——"Edward Scissorhands"
When Edward lived alone in the castle for many years, when he was used to being with the loneliness at his feet, the aroma of loneliness in his memories will still be in some unknown dusk. Comes stealthily, stubbornly disseminates. At this time, the night began to fall in large areas, and the town at the foot of the ancient castle lit up in turn, tenderly like the eyes of a lover. Edward stood by the highest window and looked out, his eyes blank and blurred. He knew his lover was behind that light, and his castle was the only view outside her window. They are so close and so far apart. Edward's loneliness was quietly diluted into the night, and it permeated the boundless like darkness.
The sight of Kim dancing in the snow on Christmas Eve many years ago is still so clear. Edward began to think of her in the high castle, thinking hard, a pair of scissors hands tirelessly, repeatedly trimmed his love in the ice, carved the appearance of his sweetheart, and spent his whole life. His scissor hands danced around the ice cubes, clack clack, countless tiny pieces of ice revived, flipped up and down, rolled endlessly, flew out of the window, and floated towards her window. There was no snow in the town before, but then it started to snow day and night, which is Edward's thoughts flying all over the sky...
Sixteen years ago, with a childlike mood, Tim Burton told us an innocent, sad, and slightly dark adult fairy tale, a fairy tale as flawless as ice and snow. Without the perfect ending of "the prince and the princess live happily together at last" in most fairy tales, in Edward Scissorhands, the prince and princess are not together in the end, they can't even hug. The prince returned to his lonely castle, waved his scissors in the cold night, and carved out his love with ice.
The background of the story begins in a gloomy old castle on the top of the mountain. A scientist built a robot there and named him Edward. Edward knew human etiquette and poetry, knew when to smile and when to be silent, but a pair of unfinished scissor hands remained. Edward longed to have a pair of real hands, and the sudden departure of the scientist made his wish a heart that could never be touched. dream. Edward huddled in the corner alone in the dark, forgotten in the old castle, forgetting the time, until one day, the unintentional arrival of a middle-aged woman who sells cosmetics, Peg, completely changed his world.
The kind Peg was not intimidated by Edward's pale complexion and claws and scissors, but took him back to his home with pity for his loneliness. This is a town with bright colors, even a bit of surrealism. The large and small, colorful houses seem to be seen only in dreams, and the people living here are not a group of people outside the reality. Housewives are good at flirting, snooping, and gossiping. Edward's arrival has undoubtedly added freshness and excitement to their boring life. When he used scissors to show off his amazing talent for trimming plants and designing hairstyles, the people in the town almost went crazy for him.
It is these pair of scissor hands, which not only condensed Edward's wisdom and creativity, but also became his most poetic and contradictory, and buried his deep embarrassment and pain in advance. In the curse of the heretics, he is always an alien, dangerous, terrible, and needs to be careful. Those superficial smiles and friendliness in human society are so hypocritical that they disappear without a trace in the gap of indifference and selfishness. The bizarreness of this complex world is beyond the simple Edward's imagination in any way.
But what Edward didn't know was that, as a robot, love was more dangerous to him than drinking a glass of lemon juice, but he still fell in love with Peg's daughter Kim, with a metal-like firmness. This became the source of his pain. For one of Kim's requests, Edward was framed by Kim's boyfriend Jim and entered the police station. When he came back, Kim came to him, so he had the following sad dialogue:
"Thank you for not speaking about us."
"You're welcome."
" You must have been surprised when they told you it was Jim's house?"
"I knew that."
"You? Really?"
"Yes."
"Then why?"
"Because you asked me to do it. "
When I heard this sentence, my shock was like Jin's wide eyes, this is the love of a robot, so clean, pure, simple, like crystal without a trace of impurities. Edward's pale face was covered with scars accidentally cut by his own scissors, and a pair of pure and deep eyes, I will never forget the lonely and sad eyes in his eyes when he said these words. People are sore that they want to cry and hear the sound of something shattering.
At this time, Jim came to look for Jin. Edward looked at Jin's back as he walked out, with a confused despair in his eyes. He waved the scissors and cut through the curtain beside him, then turned back suddenly and walked in along the long corridor. , the two scissor hands pressed hard against the walls on both sides, rubbing out an angry and sharp neigh. He stood in front of the mirror, waving his scissors in pain and slicing the wallpaper on both sides of the mirror from top to bottom, until the entire wall was completely undamaged and hysterical. It was the first time his feelings had erupted in a way that bordered on anger.
On Christmas Eve, Edward carved a huge ice sculpture of an angel in the yard, and the scissors were flying up and down nimbly and delicately, so the sky was full of snow, the first snow in the town's history. Jin opened his hands, danced in the snow, spinning recklessly, and white crystal snowflakes surrounded her, covering her golden hair and long eyelashes... If you were Jin, you would definitely love Edward at that moment. Moving.
However, another frame-up and misunderstanding pushed Edward to a dead end, and the contradictions became increasingly irreconcilable. He had to flee, venting his unspeakable pain along the way, and destroying the gardening that he had cut out with his own hands. His silence does not mean his numbness. When the deepest love hidden in his heart cannot be understood, he can only resort to angry expressions and destruction. Johnny Depp shows Edward's inner world vividly with his excellent body language.
However, Edward came back. In order to take a last look at Jin before leaving, there was another sad scene:
"Hold me", she said, Edward hesitated, Scissorhand was at a loss, and finally spat out the simple Shan's three words, "I can't", and then hid in front of the window in pain without saying a word. Kim walked over and put his scissor hands on his shoulders, leaning tightly against his chest. Edward remembered that he could have had a pair of hands to embrace his lover, but the sudden death of his father made everything shatter on the ground like those hands. His face was filled with silent sadness.
Edward returned to his castle, and Jim, who followed him for revenge, also died disgracefully in a fight. Everything had become irreparable. Edward and Kim made a final goodbye. made the most complete decision.
The fairy tale ends with a touch of sadness. Edward bids us farewell silently and returns to the castle, alone, alone for a long time. How dare we expect too much? The little prince from another planet fell and left us; the happy prince was thrown into the furnace of the foundry and turned into a puddle of molten iron; the daughter of the sea turned into a pile of foam and lost her love forever. And Edward, a robot with scissor hands, a robot destined to not be able to hold even his lover in his arms, has not been destroyed, but just stumbled away in our sight, and we have to take care of the softest piece in our hearts The place was preserved and grateful.
After Jin got old, she never saw Edward again, but she knew that he was still in the old castle, and she also knew that in his mind, she was still the blond woman in the snow, with a fluttering white dress...everyone On a snowy night, I saw his thoughts wither away in large numbers, quietly sinking into memories...
