Corpse Bride

While babysitting Paolo, we watched Corpse Bride, a weird but beautiful film by Tim Burton. Never really heard of him but I can easily be converted into a fan, because Corpse Bride is one of the more visually impressive films that I have watched. The story is also a bit unique, its not something that you will encounter a lot of times.

Its a story of mistaken status, in terms of whether you are among the living or dead. Victor, Johnny Depp, had it good bacause he was still alive but was able to cross over to the land of the dead. He mistakenly said his wedding vows in the presence of a ghost bride who is looking for a groom, so the bride claims him as her own.

The cinematography is beautifully gloomy, as if there is always a haze or fog present. The songs are a bit disappointing, they are not catchy if you will compare them to most of the songs on Land Before Time. All in all, its highly recommended. Its a beautiful movie minus the scare factor.

I thought its my first time to watch a Tim Burton film in Corpse Bride, but he made some files that I have already watched and I did not know he was the one who made them: Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhand, Batman Returns, Mars Attacks!, Planet of the Apes, and Big Fish, which I have a VCD but haven't watch yet. A wonderful collection that I did not realize I am already a Tim Burton fan.
