Curiouser and curiouser

Alice was finally "real" to me when I saw the movie this evening -- she never was a real person when I read the books as a child - but of course she wasn't 19 then. I was riveted by the unfolding of events and the details of the real/not-real even though the metastory of the Jabberwocky quest didn't add anything other than an excuse for a wham-bam kind of violence that seems to be everywhere these days. But the Cheshire cat was wonderful! He just smiled and disappeared the way he was supposed to!
