Timothy Burton, he's a famous director of well known movies such as, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Sweeny Todd. His movies are know to have dark gothic themes and the main characters are usually misfits, outsiders, physically or emotionally scarred. For example, in Sweeny Todd, Johnny Depp has extremely pale skin, common in Burton's films, and dark bags underneath his eyes.
Burton was born on August 25, 1958 in Burbank, California. Tim describes his childhood as quirky, self-absorbed, and highly imaginative. Growing up, Tim staged and axe murder with his brother to frighten his neighbors thus giving him the nickname Axe Wound. He grew up next to a cemetery and has told of the "wierdness" of the situation. This is what prompted the awkward characters for his great movies.
The manic and hypomanic elations in Burton's mood further urged his ideas for dark and odd movies to escalate. My feelings on this disorder is mutual. I feel that it has done mind boggling things for the world of Tim Burton, but at times it can become a bother. Everyone has mood swings from time to time and they never become the best of us. I think Tim Burton has embraced his bipolar disorder and has only helped his career.

Nice Ive liked his creations alot. Bipolar Disorder seems to be the common one among stars as ive seen
I liked how you related timothy's disorder to his work and showed how the public may discern the disorder's effects through the movies that he directs. Short, simple, and straight to the point. AP scoring= 8/8
oh, and for the "constructive criticism" that we're required to post, try interpreting the movies with more depth.
I thought this blog was very informative of his career and background. Good job. [:
I also like the way you finished by clearly relating the disorder with his career
