Tim Burton’s Movie “Sleepy Hollow”
[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page report discusses Tim Burton’s 1999 movie, “Sleepy Hollow,” starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci and why it is considered by many critics (and fans) to be the best overall work he has produced. There are important cinemagraphic influences in “Sleepy Hollow” that have nothing to do with individual characters or storylines and everything to do with how light and image is manipulated to create a visual sense of questioning and mystery. The cinematography is lush yet foreboding. As a result of such remarkable visuals and the performance of Depp, so quietly spoken one feels like they must constantly ask him to repeat himself, the end result is something that comes close to being the ultimate horror-fantasy. Bibliography lists 2 sources and original work.

Tim Burton, Film Director
[ send me this essay ]
( 7 pp.) Film director Tim Burton says about his actors: "I love chameleons. I love actors who like to transform. He's a major transformer. He doesn't care how he looks. In fact, he wants to look worse than you want him to look, you know. So there's a real freedom to that. It just makes the process that much more fun and easy because you're not worried about vanities of any type. You just focus on trying to find the right tone. It's a very liberating process." The chameleon quality of this film director himself, is explored in this discussion. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
