I just came back from town. Today is a public holiday and I decided to watch Frankenweenie. I always love Tim Burton's movie particularly his animation with stick body and big eyes plus the dark elements in his story lines.
This story is about the relationship between a boy, Victor and his dog Sparky. For me, it shows that nothing is impossible if you believe and work through it. Okay that's a little cliche. I love the story about a person unique personality and weirdness of the character such as Weird Girl and Mr Whiskers although it is not the main character in the story. The typical life of competition among humans to always want to win and try to outdo one another. The emotional bond you shared between your pet and reminds you how it is losing them, How science can surpass expectations. How it can be manipulated for one's desire. How weak human are when trouble comes to them. Fear of how people react and treat you, fear of being alone. Acceptance.
I would say, I love this movie for the message implied. But one thing bogged me.The second time Sparky died, did he come to life because of science or because of the existence of a higher power? ONe may think it's because of the electricity that cause him to be alive again. But remember, he was dead before and his master Victor was ready to let him go. Is it because of the mechanism of science? Or he is' permitted 'to be alive again. Why did Tim Burton choose to end up the story like that?
All I can say, this story is fantastic and I will watch it again. Awesome black & white stop-motion movie.
