As Beetlejuice turns 35, it remains the best distillation of Tim Burton's silly-macabre artistic vision. annarosemary looks back:
The first half of Tim Burton’s career are movies that shouldn’t work but do and the second half of Tim Burton’s career are movies that should work but don’t.” This assertion remains an apt critical perspective, but it also identifies the engine which emboldens Burton’s storytelling. His mode of filmmaking thrives under the framework of the underdog.
Ryder’s trick as a performer is how she wields an eternal youthfulness, contained within her big eyes and slight frame, to undercut the viewer, disarming them with anger and eeriness. As Lydia, she is possessed by a simmering frustration at being stuck in the body of a child, her sense of doom softened by her youth and perpetually misunderstood. She remains desperate for her macabre senses to be taken seriously before latching onto the Maitlands out of a twisted sense of necessity.
Barbara and Adam are the film’s throughline, but once Lydia is introduced, the story is filtered through her vision. The iconic “Banana Boat” sequence , is from Lydia’s vantage point in the corner. Lydia is the character built to sustain the bulk of Burton’s preoccupations, a misunderstood loner who believes that a symptom of living is succumbing to normalcy. This worldview can only be understood through someone so young—innately, it isn’t built to last.
