      What the hell? The scariest part of the whole film turned out to be the title?

      Although it was a 1988 film, I was very surprised by the character modeling and setting of the whole play!

      The most memorable scene is the two couples walking through a twisted path in the all-blue space, which is weird and full of beauty!

      Although the plot is relatively old-fashioned, each character in the play is portrayed with its own characteristics. For example, the two couples are weak and kind, but the seemingly gothic little loli is very gentle, the stepmother is...

      Tim Burton's Fantasy World

      Mother Earth’s films of the last century are really impeccable. Although they are rough in shape, they are incredibly cute. The actors have exaggerated performance skills. Stories with big brain holes, all kinds of things that people can meet after death, all kinds of strange and funny rules, and a sudden sense of horror. Isn't this the same as not dead?

      Personally, I like the character of Worm Juice the most. It is humorous and funny. It doesn't describe his story too much, but it...

      Quotations

      Staying at home for two weeks, this is the perfect vacation!

      Home is the warmest place.

      "Maybe this is heaven."
      "Heaven will not be dusty everywhere."

      We are already dead, and I don't think we have anything to worry about.

      "Otto, why don't you come in through the front door?"
      "That will bring bad luck."

      If you don't let me redecorate the house and make it my style, I will go crazy and make you crazy too. !

      If you...

      Beetlejuice turned into Batman

      1988 American film "Beetlejuice" "The Master of the Underworld": Tim Burton's very early work, as I judged him, the various imaginations of ghosts and talents are displayed in the roughest way, bad taste, comedy Whether it is genius or not, all his classic works afterwards can be found in this movie. The sense of design in the movie is outstanding in the 1980s when B-level movies were rampant. The only regret is that the scale is not large enough. What's interesting is that Michael Keaton,...

      On how to be a qualified ghost-Tim Burton

      I have watched many movies and seen ghosts under the guidance of various directors, but I am the only one who fell in love with these ghosts of Tim Burton. Each ghost is unique. People may have many ways to die, some cut their veins to commit suicide, some jumped into the river to commit suicide, and some accidentally left the world like this. Just like the protagonist and heroine of this film, they were originally on a happy vacation but accidentally fell into the river and died. Life...

      A cult film full of bad taste, the combination of a ghost couple and a weird family may be because the world view and character setting are too interesting, and the dramatic conflict created by this sense of gap is a home that can never get out of the house; dead people don't like to watch it, And the manual of the dead world that the living can read; the kind of crazy idea that children may not be afraid of, "I'm not afraid of sheets"; and crazy villain settings; There seems to be an...
