爱丽丝梦游仙境 Alice In Wonderland 英文影评 review by ROGER EBERT
As a young reader, I found Alice in Wonderland creepy and rather distasteful. Alice's adventures played like a series of encounters with characters whose purpose was to tease, puzzle and torment her. Few children would want to go to wonderland, and none would want to stay. The problem may be that I encountered the book too young and was put off by the alarming John Tenniel illustrations. Why did Alice have such deep, dark eye sockets? Why couldn't Wonderland be cozy like the world of Pooh? Watching the 1951 Disney film, I feared the Cheshire Cat was about to tell me something I didn't want to know.
Tim Burton's new 3-D version of "Alice in Wonderland" answers my childish questions. This has never been a children's story. There's even a little sadism embedded in Carroll's fantasy. It reminds me of uncles who tickle their nieces until they scream. "Alice" plays better as an adult hallucination, which is how Burton rather brilliantly interprets it until a pointless third act flies off the rails. It was a wise idea by Burton and his screenwriter, Linda Woolverton, to devise a reason that Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is now a grown girl in her late teens, revisiting a Wonderland that remains much the same, as fantasy worlds must always do.
Burton is above all a brilliant visual artist, and his film is a pleasure to regard; I look forward to admiring it in 2-D, where it will look brighter and more colorful. No artist who can create these images is enhancing them in any way by adding the annoying third dimension. But never mind that.
He brings to Carroll's characters an appearance as distinctive and original as Tenniel's classic illustrations. These are not retreads of familiar cartoon images. They're grotesques, as they should be, from the hydrocephalic forehead of the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) to Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas), who seem to have been stepped on. Wonderland itself is not limited to necessary props, such as a tree limb for the Cheshire Cat and a hookah for the Caterpillar, but extends indefinitely as an alarming undergrowth beneath a lowering sky. Why you can see the sky from beneath the earth is not a fair question. (The landscape was designed by Robert Stromberg of "Avatar.")
When we meet her again, Alice has decidedly mixed feelings about her original trip down the rabbit hole, but begins to recall Wonderland more favorably as she's threatened with an arranged marriage to Hamish Ascot (Leo Bill), a conceited snot-nose twit. At the moment of truth in the wedding ceremony, she impulsively scampers away to follow another rabbit down another rabbit hole and finds below that she is actually remembered from her previous visit.
Burton shows us Wonderland as a perturbing place where the inhabitants exist for little apparent reason other than to be peculiar and obnoxious. Do they reproduce? Most species seem to have only one member, as if nature quit while she was ahead. The ringleader is the Mad Hatter, played by Johnny Depp, that rare actor who can treat the most bizarre characters with perfect gravity. Whoever he plays (Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, Ichabod Crane), he is that character through and through.
This is a Wonderland that holds perils for Alice, played by Wasikowska with beauty and pluck. The Red Queen wishes her ill, and the White Queen (Anne Hathaway) wishes her well, perhaps because both are formed according to the rules of Wonderland queens. To be sure, the insecure White Queen doesn't exhaust herself in making Alice welcome. The Queens, the Mad Hatter, Alice, the Knave of Hearts (Crispin Glover) and presumably Tweedledee and Tweedledum are versions of humans; the others are animated, voiced with great zest by such as Stephen Fry (Cheshire), Alan Rickman (Absolem the Caterpillar), Michael Sheen (White Rabbit), Christopher Lee (Jabberwocky), Timothy Spall (Bayard) and Barbara Windsor (Dormouse).
The film is enchanting in its mordant way until, unfortunately, it arrives at its third act. Here I must apologize to faithful readers for repeating myself. Time after time I complain when a film develops an intriguing story and then dissolves it in routine and boring action. We've seen every conceivable battle sequence, every duel, all carnage, countless showdowns and all-too-long fights to the finish.
Why does "Alice in Wonderland" have to end with an action sequence? Characters not rich enough? Story run out? Little minds, jazzed by sugar from the candy counter, might get too worked up without it? Or is it that executives, not trusting their artists and timid in the face of real stories, demand an action climax as insurance? Insurance of what? That the story will have a beginning and a middle but nothing so tedious as an ending?
野性的召唤 Call of the Wild 英文影评 review by Justin Felix
It's one of those names still included in literature anthologies to this day. Like many who read this review, I suspect, I had to read some of London's writing as I went through school. My favorite tale of his is a short story about a man trying to survive in extreme elements called To Build a Fire - if you've never read it, it's worth checking out. However, London is best known for two novels, both with animals as lead characters: Call of the Wild and White Fang.
Since London is still a recognizable name (and since his work is in the public domain), it's a no-brainer that various studios over the years have tried to capitalize on his writing. And hence, there's Jack London's Call of the Wild, a 2000 made-for-television production. Like the recently cancelled Dead Zone series, Call of the Wild assumes some of the character names and concepts from the book but otherwise strays from the source material. Surprisingly, it's not that bad.
This version of Call of the Wild follows Miles Challenger, a 15-year-old boy out in the Yukon who becomes enamored with a sled dog named Buck. At the start of the film, Buck is up for auction, and while Miles puts up a feeble bid for the dog, Buck is won by another man, a mail carrier in need of dogs for his sled. Miles lives his mother and stepfather, John Thornton, who debate his future in a similar manner to Luke Skywalker and his Uncle Owen in the original Star Wars. Like Luke, Miles wants to venture off and, in this case, become a guide, but his stepfather wants him in school and worries he's too inexperienced for the dangers of leading others through the hostile and cold environment. The first half of the movie interweaves Buck and Miles's stories before they inevitably cross paths again. In the second half, Buck becomes the lead sled dog for a couple of inexperienced travelers who then hire Miles as their guide. These characters' tale of survival in the wilderness becomes the central plot for the remainder of the film.
While Call of the Wild never really rises above television quality, for what it is, it's entertaining. The story is paced well - although it's pretty obvious where things are headed. The actors are professional, and scenes are punctuated by some nice-looking wilderness shots (the movie was shot in Vancouver). It's a shame this was made in full screen rather than widescreen as the locations are beautiful. The score is whimsical and melodramatic, and seems out of place at times. However, it doesn't overwhelm.
Allumination Filmworks, distributor of this DVD, emphasizes the "family-friendly" quality of this product, and I would agree to a certain point. This is fairly inoffensive stuff, but I do think really little ones might be disturbed by a couple scenes involving dog fights. The characters also come across a man and his sled team frozen dead. So, parents of the very young might want to be present while watching this. The DVD's cover art states an approximate 120 minute runtime, but the feature actually runs 1:35:59. They're probably going by how long this would have run on commercial television with all commercials included.
In sum, Jack London fans may bristle at the radical departure from the novel's storyline, but as a made-for-television movie about dogs and a young boy's coming-of-age, this isn't bad. Rent it.
