Anyone who has watched the film should feel the loneliness of Edward. This robot created by a genius scientist has the same feelings and all sensory systems as humans, but the only difference is that the pair of scientists has not yet had time to give him. Replaced hands. Because of this, when the scientist passed away, his loneliness was obvious, and it was from that day that for the first time he felt the pain of not being able to embrace his lover with both hands. His loneliness has never stopped from the moment he has feelings. This is a fairy tale for adults. The beginning of the film uses an upside-down montage technique to start with a beautiful picture of a snowstorm. The elderly Kim tells such a "fairy tale" to his grandson with his back to the gray castle.
The film contrasts the colorful and bright town with the gloomy castle at the end of the town. This appearance makes people think that there will be vampire-like demons living in the castle. It is completely different and wonderful. All kinds of plants trimmed into animal shapes are vivid and lovely, reflecting the innocence of the castle owner from the side. The innocent and harmless Andrew lives in this big old castle. When he first saw the intrusion of a stranger, although his face did not change much, I could still feel it. He was both scared and happy, because the first sentence he said was: "Don't go!" He was so lonely, no one knew how long he had not been in contact with humans.
From the small hole cut out by him on the top floor of the castle to overlook the town, and from the various newspaper clippings affixed to the fireplace, we can see traces of his loneliness and strong curiosity about the outside world. Therefore, he happily followed the kind-hearted sales lady out of this safe place and into the world of flowers and flowers.
However, people who live in the "colorful" world are also so lonely in my opinion. They live in crowds and material things, but they are always dissatisfied. They are always greedy and want more. They use peeping, Flirt and gossip for fun. I remember a scene in the film where a middle-aged woman said to a plumber: "Actually, housewives are very lonely." It can be said that everyone has their own loneliness, but some people are ignorant and boring and have too many desires. , which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent development of the film. When Edward first came to town, people were enthusiastic about him because of curiosity and freshness, and when Edward showed pruning
After gardening, grooming pets, and even giving people haircuts, they are even more sought after by everyone. The story develops here, and everything seems to be in harmony, but Edward's loveliness obviously doesn't stop there.
When Edward saw Kim's photo for the first time, the moment when those clear eyes stared deeply into it was touching, yes, he fell in love with the beautiful Kim from the first sight. I don't know if this is the director's love for him or cruelty. In his simple concept of right and wrong, as long as the person he loves asks him to do it, he will definitely do it. His feelings are stronger than many human feelings. Pure and calm.
However, this way of doing things is obviously dangerous. After all, he was hated and excluded by people because of a small mistake, and even maliciously spread all kinds of rumors until people were besieged. In the empty hearts of human beings, he is always an outlier, and his appearance is only occasionally used to fill the dullness of life. They have never sincerely opened their hearts to get along with him, so even if Edward did not have such a cause, it would end up like this the result of.
They are two worlds, simple and complex, trust and suspicion, unable to balance and coexist. In this colorful world, he is a shade that is too pure, lonely and beautiful. Just like the blue-toned poster used in the film, it is beautiful in one color. Here I have to admire depp's superb acting skills, it's really not easy for him to make such a stiff-faced, slow-moving, pale-faced non-human be so vivid and lovely. The film still ends in a blizzard of snow, with the old Kim muttering, "Before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did."
Edward carved the angel Kim in his mind on the top floor of the castle. The swirling ice flakes floated out of the small hole and fell into the white snow in the town. Since then, it will "snow" every year. The end of the film is an open ending, and I should thank the director for allowing Edward to survive and leave the audience a good imagination. This is not the perfect ending in a fairy tale, but it is the ending that I think is the most suitable for this story; this is a lonely fairy tale, but a fairy tale suitable for everyone to hide in the heart.
