Beetle Juice

after viewing this movie i can say full-heartedly that this is my favorite out of the three we are watching. this is my favorite for many reasons, mainly for the excellent acting, cinematography, and the plot all in itself. why do i like these things more in this movie than the other two? in Edward scissor hands the whole movie seems to be under a cloud. almost as if the whole movie is a dream that can never come true. the corpse bride is another rant for another day which we will not mention in this blog for after seeing it i wanted to go through every forest in Europe and shoot every twig with a 12-gauge. enough about that though lets go back to good movies, like beetle juice. one might say that the main character is the couple who had just died, it is my belief that the main character is Adam (Alec Baldwin) because Tim Burton always has this role play through all of his movies. the role I'm talking about is the confused man that is introduced into a new world and led by a woman. the woman in this movie which leads him into this world is Barbara (Geena Davis). in this movie our main male character is a little more aggressive and does most of the leading (first scene into the "other side"). the cinematography's is very obvious to a person watching the movie. very exciting scenery, very exciting characters, and very exciting music, this all leads to a cartoonish feeling. the characters seem as if they were drawn into this world not by fate but by pencil. the other side presents this well with the characters ridiculous costumes which are very humorous. the plot of this story is a very different outlook on the dead which i think every person should see. besides, beetle juice is probably the best played role and the funniest role since Jesus Christ in "Jesus Christ super star". if i were to say anything about this movie it would be this, "its a must see if you want to live tomorrow" i rate it a 5/5 Dom points.
