Edward Scissorhands is great

*Stephie* · 05-23-2016, 07:06 AM

The movie was out the same year I was born. Crazy.

It was a very significant year, then

oh boy, this film breaks my heart

Loved this movie so, so much.

I always get angry on behalf of Edward when the cruel townspeople turn against him

Pic of Johnny and Winona at the premiere of the movie - they were engaged in real life at the time.

Johnny even had a Winona tattoo that he had altered.

One of my favourites, I'm a huge JD fan and love any and everything of his!

I agree as well Gwen, the scenes with the townspeople turning on him is so horrific, but also so true to some societies.

That's right - Winona Forever

You can see it in this candid -

Me too, he's my favorite actor next to Christian Bale, a true chameleon of the acting craft

and Tim Burton's inspiration for many of his creations.

I loved how Tim Burton mixed fairytale with horror in this movie to show how society casts out somebody just because they look and act strange. Very true to life.

^^^ and even how the neighbourhood had a ‘stepford’ vibe to it was interesting too.

The colors of the houses were so creepily vibrant (pick, for example) and Tim Burton has a flair for using the environment to express tone and social interaction. All the neighbors are your typical people who pretend to welcome somebody new into society but then they cast him out when it threatens their perfect status

Mi||iê Måë · 05-25-2018, 12:55 PM

Exactly.

That is a stepford thing to me.

**Crystal Clear** · 05-26-2018, 01:28 AM

Definitely is

I always got the impression that Tim Burton enjoyed using that theme of Stepford interaction. The neighborhood of SLEEPY HOLLOW was eerily similar.

Loved the cameo role of Vincent Price

Mi||iê Måë · 05-27-2018, 12:45 PM

Loved seeing Vincent too!

Loved this scene.

**Crystal Clear** · 05-28-2018, 11:06 AM

^ That is so cute!

Johnny really perfected the innocence of the role.

I love how Edward progresses from shy outsider to, well, shy and romantic outsider.

Mi||iê Måë · 05-28-2018, 12:21 PM

Big change there right? Shy outsider to shy romantic outsider.
