I watched this film because of the old news, and the second is to appreciate Christina Ricci's acting performance as an adult. After watching it, I found that it was a bloody fantasy thriller without much nutrition and plot. The plot was on the same level as Cage's "Witch Season". But I have to say that the special effects of 1999 are considered top-notch, and I think it is at the same level as the "The Matrix One" of the same year.

The whole film took place in New York City in 1799. Depp was sent to the Valley of the Dead to investigate three cases of deadheads (a pair of father and son and a widow). 1. Heard a legend: a Hessian mercenary was sent by the German king to keep the Americans under British rule, killing countless people, and finally beheaded by his own sword in the valley of the dead end. Recently, his grievances persisted, resulting in these three murders. 2. Five cases: Another person was killed in the forest. The victim's son Maas volunteered to join Depp. Later, the prosecutor told him that there were actually four coffins and five corpses: the widow who was killed was pregnant. 3. The headless horseman: watch the headless horseman kill the sheriff and take his head with his own eyes. Later, through the prophet, he knew that he was going to find the dead tree and found the human head in the tree. He also admitted the existence of the headless horseman from the plot. 4. Clarify the conspiracy: In fact, prominent people are fighting for property, using spells to manipulate the headless knight to kill. 5. The final incident: The headless horseman killed Katrina's father. Katrina was overwhelmed and fainted. Depp finally realized that Katrina's stepmother was the murderer, rescued Katrina, and at the last minute returned the knight's head to save him. Trivia: A very cute red crested bird appeared in it, and it became a bond between the male and female masters.

    Except for the bloody scene, it has all the things I like. The reason for this murder is too far-fetched, and it is far-fetched to catch up with Conan.

    The tone and atmosphere have reached a level, but in order to show that the memory of the protagonist fluctuating between science and religion is tasteless, Burton's little cleverness is too easy to ignore. The biggest success of this film is that it is unique for a film around this theme (the Headless Horseman), and it is still excellent.
