Alice in Wonderland

Movies are the gateway to understanding some people’s creativity. I thought that I had seen enough movies to be able to analyze Tim Burton’s chef-d’oeuvre, Alice in Wonderland.

Since I was a child, watching movies was one of my hobbies. I believe that my creativity has developed from watching movies much more than playing outside with my childhood friends. Movies enable me to see every inch of the world by just taking a glance on the television screen.

Alice in Wonderland was my favourite book when I was younger. I believe that it was the first book that I had read too. I have seen the animated fılm (Alice in Wonderland 1951) but I didn’t like it very much. I don’t know why but I didn’t feel thıs version stayed true to the book

Fıve years ago, I went to see Alice in Wonderland (2010) and that movie did give me a new perspective.

First of all, it had nothing to do with children’s tales. Wonderland was portrayed as a world full of darkness and despair. Alice was the key to stop all of these dark elements, however, Alice had an internal conflict. She did see Wonderland as a dream, not a real place. I believe her ability to see Wonderland for what it really was stemmed from the strange beliefs of society The society was full of prejudice and people wıth low self-esteem. They were mean to the new people and intolerant of unusual ideas. Alice fell down the rabbit hole in the beginning of the movieI believe Tim Burton was trying to ınspıre change in our society too. Tim Burton was trying to show ideas and imagination can change the world.

Lots of people didn’t like this movie because they had said that ıt had nothing in common with the real Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. But nevertheless people who saw the fılm were questıonıng beliefs ın our society and believing that there mıght be somethıng ın our world beyond what meets the eye.
