"Zombie Bride", and those soft loves

The moon has risen from the forest of thorns. The moonlight shone softly and warmly on the cold ground, so Emily did not feel doomed. She saw the bright moon and the countless blue, transparent and beautiful creatures flying over her head. Through them, she could see the beautiful light still floating in the cold world. Their voices are harmonious music, but they are so ethereal that the human ear cannot hear them, just as the eyes on the ground cannot see them. They fluttered their wings, and their light bodies floated in the air. Emily felt that she had acquired them, and gradually rose from the hard ground...



I don't know how to describe it except with the help of Andersen's magic pen. such a picture. Two equally kind and clean women sacrificed their souls to become beautiful elves, bringing a ray of light to the cold world. Different styles convey similar artistic conception, the eternity of love and soul.



People are like their voices. As a member of the pale world, the cowardly Victor is weak and unique, like the mundane and bland chapters he plays in Victoria's home. He belongs to this world and not to this world, and when he plays his note at the piano, two people who are not in harmony with that world fall in love; when he plays his note with Emily, the two A person who does not belong to a world fell in love. All the time, he has no real choice, his love is soft.



People are like their shape. As a member of the pale world, delicate Victoria is weak and unique. She was powerless to resist or make a choice, she just swayed, waiting for the arrangement of fate and looking forward to a miracle. Her destiny is soft, and her love has to be soft.



People are like their hearts. As someone from outside the pale world, kind Emily is beautiful and unique. She was so persistent that it was almost stupid, and she was so innocent that it was almost childish. It is because of all this that her beauty is created and people's sympathy for subverting traditional aesthetics is created. A heart, subvert a pale world. Her love was supposed to be the strongest and the strongest, and only the softest in the world can gallop the strongest in the world, sacrifice herself, and complete a love. When I think of such a woman emotionally, I can't help but feel sour and warm, to pay homage to such a soft love and heart.







Tim Burton's Zombie Bride is built on two worlds - the dark and gloomy world of the living and the colorful world of the dead. In the film, these two worlds are also called "Upstairs" and "Downstairs", "Upstairs" & "Downstairs". In British English, these two words stand for "the upper class above the middle class" and "the rest of the lower class", and the film explains them without shyness. Judging from the character setting and environment, the film's time is generally the Victorian era in the United Kingdom. Most people are dogmatic and restrained. Men in the upper class wear tuxedos meticulously, while women are demanding that their corsets be tighter and tighter. The other world is very different, full of modernity, which is the temperament of our time now - liberating, natural, radiant, full of Tim Burton-esque beauty. Nonetheless, the film's praise contains shallow questions about the world and the future, because after all, this is a world of the dead.



This is "Zombie Bride" brought by Tim Burton, who directed "Edward Scissorhands", "Sleepy Hollow", "Big Fish" and other relatively independent and thought-provoking films. In fact, in 1993, Tim Burton compiled "The Nightmare Before Christmas" with a similar style. At that time, it took two years to complete it by means of physical shooting. Today, when CG technology is becoming more and more mature, "Zombie Bride", which pursues the unique effect of the film, still adopts the means of physical shooting and computer synthesis. The staff sets up the action frame by frame, the Canon camera shoots frame by frame, and finally the computer synthesizes the background sound of the action.



During filming, the crew made 200 very cute and cool figures, including 14 Victor, 14 Zombie Brides and 13 Victoria. The detachable heads of the dolls are made more, and there are more than 400 of them in Victor alone, and a mechanical device can be installed in the doll head the size of a finger to control the speech and actions of the doll. It made me feel itchy, and I really wanted to put such a set up at home. But these things are relatively expensive, because the production process is very time-consuming, energy-consuming and inspirational, especially in the production of "living world" characters, it is necessary to design a low-color and low-quality appearance, and to outline the details Since the character's personality and the theme appear on the surface, I think the price of such a doll should be more than 500 US dollars, and this kind of doll that has been filmed is probably more expensive. Just like a Chinese idiom "painting ghosts is the easiest", it is much easier to make "dead people" with no fixed shape and bright colors.
