a masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2005)

This movie is a masterpiece of the human condition! It taps in to the most basic human ideal of wanting to be accepted and loved by others no matter how different you are. I love this movie because the main character played by Johnny Depp has many layers. He can look scary, but yet, be child like with his sensitivity. Tim Burton has done a genius job in directing this film. The look of the film is from another world. Its an explosion of color. The people, plants and animals have almost Technicolor look to them.Its middle America meets Alice in Wonderland. The lighting in the film is also ingenious; many scenes in Edwards world are dark and have a limited pallet of color. Scense in the town have a more festive array of color and natural lighting. This film has a fairy tale look, that can apeall to the young and the old. I strongly recommend this movie and hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
