story revolves around a typical Gothic family living in Adams Manor, where the daughter of the family is weirdly black and weird on Wednesday, loves bloody revenge. There is also a pet "hand" that has been with family members for many years, covered with stitching needles and threads. Two completely irrelevant elements, weird and cute, are perfectly combined in this hand.
The original comic focuses on the story to portray the Adams family, while director Tim Burton puts the core this time on his daughter's campus life on Wednesday - the rebellious problem girl enters Nefermore Academy where the problematic teenager is concentrated and meets her classmates who are "strange" like her. You can think of this as the dark version of Hogwarts Magic Academy or Xavier Talent Teenager Academy, where werewolf , vampires, siren, and shapeshifts are everywhere. Such a strange school naturally surging undercurrents. Wednesday, who wanted to escape from the shackles as soon as possible, was accidentally involved in a storm.
In fact, those who are familiar with the original version of "Adams" know that the version of "Wednesday" adapted by Tim Burton is actually not particularly outstanding. Some people even commented on its "magic modification settings", "not as good as the original version", and "unusual", but it is undeniable that no one is more suitable to play "Adams" than Tim Burton, a "strange" at this stage. Whether it is a cemetery, hidden treasures, mysterious and ancient old manor, or a gloomy, pale, weird, and weird Gothic shape, or an atmosphere full of blood in the internal organs, shiny tools, and skeletons, as well as a rebellious and unruly character, these elements are Tim Burton's special skills and are also the most typical expression style of "The Adams Family".
Tim Burton injected the gothic fantasy into every frame of Wednesday, with a bit of cold humor while being curious. The girl was withdrawn and indifferent by nature on Wednesday, and was allergic to color. A kind heart was hidden under the appearance of the poisonous tongue. The audience saw many shadows of Tim Bolton's previous works from such a character. He also set up many small easter eggs in "Wednesday". For example, the "no blink" setting on Wednesday makes people easily reminded of "Kurbrick's gaze", and the sets in the town and school also pay tribute to Tim Burton's own works "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Dead-Headed Valley". As for the little skull in a bottle on the principal's desk, it comes from Tim Borton's early masterpiece " The Great Master of the Underworld ". These small and ingenious designs also bring great surprises to audiences familiar with the director.
From " Scissor Hand Edward " to " Barber Todd ", from " Zombie Bride " to "Dead Valley", and later " Alice in Wonderland " and "Miss Pe's Fantasy Castle", Tim Burton can always outline a fairy tale world full of dark Gothic style with a cold, gloomy and unclear retro style. It seems decadent but is actually moving. The painting style is weird but full of innocence. It is full of warmth under the horror face.
He is very good at presenting the gap between light and darkness, beauty and ugliness, kindness and evil, thereby building a world that is completely different from reality. Borrowing Gothic exaggerated, dark, horrifying and mysterious external forms, we combine expressionism and black humor . Some of the characters in his camera may be aliens in people's eyes, and they are neglected. They are in the mud and their hearts are facing the sun. Romanticism has a particularly strong meaning.
The most typical representative of this is "Edward Scissor Hand". Edward had a pale and thin face, messy short hair, ignorant eyes, and a pair of hands made of scissors.He has a strange face, lives alone in the castle, and his behavior is not understood by ordinary people, but he has a heart of truth, goodness and beauty. Falling in love with human girls but being unable to be with them is a complete tragedy and a surreal fairy tale. Tim Burton interprets the warm fairy tale through Gothic techniques to express his yearning for a better society, and at the same time has a critical reality effect, achieving spiritual resonance with the audience.
"Love and Death" is the theme that Tim Burton is best expressed and the ultimate topic he wants to present to the audience. Even though Emily in the animated movie "The Bride of Zombie", even though she experienced the most evil betrayal, her death has not taken away her innocence. She turned into a butterfly to fulfill her lover, warmed the world with love, and immersed everyone who watched this story. The world of the vassal in the movie is dark and gloomy, while the world of the undead is more energetic and colorful.
In Tim Burton's few bright-colored movie "The Big Fish", he seriously and optimistically explores the proposition of death. How will you face it if you know when and how your life will end? "Foresee the cause of your own death, there is nothing terrible in life. Because you know that nothing else in this world can kill you." Tim Burton used a touching story between a father and son to dedicate it to us who have almost lost the happy dream of childhood.
Darkness is just the explicit attribute of Tim Bolton's fairy tale, and warm sunshine is his most moving background. He expressed profound human concern in absurd and fantasy, and directly criticized social injustice through his gloomy and terrifying style, and used humorous and ridiculous attitude to express all the loneliness in the world, and put love on the cloak of coldness. He said: "One person's madness is the daily life of another person."
