In fact, if you talk about Tim Burton, if you look at his films at first glance, you will feel very gorgeous and strange, but from the perspective of each section, you will feel a little grandiose. Some make gorgeous feelings for the sake of gorgeousness, such as "Alice in Wonderland", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and "Sweeney Todd". There are some suspicions of color and lens beyond the story. I feel that from the story, there is no need to be so gorgeous. The lens is also ok, but more gorgeous than it is a bit blinding. In "Big Fish" and "Battle of the Apes", there are superhuman features in the storytelling, but there are also some peeling off the coat of the story, and the core content is actually not very deep. Even the beloved "Edward Scissorhands" has such a suspicion, but the love story makes people less demanding. Of course, this is not to belittle Tim Burton. No matter how you look at it, his unique style is amazing. But as far as the status of the master is concerned, for now, he seems to have some distance. Or, continue to look forward to his more progressive works. Or, while waiting for him to grow old, no one can keep up with him and no one can surpass him. Until then, he can become a true master.
But for "Drifthead Valley", although it is not the most prominent one in Tim Burton's resume. But I think it is the one that shows his style most. The bizarre image style and the dark and dark story are perfectly blended together. The picture is no longer gorgeous and gorgeous, but exists solely for the story. Unlike Tim Burton's latest films, it seems that the color of the image can be separated from the story and put forward separately.
"Dropped Hollow" is adapted from the classic novel "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", with the original wonderful story at the bottom. Tim Burton only needs to give full play to his usual lens language. That being said, there is also a suspicion of belittling the film. It seems that Tim Burton has no strengths, just a good script. But it’s better not to be harsh. Compare and appreciate the movie. The good is the good. It is useless to say that the bad is good. The strange mirror language of Gothic, as well as the cold and stern narrative style, coupled with the slightly nervous, anxious and neurotic interpretation of Johnny Depp, and of course Tim Burton’s first-class control ability, work together to make The film is quite good-looking.
Compared with Chinese horror films, this is a real horror film. Speaking of China’s screenwriters, it is stipulated that ghost movies can be edited, but in the end there must be no ghosts, only ghosts in the heart. This is really funny, so you can only watch ghost movies from abroad, and the introduction of genuine copies is rare, so you have to watch pirated copies. Therefore, the proliferation of piracy in China is not only the lack of quality of the audience, but also the helplessness. This is a long story. Back to "Guillotine Valley", the real ghost film. In a small remote valley, there is a big tree under which there is a headless horseman. If anyone disturbs him, then he will definitely come and chop off your head at night. And it's absolutely directional and won't kill randomly, but if you have to block his way, it's not embarrassing, he will feel that you are looking for death, and then by the way it will fulfill you. The bewitched headless knight started killing in the small town. How to find the truth to stop the headless knight's killing became the main line of the story. The detective played by Johnny Depp is the one who is responsible for investigating the truth. Thus, small towns, valleys, killings, headless people, and martial arts, all confusing and confusing, constitute a very good-looking movie.
Over time, when talking about Tim Burton, the first thing that is remembered is "Edward Scissorhands" and his consistent Gothic style. For different audiences, except for "Scissorhands" Apart from "Edward", there are not many films that I think of again. Edward is because of the eternal love theme. Although it is good, it should be "Dropped Head" that should be remembered.
