I liked Depp and then came over to watch this movie. It is a Gothic-style story with a dark fairy tale. The whole is a story of good overcoming evil. However, the processing of pictures and sound effects are still quite good.
The plot is very simple. A police officer (played by Depp), who can't stand his boss's sloppy handling of prisoners, protested in court, and then was arranged by his boss to go to Sleepy Hollow to deal with several murders that had happened here. The first incident, so Depp came here to start a series of suspenseful exploration trips. There were several more victims on the way. After overcoming the inner fear and nightmares, with the help of Karena Stepmother witchcraft and vicious persecution.
The black-and-white picture sets off the shady Sleepy Hollow, and the misty air occasionally hears the hooting of owls, and the scattered pedestrians give a strange illusion, but I have to admit that this atmosphere creates a A different kind of beauty, a kind of repressed beauty through the soul, when the headless horseman starts running in the dark path, thousands of lightning and thunder flash in the sky, just like we sigh at the power of nature. , The heart is full of fear, but he enjoys this infinite power. The headless knight is dressed in black all over his body, black armor, black sword, and black horse. .
Every scene in the movie is like a stage play. The expressions of the characters are rich and in place, Depp's neurotic expression, the pale face tortured by nightmares, and the messy hair all give people a feeling of decadence and dilapidation. People are either fat, wretched, or old, but at the same time Karena, who plays a very good contrast role, this kind soul, when the picture appears, the whole picture seems to be warm, with blond hair, white clothes, only From the outside, you can see the character's spirituality.
After watching the movie, I am not very interested in the script, but I am a little interested in the decadent beauty of the Gothic style. I want to be more in touch with the characteristics of this culture. How did it attract us to the depths of our hearts? .
