Favorite Movie Outline By Robert Michaud Movie: Sleepy Hollow Director: Tim Burton Aesthetically, Sleepy Hollow is one of the most beautiful films to recently emerge. Of course, coming from renowned director, Tim Burton, one could expect no less. With Tim Burton's marvelous art direction, Danny Elfman's exquisite music and a first class cast, Sleepy Hollow is an excellent film. Through a classic tale with ingenious cinematography, setting, special effects and music, Sleepy Hollow is an old story with a new appeal. Renowned actors such as Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and Christopher Walkin all aid this visually superb piece. Also, this film identifies with several different audiences. For Pagans and Atheists, Christianity is seen in this movie as an abomination against science and country religions. For the action and horror fans, there are a total of eighteen decapitations while several scenes contain beautifully choreographed combat. To give an authentic and Burton-esque feel, the entire movie was shot with a blue filter, which makes every shot feel as though it belongs and flows with the next shot.
