Tim Burton

Tim Burton is one of my favorite filmmakers.  His style is much different then any other's, and his movies are usually dark movies but have time where things happen that you didn't expect.  You could say that Tim Burton uses a tension and release feel throughout his movies also.  In "Nightmare Before Christmas" the main Character, Jack Skellinton, decides to bring the Christmas spirit into Halloweentown. Throughout the film, Tim builds tension by trying to capture Santa to bring the spirit to Halloweentown.  Sally, another character, try to stop Jack of doing such a thing and eventually gets captured by Oogie-Boogie.  While still building the tension, Tim creates a numerous other attempts to build the tension before the release.  In the end Jack is shot down by the military in a graveyard (the release of the film). Jack realizes that he needs to save Christmas before next Halloween in Halloween town and this is where the film ends.
