alice through the looking glass and what she found there

'But it certainly was funny,' (Alice said afterwards, when she was telling her sister the history of all this,) 'to find myself singing ' Here we go round the mulberry bush. This seemed quite natural (she remembered afterwards), and she was not even surprised to hear music playing: it seemed to come from the tree under which they were dancing, and it was done (as well as she could make it out) by the branches rubbing one across the other, like fiddles and fiddle-sticks. 'The first thing in a visit is to say 'How d'ye do?' and shake hands!' And here the two brothers gave each other a hug, and then they held out the two hands that were free, to shake hands with her.Īlice did not like shaking hands with either of them first, for fear of hurting the other one's feelings so, as the best way out of the difficulty, she took hold of both hands at once: the next moment they were dancing round in a ring. 'Next Boy!' said Alice, passing on to Tweedledee, though she felt quite certain he would only shout out 'Contrariwise!' and so he did. 'Nohow!' Tweedledum cried out briskly, and shut his mouth up again with a snap.

They looked so exactly like a couple of great schoolboys, that Alice couldn't help pointing her finger at Tweedledum, and saying 'First Boy!' Would you tell me, please?'īut the fat little men only looked at each other and grinned. 'I was thinking,' Alice said very politely, 'which is the best way out of this wood: it's getting so dark. 'Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, 'if it was so, it might be and if it were so, it would be: but as it isn't, it ain't. The point, in case you’ve missed it, is that Girls Can Do Anything.'I know what you're thinking about,' said Tweedledum: 'but it isn't so, nohow.' The plot has been junked up with a dumb framing device, hinted at in the earlier movie, that makes Alice the captain of her late father’s ship: In the opening sequence, she bravely guides the vessel through pirate-ridden seas. Mia Wasikowska returns as Alice, only in the movie’s vision, it’s not enough for her to simply slip into the looking-glass universe for some wild adventures. The actors may as well have been zombified and then airlifted onto the set, they appear to have so little interest in being there. James Bobin’s Alice Through the Looking Glass-a sequel to Tim Burton’s mad, cluttered 2010 Alice in Wonderland, featuring much of the same cast-feels like a movie made by committee, a picture with no rhyme, no reason and no real reason for existing other than to cash in on its predecessor’s popularity. Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There is one of the trippiest children’s books ever written, a squiggly bit of tomfoolery made by a highly imaginative individual.
