Williams-Tim Burton in a Bucket

    I wrote a lot. I delved deeper into movies than I really wanted to. I discovered the World of Tim Burton, and I enjoyed it.

    I have never written so much for a class, except my creative writing class, than this one. Trying to come up with original ideas and thoughts once week was a struggle and most times a failure. I mean it was nice being able to sit down once a week to watch a movie, but it was a true struggle to analyze a movie like I would analyze a book. In all honesty, I hated it. Movies are not really my genre, but I will admit that I love Burton, which is why I took the class, I guess. I, however never expected for it to be so taxing. On the other hand, I learned that my writing skills need some expanding and that my thinking needs to be a little more critical, which I guess is the point of this class. I enjoyed trying something new, though I will probably avoid film classes from now on.
     So I wish we took more time in class to talk about cannibalism in Sweeney Todd. I know, it is strange but it has always been an interesting topic for me. I mean of all the ways to commit murder, to make people feel less than themselves, to subserve the upperclass society why did Lovett choose grinding theM up into meat pies and why did Todd agreed with it?
    Alright, so what I pretty much learned from Tim Burton is that world sucks and there is not much you can do about it. It is a depressing and cynical way to view life, but Burton show the harsh reality the world that most people try to ignore. I disagree with somethings, like the boring synchronization of suburbs seeing as I am from one, but others like about how people treat outsiders and strange ones are kind of on point. I was intrigued that man as strange as his movie characters can be so loved in this type of society. Yes, people call Burton strange, but they love him for it. Burton's characters are hated, but excepted by other outfits that they use to create a family. Burton uses his actors to create a family that truly accepts him, which is why think many of Burton's movies are so touching.
     I never realized how poor my memory was until I took this class. I would set out to start do my blog, I would proceed to open my computer and everything. I would then gracefully fall into a deep slumber and wake to a blank screen and past due date. My memory would proceed to get worse. I would point blank forget to the statements at all. My roommate got so irritated at me waking in the morning at 2am screaming Tim Burton that she started to write Tim Burton on my mirror and my walls and text it to my phone. It was sweet, but I still forgot to do it. 
     Overall I really enjoyed this class. Would I take it again, I doubt it, but I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I think it is a class worth experiencing and I am glad I got the chance to do it.
