Fairy tales are as beautiful as dreams, priceless

After reflecting on one night and one day, I once again devoted myself to this film, and I am very fortunate that I finally entered the movie. I know that what I lost, as long as I think it is extremely precious, I will definitely find it back. I think my tears are probably my ugly salvation for me. Dear friends, don’t treat it as a horror movie! So let's talk about the theme first. This is a fairy tale, a fairy tale in Gothic style. Scissorhands is also the main force in the revival of Gothic style movies. The dark black clothes and the pale as a dead face are just a strong portrayal of Gothic's style. Sure enough, Burton's head was filled with countless wonderful things. Starting from the most important point, I still think tears are the best entry point for the audience to intervene. The most obvious thing in this film is love. To give a very simple example, if in the Titanic, Jack and Rose did not have the last heartbreaking separation, the two people boarded the lifeboat smoothly and received relief without suspense, and then returned. The United States gave birth to N children and formed a basketball team. After a lifeless life, it is difficult to cut into this film. Tears are the most powerful source for you to have enough strength to remember each picture and think deeply about the theme of the movie. I don’t think you will have the motivation to write a film review, comment on the head, and think deeply after watching a boring film in a calm and boring manner. . So when I was first, it was precisely because this entry point was overwritten by myself that I was puzzled and confused by this film. Later, I was fortunate to be guided by many people. I watched this film again today. I changed my ugly aesthetic view of reality and treated Edward and his love from a new angle. Everything changed. Director Burdon made me realize my ugliness when I watched the movie for the first time and made me introspect all night. I know that the word "thank you" alone cannot express my gratitude to Burdon at the moment I shed tears. Yes, my tears are not only the shock that the fairy tale brings to my soul, but also the tribute to director Burdon. It is you that purify my ugly heart. For the subject, what I want to talk about most is beauty. Pure beauty is scarce around us, so the world that too many people see is always dark, desperate, and indifferent. Even if they have a pair of eyes to discover beauty, they still can't see the light. I admit that there are too many ugly things in the world, because everything in the world is linked to "reality", and when it comes to reality, all beautiful things will wither and wither. This kind of death is the same as the tragic result of art encountering politics. of. Therefore, Burdon movies are a kind of pursuit of beauty And explore. If you look at this movie with a normal aesthetic view of reality, you will find that all the logic is unreasonable. This is my state when I first watched the movie. With an ugly mask, how could I find ES (this (Film abbreviation) in the beauty? This is also an alternative persuasion and salvation for moviegoers, and I am very fortunate that I am one of them. Movies are a catharsis and fantasy of beauty. Because this pure beauty cannot be realized in the real world, artists must realize their desire for beauty through art forms, fiction, creation, and fantasy. For example, in the last semester, the film interpretation teacher showed us Yang Dechang’s "Mahjong", which clearly supports my argument. Most of the film is dark, but in the end, the director gave us a wonderful This is the reason why Lu Xun left white flowers at the end of "Medicine". Burdon has built a lot of beautiful things in ES. Fairy-tale love and humanity are one of them. Kim really looks like a princess, with big eyes and milky skin, which is really crazy. Edward is not a human being, not a prince, but Burdon is not reconciled. He involved himself in the image of Edward. Through his own efforts, Edward has become the prince in people's hearts. Therefore, in the log message, Edward is not ugly. Girls, you are right, you are as beautiful as Edward. Edward's beauty is not on the outside (don't think that he is a depp and his pale face is handsome), but on the inside. I don't know if you have noticed that the inventor picked up the heart-shaped cookie and placed it on the bridge of the unfinished Edward's heart. That place is exactly the place the inventor wants to give Edward the "heart". A solid color biscuit is Edward's heart. Fairy-tale heart, simple heart, pure heart. His heart was blank at the beginning, the same as when we were young. What the old inventor engraved on Edward's heart is all the beautiful things. This is introduced in another section. The old inventor reads to Edward, talks about etiquette, and reads poetry, all instilling beautiful things. Edward's beauty is not only reflected in trimming flowers and plants without money, his careful and unforgettable love for Kim is a kind of beauty, his ingenuity is also a kind of beauty, his phrase "I can't" and "Because you ask me What looks like that is actually nonsense. She kept saying that Edward was a devil and a demon, but in the end, Edward gave the answer. He did a wonderful "gardening" in front of this neurotic woman's window: a devil-shaped thing scared the woman out of her soul. She kept saying that Edward was the devil, but she was the devil herself. The design of this piece is simply fantastic. Then, Kim's boyfriend is another kind of ugliness different from neighbors. To be honest, he is understandable to a certain extent. I don't believe that people who are in love dare to pat their breasts and say that they have never been jealous. If you pat your chest to say, then congratulations, you are not human, and your physical function is not sound. So we saw her boyfriend’s anger, unhappy and making things difficult for Edward. This is a manifestation of being jealous, and it is understandable that people will be jealous, but the director’s purpose is obvious. This young man is an ugly person. So when we watch movies, we naturally hate such jealous behavior. From another perspective, maybe her boyfriend had foreseen early that Kim would have a good impression of Edward, so he was crazy jealous. But this is just a personal understanding. The thing that discredited his image most was his theft and abduction. This incident was so bad that all kinds of bad things were concentrated in this action. First of all, he had wrong motives and wanted to steal; secondly, he coordinated with his accomplices and abducted Kim; he deceived Edward and used Edward’s feelings for Kim; he pushed Edward into danger in times of crisis... all kinds of mistakes piled up together, He immediately stinks. The distortion of human nature has caused him to be ugly. Moreover, in the world, there is a real person in the world, and his girlfriend is robbed by others, and it is common in the newspapers to kill. So in the end he was killed by Edward, I was relieved. Through various contrasts, a fairy-tale beauty is expressed. The parting of the last two people at the top of the castle is indeed sad and touching. The love of fairy tales is at the same time poignant and unattainable. Such love is so beautiful, but where can I find it? This can only be a fairy tale, it can only be a fairy tale, love as beautiful as fireworks, in fact, when Edward appeared, it was a dream. At the time of parting, Edward, who only said 169 words in the whole article, said "goodbye" affectionately and softly. The kiss after Kim confessed was the most shining part of her performance in the whole film. She kissed the past affectionately, but the pain of parting made her unable to continue kissing. The memory was like a dagger pierced into her heart. It was absolutely unbearable pain. This time kissing goodbye is a farewell. Her expression was extremely sad and beautiful. "I love It is difficult for me to find evidence to support my argument, so I can't guarantee the feasibility of my own view, and I even have some doubts. Hope someone can help me find it. Thank you. Also, in the castle garden, there is also a large hand-shaped gardening plant. I think this is also a moral. Perhaps this is Edward's eternal dream. A classic is always a classic. I hope that those friends like me who didn't understand it at the beginning can reflect deeply, redeem your own soul, and watch the movie again. I believe you will feel differently.
