Tim Burton is a director with a distinctive style, and his works have unique labels. For example, I like to show festival scenes and often pay attention to people who are misunderstood and abandoned. Clowns often appear in the film. They like black humor. They have a mysterious style or supernatural phenomenon. The visual elements are unique and weird. They also like to use similar techniques in many films. Also appeared in "Big Fish".
In order to visualize the concept of literature, the director and screenwriter intertwined the two story lines of the old Edward’s young adventure story and the reporter’s son’s efforts to find the true life of his father in a flashback fashion. These bizarre stories seem to be isolated from the narrator and his family. Existing, dazzling stories are interspersed with boring reality, a picture of "magic realism" that touches the real world in a surreal way.
The film is not only a dazzling fantasia, but also a lyrical family drama. Compared with Tim Burton’s previous works, it is more emotional, a visually stylized dramatic story, focusing on the character’s desire to create a personal history. This is a story about love, including mutual loyal love and family affection that eventually bridges the gap. The film is also full of fantasy, but it does not use many computer special effects. Most of the surreal scenes are completed by splitting the screen, reducing the props, using lights, angles, and depth of field, and have the classic "" technology.
