My "Portrait of a Person" assignment is going to be about Charles Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll, who is known worldwide as the author of Alice in Wonderland. In this film I want to explore the romanticized rumors surrounding Dodgson's supposed "pedophilia", and whose intense love for a young girl named Alice originally inspired his famous tale. With intense symbolism and wild visuals, I want to portray the image biographers have painted Dodgson to be--a creative man with an intense but pure passion for young girls, but struggling under the harsh conditions and social regulations of Christian, Victorian society. The film begins with the air of whimsy and innocence, and then spirals into a much darker, struggling vibe. Here are photos of Charles Dodgson and the real life Alice that have inspired the visuals of the film:
