Genre/Atmosphere. - What is the tone?
The tone of this movie is quite dark and gothic, as most of Tim Burtons' films are. However, the film is beautifully done. The backdrop of dark, cold, Victorian England is perfect for a horror feel to the movie. Although this movie lacked on the 'horror' side of it all, it was absolute gore, and heaps of it. Bright red blood was the only colourful thing used throughout the film, even though it was very graphic; there was nothing scary about the movie. I would say throughout the whole movie, I felt comfortably uncomfortable. If that makes any sense? If not, my meaning for it is, the parts that made me feel uncomfortable was the eerie music, the wet and stormy weather, and how throughout the whole movie, the colouring was dull, and the songs chosen were quite spooky, especially the way they pronounced the lyrics. However, I still felt comfortable because it was such a well done movie, the actors suited the characters pretty perfectly, and the singing (by most of the actors) was fantastic.
