Yesterday I went to see the new Alice in Wonderland or Alice in Underland film. I've never been to a 3D film before and it was different. Objects and characters seemed to fly into the auditorium.
My eldest daughter loved watching Alice in Wonderland videos,but I was never much of a fan. I had an illustrated copy of the book as a child, but much preferred to read Heidi or Little Women.I much preferred the pratical to the whimsical, but have to admit I enjoyd the film.
However, it took me away from the novel I am reading Scapegallows by Carol Birch about the life of Margaret Catchpole, an 18th century woman transported to Australia instead of being hung for stealing a horse.It is an exciting adventure and would make an excellent film.
I enjoyed that book too, sue. i have jsut finished another of Carol Birch's called The Naming of Eliza Quinn. it is set during the irish famine so is very depressing but her narrative voices are superb.
ReplyDeletei went to see Avatar which i enjoyed very much, I'd like to see Alice too and will have to work on 'himself' to take me to see it.
