| “I
guess you could say my style is a violent
reaction to working
at Disney.” —Burton
Director/ Producer Tim Burton is well known
in the world of cinema for his traditional
style of the reinterpretation and revitalization
of old characters and stories for display
to new generations.
His triumpths include “Batman,”
and “Sleepy Hollow” as adaptations
of works already made, and Edward Scissorhands,
whose main character is highly influenced
by a character of an earlier expressionist
film. He succeeds in the creation of dreamworlds
and characters as he plays with the casting
and the customes, on the other hand, there
seems to be an unbalanced preference for
the heroes on his movies since either they
are too vulnerable ("Edward Scissorhands",
"Sleepy Hollow") or they are just
way too coldblooded ("Batman").
