The icy Sleepy Hollow, the ghostly and elegant town from time to time, and the unique Gothic style, Bolton seems to have continued everything about Scissorhands from Sleepy Hollow. So the magnificent black setting is combined with the classic dark story to form this Absurd and beautiful work, the film starts with the first murder case. The headless horseman is ordered to kill by a manipulator, and this mystery case is actually a magical murder that revolves around the family of Sleepy Hollow. Johnny deep plays the role of the police officer who solves the mystery. In the movie, he is an atheist who is completely opposite to his background and thoughts. He is such a person who can better operate the stage in the movie and understand the truth of the case more thoroughly. This movie portrays the characteristics of this character well. The truth of the suspected case was also slowly revealed by the audience following Depp's train of thought.
At the beginning of watching this movie, with this bizarre murder case, heavy and strange music and atmosphere and dialogue as a foreshadowing, you will feel that you will be attracted to this story, you will be very interested to learn about it, and start a puzzle-solving process, The dialogue between the characters makes you feel that there is not a single sentence that is not an important clue to the mystery.
The movie not only has the mysterious color of Harry Potter, but also the absurdity and weirdness of the Edens family, the retro pictures and props, and the strong sense of the medieval atmosphere. I really appreciate it. Based on the original legend of Sleepy Hollow, I can't imagine this. Everything with a mythical story and a background of the times has been brought to life by Burton's "Sleepy Hollow", and every retro detail is not relaxed. It is really another masterpiece of the art design of Gothic movies.
Although the plot of the movie is based on the original book, the details and key points are so tight that the details that do not need to be elaborated can be easily passed through, but it seems that some parts are a bit faster, especially I feel that the characters' dialogue speed is too fast, such as police officers. Asking the leaders of the four conspiracies, the atmosphere was suddenly weighed down by his words, which is both unnatural and obviously makes people feel suspicious. The role played by johnny deep in the deep still feels a bit like the shadow of scissors, and it doesn't feel so Naturally, it seems that Bolton has always wanted to take this dark humorous cell from Scissorhands into Sleepy Hollow. Although it has created some admirable entertainment, the switching speed is slightly faster and has some twisted defects.
But the film is generally enjoyable and neat, which is attributed to Burton's straightforward approach in the film, as well as the handling and conception of the film's climax. Apart from the tension, there is no sense of neglect at all. The lens changes are rich, and you can experience a thrilling visual fight. Interspersed with the memories of the police officers to express the creative power of art, such as when the mother put the torture instrument in the gap to see a bit of horror, and when the cruel torture instrument with a thousand steel needles was opened, the movie seemed to be in Shinning. The elevator opens, and the scene of blood splashing inside is a perfect tribute, beautiful and trembling, one of my favorite scenes.
In the end, the mystery was solved. Generations of families and secret agents became the victims of conspiracy avengers. All of this was only for meaningless revenge, but they were able to manipulate and use the weakness of ghosts and gods to behead their heads. Layers of conspiracy and tricks permeated people's hearts Frightened Sleepy Hollow, it can be imagined that the horror conspiracy theory of human nature is better than the fear of beheading and splashing blood in the movie. It is the master of the strange atmosphere of the whole movie. Unscrupulous people, they can hurt innocents until they need it. In the movie, the next time the severed head is used as a striking metaphor, it seems that what makes us feel the real fear is not the headless horseman who can turn the axe on the night of the full moon. , but those who have unscrupulous means to seek self-preservation and interests, just like the saying that the evil of all things is worse than the evil of human nature.
