Hug you or hurt you

The love story of Edward and King crossing the seemingly insurmountable gap between robots and humans has become a classic, but Tim Burton's grotesque style adds a bit of fairy tale color to this relationship, which is so fascinating. But in fact, like most love movies that have become classics in film history, the tragic nature of their stories is often crucial. Whether it is "Titanic" or "Human and Ghosts", love can't escape the trick of fate after all. , Like a spark in the cold wind, swaying and flickering in the dark, giving people a beautiful illusion like a star in the night sky, but it will eventually fall to pluck the wounded strings. Sometimes the more beautiful it is, the more inaccessible it is. True love seems like a bubble, unable to withstand the edges and corners of reality. No matter how much you fall in love, Edward can't hold your lover in his arms again. Reality always doesn't want you to get what you want. Only poignant fantasies can compensate for your inner desires, and ignorant people seem to be the impermanence of pure love. It's extremely ironic... As Depp's early work, it is also a work that established his ghostly acting skills. There is no need to say more about the significance of this film for Depp fans. I want to hug you, but I am afraid of hurting you, so I can only look at you from a distance. What a classic love bridge. There is a shadow of Frankenstein in Edward. As a created "person", he didn't learn emotions until he met a real person and became a person. Sadly, human emotions are inherently wrapped in hurt. Edward couldn't understand this, and didn't want to understand it. That's why he lived alone in the castle. As the keynote of a tragic story, the film is full of warmth and brings reflections on why people hurt each other. Perhaps there is never an answer to this question, or perhaps love and hurt are the front and back of a mirror.
