In May of this year, I went to the film festival to support "Dark Shadows" on an evening that was very similar to the lightning night of "Frankenstein". I looked forward to two years but I was looking forward to a soap opera; In the short film, Bolton still did not bring surprises. Just like the electric shocks in the film again and again, but from the initial surprise to the effect of less and less than expected, the Burton movie seems to have gone from a Gothic wonderland like "Ed Wood" and "Edward Scissorhands" to the present "Edward Scissorhands". "Alice in Wonderland" and "Frankenstein" sell like old books, and the audience has gradually become accustomed to his character settings (although Johnny Depp did not appear, but the victor is still Johnny Depp), the scene design (the whole The block sets are the same as Edward Scissorhands), and even the soundtrack (Danny Elfman really only has those few tones).
However, as a Bolton fan, I still have to say two good things, the opening paragraph of the fake movie is full of tribute to the monster movie and shows the cuteness of sparky very well; the first half hour uses wonderful editing several times between the approximate images Switch freely; in the original 30 minutes, too many neighbors' fear of sparky was upgraded to the last wooden house section. The sudden turning point of this character change was replaced by a few children's resuscitation animals in the long version, which is not bad. The idea; in addition, the most important thing is the black and white animation effect: full marks!
The small loss of infinite expectation again will not affect my enthusiasm for chasing Bolton, but I do feel that if he does not make new attempts and breakthroughs in the next work, I am afraid that even Bolton fans will not be able to be rescued by electric shock. , when did you make a comeback, Bolton?
