文森特（电影）

简介

《Vincent》最早问世在1982年，片长只有5分多钟，是蒂姆·波顿在迪斯尼的早期作品，讲的是一个叫Vincent的小男孩，幻想自己是一名著名的恐怖片演员，饰演将妻子活埋后不堪精神重负的凶手。现实与幻想不断交错形成戏剧张力，小男孩在自己幻想的爱伦.坡式结尾中“死去”。这个叫文森特的小男孩很孤独，他的脑子里充满了各式各样的古怪而新奇的念头，但却受到成人社会的压抑，他陷入到深深的孤独之中，活在冥想中那充满鬼怪的世界里。这部短片可以说奠定了蒂姆·波顿以后动画电影的基调，包含了他标志性的所有元素和歌特式的风格。哥特式的电影场景，哥特式的狗，哥特式的孩子，恋尸癖，埋葬的新娘，所有的特征都表达的淋漓尽致。配音也呈现了蒂姆·波顿动画电影中人物特有的语言节奏。整个短片有着让人一见难忘的黑色狂想气氛。（为本片配音的正是著名恐怖片演员Vincent Price，而此片也正是蒂姆·伯顿向他致敬的作品，Vincent后来在《剪刀手爱德华》中饰演科学家一角）。

影片已经具备了初步的蒂姆－伯顿式的哥特风格，阴郁、神秘、黑暗的氛围在每一个镜头中洋溢着，甚至是人物的造型也是蒂姆－伯顿的经典模式。尽管只是一部动画片主角文森特的造型和剪刀手爱德华却惊人的相似。《文森特》拍摄完成之后迪斯尼公司的高层认为这部作品恐怖、阴暗，不适宜儿童观看因而将之封杀。
