Tim Burton films are all very unusual and extravagant. His "Corpse Bride" is not an exception. This fantasy story is full of adventures. I like this film very much because of cute characters. They're like real people. Their features are the result of their past and the reason for their future.The story begins in a small Victorian town. Victor Van Dort's parents want him to get married to young Victoria Everglot, whose parents are poor nobles. In fact, the Everglots don't like this idea very much, because Victor is a fish merchant. During the wedding rehearsal he forgets his vows so Victor goes away to learn them by heart. He repeats his word aloud and put the engagement ring on a branch of tree like if it's a finger of a bride. As you guess, that branch is a hand of a dead woman, who raises up and decides that Victor is her husband now.The Overglot are worried about Victor's disappearing - they spent a lot of money on wedding and they can't postpone this event. Wait for a bit happy and a bit sad ending with unexpected turns.I like it not only because of characters, but the atmosphere and the main idea. Setting is amazing - scaring, foggy and Gothic ( black ravens are included). The comparison of the underground world and the real one is also interesting. Alive people are greedy, gray and gloomy, and the dead ones are kind, merry and happy. That makes us to think: "What's wrong with us and why are we worse than raised corpses sometimes?" This film can fit every audience - skeletons and corpses are very funny and they aren't detailed.
The film Corpse Bride was shot in the USA and Great Britain in 2005. The Directors were Mike Johnson and Tim Burton, and the producers were Tim Burton and Allison Abbate. John August, Caroline Thompson, Pamela Petter wrote a script. Danny Elfman composed the music.This film tells the story of a young man Victor, who was supposed to marry Lady Victoria, and happened to be near the grave of the bride Emily and put a ring on her ring finger. Once in the world of the dead, Victor first tries to return, but after learning that Victoria is getting married, he decides to marry the dead.When I watched this movie, I did not enjoy it. For me, as a bearer of Russian culture, it seemed too gloomy and, moreover, too trivial. A girl, who wants a wending with a beloved, who kills her; a young man, who occasional happened to be nearby and gave her hope... I think everyone knows such a story. The only thing that endows the film with at least some sense is people's thoughts of happiness. The dead bride refused the sacrifice of Victor, realizing that she deprives of the happiness the girl Victoria.I can not deny that the film is perfectly done. But I also do not recommend to see this film.
The Corpse Bride is a cartoon by Tim Burton. And that is very unusual cartoon. It contains death theme and love story and use puppet animation. You may think that this film isn't good for child, but it isn't so. And cartoons are not only for children but for adult people too.This cartoon is made in 2005. It was directed and produced by Tim Burton. The plot was written by John August and other talented people. The music, which was written by Danny Elfman, contributes to the atmosphere of this film. If you watch it on English, you will hear Jonny Depp as Victor, Helena Bonham Carter as Victoria and Emily Watson as Emily.Story shows time of conflict between the bourgeoisie and the nobility. We see two families from these layers of society that want to marry their children for themselves wants. But the hero, one of them, which is called Victor, accidentally become married the dead woman, which name is Emily. It sounds strange but interesting.Setting can be understood only by adult people. But sometimes film is too childish. I really don't understand, which auditory the film aims at. What I didn't understand were Victor's actions. Every time, when he had a problem, he ran away. But only once he decided to do something important. Either he chose what he wants or writers made error in his personality. But it's not so bad on the background of many good elements of the film.First of all, other characters were well drawn. I understand their actions. Also, you dive in the cartoon very deep and you can't get out: it has gripping plot, beautiful puppet animation and background music. I should say, is The Corpse Bride good or bad, but I don't know it. It is not awful and not perfect. But I think everybody would like this cartoon after watching.
Corpse Bride is a combination of comedy, horror and drama in one film. Mystical puppet cartoon was directed and produced by everyone's favorite Tim Burton. The composer is also a well-known Danny Elfman. Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp voiced the main roles.The story is set in the late 1800s in a Victorian village. Victor and Victoria are betrothed. But when things go wrong at the wedding rehearsal, Victor goes into the woods to practice his vows. When he say them correctly, he realize, that the branch on which he have put the ring is a finger of corpse bride - Emily... So, two brides, one groom, what will be next?Cartoon is very mystic: life in afterlife world, the abundance of excellent soundtracks and the piano, runaway hands, indecisive Victor and dreamy Emily, the horrific killing - all of this give a kind of flavor. Animation fully puppet, you will be able to enjoy the work of operators(dolls and the world is very detailed, what you can find only in some cartoons)I thoroughly recommend Corpse Bride. The audience will spend an hour and a half with pleasure, because all of Tim Burton works will not leave anyone indifferent. I think, you like the funny and horrifying atmosphere. Last but not least, I think anyone likes puppies, even if they are dead :)
