I think the key point of Burton’s movie is it’s about her “return” to Wonderland as a young woman, not the first visit when she was a child.
A new twist and the family and I will see it later next week.
I haven’t liked anything Tim Burton has done.
His movies are creepy, even when the subject isn’t creepy.
Wow. I clicked on the link to your review. “Dazzling visual experience” — is that ALL you’ve got to say about the movie?
Overly critical you ask?
Yeah, just a tad.
I tend to like films with strong visual styles. It doesn't have to always be a particular visual style, but I like something distinctive. Science Fiction and Fantasy movies tend to have more excuse for an "interesting look" but other films can achieve this.
"Blade Runner" had a distinctive look.
"Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" had a distinctive look.
"Streets of Fire" by Walter Hill had a distinctive look.
Tim Burton films always have a distinctive look.
Terry Gilliam films always have a distinctive look.
My question: Is there a cinematic term for this? It's not cinematography. It's more than set design. Is this something that the Director brings to the table himself -- or does he go and hire someone who then provides this visual sense?
I think I'm asking a vocabulary question, but maybe the answer is just "that's what the director does you fool".
Thoughts?
Since learning that Louis Carroll was a pedophile, this subject is indeed creepy to me.
It looks amazing in the commercials.

burton/depp = egos bigger than works of Carroll, Irving, etc
