seem to prefer relatively little time to see this type of film. a few years ago is a favorite of director Wong Kar-wai. Ang Lee's films have people admire and look forward to even criticized by Chen director. still because a < Farewell My Concubine>, I am convinced that he is still at the top of the mainland literary film, which is unsurpassed. We use one person to judge the film, and it often depends on the director. Often the starring is the biggest highlight of the film, but the director is its biggest creator .When we feel that a movie surpasses its predecessors in a perfect posture, we are more willing to believe that the director gives it the senses and soul.
However, when the talented director encounters a genius actor, the century collision illuminates the hearts of a generation of movie fans. I am willing to believe that there is a saying that the past life is destined. Tim Burton and Jonney Depp, who have achieved each other, hit the heart with a clear sword gesture. Since the beginning of Burton, they have known what color Goth is.
When it was rumored that Todd, a century-old hairdresser, was spotted by Burton, the only thing we could believe was the unveiling of an unprecedented gothic drama. It is almost certain that Burton will burn all of Todd from his most character perspective. And from the very beginning, DEPP's anger and murderous intent when it was impossible to hide its dark eyes were swearing that this was an unsympathetic war. If there was a glimmer of hope in my heart, the expectation of generosity and warmth, it must be Helena's moments of indulgent fantasies, one of her brows, a trace of helpless expression, until the time when TODD was thrown into the crematorium. I had expected it.
Of course, if HELENA is more beautiful. Be more charming. Be brighter. We can even fantasize about a prince and princess in the end. DEPP is as handsome and evil as Satan under Burton. Does HELENA love him? Like a mother, she tried to make plans for him and tolerated everything, and risked the world for him. It was not that she had never thought about the ending, and it was not that she had not given TODD room for thinking. After all, facing the first person to be killed, she indifferently found the wallet from the body and put it in her chest. It seems that it's just that, that's it. The cheapness of life is that it has nothing to do with itself, and it doesn't even have any value for use. Of course, HELENA knew what she was doing till death. TODD pushes itself to destruction step by step in the self-catching of murder.
He completely hated human nature and then lost himself, sinking into hatred and spreading revenge to the crowd. What HELENA has done seems to be to please him unconditionally. It should be said that few people pay attention to HELENA's occasional seemingly self-talking. No one knows that although she is not beautiful, she still has a trace of kindness after all. The hope in her heart is so humble that she is even ignored by TODD. In TODD's words, they just got what they needed, but she never gave up. It is undeniable that HELENA is unique and has its own flavor. She is even smart and solved the problem of the corpse with a seemingly perfect solution. If there is a difference between her and TODD, one is on the 17th floor of hell and the other is on the 18th floor. If a person from the 17th floor of hell stretches out his hand to save the 18th floor. What will be the result.
Of course, she was cast aside after all. TOBY's abnormal love for her suddenly made people appreciate the kindness of HELENA. Does she know that the crazy woman who has been begging is TODD's unforgettable wife? It is true that TODD's heart, if Wanzai Hanbing, disgusts her from his bones, and makes people feel a little sympathy for this woman.
The sadness in those large areas of bloody red, gray and bleak colors. Pulling people back from Jiutianyun time and time again, facing the dripping blood, throwing the corpse without emotion. Changing to Quentin Tarantino will be a luxurious feast of blood. BURDON shows bloody cruelty in a perfect gray tone. Dark red seems to cover the entire film from unknown places. But you can't find it.
When the soul loses its redemptive instinct. He will no longer give himself any chance to recover from the darkness. God let TODD die well, let him die with his wife in his arms. It is the ultimate kindness. Until the horror of HELENA's teeth and claws in the ashes showed up. Finally, he realized that he was really unsympathetic. Not tender at all. Although the fantasy of a beautiful life is so lovely, and despite TODD's handsome face, his salvation turned out to be the defiled angel after all.
If the devil is destined to fall in love with the angel. So the beautiful Joanna is like a lady in oil painting. I have to mention the glass used by the director. It is transparent as if there is nothing. The person hiding behind cuts through the transparent sight and kills with his eyes. But I didn't know that I was also unobstructed. So when I asked if TODD and HELENA would be discovered in the middle, it was really disappointing. But it's just such a straightforward evil with only a layer of glass. It seems to faintly reveal the unbreakable and unspeakable estrangement between people. People focus on their own lives, and they never think that the devil is by their side. It is also showing the stage play layout and scene skills.
And TODD's singing went from the initial run-down and depression with murderous vigor to the final twists and turns with hidden magic. DEPP's distinctive way of reading words was concealed and strengthened by its excellent vocal skills, and finally broke out. Its evil nature is exerted to its limit, and its charm is beyond ordinary people to stop.
There are many people in this world who can only be redeemed by death before God. TODD must be one of them. And those who have fallen, no one can save them except themselves.
