"Frankenstein" is a typical Burton movie in terms of story, character setting, movie style, etc., and fully conforms to the style mentioned above. The black and white image style, the little boy's name "Frankenstein", the weird teacher, the pet cemetery in the thunderstorm night, the mutant monsters in scientific experiments... This is a dark cartoon. In fact, as early as the 1980s, Bolton had already shot an animated short film of the same name, but it was banned because it was not suitable for children to watch. This 12-year-old work was just an expansion and adaptation based on the 29-minute original work, and the environment changed. Make this work accessible to a wider audience and gain more recognition.
The style of Burton's films is inseparable from, or closely related to, the environment in which he grew up. Like the little boy Victor Frankenstein in the film, Bolton had an autistic childhood. He didn't have many friends and was not gregarious. He was just immersed in his own imagination and dreaming every day. Maybe he knew about Franklin Kite After the experiment, he also fantasized about the wonderful application of electricity. He may also be saddened by the death of a dog that accompanied him. He may also have done many weird scientific experiments... And movies such as "Frankenstein" may be A continuation of Bolton's bizarre dreams and nightmares.
Tim Burton's dark Gothic story is put on Disney's cloak. The cooperation of the two complements each other and brings the best of both worlds, creating a warm and cruel, strange and gorgeous world for us, so we have Science geeks with Disney images such as "Turtle Sla", "Batcat" and "Little Giant" also have a festive "Happy Reunion" ending, and finally, there are beautiful and sweet songs.
It remains to be seen whether Bolton Jianglang is exhausted...
