"The Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad?
Alice Kingsley: I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are." (source:www.imdb.com)
Alice in Wonderland used to be a pretty scary story in my childhood, but Tim Burton's movie casting Helena Bonham Carter, Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp was a burst of color and imagination. Decors, costumes, colors were perfectly staging the old story by a new perspective. 13 years after her first adventure in Wonderland, as she used to call it, Alice, who's about to be proposed by an young unattractive lord, ran from her engagement party and got into that rabbit hole once again. Her old friends were waiting for her to save them from the Red Queen, the "Off with his head" terrible queen, incredibly well portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter. That character gives you shivers and makes you laugh at the same time, especially when she asks for a feet pillow and there is brought a pig which belly makes her feet warmer.
But the character I loved the most, even much more than The Mad Hatter, was Cheshire the Smiling Cat. It was so fuzzy, and fury, and puffy, and lazy, and it has such turquoise stripes and eyes that's impossible not to love it (OK, despite those teeth).
Even though I felt that there was something unfinished about this movie, I liked it and I'll give it a 7.7/10. And it was something about the Hatter, that complex character portrayed by Johnny Depp with his Depp accent and his Depp madness style, something that made him incomplete. I haven't figured it out exactly what's missing from the picture, but I'm gonna see the movie again if necessary.
So, can you name 6 impossible things until tomorrow morning?
