Helena

These collaborations would set up a long line of movies the two would do together along with his, now ex, wife Helena Bonham Carter. The three would go down as a dream team, with every movie they make being a hit. These movies include The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Sweeney Todd (2007), Dark Shadows (2012), and many more. Burton and Carter were married in…

Burton is married to Helena Bonham Carter, who is in many of Timothy's movies. She has been In Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, Alice through the looking glass, and Corpse Bride to name a few. Burton liked Johnny Depp in the movie 21 jump street, so he asked him to be in…

In Helena Maria Viramontes’ Under the Feet of Jesus, she uses selection of detail, figurative language and tone in order to describe how Estrella’s character develops over time,and through learning new things. The author uses selection of detail in order to describe Estrella’s development as a character. How she does so is by first stating that she “hated when things were kept from her.” She clearly does not like things that she cannot understand, she feels hatred towards the tool box because…

works by going beyond social norm standards. They have been critiqued because of their gender roles and are expected to not disobey a man, yet they have proven to not let that be a barrier towards their goals and success. Both Sandra Cisneros and Helena Maria Viramontes use various narrative strategies like the Control and Exercise of Chicana Sexuality, Bildungsroman Novel, and the Reinterpretation of Myths to break with traditional stereotypes of women as passive and subservient to men. In…

play. In William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,’ Ophelia’s life seems tragic, but for her death to truly be tragic, she had to realize her powerlessness without the men in her life. Ophelia does not have many options as a woman in a patriarchal society, and Helena Bonham Carter’s juxtaposition of Ophelia’s childlike nature with the…

The two versions of Shakespeare's Hamlet that I will be contrasting today are Zeffrelli's Hamlet film from 1990 and Gregory Doran's Hamlet film from 2009. These two films, while the same script couldn't be any more different then they are. While Zeffrelli's Hamlet is set in a historically accurate Denmark, with elaborate costumes, elegant castles, swords and horse drawn carriages; Doran's Hamlet is set in modern 21rst century Denmark, with T-Shirts and jeans, guns, and cameras. Beyond the time…

Statement of Intent My first piece is a creative writing that shows a character being present in a slum similar to, from the characters present in the poem ‘The Blessing.’ Through this I have shown his struggles. My second piece of writing is a film review on Tom Hooper’s ‘The king’s speech’. It shares my thoughts about the film. Creative writing The drops from a leaking container fall on my face and awaken me. I wake up laying on the ground and I’m unable to recognise my surroundings. In my…

definitely sets Burton aside as an auteur is his unapologetic attitude towards featuring the same actors. It seems as though Burton likes to hire actors that have no vanity, hence why he has a famously known recurring cast consisting of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham…

Dead Sexist Fish Crap: A Film Review of Tim Burton’s Big Fish Big Fish shows Will (Billy Crudup) trying to discern whether his father’s fantastic stories are true, or if he was having an affair on his mother. Throughout Will’s life, his father, Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney) has told him absurd stories from his life. While Will was enchanted with these stories as a small child, he now holds an extreme amount of resentment towards his father and suspects him of having an affair…

these articles, I learned that the outcome of the review is dependent on the audience the reviewer is trying to appeal to. Cinderella as directed by Kenneth Branagh which starred Lily James as Cinderella, Cate Blanchett as her wicked stepmother, and Helena Bonham Carter as her fairy godmother stuck to the original theme from 1950 in which Cinderella won over Prince Charming, but it also presented a somewhat magical approach in empowering young girls. Ella’s dying mother encouraged her to have…
