This is Tim Burton's 2005 work "Zombie Bride". Some people say: People who like Tim Burton's movies are people who like loneliness, because Tim Burton is a loner by nature, and he pursues a weird, avant-garde, and dark realm all his life. But in this movie, we saw a different Bolton, perhaps we should say that we felt the warmth in Bolton's heart.
Making the film was a huge undertaking because it wasn't shot with computer CG but with traditional puppet stop-motion. The staff made beautiful puppets, and when shooting, they moved the puppets, shooting frame by frame. This is not in vain, the three-dimensionality and hardness of the picture give the audience a perfect visual enjoyment. The vivid expressions of the characters in the film, the graceful dancing and the fluttering of the wedding dress all require a lot of hard work from the staff. With such efforts, Bolton's painstaking efforts have brought this horror-themed movie, but it conveys a kind of warmth to people.
The film fully reflects the director's amazing imagination. The dancing of the skeletons, the daily life of the zombies, and the grotesqueness of Bolton make the movie lively and cute. The human world and the region are only upstairs and downstairs, and the dead ghosts returning to the human world are actually just visiting relatives. The ending is even more heartwarming. On the one hand is Victoria who is in love at first sight, and on the other is the poor, kind and persistent love zombie bride - Emily. Difficult to decide, Bolton arranged just right. The "exit" of the zombie bride is beautifully transformed into a butterfly. A pair of lovers finally get married. The perfect happy ending is heartwarming. It doesn't have to be tragic to be touching, and it doesn't have to be twisted to be unforgettable. Bolton's warmth is very obvious here, which is a kind of warmth under the dark darkness.
The overall tone is still Tim Burton's representative dark, gothic style, all of which remind us of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" more than ten years ago. At that time, the pumpkin king-JACK in Burton's "pen" was tired of bringing fear and fright to people, and tried to change himself, hoping to bring more joy to people. This time, Tim Burton made a JACK himself, conveying warmth to people with the theme of horror. The difference is that this time, he succeeded. Great job! "Pumpkin King"~~~
