In Ichabod's fever dream, his mother levitates and twirls amid snowy blossoms, and all Burton's feeling for his paramour, Lisa Marie, comes through--he paints her as the most vulnerable of spellcasters.
Burton relishes squirting blood in this know-it-all's face: Ichabod is the movie's dashing hero and also the butt of its jokes.
