Alice Through The Looking Glass: Movie VS. Book

Fist thing first, in the video, I tried to look as pale as possible, so that I can look like Tim Burton's movie character, BUT I forgot to mention it in the video. THE EPIC FAIL FOR MY FIRST VLOG. DONE ALL THE PALE SKIN AND LIPS MAKEUP, AND FORGOT TO MENTION IT (the scar is real by the way.)

Back to the topic. Last week, we went down the rabbit hole with Alice. This week, let's go through the glass with Alice. As I have promised in the video, here are the details of differences between the movie and the book. If you want only the summarized information, watch the vlog.

For the movie version. It was directed by James Bobin, not by Tim Burton. No wonder why the movie has much brighter tone. Still, I wonder what would the movie look like if it was directed by Tim Burton. His style is a piece of art!

Alice Through The Looking Glass made less money comparing to Alice In Wonderland. According to the Box office, "Through The looking glass" got 295.1 million USD, and "In Wonderland" got 1.025 billion USD. That's a huge different.

This time, Alice had returned from her journey over the sea as a female captain. She had been away from her home for 3 years. A lot of things had changed, including her beloved wonderland. So, this time, instead of following the white rabbit, she follows the blue butterfly, Absolem the blue caterpillar from wonderland, through the glass, and back to wonderland again.

For the book version, there is no Captian Alice. There is only the same old 7 and half years old Alice, who always curious about everything. She wonders what would happen if there's another world behind the looking glass, SO SHE GOES THOUGH THE GLASS BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO DO SO. (Thug life) And the story is totally different from the movie version. The original version Mad Hatter did not go mad from missing his family. And this is where my favorite scene from Alice In Wonderland Cartoon, The flower garden scene, appear. Alice meets the talking flowers. For me, The talking flowers represent people that always gossip. In the cartoon, the flowers call Alice a weed because she's not a flower, she's a human. So, the flower feels disgusted toward her. But, not being flower does not mean that she's a weed. Being different does not mean that you are a freak. For Humpty Dumpty, in the movie, he's just there, doing nothing but being typical Humpty Dumpty. Falls to the ground and cracks into pieces. However, the book version, Humpty Dumpty has his own chapter. He's the one who help Alice solve the meaning of the poem. For me, Humpty Dumpty represents the easily ___ hurt person, who offends other people, but easily feel offended.

The red queen and the white queen are also totally different from the movie version. The red queen seems nice. Not the "OFF WITH THE HEAD" red queen, but the white queen is more like a bonkers instead of the sweet queen (I'm sorry white queen, you're are still my favorite character from the movie anyway.)

I prefer the movie version. I know that a lot of people will disagree with me, but I really like the movie version. It's fun to watch and teach you about "Time!" Trust me, it's not an incredibly good movie that everyone has to watch, but it's good enough to make you happy and appreciate your time that you have. Not to mention that the dialogue is also beautiful. Give the remake version chance, people!
