The review
Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow made the first Alice picture in 1903, and only part of it survives. Alice follows the rabbit. A child can watch what is left. It is a sketch of the book. If someone here says they want Alice, they usually mean a later feature, and that is a different night.
I am glad a child can see the fragment without a fuss. I am not glad if we pretend the surviving sketch is the story we already know by heart. Put on what remains, say it is not the 1951 film and not a later feature, and go back to the book if the rabbit still has them.
Journal
Keep Alice in Wonderland in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 33. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Beetlejuice
45 instead of 33
Beetlejuice is still a fantasy film, and it scores 45 instead of 33. What you gain is industry: They are learning a craft of haunting, badly.
The eight
- 2Industry
Hepworth and Stow filmed a sketch; Alice has no job in it.
- 4Household
Alice is a child after a rabbit, not a household you live in.
- 2Piety
Following the rabbit is curiosity, not a conscience at work.
- 3Courage
She follows the rabbit, a small risk inside a short sketch.
- 1Republic
No law, town, or neighbor is owed anything in the fragment.
- 5Temperance
A child can watch what survives; it does not hawk a sequel.
- 5Truth
Part survives, and the reel is a sketch, not the whole book.
- 4Stewardship
What remains is a fragment of the first Alice, not a feature.
