Corpse Bride

The movie Corpse Bride is a very charming yet macabre movie of how a shy, stumbling young man accidently marries a deceased bride. This movie is done by stop motion, yet is still very elegantly. With the grim aesthetic of the Victorian era, the living world is shown to be dull, gray, and practically lifeless while the Land of the Dead is full of color, and lively characters. The detail of every character and object is rich with also a grand orchestra, soft piano and jazz numbers to company. The plot of Corpse Bride is probably something you have heard before but with a strange twist. It starts with the wedding rehearsal of two families, the Van Dorts and the Everglots. The Everglots, the supposed rich family in the town, has arranged to marry…

In both Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Corpse Bride (2005), the characters were relatively ‘different’ from those that they were surrounded by, therefore making them strange and considerably odd in the eyes of people they came in contact with- there was sympathy, pity, indifference, sacrifice, attraction, jealously, repulsion, understanding, fear, and prejudice surrounding both these characters as they discovered the real world. Both films are extremely fairytale-like, which…

single film can cross over many genres and therefore cannot be put into a single category. For example Tim Burton’s movie Corpse Bride, released in 2005. It would be wrong to solely consider this a romance film, even though the conventions of the romance genre are greatly emphasised. Corpse Bride includes characteristics of a musical and a horror film. This assignment discusses the importance of genre in film and why genre can be greatly argued when it is applied to Corpse Bride to distinguish…

Looking at the film “Corpse Bride” and you notice that Tim Burton had a creative mind.

s which flies away. This movie, The Corpse bride, demonstrates them of love as a supernatural feeling. In a scientific world, dead people cannot fall in love with someone since they do not have their heart to beat for someone. But, this movie gives example of Emily who is a corpse bride and deeply loves Victor after he puts the weeding ring on her finger and thus expresses love as a supernatural feeling.. In contrast, I found Emily as a only character in a world of the dead…

After I watched iZombie, I remember one movie. That movie is Corpse Bride. I think both of them have some similar things and of course some differences. I watched Corpse Bride when I was still in High School.

Both Corpse Bride and iZombie was taking an undead woman as a main character. When the Corpse Bride make the woman dead and then make her alive…

For his next three films, Burton explores the fairytale world. In 2005, he produced and directed, along Mike Johnson, the stop-motion animated film Corpse Bride, with Johnny Depp as the voice of Victor Van Dort and Helena Bonham-Carter as the voice of Emily. The imagery of the film is similar to the imagery we see in The Nightmare Before Christmas, but the nature of Corpse Bride is more adult and dark. The film, which was a huge box office success, tells the story of Victor, who was practicing…

The Art of Tim Burton Creepy, eerie, dark, and weird are all words that describe Tim Burton.

In my opinion, Tim burton is an amazing and talented artist who puts amazing and insightful twists on stories that the average Joe wouldn't see or understand until looking into one of his films. His inspirational and…

that people tend to stick to status quo and try their best to be “normal” instead of being themselves. They treat this as an unsavory concept to our society. Tim Burton, however, takes an entirely different approach on his view of life and how we should live in it. Through the uses of color contrast and fantastical settings, he communicates the idea that this should be the status quo in our society. In the movies Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Corpse Bride, Tim Burton uses color…
