“With this hand, I will lift your sorrows.
Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine.
With this candle, I will light your way in darkness.
With this ring, I ask you to be mine.”
Who else but Tim Burton could make Corpse Bride, a necrophiliac's delight that's fun for the whole family? Returning to the richly imaginative realm 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, ashen, and drearily Victorian mansions of the living, where young Victor Van Dort is bequeathed to wed the lovely Victoria . But the wedding rehearsal goes sour and, in the kind of Goth-eerie forest that only exists in Burton-land, Victor suddenly finds himself accidentally married to the Corpse Bride , a blue-tinted, half-skeletal beauty with a loquacious maggot installed behind one prone-to-popping eyeball. This being a Burton creation, the underworld of the dead is a lively and colorful place indeed, and Danny Elfman's songs and score make it even livelier, presenting Victor with quite a dilemma: Should he return above-ground to Victoria, or remain devoted to his corpse bride? At a brisk 76 minutes, Burton's graveyard whimsy never wears out its welcome, and the voice casting is superbly matched the film's gloriously amusing character design, guaranteed to yield a wealth of gruesome toys and action figures for many Halloweens to come.The "Corpse Bride" movie is another masterpiece from Tim Burton's dark, warped mind.The story told in the movie is very good and captivating. It is a story that you can easily immerse yourself into and a story that is romantic in a dark way. And it has that unique Burton touch to it, being dark, twisted, funny and yet straight and to the point. In "Corpse Bride" we have the usual outrageous and grotesque, yet lovable and adorable characters that only Tim Burton can manage to come up with. Just pay close attention to all the characters , and you will see there is so much detail and personality added to every single character in the entire movie.
Here are some beautiful clauses in the film:
Amily : I was a bride. (我曾经是个新娘)
My dreams were taken from me.,我的梦想被别人夺走了,
Well, now... (但是,现在...,
Now I've stolen them from someone else.,现在我却夺走了别人
的梦想,
I love you, Victor.,我爱你,维克特,
But you're not mine.,但你不属于我,
Here is a song Amily sang,it’s heartbreaking:
If I touch a burning candle I can feel the pain If you cut me with a knife it's still the same And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
For it seems that I still have a tear to shed If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain In the ice or in the wun it's all the same Yet I feel my heart is acheing
Though it doesn't beat it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead
Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed 蜡烛灼烧我不觉痛楚
利刃割过我也依然如故
听着她的心跳好象音符
而我的心儿早已入土
可如今它如此的痛苦
谁来告诉我这不过是虚无
为何我的眼泪还是流个不住
蜡烛灼烧我感觉不到痛楚
酷热严寒也依然如故
This is definitely a movie that you should treat yourself to watching,
if you haven't already seen it. I bet you will love it!
