This Beautiful Fantastic (2016)
Rip-off
I grew up watching The Secret Garden (1993), and I don't see much difference other than time period. Bella is Mary Lennox, Vernon is Dicken, Bramble is Martha, Alfie is Lord Craven.
Wonderstruck (2017)
You love it or you hate it
We all know that no 12-year-old, deaf or hearing, is smart enough to get around like that, but we can always watch magic collide with real life.
I like the dual-time narrative. Very creative. The ending was predictable, but still emotional and wonderful.
It figuratively reminds us that children are curious by nature, hence the title 'Wonderstruck'; As i like to say 'curiousity called the kid'.
The Book of Life (2014)
Funny
It kind of spoofs the bible in a way. There is a character much like the Christian god with his occupation and one like the devil, and places parallel to heaven and hell. But it seems they switch behaviors and personalities this time and it was hilarious. At the same time, most of the other main characters have no parallel, so there is a bit of original pieces, too. I do admit that it might be hard, at least it was for me, to not focus on these parallels. That was my only problem with it, though, and the characters still made me laugh like crazy. I had trouble stopping the laugh too. I am sure i will be dreaming tonight and I am also pretty sure it wont be a nightmare. I don't think this is Oscar winning work, but its still good.
