Tim Burton is Tim Burton, a person who is good at telling fairy tales.
Very dark and very warm.
The reason why a fairy tale is a fairy tale is that it has not necessarily perfect but certain beautiful endings, not necessarily realistic but certain cliché endings, princes and princesses, heroes and beauties, or geniuses and beauties.
In fact, fairy tales can be dark, the process can be violent or even bloody, but fairy tales must be the victory of justice over evil or the end of a lover.
Because fairy tales are for children.
In fact, in retrospect, many of the Grimm's fairy tales I read as a child were dark and bloody. A story is often full of countless brutal tortures in the Middle Ages, and plots of burning witches are everywhere. But because I was young and ignorant at that time, I didn't find it difficult to accept. As a curious child, all we care about is the ending. Every fairy tale has a happy ending, whether it's Grimm or Andersen.
Speaking of which, I have seen the original Grimm's fairy tales, which are 10,000 times bloodier than the ones I read as a child, even Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, but the endings of all the stories are the same. Fairy tales don't allow evil to succeed in the end, nor do they allow the little princess to be burnt to death before she completes the last feather coat for the prince who turns into a swan, otherwise it's not a fairy tale.
Well, whether it's big fish, or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or this Corpse Bride, it's Tim Burton's beautiful fairy tale. The fairy tale is over, turn off the lights, it's time to go to bed.
PS: Victor puppets are indeed similar to Johnny Depp. In addition, the Brothers Grimm did not ask Depp to be the protagonist, which is one of the reasons why it became a bad movie. When did I become a fan of Depp? Probably with Al Pacino's Donnie Brasco (faithful traitor). And now that kids are going to see Harry Porter, who cares about dusty classic fairy tales.
