蒂姆·伯顿
好莱坞独行怪侠蒂姆·伯顿
蒂姆·伯顿出生于1958年8月25日，从小由于受到良好的“照顾”而拥有封闭和孤独的童年生活。于是，小伯顿一直沉迷于个人世界，喜欢用绘画表达自己的感受和生活。后来，他在在加州艺术学院学习艺术，在得到迪斯尼公司赞助给年轻动画人的一笔奖学金后，他从此开始正式学习和从事动画工作。他最初为迪斯尼公司的《狐狸与猎犬》之类的主流电视动画片工作，但这些并不能发挥他特异的个人灵感的优势，于是迪斯尼给他一定的自由，让他从事自己的项目。
好莱坞有一个流行的说法，喜欢蒂姆·波顿（TimBurton）的电影的人都是一群孤独的人，因为蒂姆·波顿就是一个生性孤僻的人。因为童年时代的不如意，所以他一生追求怪异、前卫、黑暗的境界，所以他爱死了坏小孩，所以他的每个主角都面无血色，所以他才在内心深处渴望自己变得坏一点，再坏一点，去拍色情片吧，去拍恐怖片吧，别管他妈的什么艺术不艺术，拯救不拯救的了……要命的是，他太有天分，许许多多的好片子等着他去拍，他没空拍烂片，他没有机会变坏。
因为孤独，追求黑暗
蒂姆·波顿小时候常常被父母锁在屋子里，后来，又离开父母跟年迈的祖父一起居住。那正是他顽劣的青春期的时候，一个老人明显不是他叛逆的对手。理所当然的，蒂姆·波顿的世界被小人书和恐怖电影包围。和许多孤独的人一样，蒂姆·波顿的内心世界丰富多彩，又极度黑暗，就好像当一个头破血流的小孩蘸着自己伤口上的血画出一朵玫瑰，玫瑰的色彩很美，可是也很恐怖。
八十年代早期，蒂姆·波顿先后做出两部短片———《文森特》和《弗兰肯维尼》，一部是对恐怖片演员文森特的致敬，一部是《弗兰肯斯坦》的儿童改编本。这种怪异而恐怖的风格追随了蒂姆·波顿一生。因为个性太强烈，这些给儿童看的片子被永远禁播。然而，这个时候，蒂姆·伯顿的鬼马风格、天马行空的想象已经冒出苗头，他得到机会拍摄《大冒险》，在票房上取得极大成功。
票房是好莱坞的通行证，年轻的蒂姆·波顿成为好莱坞的新星。紧接着超自然喜剧《甲虫汁》的前卫让他在动漫届脱颖而出。是美国人太孤独，还是蒂姆·波顿太天才？他在自己的一部又一部电影里打造自己的黑暗帝国。尽管在拍摄《蝙蝠侠》时与华纳公司闹出不合，他的电影一直卖得很好。而卖得不好的电影，1994年纪念好莱坞传奇默片导演的《艾德·伍德》也入围了戛纳电影节并获最佳影片提名。
蒂姆·波顿是黑暗，可是他又总在黑暗之中带给人一点点希望，好像是在黑暗尽头的一线光。剪刀手爱德华面色惨白，因为自己天生的缺陷永远不能拥抱自己心爱的姑娘，但是那些色彩艳丽的大街，大街上的房子，房子里女人们花花绿绿的衣衫，透露出理想的气息。而在最黑暗的《无头骑士》里，人头像瓜果一样被砍下，妇女、小孩无一幸免。而波顿也不去玩弄紧张恐怖，只是悠闲自得地向观众的忍受能力挑逗着。除了主人公以外，所有人的被杀似乎都是无所谓的，理所当然的，既不用你紧张也不用你兴奋。而在结尾，蒂姆·波顿转过身来，含情脉脉地向正在二十一世纪门槛上的观众致意；更不用提2003年的《大鱼》，时间在主人公的面前停止，母亲抱着即将干死的父亲泡进浴缸，于是父亲就变成一尾自由的鱼……
制造自己的梦想
很多喜欢蒂姆·波顿的片子的人会对你诉说，他们对生活是多么热爱。他们有着无穷无尽的热情，他们的乐观主义已经超过常人的想象了。在《荒唐小混蛋历险记》里，主人公在做过一场赢得去法国旅行的机会的梦之后醒来，脸上并没有失望的神情，因为他的现实生活跟梦幻一样充满魔力；当《艾德·伍德》被评论认为是一个野人的时候。艾德依然在电影里乐观向上；而《大鱼》里始终洋溢的灿烂阳光、什么都可以做到的伊万·麦奎格更是集中了我们能梦想到的一切美好的事物。即使是天生有着剪刀手的爱德华也是乐观向上的好青年———他聪明到对人们保持机警，但又乐观到对他们敞开心胸去信任他们。
蒂姆·波顿的电影暧昧不明在于他想想解决生活中的基本问题———通常是成熟的标志。但是这种暧昧也往往跟青春期有关。社区是徒劳的，学校是没用的，但是唯一的安全的地方———家庭是个烂地方……我们是那么，那么孤独。这个时候，蒂姆·波顿给我们一些时刻，展现电影的魔力……一个又一个故事就像充气公仔，吹一口气，哗，长颈鹿和狮子王就出现在你面前！
事实上，蒂姆·波顿不是一个讲故事的高手，因为他总是牺牲情节、人物和可能性来满足他的想象力的需要。蝙蝠侠在他的战斗机里扫射丑客的时候，丑客还可以从他的裤子里抽出一杆长枪来击落蝙蝠侠的战斗机？还一枪就搞定了？蝙蝠侠设备可真够烂的！艾德·伍德忽然之间遇到麻烦，需要在大白天跑到酒吧里喝一杯？他那种超乎正常人想象的乐观主义跑哪里去了？
在说到《艾德·伍德》的时候，蒂姆·波顿说：“那时我在电影里试图表现的，是每个人都有自己的秘密生活方式，这是大多数人们不会理解的，也是很重要的事情。那种事情推着你前进。”
对蒂姆·波顿来说，什么是他的秘密生活方式？是那些锐利的棱角、那些乱七八糟的发型、以及一个充分内向Seussian式的奇思怪想倾斜的世界对不对？
热爱一切坏东西
蒂姆·波顿热爱坏东西。他在滑稽书和B级恐怖电影里长大，也从来没有长大到可以离开他们。他的主要人物总是面色惨白。从Pee-WeeHerma到甲虫汁到丑客再到剪刀手爱德华、到威利·旺卡都是白色的。
蒂姆·波顿爱死亡，2005年他即将推出的又一部动画作品《僵尸新娘》里，他将终于可以发泄他的恋尸狂倾向。
蒂姆·波顿热爱恶意的双关语。例如，那些企鹅人在《蝙蝠侠》里骄傲地说，“我不是人，我是一个动物。”
蒂姆·波顿热爱假造的一切东西。在《断头谷》里，蒂姆·波顿告诉大家，“我实在爱死了那些伪造的东西”，在他心灵的最深处，他想做一个B级片导演，但是，他被A级片子的预约缠身，他太有天分了，永远不可能像他希望的那样坏。
对于蒂姆·波顿来说，他的电影里始终纠缠的是这样一个主题———是什么取代了一个腐败的，或者是不存在的核心家庭？在《甲虫汁》里，两个解体的家庭，一个死去了，一个还活着，他们在一起学习怎么养孩子；《火星人入侵》里，两个地位悬殊的家庭———一个拖车里的贫民家庭和第一家庭，同时遭到袭击，于是，第一女儿，年轻漂亮的娜塔丽·波特曼给一个笨拙的少年颁发勋章，并悄悄问他“你有女朋友吗？”天哪，这傻小子满足了多少人的幻想啊！
而作为蒂姆·波顿最成熟的电影，他教人们如何去治疗，而不是解散一个核心家庭。在这部电影里，父亲不再是一个规规矩矩的男人，一个威严的权威（就像《断头谷》和《查理和巧克力工厂》里那样）；也不是一个慈祥的死人（就像《剪刀手爱德华》和《蝙蝠侠》里那样）。他是一个有鲜明性格的男人，而不是蒂姆·波顿众多电影里皮包骨头的笨拙男生，最后，儿子理解了父亲，变成了父亲那样的人———就像我们任何人一样，我们和自己的父亲作战，到头来，只是发现我们长大后就成了他们。
这是不是一种宿命？我们没有答案，我们只能一遍又一遍地提出让我们焦灼的问题作为宣泄。《查理和巧克力工厂》又回到了这个主题，讲述了男人与男孩之间的关系。但是与早期的电影不同的是，蒂姆·波顿早期的电影里，世界从那些笨拙的男孩子们身上学习，（就像PeeWee和剪刀手爱德华）现在这些笨拙的男孩子们反过来向世界学习成长之道，这就是一种彻底的转变。

Vincent Malloy is seven years old,
he's always polite and does what he's told.
For a boy his age he's considerate and nice,
but he wants to be just like Vincent Price.

His thoughts though aren't only of goulish crime,

Vincent's favorite author is, Edgar Allen Poe.

One night while reading a gruesome tale,
he read a passage that made him turn pale,
such horrible news he could not survive,
for his beautiful wife had been buried alive.
He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead,
unaware that her grave was his mother's flower bed.

His mother send Vincent off to his room,
he knew he'd been banished to the tower of doom.
Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life,
alone with the portrait of his beautiful wife.
While alone and insane incased in his doom,
Vincent's mother burst suddenly into the room.
She said "If you want to, you can go out and play,
It's sunny outside and beautiful day."

Vincent tried to talk but he just couldn't speak,
the years of isolation had made him quite week.
So he took out some paper and scrawled with a pen;
I'm possessed by this house and can never live it again.

His mother said: "You are not possessed and you are
not almost dead, these games that you play are all in your head,
you are not Vincent Price you're Vincent Malloy,
you're not tormented or insane you're just a young boy,
you're seven years old and you are my son,
I want you to get outside and have some real fun."

Her anger now spent she walked out through the hall,
while Vincent back slowly against the wall...
The room started to sway to shiver in crick,
his horrored insanity had reached it's peak.

To escape the badness he reached for door,
but fell limp and lifeless down, on the floor.
