Past events & psychology

The collaboration between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp is always saturated with this strong and unique image style.
The dark and cold picture, the protagonist with a certain neurotic temperament, and the slow revelation of a childhood past.
I want to find words to describe such a movie, but to no avail.
I think they are telling a story. Because when telling the story, the triviality of the background is filtered out. Because of the lack of trivialities, the sense of reality fades and the taste of magic is highlighted. There are no superfluous characters or even superfluous scenes. Houses can be slanted and forests can wither.
They are like a kind of psychological analysis. The childhood memories always flash back unexpectedly, slowly revealing the causal relationship between them and the protagonist's character. These past events not only affect the character of the person, but also have a wonderful reaction with the person's present, which affects the person's choice at this moment. Suddenly I felt that Freud might like such a movie.
Looking forward to their continued work.

    Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are enough. It's just a dark fairy tale. Standard gothic style. Big Love!

Sleepy Hollow quotes

  • [On Katrina's apparent guilt]

    Young Masbath: A strange sort of witch, with a kind and loving heart. How can you think so?

    Ichabod Crane: I have good reason.

    Young Masbath: Then you are bewitched by reason.

    Ichabod Crane: I am beaten down by it!

  • [to Katrina, who is apparently guilty]

    Ichabod Crane: It was an evil spirit possessed you. I pray God it is satisfied now, and you find peace. The evil eye has done it's work; my life is over, spared for a lifetime of horrors in my sleep, waking each day to grief. Goodbye, Katrina.
