Deconstruction of 'Vincent' by Tim Burton

'Vincent' is a short film directed by Tim Burton in the form of an animation. The film itself is narrated by Vincent Price, who is incorporated within the plot. Vincent Price is a well known actor for his distinctive voice and performance in horror films. The incorporation of Vincent Price is a relevant to the representation of the Gothic genre. Within the film, Burton works through many themes that have become a preoccupation of his work, as well as exploring his own imaginative heritage. Not only does 'Vincent' pays recognition to Vincent Price, Edgar Allan Poe and the horror films of the 1950s and 1960s, it also reflects Burton's interpretation of the Expressionist horror collection.
The film coveys the character of 'Vincent' as living a conventional, normal life, which the audience would find familiar and relatable to their everyday life. Burton presents Vincent to conform to normal life but the transitions of the different persona of Vincent represents the more dramatic and exciting life he has in his head.
The film follows Vincent's progress as he goes deeper into his fantasy; although his mother attempts to pull him back to reality.
His mother said: “You’re not possessed, and you’re not almost dead. These games that you play are all in your head. You’re 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"
The film evokes the main theme of the Gothic genre; the struggle between the world of the imagination and the world of reason.
Tim Burton successfully presents the Gothic genre.
