hard to impress everyone but then I found myself loosing my soul, my happiness and my pride. I don't need to be told what's best for me. I don't need to be loved and understood by the whole world. And most of all, I don't need to be judged by a group of two-faced and hypocritical. I know now who I am and who I want to be, not pretend to be. I have my parents, friends and my love who understand me, love me and care for me. That's enough.
Don't be afraid to stand out, remember who you are and believe in yourself. This world is just a ridiculous big tent of circus. We, all, are a freak but at least I am proud and happy to be a freak. What do you proud of?
