Corpse Bride

I guess since the subtitles are so crappy, I have no other possibility than carefully listen to the dialogue which uses up my whole concentration so that I can’t comment about it at the same time anymore *sigh*

Oh my, I love the style of this movie *____* The slightly horror/gothic/victorian style, the lovely characters… especially Emily, hach *~* (I love the eye! Harr XD) And that english accent… arrr!

I have always been wondering what the so-called “Tim Burton”-style is. I have the impression that Tim Burton is the Kafka of the movies… everybody talks about the “Tim Burton”-style just like everything is kafkaesque, but you can’t really say what it’s exactly supposed to be. I guess the style is a mix of Nightmare Before Christmas and this movie – slightly dark, with those Burton-type asymmetrical characters and edgy spirals…

Hm, I liked Wallace & Gromit which was really, really funny – but I preferred Chicken Run… and I think that Corpse Bride deserved the Oscar more than Wallace & Gromit, even though it’s a close race. (Back then, I was glad that Wallace & Gromit got the Oscar though *hehe*)

By the way, I don’t see in which way Victor resembles Johnny Depp… I just can’t really imagine an overly shy and clumsy Johnny Depp XD

Number of movies waiting for me: 14.
