Another quirk of Burton and Depp, and my beloved Helena. Wow, hahaha, the overall tone is so Burton style. Dark tones, bright red, go with a grotesque vampire style. Even the sexy scenes are so dark and humorous. like! And the overall feeling is the feeling of walking a small animation. Don't forget, he set the background in 1972.
The story is that a witch fell in love with a big boy, and after the boy fell in love with her, she fell in love with a serious girl, and then the witch cursed, the girl died, the family was broken, and the boy turned into a vampire and was framed and blocked underground for centuries. Then he came out of the coffin again, saved the fallen family, and then reunited happily, but there was an open ending, that is, the doctor played by Helena was turned into a vampire, and then opened his eyes again after the body sank into the sea. Wait for the lower part.
Overall still good, not sure why most people don't like it. Perhaps unlike those beautiful vampire stories now, everyone is still looking forward to Depp's perfect stunning image. But think about Bolton going that way? Difficult. At least the current tone can be said to be his exclusive thing.
The whole movie can also keep you entertained until the end, and it's a lot of fun when Colin starts talking about his own life and will play the tape soundtrack. Also, a tough hostess. Ecstasy! I like. Michelle Pfeiffer is good. And that amazing big M, do you want to advertise? Wa hahaha.
This movie is really good, don't say too much. Think, 1970 yo.

    #新衡山# The film is too trendy, much better than expected, but the ending is chaotic. The atmosphere of the 70s is Tim Burton’s nostalgia for adolescence. Vampires are definitely cooler than hippies, and the sense of dislocation brought about by crossing should be so. The most exciting thing is that Alice Cooper’s true performance is like going back in time, and Christopher Lee has appeared in vampire movies again. This is much cooler than Andy Warhol's "Devil's Blood"!

    I know Burton Depp is going backwards, but I just love such absurd films.
