Corpse Bride
Tim Burton’sCorpse Bridehas two very different worlds, and colors them as such.
The other is a completely different stage of life, the Land of the Dead.
Victor is set up in an arranged marriage with Victoria, which in itself is inherently restrictive.
The stripped-down color mimics this constricting tendency, giving theTim Burton moviea distinct visual element.
In contrast,the Land of the Dead does not have these same restrictions.
Their colorful world mirrors this structure, wherein characters are free and shown in color.
This servesCorpse Bridewell by keeping the film whimsical rather than downright depressing.
Directed by Mike Johnson and Tim Burton, Corpse Bride is a stop-motion fantasy-horror musical released in 2005. Set in the Victorian Era in England, a groom named Victor accidentally weds Emily, a skeletal woman, while practicing his vows alone in a forest. Whisked away to the Land of the Dead, Victor attempts to help Emily with the circumstances surrounding her fate while trying to escape his new temporary undead home.
