Response to "Vincent"

      The second movie is Vincent that was created by famous director Tim Burton in 1982. The movie is about a 7 year-old boy Vincent Malloy. It seems that Vincent has the delusional disorder because he pretends to be the actor Vincent Price. He imagines that he is the owner of the house, and he has a dead life. Besides, he thinks that her sister’s dog is a zombie, so he conducts some experiments on the dog. He never leaves the house and is separated from his beloved wife. In his imagination world, he regards himself as a real tortured artist, and we can see that he does many horrible things. Finally, his mother tells Vincent that he needs to go outside and has some fun. His mother’s words remind him of the reality, and his delusion reaches its peak. He is afraid that he will be tortured by someone in the world.

       Both real world and mythical world happen together in the movie, and the narrative is strongly conveyed by the songs. From these songs, we can not only feel the nature of a boy, but also experience the isolation and coldness of the horrible scene.

       From this movie, I just shocked by the children’s brain. The power of the imagination is too strong so that sometimes we cannot have the same empathy with them.
