內容簡介
內容簡介 From breathtaking stop-action animation to bittersweet modern fairy tales, filmmaker Tim Burton has become known for his unique visual brilliance -- witty and macabre at once. Now he gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children -- misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these dark yet simple beings -- hopeful, hapless heroes who appeal to the ugly outsider in all of us, and let us laugh at a world we have long left behind (mostly anyway).
各界推薦
各界推薦 多說無益,試讀其中一首短詩,你便能知道波頓筆下的古怪趣味: The Girl with Many Eyes One day in the parkI had quite a surprise I met a girl who had many eyes. She was really quite pretty(and also quite shocking!)and I noticed she had a mouth, so we ended up talking. We talked about flowers, and her poetry classes, and the problems she'd haveif she ever wore glasses. It's great to know a girlwho has so many eyes, but you really get wet when she breaks down and cries. 本書中出現的一些角色如污漬小子(Stain Boy)、毒藥男孩(Toxicboy)…等,目前已發展成線上的flash動畫,一樣可愛詭異得不得了,非常受歡迎。有興趣的人可以上shockwave與atom films合作的網頁瞧瞧(http: atomfilms.shockwave.com af animation series stainboy )。 ◎好讀書介: 本書是《聖誕夜驚魂》作者Tim Burton的作品,詩樣的精簡文字、簡單的筆觸和淡彩構成的插圖就成了本書的黑色幽默。魔幻詭奇的人物是每個小故事的核心,短短的情節有些讓人發噱、有些則是驚悚,而作者的敘述和冷然的筆調所呈現出的殘酷現實卻是抹不去的憂傷情調。 Tim Burton曾參與了〈蝙蝠俠〉、〈剪刀手愛德華〉等多部影片,書中彷彿又讓讀者陷入剪刀手愛德華單純與哀愁交錯的氛圍中。 書況:115頁;198x134mm;布面精裝。 ◎看更多圖
