Tim Burton's Corpse Bride [Blu-ray]
Who else but Tim Burton could make Corpse Bride, a necrophiliac who is delightful fun for the whole family? Back to the fantasy realm full of stop-motion animation (after previous successes with The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach), Burton, with codirector Mike Johnson, invites us to visit the Dour, ash, and Victorian homes, unfortunately live, where young Victor Van Dort (voiced by Johnny Depp) is bequeathed to marry the lovely Victoria (Emily Watson). But the evidence of marriage goes wrong and, in the kind of Goth-odd forest that only exists in Burton-land, Victor suddenly finds himself accidentally married to the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), a blue, semi-skeletal beauty (as eyeball Burst pleasantly full bosomed remains!) with a loquacious worm installed behind a trend a.

    The spirit of Tim Burton must be a very strange place. Remember, this is that if you kill, you must work for social services in the afterlife (Ref: Beetlejuice). I am a social worker, so I know what it is! Men with scissors in his hands, Jack Nicholson as a sheet of Batman. . . This is a sick puppy of a director.
    So when you hear Mr. Burton is directing a film based on a folktale of Eastern Europe, where one of the heroines, heroines, mind you — is a corpse. . . . Furthermore, the rate of family is not what comes to mind.
    And, although animated, Corpse Bride is certainly not for the youngest, 9 or so and below. These characters look creepy. The title character has a habit of losing his eyes and speaking with the worm, Louie, who lives behind. Skeletons of dogs and people walking and talking in "Medium".
    However, like Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, older children will find the animations amusing and fascinating, and parents will be satisfied with the messages packaged in the film.
    Briefly, "Corpse Bride" is animated operetta in which Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), son of fishmongers, is engaged to Victoria (Emily Watson), daughter of nobles who are now penniless. Do not know each other, but accidentally meet and fall in love. When Victor stumbles on his complicated wedding vows at trial, is humiliated by a stranger to marriage (Richard E. Grant) and walks in the woods to practice. Quando si dice i voti, si pone l'anello su un ramoscello "che si rivela essere il dito di Emily (Helena Bonham-Carter), la Sposa Cadavere, che di salti naturalmente e felicemente lo informa si erano sposati. (She is very beautiful, in fact, dead or not).
    Much of the rest of the film is taken up by Victor trying to figure out how to get out of the underworld and Emily try to deny or are working or actively convince him to stay. Gradually, however, Victor finds out, much to his surprise, falls in love with Emily.
    Ultimately, viewers heard the lessons of good love, the main characters, primarily Emily and Victor, respectively, were prepared to sacrifice much for others, their love for each other. The importance of wedding vows is a central theme, and Victor especially gives long thought to whom his alliances lie, given what he has promised and to whom. And those who are motivated by greed as the character Richard Grant, often leaving empty handed.
    The comedy is brilliant. In one scene, Emily's friends in the pub "to make a rather think of the scene from Star Wars Cantina, given the number of odd-looking musicians. I do not know how well the operetta "mode works of animation, giving those characters in plasticine great way of expression, they are still limited in their ability to emote, and theater music can be best left to human faces. However, the score by Danny Elfman is beautiful as always.
    Let the wee more with other parents beside her, "March of the Penguins" and "Wallace & Gromit: The Search for the Were-Rabbit", and huddle with the rest of the children to see this magnificent film.

    Corpse Bride was the first Blu-Ray could not wait to see. I took the DVD and read several times and, as I knew the film inside and out, as well as problems with displaying the SD DVD on my HDTV, I was very happy to do a side by side comparison between the 2 versions.
    Corpse Bride on Blu-Ray completely blows the other Blu-ray that I have the water in terms of job creation. The sharpness is incredible and the difference between DVD and Blu-Ray is too obvious when you can make a comparison between the 2 directly.
    Blu-ray CB you can see the texture of the face of puppets', something certainly no DVD. You can also see on stage Skeleton Dance few pieces of metal holding the puppets together. On DVD you can see, but it is difficult or almost impossible to tell what the game is brilliant.
    As for the film is a love story of a twisted kind of Tim Burton.
    Definitely worth checking out as a film, but worth checking out what Blu-Ray is capable of.

    Tim Burton creates a stunning masterpiece that keeps all the parameters typical of his production. Combining the macabre and childish elements with stop motion animation techniques, Burton gives life to a fantastic story, as it did in 1993 with the superb Nightmare before Christmas.
    The store serves the director as an excuse to build another visual fantasy, supported by the votes of many of his favorite actors: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Albert Finney and Christopher Lee.
    Style ironic and funny Burton portraying death repeats itself, forming and obscure and complex world. The main characters are nothing but a dead bride, a colorful collection of skeletons, monsters and a shy and repressed young man.
    The plot of The Corpse Bride is based on a traditional Ukrainian tale about a girl murdered in her weeding day and waiting since then for her true love.
    In a village of Victorian England saw Victor Van Dort, a melancholic young man, pressed by his wealthy family, but ignorant to engage in a broken but aristocrat young woman named Victoria Everglot, whose parents despise but to address the DORTS Van economic problems with this convenience marriage.
    A proof of marriage at the home of Everglot, Victor goes to practice his vows, and accidentally wrote the words on the grave of his dead wife, who was waiting after his death for his true love words that magically its free willingness to be Happily Ever After.
    From this point, Victor made a trip to the land of the dead, with his new wife. There, everything seems more fun and colorful that "up there" where the living world is, unlike almost colorless, and aesthetic close to whites and blacks, keeping the stiffness and conservative style of the Victorian Age.
    Although the title suggests otherwise, The Corpse Bride is a sweet and sour love story with a poetic capacity very suggestive and dreamy. True to his provoking spirit of Burton Paris on surprising us, letting his usual black humor to disperse over oppressive atmosphere while the emotional theme of the film, the loss of love, is told as a musical.
