Wonderfuller and Wonderfuller


The new Alice in Wonderland. Brilliant, to say the least. In fact, I intend to see it again. And even again, if possible. It’s just that good. The kind of movie that has so many subtleties that I want to be sure I catch all of them! I was asked if any one character stole the show. I thought all of them were amazing and purrfect. But in my mind, the show stealer was the Cheshire Cat. Cause he was even purrfecter than purrfect. And I'm making everyone who sees the movie promise to think of me when they hear him say, "Goodbye, sweet hat." I dunno why, but I got such a kick out of that line. Like what cat would ever say that?

Many people are dressing up to attend. Here is a picture of my sweet Angel, dressed up in her “pushy cat” hat and her "pushy cat" eyes. Is she not the most cuddly thing?

But what I loved most about the movie was the message. Ultimately, you must live according to your own conscience. Because you may be surrounded by those who are supportive while you do their bidding. But when it comes down to the real battles in your life, you will fight them alone.

Meow.

This is a fun review. I might just have to check it out Teri!

And I love the last line - walking to the beat of your own drum and remembering that when it comes down to it, the fight is yours and yours alone. We never realize it until we are right there, faced with the reality that it is either fight for ourselves or go with the crowd and risk losing ourselves.

hehehe I thought you'd love that ad ;P I also liked your blog post more than the movie :)

I read an interview with Helena Bonham Carter and she said her toddler "dictator" daughter was the impression for her character, with her demanding "here mummy", "now mummy", "come mummy" etc. lol too cute.
