Blog 17- Movie Time- Sneha Amrit

Tim Burton is a movie director that has many critically acclaimed movies. The two that I have chosen to compare are his 2010 film Alice in Wonderland, and his iconic 1988 horror film Beetlejuice. While I watch Beetlejuice every year in the Halloween season, I kind of forgot that there was a live action version of Alice in Wonderland. Looking back at the two films it becomes obvious that Beetlejuice focused more on the storyline, since it was a new story that people did not know about. Alice in Wonderland however is a tale that most people are familiar with, and while watching it seems as though Burton wanted to put a heavier emphasis on set design and costuming. The costumes and sets were much more intricate in Alice in Wonderland than in Beetlejuice which I guess was fine, but I would have preferred if Burton has instead put a new unique spin on Alice in Wonderland.
