The Story Of An Uncommonly Gentle Man

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2006)

Tim Burton, the director known for his visual concept of films and his dark Gothic style macabre films, has created a wonderfully sweet and beautiful film. With what seems a simple structure and screenplay actually has hidden, and obvious messages as well as a lot of major themes, again of which some are hidden at first glance. With repeated watching, new and unnoticed images first time round seem to crop up. This is a film that really touches on emotions and a film that people of any age can really reflect on. The talents of the then Â– new and rising star Johnny Depp touched the hearts of many people using very little dialogue but showing great emotions through use of movement and of his eyes. With the legend of horror Vincent Price playing his last proper role this sweet fairy tale almost fable is one to see and remember for years to come. I fully recommend it, its by far my favourite film for many reasons mostly the emotional impact and it fully deserves my rating of 10 out 10 in my opinion
