Tim Burton on Corpse Bride and His Fascination with Death
(Filed under: Buzz)
ComingSoon.net has an interview with Tim Burton that covers the director's latest work, the animated movie Corpse Bride which comes out next week. As for his apparent fascination with death, Burton says:
I think dealing with the undead comes from growing up in Burbank, I think. It's sort of a suburban "Night of the Living Dead" during the day. I always liked monster movies, and I'm always fascinated by, again growing up in a culture where death is looked upon as sort of a dark subject and then living so close to Mexico where you see the Day of the Dead skeletons and it's all humor, music and dancing and sort of a celebration of life, in a way, and that always felt more like a positive approach to things. So I think I always responded to that, more than just this sort of dark, unspoken cloud in the environment I grew up in.
