“and my soul from out that shadow
that lies floating on the floor
that lies floating on the floor
shall be lifted?
Nevermore…”
While I was doing research for my project,I was looking through scary,dark and strange things.Of course,there was no way I could miss Tim Burton's works.I can't say I am a huge fan of him,but his talent is undeniable and his works are a great source of inspiration all the time.
Last year I bought a book with collection of short poems that he wrote himself.Each story had an illustration,and while I was doing the research I also found small vinyl figures which were made based on these stories.I really enjoyed reading this small sketches,even my little sister,who is 7,got interested,but i decided it's not really apropriate for a girl of her age haha...
Last seshion at uni we were discussing our project and my classmate adviced me to watch "Vincent".This work is one of the earliest creations of Tim Burton.
The cartoon is done in classical "Burton" style,if you know what I mean :) While watching it,I felt strangeness and darkness of the story,even though I didn't really felt scared or uneasy.The character is an innocent child,he has a good family,animals love him and he enjoys playing his violyn,but on the inside boy is going crazy.His imagination goes way too far:he imagines himself as a full grownup actor Vincent Price(who is also a narrator of the story),who likes experimenting in making wax figures out of a living creature,and tries to be a Frankenstein having experiments on his own puppy.He is obsessed with stories of Edgar Allan Poe,and his delusions make him believe that he is a tortured artist.In the end all fantasies of Vincent come and "get" him,and he falls uncoscious on the floor,believing himself to be dead.Quite a vivid imagination for a 7 yr old boy huh...
