5 Reasons Why Tim Burton is an Interesting Director
4. He partners with Helena Bonham Carter
After having a series of relationships, Burton met Helena Bonham Carter on the sets of ‘Planet of the Apes’, and he was in love with her. Helena is more than a lover for him. She is his muse. His love for her translates into the characters he writes for her. Or it could be the other way around, which is also pretty cool! Helena does full justice to the madness that Burton creates. They are a perfect match. They are not the regular muse and artist. He may not necessarily give her desirable characters. In fact, he is the complete opposite. He is obsessed with her and always gives her the most quirky character in the film.
5. He made the coolest Batman series
Tim Burton never liked graphic novels. He is not a comic book fan either, and still he made Batman and did it in the coolest possible fashion. That was probably because he was always fascinated by Batman and Joker. He made it with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, and it was quite an appreciated series. Burton paid a tribute to the fantastic silent film ‘Metropolis’ in this. In fact, Burton has borrowed a lot from the German Expressionist Movement in his cinema. He is helping in keeping it alive.
All the actors that work with him have the highest regard for his craft. Burton is not just a filmmaker; he is a magician! He is an artist who paints the quirkiest pictures. He is mad and drives everyone around him mad in a pretty cool way! His work has been consistently good and that is why he is one of the most interesting directors of Hollywood.
