Corps Bride

the first thing that broadly stand out in this film is the character's shapes, it adds to the story a little but gets quite annoying after awhile. why couldn't the main character at LEAST have normal arms? also color scheme (which has been noticed in the other 2 films) was very noticeable but very, how would you say... emo? the world is all black and white with gray shading but the underworld o thats color central, ridiculous! in the other 2 movies we watched the music fit perfectly with the surroundings and you almost didn't even notice, it was so natural. in this movie however i wanted to shoot myself during the "corpse bride" song, terrible. these songs also have a strong connection with "the nightmare befor christmas". it is to my belief he made this movie for his viewers, not for himself. a sellout if you will, this is when i stopped watching tim burton movies, from here on out they all have this cheesy feel to them. well enough about that, lets get to the horrible jokes in this movie. my god these jokes are like if carrot top and eddie Murffy made a T.V. series. they were so cheesy i wanted to fast forward some parts. the movie made some money i hear though, surprisingly.  probably off all the kids who made a religion of nightmare before christmas and hot topic shoppers. i probibly shouldent be so mean, somebody must have writen this play/story and its a nice story, just presented like a 3rd grade play. over all i would probibly give this movie a 1/5, the one if for the story and effort

Alfred Hitchcock

While we were in this unit i've noticed one of Hitchcock's techniques, his ability to show a person something and not have to say a single thing for them to know what's going on. you can see this a tiny bit in "the 39 steps". an example is the part when the woman is stabbed, we pretty much assume right off the bat that the assassins did it but if you think about it anybody could have done it. its more prominent however in rear window with the beginning scene, but he is still self concise of his own talent, why? he tells the audience with the phone call, but we would obviously tell by the pictures. what he could have done for us to know how long the leg would take to heal is a doctors note, but thats beside the point. he broadly shows his talent with the movie "vertigo" when he uses the scene to tell almost the complete story. there are barley any words spoken and you know exactly what's going on, your even more intrigued than if he just told you. one website that i full hearted believe with is this one about Hitchcock's film technique. that website pretty much speaks what was spoken here and adds additional info that i didnt touch on. Well, thats Hitchcock for ya!
