the movie is disturbing?


I saw it when it aired as a kid, and the cartoon as a kid. But from recent bullitens that it brainwashes u and all that stuff. Was Lewis Carrol an acholic i no Poe was. I have never read the books but is this supposed to be a scary situation. There is a new movie comin out where it is a horror flick.

That would be American McGee's Alice; which is a rather nice take on the original story. At least I liked it, but I like that kind of thing.

I havent seen it yet, but I wanto really bad, becuz this movie has alot of good actors in it. Mostly I want to see it becuz Martin Short is in it, but anyway. I found a clip of Auntie's Wooden Leg and the March Hare scares the crap out of me. He looks like a donkey not a rabbit. SCARY!

If we forget religion, and just concentrate on acting human, something is going right.

Actually, in Victorian England, people took opium to calm their nerves. They thought of it as something normal, not that they were consuming an illegal substance or trying to get high. Carroll was one of these people.

The books are not as happy as the Disney adaptation, as they can rather creepy, in an existential sort of way. A child going among mad adults who are varying degrees of belittling and hostile to her is not pleasant when you think about. The logic in it isn't exactly like children's books today, as they seemed to be more mature back then. I still enjoy the whimsy of it while recognizing the creepiness.
People have expanded upon this mad world in many adaptations, like the American Mcgee game, Dreamchild and Svankmajer's Alice.
