Books Compared with other works of Tim Burton, "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle" is a movie with a particularly routine, and it is this routine that makes the movie limited to a fairy tale, and The addition of gray and dark colors still shows the unique film style of Tim Burton, but it does not bring out the amazing dark inner side as always.
In terms of story, the movie actually has some similarities with Tim Burton's classic "Big Fish". And Tim Burton also integrated his best gothic style into this new work, but "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle" can only be regarded as a shadow of "Big Fish", the plot is weak, but it is not It's not that this kind of alternative style can be decorated. The previous paragraph took a lot of time and space to pave the way, but it just makes people feel that they have gone to the wrong set. Too strong, but the next too weak development is only to make the villain show anticlimactic, and it is even more pity that the background of World War II that could have gone deeper, although it is realistic in the darkness highlighted by the gothic movies, it is only a stop. here.
When the film is almost halfway through, with the appearance of the villain, the plot tension of the whole story can be gradually mobilized, but at this time, there is not much time left for the film to tell the story well and shape the feelings, which is to use time travel to To complete the novelty of the movie concept, and to present a battle of good and evil at the end, although it has to be said that the final confrontation has indeed become the climax of the movie, the war of a group of children is interesting enough and particularly exciting, but time travel and villains It's all just passed by hastily, and the uncontrollable rhythm and unseen surprises make the development of the whole plot feel mediocre.
To be precise, the darkness and even blood of "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle" is not suitable for children, but it is just a fairy tale for adults, so just like the fresh and handsome protagonist Asa Butterfield selected in the movie, The essence of this film is a teenage film with a strong commercial flavor. When we look at this work from this perspective, Tim Burton's original intention of making this film is not to create another amazing masterpiece. But it is just a good-selling fantasy novel, and the emotional emptiness of the characters is destined that the film cannot have the same capital as the old classics such as "Edward Scissorhands", "Big Fish", and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
This is a movie with enough Tim Burton style, but not exactly like Tim Burton's work. Maybe the talented guy in his early years never thought that the gothic style he was good at would make such a movie. A teenage version of the X-Men.
