Aldous Huxley’s version of the Disney “Alice” (2020)
- defrost 4y agoAs interesting as the surviving fragments of the Disney side of this project are, the greater loss > Unfortunately, a massive fire in 1961 destroyed more than four thousand of Huxley’s annotated books and documents, including his involvement on the Alice project came as news I was sad to hear for the first time.
- germinalphrase 4y agoI feel the same way. What a loss.
- frozenport 4y agoWow, it's terrible and hard to follow. The conflict seems to involve an academic quarrel with no obvious reason it would get resolved at the anti-climax. Is this a joke?
- codeflo 4y agoYou’re reading someone’s summary of Huxley’s synopsis. I think it’s safe to assume that the full screenplay would have given more context.
- Geonode 4y agoIt reads very much like an English comedy of manners / Oscar Wilde piece, where status and social structure set up the problems and comedy.
- frozenport 4y agoIndeed, thats why it ages so poorly. Compare that to something like Brave New World.
