An artist. A husband. A legend.
If you love strange, weird, absurd and surreal movies, then
Tim Burton’s films are for you. He is one of the best directors for that
description. This is because Tim Burton embraces the different. He dwells in a
place where others dare not go. He is an iconoclast.
Being iconoclastic is one of Tim Burton’s fortes. He also
pairs up with very interesting talents, such as Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.
The odd pair makes up most of Tim Burton’s movies. And if you have seen some of
them, well let’s just say that you were in for a treat. Tim Burton plus those
two would be the perfect movie.
Tim Burton is diverse in his work. Ranging from the comedy
thriller “Beetlejuice” to the stop motion film “The Nightmare Before Christmas”.
Being this diverse, he is able to put his self in to the characters in the
movie. Just like Sally in “The Nightmare Before Christmas “he said in an
interview that "Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas is stitched
together because these are symbols of the way I feel. Being loosely stitched
together and constantly trying to pull yourself together, so to speak, is just
a strong feeling for me. In a great fairytale you always get these weird images
that are symbolic of something else."
To
those who do not know, one of the reasons why Helena Bonham Carter is always in
Burton’s films is because she’s his wife. That makes the both of them the
perfect weird couple in the history of relationships. This makes them capable
to work with each other comfortably. This in turn gives us great movies to
watch.
Tim
Burton is a legend in his own way. He is the only one out there of his kind. No
one can imitate Burton’s ways; we can only be inspired and influenced by his ‘strange
awesomeness’. He helps us realize that it is OK to be a little different. It is
OK to be who we really are. And that sometimes being different makes us
beautiful creatures.
