Today, in the film industry has been developed include famous director often have their own living subjects, such as Tim burton, however, for years like one day to favor the gothic film is rare. Unlike other goth films, which aim to dazzle people with dark, cruel and terrifying scenes or attempt to make people understand the complexity and depth of the world in tragedy, burton has no intention of creating a fantasy world for others. This paper analyzes the gothic elements in burton's works from three aspects: the expression form of gothic elements in his films, the tenderness of gothic narration and gothic connotation.
Today, in the film industry has been developed include famous director often have their own living subjects, however, such as "Hollywood acting" Tim burton years like one day to favor the gothic film is rare. Originally from Disney, burton worked as an animator for animated films, so much so that in later film making, burton apparently continued his career as an animator. Most of his works are intermingled with reality and dreams, full of magical and daring imaginations. Strictly speaking, the gothic film is not a specific type, Tim burton's film should be a gothic elements. And burton, the biggest characteristic is that, with other gothic elements of the movies or to put in a lot of money, with dark and cruel, horrific scene to stimulate people's attention, or to make people understand the world in the tragedy of complex and profound, burton and not intentional to create a fantasy world for others, of his movies is more like a child to draw enchanted self. ? Tim burton's special doesn't mean he's not imitate or study, in today's market, Chinese culture is actually not a lack of hero fantasy book series, martial arts novels, literature, in the film industry is not a lack of strong personality and acting director of the live audience, and the market, for audience is keen to fantasy and dark. However, for a variety of reasons, the development of gothic films in China has been hindered. Thus Tim burton this however the gothic elements, but it can make tender feelings of strangeness film pattern undoubtedly will become China's gothic breakthrough of an important export. Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to further explore the formation and manufacturing process of gothic elements in burton's films.
No matter whether there is a profound exploration of the spiritual world of the main characters and the meaning of human self-existence behind a gothic film, it is undeniable that the most important element of gothic is to stimulate the audience's senses.
Burton is most impressed by the film, which is designed to be strong. In the comic cartoon zombie bride, he still conveys a sense of sepulchral terror to the audience. Young victor is undoubtedly a life in the dead man, however, erroneously met dead long girl Emily, and connects the grave and Yang community is eerie forest roads, in the forest, dead branches of the trees towering, trunk, white around the grave on the ground, it is suggested to victor distance is more and more distant from the real society, more and more close distance from hell. And the moment victor hangs his wedding ring on a dead branch, he goes to hell and sees the skeletons dancing. Horror scenes like these have been featured in films such as burton's Alice in wonderland.
Voice is also one of the important means of narration in gothic films. In sleepy hollow, burton can claim to have perfected gothic sound. To the sheriff was beheaded a as an example, the first is the sheriff in the cemetery and protagonist crane conversations, at this time the score to the cello weak, and mixed with sheep queasy, low hum and getting closer and closer to the thunder, and the sheep run hoofbeat is started because of panic, this means that the headless knight line lives, is approaching, in this did not see its person, smell its voice first way apply colors to a drawing the atmosphere of terror. As the headless knight emerged, his horse began to whine, and the sheriff gave a loud gasp and gasp of terror and despair. The sound of the headless knight cutting the sheriff's head with his sword made every step of the decapitation clear. In the end, with the headless rider riding off, crane fell heavily to the ground, and the whole process was fully and truly presented in the way of auditory stimulation, with great artistic expression.
Tim burton as an autistic genius, is no stranger to lonely experience. Loneliness is an important narrative theme in many of his films. Long before the British born "? harry potter, the famous children's literature writer roald darfur in" Charlie and the chocolate factory "fully showed his ingenious conception. This also makes the subsequent remake meet with seemingly insurmountable difficulties. The imagination of the original work is so fantastic that it is easy to transform the original work into a flow picture with flat plot and lack of creativity with a little carelessness. For Tim burton, however, he have to do is not just simply remake, but the repeated perusal, to master the premise of the story he essence, add personal imagination to make a new creation. This was agreed upon by the people who worked together on the film. After complete build of the story, in choosing Willie wonka star, burton again without hesitation? chose Johnny Depp. For burton, willy? wonka is not a man like his rigorous dentist father, but a real, unexpected, "freak" everywhere. And personality is also prominent, and there have been a number of cooperation with burton Depp is undoubtedly the most appropriate candidates, in respect of the modelling of wonka, is apparently nobody understand by reference to the same superstar Michael?
In "Charlie and the chocolate factory", Mr Wonka is a tortured by loneliness monster, under the control of strict father, wonka's childhood is a nightmare, so he fled from the family and created their own great achievement, namely his chocolate kingdom, but in the end he want, but the chocolate factory entrusted to a trustworthy children, to rediscover his father's favor. Because wonka in childhood have no proper warmth, in adulthood and because of his strange and by others as a heterogeneous, itself is tired of dealing with the hypocrisy of the adult, so wonka extremely like a child, he has his own itself is still a wayward child, he on the little hero Charlie saw his yearning everything, he used his wealth to help Charlie family out of poverty, oneself also recovered the lost father, when he found a dentist father plastered with their pictures on the wall, suddenly realized that in fact always loves his father, since then life is no regret. Wonka finally obtained the warmth of the ending, is actually he had had for so many years of loneliness at the expense of, Mr Wonka, pale face, in fact, is the symbol of his daily life, he can't communicate properly with others, indifferent to the sufferings of others also, he can only put all his passion into the factory, the factory, the more bright, more highlights the wonka poor interpersonal relationships. Although the ending of Charlie and the chocolate factory as a children's film is bright and sunny, the pain of growing up in wonka behind it cannot be ignored.
Death is in the depth of fear of human beings. It means that people have to go back from nothingness to nothingness. Similarly, in big fish, burton tells the cruelty of death with a story full of magic and metaphor. For will, the hero, and most of his sons, the tall, powerful father as a child is an omnipotent god. As he grows older, the father's role will gradually fade away and even become the object of contempt of his children. His father, Edward, had spent his life telling fantastical adventures that he had made up, repeating them so often that they were embarrassing and repulsive. Will was naturally contemptuous of this, but all fathers would die one day, and only when his father was dying, and only when his life was dead, would his son think again, who was he? What did he do? How would he evaluate his life? Will now despite the adult world is no longer tired father beautiful fairy tale, the colorful was gone, death in for understanding between father and son, at the same time, also makes will truly realize it, for their loved ones, there is no need to distinguish between so-called true and false, those who give life rainbow color, sometimes than presents you with pale life the truth are more worthy of respect and trust. No matter how well a son grows up, the death of a father means a change of fortune. The same is true of Edward scissorhands, who, despite being a robot, has a heart as sensitive as a human. His helplessness and loneliness actually began with the death of his "father" old scientist. That Edward had not been built perfect, he can only live alone in the old scientist bequeathed to his black castle, once he's out of your black castle, no father's blessing, he can only be unprepared to live among people's prejudices, and he finally choose the way to go back to the black castle is to pretend death, because death is the only the most decisive split. It is precisely because of the cold image of death that the audience can feel how beautiful the story presented by the father in big fish is, and how poetic the love between Edward scissorhands and king in Edward scissorhands is, because fear of death gives birth to the courage to cherish the moment and face life.
Than the foregoing is a warm and bright color film, the elder brother in "sleepy hollow" flavour is undoubtedly more thick, specially for thick red blood close-up shots, the scene of the sky blue dark under the fog, the highlight of full-bodied amorous feelings of the middle ages, they created a charm mysterious dark atmosphere, coupled with "the headless knight" hand up sword fell off the sheriff's head of bloody screen, the actor's makeup and dress also fully embodies the gothic characteristics of The Times. It should be said that "sleepy hollow" fully continues the elements, mood and beauty of goth films explored by christensen since the birth of goth films such as "sorcery in the past" and maonaugh in "nosferatu the vampire". "Sleepy hollow" of the book is "the father of American literature," said the Washington Owen's classic "sleeping valley legend", the book itself is full of breath of terror. But there's something romantic and dreamy about it, like the romance between katrina and Ryan. This is burton's most handy story. The story is full of mysterious and frightening elements of hate. The first is about the legend of the headless knight. According to the legend, the headless knight killed people again and again because his head was cut off by others in the war, so he was haunted by huge hatred and tried to find his head by beheading others. In crane's case, the truth is that katrina's stepmother's hatred of her father, rich guy vatlaso, for seizing her family's property is what really matters. In order to highlight the film gives a person the unease, manufacturing burton is a kind of attitude makes the stage to decorate the landscape of the interior, while the exterior has chosen a British clearing, branches, tombstone, pagan symbols such as jointly create a feeling of deep, dark, and this kind of creepy again and finally crane and katrina escape sleepy hollow in New York for the end of all's well that ends well is in stark contrast.
Gothic elements in the works for Tim burton can't just stay on the surface description of image type, and should be deep implication of his detailed in this paper. The emotional depth of burton's films shows that his films have a unique aesthetic. The first thing burton has to explain is the warmth of family. Locked away by his parents as a teenager and unable to communicate well with his grandfather, burton spends much of his time alone reading horror books and movies, so that he actually craves a harmonious parent-child relationship. For example, Charlie's family enjoyed being together in poverty and poverty. For example, Edward loved will, and the old scientist loved Edward's father. The second is kindness. Burton once used the light of night as a metaphor for the marginal figures in his films. For burton, the shape of the eccentric, eccentric person, in fact it is possible that the flesh and blood, such as Edward scissorhands ugly weird and natural disposition is timid, he is willing to cut out beautiful hairstyle and gardening for others, but in others still have misunderstanding and prejudice to him, he didn't want to hurt anyone in the past, but chose to leave silently. When king showed affection for him, he considered that he could not hug his beloved woman because of his scissorhands so as not to hurt her. On the contrary, the well-dressed "normal people" might instead have a selfish, cold heart, such as challenging the parents of the other children in the chocolate factory with Charlie, who not only had their own shortcomings, but passed them on to the next generation. And as in the "corpse bride" strangulation Emily happiness of those people, they will be a girl eager to the truth of killing and nobody feels responsible for this, if not victor, pure and kind girl Emily would do for love and marriage and can only be a forever growing corruption of zombies.
In recent years, there have been many scholars to focus onto? Tim burton's film works, Tim burton in his own way for people to shape the individual entanglements constantly and do not break tenderness of alienated world, however, to express his alternative interpretation of the gothic, we should not simply to look at. For ordinary people in the world of hard and pain, especially topics such as loneliness, death, and hatred, Tim burton is has deep experience with compassion, he the gothic elements in the movie to stimulate the audience is not so much in fear, than to give the audience a sense of security. To a large extent, burton is reflecting hope with goth, purifying people's minds with movies, and implying the possibility of love and ultimate redemption with a spiritual power.
