Jan Svankmajer's Alice - Bonecreatures

[princessgrapefruit1]

I'm sorry, it may be part of the fun for everyone else, but I am going to get really fucking noted if I have to listen to that voice over constantly.

[adrianbenitez30]

i remember my dad rented this movie and i thought it was going to be the shit b/c he said it was a dark creepy version of alive...so i watched it but got bored midway through :P

idk, it was just really slow but i like the creepyness and style of the animation

[elltell1990]

5:16: Heeeeere's Johnny!

5:21: Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

A Shining and a Monty Python reference back to back. Jan Svankmajer had taste.

[anavrinEvelina]

creepy º__º

[foodluvr97]

really nice. I didnt full understand it, if their was supposed to be subtle messages or sumtin, but it was great

[uhltron]

Actually, most of the modern creations associated with the works of lewis carroll are delightfully disturbing. With variations of extreme although i must agree that tim burton's works seem too familiar but they have their place. It's kind of of like the difference between Edison and Tesla. Edison was more popular but Tesla was the absolute genius who's controvesial ideas where not as readily accepted but he was not forgotten.

[CarnageRules02]

This is somehow creepier than "Alice Madness Returns" and "American Mcglee's Alice"

[Arusiek90]

Scary shit.

[Knoxvicious]

@PureYaoiHD

That's not good...

[Tavener88]

this is infinitely scarier for everything being actually material objects and not CG. real presence is makes it so much more frightening, even while it is amazing and fascinating too. poor alice

[XperfectdazesX]

That's way creepy...and way cool.

[Profmcluis]

insane + genious= Svankmajer

[coffeeexmachina]

I think you guys are possibly making this more than what it is. It's strange and creepy entertainment, not a statement about our personal reality. Just enjoy it for what it is.

Before you disagree, see what Ernest Hemingway said about the people who found meaning in 'The Old Man and the Sea.'

[JTeamjesters]

The bunny has given me nightmares  o:

[Dubonjierugi]

The first time I saw this movie, I was fucked up. My friend and I were watching it on netflix and I was just freaking the fuck out.

[Dubonjierugi]

Dude, the first time my friend showed this to me, we were fucked up. We went to netflix and watched it. I was freaking the fuck out.

[123spasser123]

wow ... nightmare

[NicoleMaggot]

Yes, Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic. My home. No Russia. How dare you.

[sweetpsych0sis]

@NicoleMaggot

The way you wrote that sounds like someone trying to do an Eastern European accent, badly. Also it says you live in the US on your profile. Odd.

[NicoleMaggot]

@sweetpsych0sis Haha, I don't have to try, can do 'Eastern European' accent quite well. What I find odd, is that you believe everything people say about themselves on the Internet ;)

[rockas58]

@AyaneZen de checoslovaquia para ser más precisos ; )

[animekitten789]

odd... but it has a sort of animosity and heart that isn't in both disney and tim burton's films.

[TheAliceSisters]

This is so WONDERFUL.

[locomax34]

de que pais es? es Ruso?

[AyaneZen]

@locomax34 es de Republica Checa

[JonathanAFuentes]

Does anyone else think of Jack from The Shining when the bunny tears down the door and sticks his head in to look through?

[rabsmiff]

bizarre film........but good stuff.

[coralin378]

Cool :)

[bigCave83]

Im so in love in this movie i think everyone should see it . If you want its online at AliceWonderlandWatch[dot]info

[Souffrage]

better than the crap of a burton for sure

[TheAliceSisters]

@Souffrage

WELL SAID! Waaay better than Burton's version. His version was OK, but the whole movie was just empty. They thought that if they blended Tim Burton, Alice In Wonderland, Johnny Dep, lots of colorful costumes and 3-D everyone would just love it. The only good thing (To me) was that it showed that you don't have to be a little girl to be The Alice. =)

[mdalsted]

@Souffrage Tim Burton's film actually wasn't meant to be that scary. It was targeted towards kids, for crying out loud.

[SaryEvans]

wow

se ve excelente, devo verla entera!!

[ashflower]

Times like this I am glad I have never done acid.

[Ultrasecond]

Probably the most frightening part of the film. I saw this when I was eleven years old too!

[Ultrasecond]

5:17 "HEEEERE'S BUNNY"

[JTeamjesters]

@Ultrasecond haha we were watching this for our Topics in Film class, and we totally related that scene to The Shining. Added your quote too LMAO XD

[faith8thot]

Could you help me ? I have to study this film too... Give ideas ! =) Why do you think this extract is related to The Shining ?

[JTeamjesters]

@faith8thot well we didn't quite relate it as a part of the class assignment but jokingly (someone just put it out there and we agreed for one particular moment when that rabbit looks through that door lol). But in one way if it has to relate to the Shining, this film is all about childsplay where anything out of the normal lifestyle can happen. You see a child's projection of control over an imaginary world but also she starts to loose that control when she gets lost in it. ---cont

[JTeamjesters]

@faith8thot --continued) The shining was a bit similar with Jack losing and gaining control over a violent mad world that is outside the laws of society. If you have to study this film, think of how the alice learns about herself from the toys and her own actions; if she grows in the process and how it relates to the "adult world". I highly suggest you read "On Longing" by Susan Stewart" or excerpts from it where she talks about the world of the miniature, gigantic etc. Hope that helps :)

[ali0tis]

we agree re: pbs, thx 4 posting!

[FelixDembinski]

I used to play with strange things to. I still do but I'm only 12.
