On the surface of the film, it tells the story of a group of children with special abilities hiding in the corridors of time and space, fighting to the death with cannibal mutant monsters for self-preservation. But if you pay attention, you can see that the background of the movie is the killing of Poland by the German Nazis in World War II. In this way, a dark fairy tale wraps a brutal history, mixed with innocence and raging, I think only Tim Burton can contribute such a rich meal.
Tim Burton is my favorite director. His unpleasant childhood life experience has made his labelled personal style. The reality is cut and smashed, and then a dark fairy tale with a special taste is integrated. This movie has a strangely imaginative world, where people freeze time through time circles in this small world, they have the innocence of isolation and the cruelty of being trapped in a small environment for a long time, they can be sweet and lovely and capable Invincible. Then the intrusion of an outsider is both a quest and a rescue.
The final battle between the pros and cons in the movie is very interesting. The little boy leads these magical children along the way according to Miss Pei's instructions. On the one hand, there is a life-and-death fight in the theater, and on the other hand, there is a funny confrontation in the playground. At last the children left by boat, and the little boy embarked on a journey of search again.
The plot is captivating, and Tim Burton's mix of fairy tales and dark reality makes the film a hallmark. So, I was thinking that sometimes when we are watching a movie, we are also watching the world in his heart that the director asked us to see. The confusion and confusion here, whether intentional or natural, give us a chance to rethink a point.
