Poetry&Humour

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2006)

Once again, Tim Burton has written a beautiful poem. Watching this movie was like listening to a soft, old and creaky voice reciting an old poem about the dead. The dead have so many more colours than the living; the macabre is so funny and warm, the real world so cold and blue that the end of the movie is like awaking from a dream, rising from the dead - but somewhere in your heart, you wish you were still there, under the ground, laughing, shedding a tear, melting in front of the piano and dancing in a dark bar. Beautiful, heart-breaking and hilarious at the same time, and much brighter and happier than it would seem.
