In 1990s, Edward Scissorhands, directed by tim burton, as a landmark Gothic film, set off the golden age of the revival of Gothic films. Since then, many masterpieces of this style have appeared on the big screen. But among his many Gothic films with strong personal style, I appreciate the animated film Corpse Bride released in 2005. Corpse Bride lacks the sadness of Edward Scissorhands and the darkness and cruelty of Todd Barber, but it adds warmth to the plot and eulogizes the beautiful human nature.
Corpse Bride originated from eastern European folklore. Legend has it that the Jewish bride was killed by Jewish militants during the wedding and buried in the wilderness. On this basis, tim burton reprocessed this cruel story with his wild imagination, and told a brand-new story in the form of animation, warm style and slightly sensational plot setting. After reading it, I can't help but sigh: it is such a warm story that flows under the original horrible and gloomy title.
As the film unfolds, there is no doubt that what I see is still a magnificent, tall, dark and desolate Gothic building. The people who live in this tall building are ugly, snobbish and stingy. In order to enter the upper class, the fish seller and the duke and duchess engaged in a political marriage with their children as chips to get rid of the financial crisis. The darkness of the dead and the bourgeois face of the people are suffocating. Fortunately, it was reassuring that two young people fell in love at first sight. Because the rehearsal of the wedding didn't go well, Victor, the hero, practiced the rehearsal steps alone in the suburbs, and the devil came to a dead branch with a ring. At this time, the camera kept advancing, and the gloomy suburban branches trembled and longed for generate. Then there was an amazing moment, and a Corpse Bride appeared. It was chilling, but it also made Victor sweat. But the appearance of Corpse Bride still surprised me a little. Emily in Corpse Bride doesn't have a heartbeat, but she has an angelic face, slender waist, full breasts, and a white wedding dress that is still luxurious despite the baptism of time. I was shocked, which is far from the ugly and cruel zombie image in our minds. Even Victoria in this world may not have her charm. But tim burton's surprise didn't stop there. Corpse Bride has a beautiful appearance and a heart as pure as a diamond.
