btw - sorry the outro is so loud this time! i tried out sidechaining my audio for the first time in this video and i think it mostly worked great, but it malfunctioned on my outro. i had a lot of copyright and exporting issues when i was trying to get this video posted, and this was my 19th upload attempt, randomly. most people don't even listen to outros anyway though, so i doubt anyone noticed. if you're reading this, say 'banana' in your comment.

Sorry about the audio issues in the second half. I tried a new way to automate levels between the voiceover and background music and it worked great originally, but while I was struggling with copyright issues across 30+ exports it malfunctioned. This was my 19th attempt and it got cleared, so I had to go with it. I try really hard with my audio and won't let this happen again!

Something I found is the film actually carefully deconstructs classism. The dead are the working class, while even the real working class is divided into sections. The whole premise is that the previous generation of wealth actually has squandered it all, and it is only by marrying into the elite working class that they have any chance of maintaining their status quo. Meanwhile the wealthiest of merchants dream of high society, which had previously been barred to them by their poorer bloodline. It’s only now, with the matrimony of both the old and new elite that either can achieve their goals. Then there’s the dead, the common denominator of us all. The most carefree of the lot because they actually don’t ascribe to ‘working to survive,’ because that’s already been taken from them. Still they cling to their old professions, but these hardly matter when one isn’t relying on the coffers of the bourgeoisie to survive. The great thing about this thematic reading is that in the end the ‘working class’ uprise to meet the living on equal ground, to reconnect to lost loved ones and remind the obnoxious priest, “keep it down, we’re in a church.” What’s more is if you look at how Victor experience with the dead reshapes his attitude towards class hegemony, and how it (prospectively) shapes his perception of those less wealthy than him. For instance, he only speaks to his driver after he’s dead and joins him in the underworld. Then there’s Emily’s dress, the perfect representation of a defunct system that lead to her murder. It has aspects and the form that reminisce her class, but her death shows through, often at the expense of function. Though I may be grabbing at strings at this point. Anyhow I do not agree that there is no deeper meaning to the movie. It’s just to find it that you have to unearth it, the same way one would a forgotten corpse bride with a single hand above ground to signal what’s below.

This was one of my first childhood favorite movies and I know this is a really sad and depressing take on the movie's message but as a 7 yr/old I understood the message as "sometimes the people you care about dont belong to you so you have to let them go no matter how much you love them and no matter how much it hurts." I watched this again after many yrs this Oct with some friends (I was 18 at that time) and I still kinda stand by my 7 yr/old self's belief tho I understand now that Emily's journey was about self fulfillment and realizing that peace is sometime you allow yourself. I still love this movie, it brings up so many nice and cozy memories from my first yr here in Canada and experiencing autumn weather and changing of the leaves and Halloween movies and fun costumes and everything. And I genuinely dont think people appreciate this film enough and wish more people knew about it. Sidenote: "belong" as an a sense of belonging/fitting in and homecoming. So like "your someone else's home," so by holding onto someone who isnt yours your actively keeping someone away from their home and experiencing love and comfort. I donno 7 yr/old me was weird.

So backstory. About another movie I think youd enjoy. I'm 9 years old and my grandpa passed away about a year ago. Because I'm 9, it's just really starting to hit because of all the little things we'd use to do around the holidays namely Halloween and Thanksgiving. So I'm by myself and watching some TV at home, when this movie pops up called "When Good Ghouls Go Bad". And needless to say it was a very cathartic experience. It's based on a short story by R. L. Stien and it stars Christopher Lloyd. Years later I rediscovered it and tbh its a bit more goofy then I remembered. But the core message and symbolism is still there.

About the soul comment: I would say she along with the rest of the dead still have souls There's a theory where the Underwood is actually purgatory which, honestly, It makes the ending muuch more beautiful then ever and it makes SO MUCH SENSE She promised herself that she will get married, and she waited for Years Thats what sealed her fate in purgatory. unfinished business with both her desire or love/married and unfinished business with the blackwidow lord barkus

So just to iterate, The Nightmare Before Christmas is not a Tim Burton movie. He only wrote and produced the film. Henry Selick (Coraline, James and The Giant Peach) directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. I mean just because Burton's name is in the title, doesn't make it his movie. Of course, he was originally gonna direct Nightmare but due to a lot of scheduling conflicts with directing Batman Returns, he didn't have time so he chose Selick who was a good friend of Burton when they were at CalArts to direct it instead.
