Not only for being a stop-motion animation directed by Tim Burton was a one of my favorite’s films, but also for being a film that shows the style and the classic themes of Tim Burton, like the multifarious interaction between light and dark and being trapped between two worlds. But also it would have used an extensive soundscape and the most important I like the story, where you as a human being don’t think that there are another worlds that our own, like the dead world, unless you can marry one. Of course it is a tale where anything can happen.
Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride tells the story of two different families brought together by an arranged marriage. Victor and Victoria are to be married but in a panic Victor runs for the hills. In a grave misunderstanding Victor proposes to the Corpse Bride. Victor soon finds himself traveling to the Corpse Bride's home, the afterlife. The scene and the characters emit a dark and dull look. Free from the limits like the land of the living, the dead world has a beautiful yet scary appeal. The afterlife is showed as a party place full of laughter and free corpses. Throughout the movie is especially relevant in discussing Burton's themes and habitual preoccupations. That which is perceived as corpse is never associated with evil in Burton's films; his "corpses" are always misunderstood creatures looking for forms of love, acceptance, and some of them looking for the peace.
The songs were very tasteful; the movie was somewhat of a musical with about five songs that were composed by Danny Elfman. Victor learns that his new fiancée's name is Emily and that she was murdered in the woods on the night of her elopement. Victor, wanting to get back to Victoria, convinces the magical Elder Gutknecht to send him and Emily temporarily to the Land of the Living under the pretext of introducing Emily to Victor's parents. Once back home, Victor dailies to see Victoria and confesses his love. Emily feels deceived and drags Victor back to the Land of the Dead. Emily is devastated at first by Victor's deceit, but eventually realizes that Victor and Victoria probably belong together. Victor apologizes to Emily for lying to her. In this scene I like how Victor apologizes to Emily because of they play the piano together, of course the songs is “the piano duet”. Danny Elfman just had a way of keeping you on the edge of your seat with his brilliant compositions, it also make the film was more exciting and with the changes of the musician you can predict what will happen. Also I like who the songs presents the story.
Tim Burton's careful, creative design of the characters brings out the story and elements that he wanted to make most obvious. Over two-hundred puppets had to be created and they all had to look like they belonged to the same world. Through the close detail, the viewer can see the character's emotions and thoughts with very little dialogue. Tim Burton uses stop-motion animation which adds a nice touch of brutality. Each character is very unique, and has they own special look and movement. The entire movie as we known is created by a team that which are organized to make all the features, make like 10 different faces of the characters, and of course different bodies that make and these are natural movement.
The Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride is a movie that has a lot of suspense, action, and good musician, also we can reflect on some characters.
