Brielle and i had our second movie date yesterday and we went to see Alice in Wonderland. I pretty much went in knowing absolutely nothing about the movie. I had sort of seen the previews out of the corner of my eye while I was working but that is as much information as I had going in. I honestly expected to daydream through more Disney fluff.I was blown away. This movie was absolutely fantastic. I am not a movie buff and I don’t have time or the attention span to sit through most movies without thinking about work or my to do list. I watched this movie from start to finish and totally lost myself in it. I didn’t even realize until the closing credits that it was a Tim Burton movie. That totally explained it of course. Tim Burton kicks ass. The Tim Burton/Johnny Depp combo? Yeah…nobody better. Period.
The cast was out of this world, the plot incredible, production values and graphics state of the art. It was just great. As for positive, strong female role model? I can’t think of a better one for Brielle to see than Alice. Alice rewrites feminism in a quiet, confident, dragon slaying kind of way. She does not do what women are “expected to do”. She kicked ass.
The icing on the cake was the 3D which has improved dramatically since the last time I saw anything in 3D about fifteen years ago when I used to frequent the Disney theme parks in the early 90s. My things have changed.
Was it appropriate for a 4 year old? Sure. I get uptight about certain things but fantasy films where a dragon is slayed in the end don’t fall under my list of violent movies. Brielle loved it. She thought ALL the characters were great. She sat through the whole movie and asked a few questions but was pretty much as intoxicated as I was. Scale of one to ten? Fifteen.
