Hey there everyone! Has been a while, right?
Well today I’m going to speak about one of my favorite artists, the one and
only, Tim Burton. He is an American director
and he also draws. Born in 1958 and well known by his originality he began with
the movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas” in 1993, which is a great movie by
the way! Before that he won a collegeship and he studied in the Institution of
Arts in California. After that he worked at Disney where he wrote and filmed “Vincent”.
Today Tim Burton is known worldwide and his
trademark is really easy to recognize: dolls with extremely long bodies,
strange faces, fantastic characters and lots and lots of imagination. After
Nightmare Before Christmas many movies came.
I believe my favorites are Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (which is
based on a short story from the writer who wrote “our short story”), The Corpse
Bride is also awesome, just like Edward Scissor Hands! Sweeney Todd: The Demon
Barber of Fleet Street is epic and we can’t forget Alice in the Wonderland! Now
we can see on theaters Black Shadows, and I can't wait for the opportunity to watch it!
In many of his movies Tim Burton works with
Johnny Depp (who is actually my favorite actor) and with Helena Bonham Carter
(Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter saga and also his wife). So much
talent leads to awesome, amazing, unforgettable movies! If you have never seen any
movie from Tim Burton you really should! Summer is close so we are going to
have lots of time for that!
Maybe next time I will write about Scorsese or
Star Wars, with Summer coming good movies are always needed! I leave you now
with the trailer of Black Shadows and others. Oh and you can also check the official website (really interesting) :

It's a pleasure to write in this blog, is one of my favorite "school activities" ever!
I think this Summer I will rewatch Tim Burton's movies, doing this post rembember me how awesome they are!
Hi,
Tim Burton is really a big piece in the cinema's world. I've always loved cinema and the ideas and dimensions that cinema creates in our brains.
Johnny Depp is also my favorite actor, he is great. The best I think.
The crazy world that they bring to the screens isn't understood by everybody, that only want to see terror, comedy or stupid love stories.
He is making history in this art, as long as a lot of great and crazy directors, actors and writters.
I was waiting for an opportunity to write in the blog because I can't publish anything (lost mail and password), and this theme is the best for me.
I see that teacher still wants to move on with this blog and students should help her.
Sorry for some mistakes but I don't have english now so I can acuse some lack of practice.
Good luck with classes and the blog,
Diogo Cardoso (former student)
Dear Diogo
I am really happy to hear from you and to realise that you still follow this project I've started for the students.
if you want to publish I'd be very greatful. Send me a mail at silvapligia@hotmail.com and I'll give the password.
I hope you're well and this may be a way for you to go on practising your english. I really miss my former students
Love
