Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Caught this movie with Yong on Saturday morning after my insistent chanting, 'I want to see Alice in Wonderland...'I want to see Alice in Wonderland...'I want to see Alice in Wonderland...'

Sypnosis: 17-year-old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. She runs off, following the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen) into a hole and ends up in Wonderland, a place she visited in a similar manner 10 years before, yet doesn't remember. Wonderland was a peaceful kingdom until the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) overthrew her sister, the White Queen (Anne Hathaway). The creatures of Wonderland, such as the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas) and the March Hare (Paul Whitehouse), ready to revolt, wait for Alice to help them. With the help of the White Queen, the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) and the Caterpillar (Alan Rickman), Alice starts seeing flashbacks of her original visit, back when she was seven

The makeup and costumes weren't exactly what I had imagined when I was reading this book at 5 or 6??

Probably lack of it at that time.

I can't stop connecting some scenes of Johnny Depp to the 'Pirates of the Carribean' and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

Especially the parts where he seemed lost in thoughts - the expression reminded me of his role as Willy Wonka.

Anne Hathaway - Yong remembered her as the princess diaries..

We were both mimicking her actions during and after the show.

So prim and proper with her fling of the wrist or a twist of her skirt.

Her facial expression was so 'fake'..hahhaha..but I think that's what a fairytale is about!!

'Off with their Heads!!!!'

She was hilarious!!!!

Portrayed the role to the T!

The storyline could be a 2nd episode to the Alice in Wonderland fairytale we read when we were young.

It wasn't about the trip Alice made when she was 7 but a second trip to Wonderland when she was 17.

It was interesting but slightly twisted with the wars between sisters etc (I don't really remember the storyline of the original Alice in Wonderland but I don't think there was a good and bad sister in it?)

Anyway, the truth is that sisters fight!

Ami and I have been at each other's throat since what 2-3 years old??

But the ending was a tad sad as the red queen was banished.

Haiz..what happened to family being the most important asset and we should learn to forgive and forget?!

I suppose as we grow up we forget lessons we learn when we are young.

The simple lessons such as telling the truth or standing up for what you believe in.

As we grow older and we lose our sense of directions in life.

We just get pushed by the current to where the current goes to.

We start getting lazy, start finding excuses or blaming others in life...

I guess that's what the story was trying to tell me.

That deep down inside, I should find back all those lessons learnt when I was young (be it good or bad) and remember them.

Overall, it was a great movie with great makeup and great effects.

Pay attention to Johnny Depp's eyes!!!
