Mars Attacks! (1996) Known for directing such treats as The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands and Mars Attacks! Tim Burton has become a well-known director, as far as the film industry is concerned, and personally his films rarely fail to impress.
A lot of his films tend to take on a Gothic style for the most part. The sets' which he produces are a slice of imagination pie that people can get lost in for a delicious moment... Aside from this the casting is also a vital part of his success. Batman Returns is a prime example. The characters are really brought to life in this film, albeit a bit unrealistic but that's what we want in his films, a bit of fairytale, they show you a new side to an actor that you had previously not considered. Danny DeVito as the Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer as Cat Woman bring the characters to life and really explore their personalities. I don't know if this is a result of Tim Burton's vision and grooming or a projection of the actors' abilities but it becomes a regular phenomenon within his movies making them ever more pleasing to watch.
Tim Burton has a talent to completely open the viewers mind to his vision through the lens. Every aspect of the design, from visuals to soundtrack, casting to set, seems to be focused on presenting his idea in the clearest way possible. His ability to translate his vision from imagination into these well-rounded movies is a talent that one can only be jealous of.
I recommend getting lost in one of his worlds for a few hours...
