No scissorhands‚ no Beetlejuices‚ no singing pumpkin heads” (Scott). However‚ with Burton stepping out of his comfort zone and creating a movie that does not show his usual‚ strange and gothic style ways of writing‚ the movie was still very intriguing (Scott)

THE CINEMATIC STYLE OF TIM BURTON Edward Scissor hands and Charlie and the chocolate factory are both great movies. Tim Burton makes intriguing and all around great movies.

Belonging is the finest thing in the world that knows how to belong to oneself. You have to belong to yourself before you belong to society. Belonging is a quite a hard concept‚ as you can argue that people who don’t want to belong actually "belong" to a group of people who don’t want to belong. But what is belonging?
