      Edward Scissorhands--Love Beneath The Appearance

      This is the movie I watched when I was very young. Maybe it was the first Johnny Depp movie I ever watched. From then on, I couldn't help but fall in love with him. I still remember the old grandfather in the castle, the beautiful snow globe, the beautiful house, and Edward's magical scissors and the strange shapes he cut out.

      The world is only you

      I've seen people group "Edward Scissorhands" into various series, 20 of the most touching and poignant love movies, the snow that I miss - 10 movies about snow and love. I like the latter category, which is indeed a true portrayal of Edward, but this title is still at the heart of what the director wants to express. If it were me, I would be more willing to summarize it as: a life that is lonelier than fireworks--- - A movie about loneliness.

      When watching "Edward Scissorhands", I...

      If I could only make snow for you

      Who ever said that love can generate momentum, make people forget their own limitations and become omnipotent.
      However, some loves can only let you see the limit that each other cannot surpass, and ultimately there is nothing you can do.

      Edward Scissorhands, an unfinished robot, has the appearance of a human, the body of a human, the internal organs of a human being, and even the inner thoughts of a human being. Unfortunately, his father was a little off and failed to give him a...

      surprise in my heart

      As I grow older, I still have this warm film in my memory of one of the few foreign language films.
      Very unintentionally, I rented this movie back from the movie, and then sat on the ground and watched it in a sloppy way, and then my heart was empty. Be a story in memory.

      Many years later, I watched the very popular "Pirates of the Caribbean", and I was very happy to see that it was so good that the captain was very weird and beautiful, as if there was a magic power that made you...

      Does everyone have a pair of scissors?

      Started watching old movies recently.
      It's like making up for the evil, making up for the movies that I haven't watched before.
      Saw Edward Scissorhands last night.
      Movies from twenty years ago.
      I finally understand why "Alice in Wonderland" was criticized, not because the film was not good enough, but because the director's film twenty years ago was too good.
      I really like the signature of a familiar friend on the forum: My pair of scissors that can't hug you. I always...

      Today is Xiaoxue. It is about to enter the snowy season. Edward living in Casorie, how are you doing? Will it be cold in an attic without a roof? I can't visit you, but I promise that from now on I will miss you every time I see Luoxue. Good...

      There is only one reason: Johnny Depp looks like Klaus Nomi in this. Whether it's a pale face, black lips, or even the look in the eyes, the way he puts his hands on both sides of his thighs. I shed tears at the end. If I want glutinous rice, I will watch this...

      The 30th anniversary 4K restoration is really sad to see. Love did not impress me, but the community's slanderous attitude towards Edward hit me because it was too easy to diverge from reality. Our society’s tolerance for heterogeneous species is always limited to one’s own comfort zone. If it exceeds the limit, it’s just a pot of dirty water being poured over. How can there be any force to go up to Kongtong Mountain, in fact, those people have never been down the mountain in their entire...

    Movie plot

    An inventor lived in an old castle, made all kinds of things, and finally made a robot, and named him Edward ( Johnny Depp ) . The inventor devoted all his efforts to this work. He even taught Edward the human etiquette and poetry, when to smile and when to be silent. However, before the robot was finally completed, the inventor died, leaving Edward, who had a human mind but a pair of scissors hands, lived alone in the castle. I don't...

    The house used in the movie does exist. It is a community located in Florida. Apart from the overly ostentatious exterior paint, no changes have been made to other parts of the house.

    Wears the lens

    Edward broke the waterbed, but it was still there when he went to bed at night.
    When the neighbors came over to talk to Pegg about the picnic, the word "Boggs" was on the door knocker; when they left, the word on the door knocker was missing.
    In a long shot showing Peg taking Edward home, it can be seen that there are no trees in the background. Later, Edward trimmed the shrubs....

    Creative background

    Tim Bolton had a closed childhood. He was called a movie urchin, and he dedicated himself to creating a weird and creepy movie world. Edward can even be regarded as the incarnation of Tim Burton: a strange appearance, a poetic soul, and a unique way of cognition. His films always like to use some special people to enhance the sense of illusion, such as conjoined singers, dwarfs, and giants.
    "Edward Scissorhands" was inspired by director...

    The symbolic environment and the reflection of secular humanity

    In this film, the director is quite original in his choice of environment, and consistent with his overall style is the unique and peculiar environment setting. The environment of the film is mainly composed of two locations: colorful communities and terrifying castles. The environment setting of a colorful community is the gaudy satire in Tim Burton's lens, and the castle where Edward lives in the film has a strong allegory. Under the...

    A poignant story and a sad ending

    In this story full of fantasy fairy tales, it is full of desolation, helplessness and bitterness. From the birth of Edward to his understanding of the beauty and ugliness of the world, he has experienced an unspeakable life of bitterness and dampness. Everything in the real world, whether beautiful or ugly, he can neither embrace nor live in it. He wore black all over, with helpless and innocent eyes, swaying through the vulgar world...

      [everyone stares, Kevin snickers]
