edward scissor hands


3. Tim Burton has a distinct visual style - oversized and anthropomorphic (looking like people) set pieces, unique camera angles (off eye-level), and "grotesque" looking people. How does this movie illustrate that style?

Tim Burton defiantly has his own style because all his animation if different than what we usually see as far as normalness I guess. He likes stuff being abnormally big and misshapen like heads and the tops of buildings being wider at the top than they are at the bottom.  As far as grotesque looking people Edward scissor hands had scars everywhere on his face and a leather suit that was all cut up with scissors for fingers.  In the nightmare before Christmas everybody had misshapen body parts and all the Halloween town people were all very grotesque by having masks, bugs, walking skeletons, ect. In the corpse bride the main character was a heart broke zombie that wanted to get married. For some reason he likes that kind of stuff but he somehow pulls it all together in the end to make a decent movie out of it even though if somebody was to describe his movie to me I would probably say I don’t want to watch that.
