Alice and Wonderland

This weekend I went to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. I wasn't sure what to expect, but ended up really enjoying the film. Burton is very good at recreating classic stories into a new and improved version. Each of Burton's recreations are more over the top and outrageous than their originals. He is able to be very creative and unusual without being over done.

I really enjoy the mood and atmosphere that Tim Burton creates within the scenes of his films. He seems to be most known for the dark and eery. He adds a dark, fantastical twist to his films that often is bizare and strange. This is what is really interesting to me.

Alice in Wonderland was quite a masterpiece of art. The scenery is very rich in color and beauty. The scenery sets the mood for the entire film. The characters' makeup and costumes also follow the richness and beauty of the scenery. The characters looks are extreme and imaginative, which is very appealing.

I like that Burton changes a classic just enough to make it his own. Burton's Alice and Wonderland is a sequel to the original Alice and Wonderland yet incorporates many elements of the original story. The story line is more exciting and interesting than it's original. I would highly suggest seeing this film to anyone who is interested in film and the arts. Alice and Wonderland is very well done and intriguing.
