reel and real

i watched my third movie for the year last night.  first was i love you, goodbye; second, avatar, both in january.

last night, it was alice in wonderland.  imax.  3D.  with sister and friends.  nice  : )

the story is somewhat different this time.  alice is grown.  there seems a love angle with the mad hatter.  hmmm... they've done that with pocahontas before.  turning pocahontas into an adult with captain john smith becoming a love interest in the movie.  i guess putting in some love really makes for something more interesting ♥

anyway, there were four of us girls who watched the movie but, as far as i was concerned, there seemed a fifth person with us, hahaha.  everytime jabberwocky was mentioned in the movie, this guy kept coming to mind.  i first heard jabbawockeez from him.  he was absent but his presence i managed to feel.  hey, i like that  ; )

something i couldn't say i like though is how things turned out for alice and the hatter.  earlier in the movie, the hatter told alice, "You're always too small or too big."  and then later when she finally was the right size and could have opted to stay (with the hatter), she chose to leave.  ouch!  that is sad.

this is a movie though, there is a hint of a sequel.  i suppose they'll finally end up together there.

if only real life were like that, too...
