The movie BeetleJuice delightfully utilizes the interesting aspects of the afterlife, and the causes of the afterlife to build a clever, and mind churning feature film. Tim Burton infuses comedy with death in such a way that delivers an unrecognized approach to death in way humankind has never seen. For instance there was a scene of an undead football team that died in crash,and the urgency of trying to figure out their real coach was suddenly stopped by recognizing that the team " didnt survive the crash". The comedy of the scene was that the team wandered aimlessly around the afterlife not quite knowing the state of themselves yearning for *A* coach. Taking orders and commands was what they were used too, so anyone with a boss type attitude was greeted with the title "COACH" . The death in the living world would've been devastating to the the town they came from, and probably caused the coach to never coach again after he recovered from his vital state from said crash. Families would've been griefstricken for rest of their lives, of course we don't see the mourning in the movie, but one can conclude such assumptions. Another scene that shares similar characteristics , was the scene where the main characters meet a man completely flatten by what it seems to be , a truck ,a huge freaking truck. This man was in tatters, like literally , it wouldve been more vile if tim burton wouldve produced this movie this year with the new effects the movie industry has been utilizing in horror films. Imagine the scene of the accident, people freaking the absolute fuck out , and going nuts, because a man was literally flattened by a semi truck, with guts bursting out of his head, torso etcc.... the guy had freaking tire tracks on his torso. I wouldve been so traumatized i wouldve froze in my steps asking god to rip my eye ballif i wouldve witnesses this scene, but in Beetlejuice, we dont see how the living world reacts, we only see the acceptance of his new features in the afterlife. He was hung from a zip line like a polo shirt outside drying on the laundry line or whatever you call it. (i have a dryer, and my mom loves me to much) What i'm Getting at is that , death is protrayed in this movie as if was the door the newly refined way of life , that the living world could never quite grasp fully. Acceptance of EVERYTHING including death.
