Alice made my day...

I had a pretty bad day on Friday...I felt bad, I felt kinda exhausted, was pissed by someone... a day that felt like everything was breaking apart...
It was one of the days when u just want to lock yourself up in your room...all on your own...

and then something made my day...
it was just a movie...
it was alice...

I met up with my friend... we just went to have dinner together when it started to snow again all of a sudden... even though it had seemed like spring was about to finally start...

and then both of us spontaneously came to think it would be cool to go to watch a movie... and we picked Alice... without having to take a second guess...


to be honest...I can be prejudiced sometimes... so I would usually rather not be interested in watching movies such as Alice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or stuff like that...

but for everyone prejudiced as me... no, it is not a movie only for kids...

It is definitely worth watching it...

It reminded me of my childhood, when I loved reading my Alice book... I still see the disney alice in front of me...

It was different of course, but I was enthousiastic about it...
the different characters were pretty convincing... I loved the Red Queen played by a hilarious Helena Bonham Carter... to be honest... somehow I found her charming in some way and pretty funny... whereas the White Queen, played by Anne Hathaway, appeared somehow a bit witchy and diabolic to me...cannot quite explain why...at some stage I was like... did they swap the good and the bad characters?
then we had a lovely Alice... whose first impression was pretty ...how to put it? miserable? she looked pretty sick and unhappy with the dark circles around her eyes...

but throughout the movie she became more and more beautiful...and powerful...
people loving fashion will love her lovely dresses...
as u might know from the children book, she changes her bodysize from time to time by eating cookies enlarging her to the size of a giant or drinking a magic potion making her shrink to the size of a dwarf....

and whenever that happens...she gets wears a a new lovely dress all of a sudden...
Once the mad hatter, played by Johnny Depp, makes her a tiny little, beautiful dress within seconds, while Alice, tiny as a dwarf, is hiding in a tea can without any clothes on...

I do not want to tell the whole story...u need to go for it yourself and enjoy the movie... the beautiful pictures... a lovely cheshire cat that reminded me somewhat of a Jack Nicholson...cannot quite explain that either...it might probably got his German dubbing voice...

I gotta say...my friend and I we laughed a lot... it was really entertaining with surprising effects and when I left the movies, I had a big smile on my face...that would not leave until I finally got to sleep after that bad day...
I do repeat that movie made my day...
sometimes...I wish I could be a child again... or at least an Alice or an Amélie...who are both kinda weird...different....not normal...a bit crazy... imagining things no one rarely ever thinks about...

here are some pics I found in the www...

let this movie make your day, too...

peace
