Tim Burton is a Genius

I read this article on Buzzfeed a few weeks ago.

Ranking of Tim Burton's Magical Scenes

   It made me realize just how awesome and talented Tim Burton really is. He does many movies that you can instantly tell are his but always some that come as a little bit of a surprise.
Here are some of my favorite movies of his and why they are so cool.

The Nightmare Before Christmas:

    This movie has a lot of memories associated with it for me. It was my Grandma's favorite Disney movie, when she passed away it was hard to watch it again. I love this because it is so different from any other Disney movie out there. The songs are all classics and are written so well. My favorite has to be, This is Halloween at the very beginning of the movie. I also love the scenery and imagery that is in this movie. Everything a little details that are very intricate and special.


Big Fish:
 
     I haven't watched this movie in such a long time but it's making my list anyways. The special thing with this movie is that you can't really tell that it was directed by Tim Burton. It is so unlike any of his other movies. It just doesn't seem like the stereotypical "Tim Burton" movie. The story itself is Tim Burton-like, in that it is very quirky and strange.

Sweeney Todd:

      I love this musical! It has to be in my top 5 for sure. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are absolutely fantastic. They both have pretty good singing voices and they just bring their own flair to any role. The two of them together have perfect chemistry in every movie. What makes this movie so great is the emotion in every song. The blood is so fake in this movie, but that just adds to the emotion and look of the movie.


Of course, I could continue to talk about so many more movies. I haven't even grazed the surface of Tim Burton's genius. If I were to talk about more movies, this post would take hours to read. Tim Burton's imagination and talent is the most unique out there. He will continue to make amazing movies and art. His work will live on way longer than he will and that is a true testament to his work.
