The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus
This film by Terry Gilliam who gave us "12 Monkeys" many years back, was nominated for 2 Oscars, won 2 awards & had 10 nominations! :)I personally find this movie remarkably & amazingly magical, in fact, dream-like, and more like a fantasy joy ride.. :)
It's like walking on a thin line drawn between the convenient real world & the imaginary absurd..
Terry Gilliam never fails to lure us into his wildest fantasies & his fantastic visual imagination..
His wild inventions in character, costumes and CGI effects are accounted for by a plot that requires revolving worlds..
A bit of changes, were made necessary in the plot by the death of Heath Ledger halfway into the filming, but the plot itself I believe was in place from the first.
I really love the gypsy feel in this movie made as much as I love the gypsy feel to some movies..
On the whole, Terry Gilliam remains as indulgent as ever, but The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus represents a return to the intoxicatingly imaginative, darkly beautiful power of his earlier work, with fine performances to match all the visual spectacle.
It's a beautiful glorious mess of an artwork! ;)
Alice in Wonderland
Ooh! What can I say but I LOVE THIS MOVIE!.. As much as I adore all Tim Burton's works! :)Tim Burton is one of my all-time favourite directors! :)
The guy's a genius! :)
This film, in addition to being Burton's most financially-successful film, it is currently the highest grossing film of 2010 as well as the sixth highest-grossing film of all time! :)
I believe this movie (by its title) needs no further introduction.. ;)
Most adults and children, somewhere and sometime in their lives, would all have heard of this very familiar childhood novel by Lewis Carroll which has now been made into a 2010 fantasy adventure film directed by Tim Burton, written by Linda Woolverton, and starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Michael Sheen and Stephen Fry and released by Walt Disney Pictures.
It is an extension of Lewis Carroll's novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
The film uses a technique of combining live action and animation.
