Rosto

what first one? the only Alice movie I can remember seeing is the animated Disney one...
sweatdrop (unless that's the one you're talking about)
and Rosto, was it really? I didn't get a sense of
Through the Looking Glass from the commercials...it looked like Burton took the world, tweaked a few characters, and wrote his own story...in short, it looked like fanfiction (not that that's a bad thing or that the movie's not good)
I haven't seen it yet but I don't think I will in theaters, maybe when it's released on dvd I'll see it
I am pretty sure, it is through the looking glass, because it says, you're back again alice, and it matches up with some other versions of alice in wonderland series.
[:
eh, I'm still not convinced...you're right, it does look like some things match up better with
Through the Looking Glass like the chess theme, Tweedle-Dee and -Dum, etc. but it also has elements of Wonderland like the Mad Hatter and tea party, the rabbit hole, Cheshire Cat, etc.
and Looking Glass is not
really a sequel to Wonderland, they don't take place in the same location for example and the only thing they really have in common is Alice herself, there is no "back again"
I could be wrong but it does look like a mash-up of the two with a new plotline, taking really the essence of Wonderland and maturing it a bit, which actually I think is a good thing...if anyone here has read the books, you know they are very much Victorian children's literature and Alice is mostly reacting to whatever happens and exclaiming at how odd it is; the setting is what makes the books interesting...Alice is more of a tour guide or an avatar for the reader, designed to take the reader through the strange universe
looking at things, not really
interacting; Alice is a flat, static character. However, it seems to be that in the new movie she is taking a more active and dynamic role.
on another note, Alan Rickman plays the caterpillar? that's so awesome! I love him!
