Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)
In the minority because as many critics fail to see there is a good plot to through the looking glass!
First of all I was hesitant to watch through the looking glass partly because of bad reviews but mostly because my favorite director Tim Burton didn't direct this movie. I finally watched through the looking glass and I was pleasantly surprised! Beautiful graphics and visuals and a touching plot about the importance of not taking those you love for granted...and not taking time for granted. This movie shows how we all learn from our pasts and that we cannot and should not want to change the past. It seems a majority of the critics could not put two and two together to understand or appreciate the message this film conveyed. Shame on you critics ... curiouser and curiouser. ..why half of you can't comprehend. Maybe lacking neurons and brain cells ? Wonderful job done by the actors and actresses as well as the director trying to add some spice to a worldly well written classic by respected author Lewis Carroll
The Great Gatsby (2013)
Absolutely speaks to the heart of truth and humanity!
For starters I have always loved Luhrmann's work. He has a unique sense of style and isn't afraid to go off the beaten one track mind set. I have watched the original movie and read the novel. By far I think Luhrmann's version of Gatsby is much more engaging and offers more finesse.The philosophy behind the film rang with truth and the characters were well developed. There were deeply inspirational moments and the lifestyle during that time era was captured well. A beautiful film for audiences of all ages, anyone who is not socially inept will end up feeling deep empathy for Gatsby and Nick Carraway.If you want a beautifully engaging, lavish movie with heart, then go see this film and keep an open mind. If you don't want a film with heart then just stay home and watch The Hangover.
