, of course he has a lot of other famous movies, but just presented three works have this in common: fantasy, dark, Johnny Depp.
Comments on the works
last 5:52 of black and white animated short —— "Vincent" is similar in style to the film just given, but the content is more oppressive~~ Compared with this film, the works listed just now can only be regarded as a dark skin that hides the "truth, goodness and beauty", "Vincent" is only It’s the real psychiatric aesthetics
that refines this short film with one word, that is, "Edgar Allan Poe", the same exquisite and full of poetry, the same collection of symbolism / Gothic / whimsical ~ ~ The
film tells He has a unique 7-year-old child, Vincent Malloy, who is no different from others on the surface, but has a strange personality~~~ He has a paranoid pursuit of beauty, and imagines that he is like Dr. Hyde wandering in the thick fog of London. Weird people, hunt down all disgusting things and let them die in fear. Other children read children’s books, but he fell in love with Poe, falling in love with the woman in the portrait, and Yusheng was a knight. Garden~~~Vincent’s mother put him in a dark room to punish her son~~~ He felt that everything he opposed had begun to counteract himself in the dark, so he was scared to death by his own fantasies
. The end of the short film quoted Poe’s poems. In the last sentence of "The Raven", the story also draws on the content of "The Raven". In that poem, the protagonist is in the confrontation between the two moods of'beginning a new life' and'mourning for the dead lover' In the end, mourning occupies the top, and the protagonist dies due to grief~~ Unlike other works, "The Crow" and "Vincent" express the different moods of people as similar to split personalities, and use a mood as the main body of the narrative. , Different moods are incompatible with each other, and the tragic ending is the consequence of confrontation.
Take "The Crow" as an example to explain how the special narrative method completes the reinterpretation of the classic theme: the classic narrative method will tell how the protagonist sinks in grief, cannot start a new life, and finally die; while the new method is 'Sorrow' is like a demon destroying'new life'. The whole work uses'new life' as the protagonist to express that death is the result of ineffective struggle after a process full of fear, rather than sadness itself
except for the content. There are similar expressions. The same is the style of poetry. The narration of "Vincent" is a 60-line poem, rhyming, and it is easy to read~~ But its purpose is different from "The Crow", so it does not have a strict meaning. The literary beauty of the above may be more appropriate to say that it is a limerick.
As an animated short film, content, language, and screen are inseparable. Tim Burton is an artist who pays attention to effects. Gray colors, Gothic stories, decadent pictures, and Poe-like poems have formed an atmosphere together, and one factor will not work.
Vincent’s styling can be said to be the image that Tim Burton has been using since then. It is exactly the same as the male protagonist in "Zombie Bride", with a carrot-style face; the beautiful lady in the portrait and the fat aunt who does not show her face can all be used in "Zombie Bride". "Find the corresponding. Johnny Depp has repeatedly cooperated with Tim because of his melancholy and complicated temperament.
Another character related to the short film is Vincent Price, that is, the little boy Vincent fantasizes about himself. He is an American film actor and his works are mainly horror movies.
