Looking at Tim Burton again, what I feel is not pale and weird, but his eccentricity and loneliness for ten years. Miss Pei's fantasy castle may be the ideal utopia among eccentric and lonely children. Here is the same special My little friend, has a completely regular schedule, and has a graceful big sister. . . Although isolated from the world, there is no lack of fulfillment and joy.
Although the film has the original book, but as far as the film is concerned, a lot of Tim Burton's style is embedded. The dark gothic style, the black and white worldview, and the connection and thinking between reality and ideal city-state.
What's more interesting is the role of the male protagonist's grandfather. He was originally in the fantasy manor, but he took an opportunity to leave there and returned to the normal course of life, old age, sickness and death.
This character links Tim Burton's private land and the real world, and at the same time, his descendants - the male protagonist, are once again connected to the fantasy manor. This thread comes back and forth, forming a strong contrast between the real world and the fantasy castle. This setting connects reality and fantasy closely, and it may also be mixed with the director's helplessness about the passage of time (the image of the grandfather in the few words always makes me feel listless), which is very good.
The villain's setting is still insane. The setting that likes to eat children's eyes reminds me of the monsters that eat children's hearts and livers that adults used to drink when I was a child. Although their preferences are different, the essence is the same. They all grab the most beautiful things for the sake of Their own selfish desires destroy them.
The setting of eating eyeballs may also have a more intriguing meaning. Children's eyes are pure, they can see things that adults can't see, and they can also explore the real precious beauty from the secular world. But it is such a precious thing, but it is the food of monsters. Monsters get this food and can temporarily maintain their humanoid form. And a child who loses this eye will forever lose the innocence of insight into the world.
Looking further, monsters are outside of time, walking with time, they have the ability to live forever (you don't need to live in a fantasy manor, you have), they don't grow old with time, they actually represent eternity Time of constant motion. So, in other words, time eats away the innocence of a child's insight into the world, isn't that the case in fact?
I disagree with the "it's a Tim Burton-esque X-Men" statement in some reviews. This kind of slogan completely confuses the idea of the film with the American comics. The mutants are more of a metaphor in terms of racial discrimination, which has profound practical significance. And Miss Pei's fantasy manor does not have the setting of strengthening special abilities. He still interprets the magical works of a special world with a more innocent heart. He can awaken some memories of our unfamiliar childhood thoughts.
Although Eva Lorraine is no longer in her youth, she is really graceful and graceful. Personally, I especially like his cool appearance, she is simply too queen. In addition, I personally think that the most eye-catching plot of the film is the battle of the bones operated by the little brother. The ability to command the model to fight is really cool!
