TIM BURTON IS BACK! with long time collaborator/frd Johnny Depp n' wife Helena Bonham Carter. : )
it's a homage to the old classic horror movies. a bit like sleepy hollow n' edward scissorhands, and that brings out the best of Burton as a director of the gothic genre.
the singing is amazing. and it's johnny depp's first time to sing on screen. as well as Alan Rickman. Jamie Campbell Bower is quite fascinating too. and Jayne Wisener recalls the Christina Ricci look in Sleepy Hollow.
it's a story about revenge eating up on itself. a love story, murder and horror added up together, quite comical too, all put into a musical. really i haven't seen a musical that can make your hair jump but all the while sends out lots of messages about humanity. There's no clear line between evil or good. Frankly, everyone in the film is quite nuts about one thing or another.
hope depp could get his oscar after the golden globes. he should have got that award after so many nominations... but oh well there are still lots of competitive actors like tommy lee jones, viggo mortensen and daniel day lewis... maybe johnny depp is the dark horse... we never know.
I'm still having this gothic craze. whenever tim burton's movie's out i got this craze. lol and i got myself a black and white stripe dress today. HAHA : ) it is quite a trend this summer. i'm going to stock up on this. saw one that i really want to buy already. a halter neck. hmmm : P
