There are two kinds of behaviors, which can be forgiven or even worshipped, and become the highest hall of fascination culture. One is to pay tribute, and the other is to copy yourself. "Frankenstein" has both, and it's a masterpiece. Dragging the unreleased black-and-white animation short film that you took when you debuted to a long one, you can say that Jiang Lang is only gnawing on the old paper, or it can be said that the master has finally fulfilled an immature dream when he was young. In fact, "Frankenstein" is realizing a dream, and there is only one criterion for whether you like it or not: in your dreams, have you seen them.
The attitude of many people towards Tim Burton is exactly the same as the attitude of the residents of the community towards science in the film. The design of a small town community almost exactly the same as "Edward Scissorhands", Tim Burton's understanding of human nature of ordinary people has not changed for more than two decades-they are still so vulgar, stupid, short-sighted, opposed to sublime, and selfish. Li, and even the most important thing, is not kind at all. If we say that the community residents in "Edward Scissorhands" are still forgiven for their fear of Edward, there are still some positive characters, and most of the reasons for everyone’s extreme and negative reactions are fear. Twenty years later, "Frankenstein" The inhabitants in "Dog" are a group of disgusting gangsters who show the most vulgar, despicable, and lowest side of human nature to the fullest.
Regarding things they don't understand, they make unreasonable judgments, and they can even make unreasonable lives and deaths. The science teacher gave a nearly suicidal speech at the conference, in return for an offended group stupid counterattack. At that moment, the Hypatia who was thrown into the fire, Bruno who was tied to the pillar of fire, and the babbling fundamentalist Republicans seemed to be right in front of them; the most animalistic and disgusting side of mankind was revealed. Fortunately, it was only a cartoon, and all we saw was the lonely back of the science teacher. Even those children have mostly lost their innocence, and are only obsessed with fighting for power.
Victor is Tim Burton, and this dog is his movie world. It looks dark, but in fact it is extremely innocent and warm, with infinite innocence, harmless ghosts and animals, and the simplest hope for the world. And the real dark ones are often people who make rash judgments on them. These people are self-serving, arrogant, and occluded in their ventricles. They have been immersed in the roots of the established structure and ideology of the outdated regulations of society, like walking dead. In 2005 Tim Burton's "Zombie Bride", all the zombies in hell are vivid and full of human touch, but the humans on the ground are all mediocre and boring, vulgar like zombies. This is Tim Burton.
The surprises that "Frankenstein" can bring to people belong to those lovely details and tribute. In the opening scene, the instant look of the Japanese monster movie and the retro atmosphere brought by the old film films; the Victor family’s surname is "Frankenstein", and the cute girl next door is named Fan Haising. The boss Frankenstein is the same. Even that bad friend is called Edgar (Allan Poe), he is still a hunchback like Frankenstein’s assistant; the layout of the community and the mountains behind it are the former "Edward Scissorhands"; the science teacher is Vincent Pry The incarnation of Si; the haircut of the neighbor next door is like the poodle of the Frankenstein bride; the design of the pet cemetery is like the cliff of "The Nightmare Before Christmas"; the cemetery finally becomes a giant "Godzilla" monster His pet turtle is actually called "Shelley (Mary)"; in the dubbing lineup, we saw Martin Landau and Winona Ryder.
And finally, we came to the windmill on the top of the mountain again. In 1931, the history of Polis Karlov’s "Frankenstein" will never be forgotten. People will never forget that on the last mountain, the crowd holding torches surrounded the huge windmill, and Frankenstein was doing the last in it. The classic scene of struggling and finally self-destruction in the fire. In "Frankenstein", we once again copied this classic ending-and more intimately, our sense of familiarity does not come from the somewhat old "Frankenstein", but from Burton in 1999 The Headless Horseman, Depp and Rich, also in the windmill on the mountain, ended the legend with an explosion. Tribute, self-plagiarism, and repetitive creativity suddenly merged into a blurry and fetish-like wonderful text. Memories and allusions intersect in an instant, and emotions accumulate, and finally it feels like a long river, until the crowd of onlookers gradually disperses— -Just like "Edward Scissorhands".
Tim Burton’s golden years may be over, and he will always be with these nightmares of his childhood forever. We understand him, we love him, and we know that he just looks dark, and what is really dark is the hearts of those who do not understand and slander him.
The final expectation is that, just as the Venice Film Festival has awarded Burton a lifetime achievement award, this year’s Oscar awards ceremony can award the best animated feature film to "Frankenstein". Maybe it was Tim Burton. When I entered the film industry, my initial dream. This may be the last traditional "author" in Hollywood. He is not a dream maker, but turns dreams into reality.
