It has always been believed that there must be some wonderful fate between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, as it exists between Danny Boyle and Ewan McGregor. And this 1982 work called "Vincent" seems to give an answer. The image of Vincent comes from Tim's mind, and its inspiration comes from Tim's favorite works of Poe, many of the weird elements of Gothic The fusion gave birth to such an image and such a work.
And it is conceivable that when Tim met Depp many years later, how delighted he sparked. Tim must be amazed that there is such a man in this world, he has a profile and tone similar to Vincent, and what is even more commendable is that he is so. Unique and full of charm, it is simply the emergence of the most unique works in my mind in reality, so a series of works full of secret atmosphere from "Edward Scissorhands" to "Sweeney Todd" was born.
This short film, which was not highly rated at the time, has now been almost forgotten. For those who love Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, this short and slick short film is more like a confession about Tim and Depp. The trailer, it witnesses the original dream that Tim has never abandoned for many years, and the infinite wonder and hope that it has brought us, and now we are fortunate to be in the theater and enjoy a different artistic experience.
Tim Burton found Johnny Depp and realized the fantasy dream he had in his mind. Have we found our own Johnny Depp?

    A short film full of Tim style. Compared with the later commercial films, this one is purer, but it is not suitable for me.

    "And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted? Nevermore..." I think this is the inner monologue of Tim Burton, the world in the mind of a goth lunatic!

Vincent quotes

  • Narrator: Vincent Malloy is seven years old, / He's always polite and does what he's told. / For a boy his age he's considerate and nice, / But he wants to be just like Vincent Price. / He doesn't mind living with his sister, dog and cats, / Though he'd rather share a home with spiders and bats. / There he could reflect on the horrors he's invented, / And wander dark hallways alone and tormented. / Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him, / But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum. / He likes to experiment on his dog Abercrombie, / In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie. / So he and his horrible zombie dog, / Could go searching for victims in the London fog. / His thoughts though aren't only of ghoulish crime, / He likes to paint and read to pass some of the time. / While other kids read books like Go Jane Go, / Vincent's favorite author is Edgar Allan Poe. / One night while reading a gruesome tale, / He read a passage that made him turn pale. / Such horrible news he could not survive, / For his beautiful wife had been buried alive. / He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead, / Unaware that her grave was his mother's flower bed. / His mother sent Vincent off to his room, / He knew he'd been banished to the tower of doom. / Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life, / Alone with a portrait of his beautiful wife. / While alone and insane, encased in his tomb, / Vincent's mother burst suddenly into the room. / She said, "If you want to you can go out and play. / It's sunny outside and a beautiful day." / Vincent tried to talk, but he just couldn't speak, / The years of isolation had made him quite weak. / So he took out some paper and scrawled with a pen, / "I am possessed by this house and can never leave it again." / His mother said, "You're not possessed, and you're not almost dead. / These games that you play are all in your head. / You're not Vincent Price you're Vincent Malloy. / You're not tormented or insane you're just a young boy. / "You're seven years old and you are my son. / I want you to get outside and have some real fun." / Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall, / And while Vincent backed slowly against the wall. / The room started to sway, to shiver and creak. / His horrid insanity had reached its peak. / He saw Abercrombie his zombie slave, / And heard his wife call from beyond the grave. / She spoke from her coffin and made ghoulish demands. / While through cracking walls reached skeleton hands. / Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams, / Swept his mad laughter to terrified screams. / To escape the madness he reached for the door, / But fell limp and lifeless down on the floor. / His voice was soft and very slow, / As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allan Poe, / "And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor, / Shall be lifted - Nevermore!"
