Whether it is "Edward Scissorhands." or "Big Fish", Or this "Zombie Bride", Burton has been explaining, isn't it the two themes of loneliness and love? Romance, eerie, eerie, mysterious, peculiarly cute, there are many elements that must be found in Burton's films. "Zombie Bride" has no shortage of it. It firmly labels the film as Tim Burton, and the whole film is in cool gray tones. Under the influence of the influence, the mood always seems to be a little gloomy, but suddenly found that in the underworld, the world of the dead, the use of colors has increased, and there is laughter, music, and most importantly, feelings, whether it is a zombie bride And the little maggots in her eyes, the spider with 3 pairs of eyes, or even a group of skeletons, you can see the atmosphere of love, and the 3 songs and dances in the film are all in the underworld world, on the other hand Living world, living people are all expressionless, even between parents and children, they only see the relationship of being ordered to get married to get rid of poverty and enter the upper class in order to rely on children's marriage, the world of living people does not have Singing, dancing and laughter, only money can be used and used, Bolton seems to be using color music to express a living irony of the real world.
And love seems to have become a luxury in the real world. Although Victor and Victoria were ordered to get married, fortunately, the two fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other. I think the end of the final film made the two of them together instead of Victor. And Zombie Bride also expresses the director's fulfillment of this extraordinarily scarce love in the real world. It is his beautiful vision, which is already very rare. Why not fulfill it and make it more complete? And look at the zombie bride, she said, I love you, but you don't belong to me, love is not necessarily possession but the fulfillment of each other's happiness.
When I watched it for the second time, what the little bride said at the end of the whole film seemed to make me really understand how the front and back of the film echoed. At the beginning of the film, Victor drew a butterfly according to the shape of the butterfly covered in the glass cover. painted, and then released the butterfly. At the end, the zombie bride said: You kept your promise, you set me free, Now I can do the same for you. Then, she turned into a butterfly and drifted away. She said, you set me free, and now I can do the same for you. I mean, Victor set her free, and she's freeing Victor now, and that freedom is letting him be with the Victoria he loves, and that's what she did for Victor, and the butterfly in the opening glass , is it a symbol of the zombie bride? She said you set me free, does it also echo Victor's move of releasing "butterflies" in the title sequence? Victor got the butterfly by accident. After having it for a short time, he didn't have her but released her. Then, it was the zombie bride who accidentally listened to Victor's oath, misunderstood him, and briefly owned him in her underworld. , also released him. Although I liked him very much and didn't possess him, the roles of the two people exchanged.
In fact, life is sometimes true. We will meet by chance, and we will meet many people that we like and even love very much. People and things, but there may be no way to have it. At this time, blindly competing for possession may not necessarily be the best way. Love is not necessarily in the hand, but to achieve better happiness. At this time, letting go is not only freeing the other party, but also freeing yourself.
Victoria said something to Barkis, whom she was going to marry later, which I remember very well: "Perhaps in disappointment we're perfectly matched. If it was so sad, I would feel very distressed for Victoria. Although she and Victor are both lonely and introverted, fortunately they are in love with each other." And combined, it can be considered that the film is a complete comfort to this kind of children's paper~~
I want to use the same sentence at the end, TIM BURTON, in the interest of seeking and finding the true meaning of love, you and all your movie fans are perfectly matched!^_^
