Really can't resist these two people, since the first collaboration in the classic 1990 film "Edward Scissorhands", "Sleepy Hollow", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Sweeney Todd", "Alice in Wonderland" , Tim Burton, who has been persistent for more than 20 years, has always insisted on his own style, and stubbornly vowed to carry out the gothic and cold humor to the end. During this period, flowers and clubs were with each other, and the box office revenue also rose and fell, regardless of the outside world. How to evaluate this great director, his loyal comrade-in-arms Johnny Depp is always by his side. Compared with the young man more than 20 years ago, Johnny Depp is now Hollywood's premier superstar , and once ranked first in the income list of Hollywood male stars, but as long as Tim Burton sends an invitation, Johnny Depp must be persistent, and even Johnny Depp once said: As long as Tim Burton sends an invitation Burton needs him, and he's bound to be in his movies. In a circle of incomparable money worship in Hollywood, such a sincere friendship for more than 20 years is really precious. And years of careful management has also made this "Bo, Germany" combination a golden sign in Hollywood. (Thinking about the recent breakup of the "Two Zhang" group who have been working closely together for many years in China, I can't help but feel embarrassed.)
In fact, as long as it is the work of these two people, it must be a masterpiece. Controlling the overall situation, coupled with Johnny Depp's increasingly sophisticated and delicate acting skills, all the audience has to do is savor the gluttonous feast that they have jointly offered. However, due to Tim Burton's persistence or even paranoia, he has always adhered to the same shooting style, and naturally cultivated a vote of die-hard fans. It's good that he is definitely not a minority in the world. This also naturally formed another group that was opposed to him, and there were many people who sneered at his too dark tone. Every time his new film comes out, there are always two kinds of public opinions with different praise and criticism. And the stubborn Tim Burton seems to be used to such a situation. He only makes movies for those who like him. As for other people, he is too lazy to fight for it.
This film is such a latest work that he continues to go his own way. The diligent and shrewd Collins couple, after being proud of their business, decided to root their family in a port town and named the town: Collins. And a project that took 15 years to give the family a solid stronghold also gave Bolton one of the elements he is best at in the film - the castle. In this castle, the protagonist of the story, Barnabas, gradually grew up until he took over the family business. Such a handsome and rich man is naturally the favorite object of many teenagers, including a maid in the family. After this young man abandoned this humble and self-defeating maid, he declared to her that he did not love you, and married another beautiful girl. And the maid actually showed her true face under the continuous stimulation, first killed the elderly Collins and his wife, and then killed Barnabas' bride by jumping off a cliff. , He who was cursed turned into a vampire and became immortal, and he who was difficult to integrate into the world was mercilessly buried alive by the villagers.
Time travels to the modern age nearly 200 years later. At this time, the town of Collins is still prosperous. However, the Collins family is no longer the master here. The witch who has changed several identities during the 200 years has become the helm of the town. The 200-year period also made Collins gradually decline. There are only a few poor members left in the desolate castle, and Barnabas, played by Depp, was dug up by the workers at the construction site. The Collins family is about to settle here. Under the leadership of a powerful vampire ancestor, the road to revival began. With the continuation of the story, the peak duel between Barnabas and the witch was staged as scheduled, and the vampire representing this justice will inevitably become the winner in this duel, but at a cost However, it marked the destruction of their family's history and splendid castle, and his new love was successfully transformed into a vampire in the process of falling off the cliff again. When he finally got rid of the witch's curse with a long sigh, he also finally had the ability to With his eternal love, but also announced the end of the film.
After watching the whole film, I was once again conquered by the charm of the combination of Bo and Germany. I left behind a few burdens everywhere in the film, and then in the later storytelling, I broke it one by one inadvertently, even sponsoring it. Shangdu became the object of his ridicule, and while the audience laughed at it, it also played an excellent effect of implanting advertisements. In terms of character makeup, it is a highlight. He insists on exaggerated style, and he makes up the vampire played by Depp in a gloomy and funny way, and his wife is successful in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" After entering Bolton's royal team, he did not miss all his subsequent works of this style. Helena Bonham Carter, the exaggerated and exaggerated Queen of Hearts in "Alice in Wonderland", Although there are not many scenes in this film, it is enough to shine, and the underwater resurrection arranged at the end of the film is even more impressive.
Another very good movie, it is really interesting to taste the works of such a master carefully.
