To movie fans, the whole movie is like a big meal with various types and subjects. Many netizens said that they should prepare their wallets and have a big carnival at the end of the year. Among this sumptuous meal, tim burton's latest masterpiece Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle, which was released on December 2, is undoubtedly the most special delicacy. After it was released in other markets around the world on September 30, it won the global box office championship for two consecutive weeks and set off a wave of "Burton-style aesthetics", which aroused the strong expectation of fans all over the world and was one of the most popular films to be introduced. The film is starring Asa Butterfield (Ender's Game), eva green (007: Battle of casino royale), samuel jackson (The Avengers) and others.

Why is Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle so anticipated? Tim burton, the famous director of "Ghost Talent", is the key reason why this film is highly anticipated.

Judging from the foreign media's evaluation, this film is known as "Fantasy X-Men", and some media praised it as Burton's best visual effect and emotional integration since Edward Scissorhands, and it is Burton's most wonderful live-action film in the past 20 years.

When people mention tim burton's films, they will say "Gothic", "Dark" and "Weird". His works are deeply branded with personal style. He is best at expressing grotesque characters, stories with wide brains and strange Gothic atmosphere, and makes up a series of magic or fantasy films. Whether it is Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Big Fish or Alice in Wonderland, many fans regard it as a unique classic in film history.

His works, relying on exaggerated colors, strange characters and different styles of costumes, touched the hearts of the audience and touched people's tears again and again. Marco Muller, president of Venice Film Festival, once commented that tim burton is one of the bravest, most imaginative and most innovative filmmakers in the United States, and has won numerous fans because of his fantastic and passionate imagination and unique visual style.

Bolton mentioned in an interview that he had lived in a cemetery since childhood, which may be a strange thing for others, but he didn't think so. When he was young, his parents inexplicably nailed a lot of planks to his room, leaving only two thin cracks for him to see the outside world. All kinds of life experiences in childhood may also be the reasons for his dark fairy tale style and his whimsical thinking.

"Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle" is adapted from a best-selling novel, and a Chinese version has been published in China, which is called "Strange House Girl". There are girls who are lighter than a feather, girls with long mouths, powerful loli, monsters who eat eyes, etc., and the "brain burning" setting of time loop. Many book fans think that there is probably no more suitable director than tim burton to shoot this eye-opening story.

"Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle" mainly tells that Jack's grandfather used to tell him bedside stories when Jack was young, and there were many children with special abilities in the stories. After Grandpa died mysteriously, he left clues about all kinds of mysteries belonging to another time and space world. Jack followed these clues, entered this mysterious world, and found that these strange children really existed. They lived here to avoid the terrible mutant monsters, which would eat the eyes of children with powers. With the arrival of Jack, the danger comes at the same time. Jack needs to be with these children to resist the dark forces.

When the media mentioned that "Miss Pei's Fantasy Castle" is like "Fantasy Version of X-Men", and whether the dark style is only suitable for adults to watch, Burton has his own opinion: "Obviously, the type of superhero is very popular, but I never think of that aspect. I always think that this story belongs to mortals, not so much as superpowers, but rather as pain. Every child has his own unique ability, which is what interests me. They are not trying to save the world, but they are born this way, which is the attraction of this story. I like everything I don't know, and I want to maintain his mystery. Many people think that this movie is not suitable for children to watch, but I think there is no obstacle, because children will be more curious, and abstract images are not necessarily terrible. "
