A must see short animated film

Here is the first animated film by Tim Burton made in 1982 entitled Vincent.
After you watch it, post a comment including a brief analysis of how this reflects Gothic literature using what you learned in the "Gothic overview" about characters, setting, ambience, aims, and effects on the reader/viewer. Then give your opinion of the film.

Gothic literature and artwork

Here are some examples of various pieces of art that were certainly inspired by Gothic thinking. When looking at these, employ the same thinking and questions that you use when approaching Gothic literature;
What are the characters?
What is the ambiance evoked?
What kind of events (elements of plot) can we imagine that the artist is referring to?
Is there pleasure in horror?

Although Gothic culture is rooted in the Middle Ages, many of the art styles that came after it used Gothic and added new layers and concepts to it. This is true of Romanticism in particular, but also of art trends and subcultures of the 20th century. Gothic culture has strongly influenced, for example, the punk subculture, which in turn has had an impact on art with its radical aesthetics. Another Gothic wave brushed through Western visual culture in the 1990s, when the visual language of art was influenced by the rapidly growing advertising industry and media, globalization and terrorism, as well as the daunting "trauma of the era": AIDS. Today, Gothic can be seen as a platform from which various approaches that combine horror, beauty and supernatural phenomena have risen, along with its dissonant and ambivalent aesthetic code referring to carnal desires and complex psychological states.
