Edward Scissorhands

Description

Edward Scissorhands is a 1990 American romantic dark fantasy film directed by Tim Burton. The film stars Johnny Depp as Edward, a gentle and kind-hearted man with scissors for hands who is taken in by a suburban family after being discovered living alone in a Gothic castle. The film follows Edward as he attempts to adapt to his new surroundings and form relationships with the people around him.

The film explores the themes of isolation, conformity, and acceptance. Edward is an outsider who struggles to fit in with the conformist suburban community that he finds himself in. His unconventional appearance and abilities make him a subject of curiosity and fascination, but also fear and mistrust. The film also touches on the issue of societal norms and the pressures to conform to them, as well as the importance of accepting and embracing differences in others.

Overall, Edward Scissorhands is a visually stunning and emotionally powerful film that has become a classic of the fantasy genre. The film's themes of acceptance and individuality are still relevant today, making it a timeless work of art. Depp delivers a standout performance as Edward, and the supporting cast, including Winona Ryder and Dianne Wiest, add depth and nuance to the film. The film's Gothic aesthetic and haunting score by Danny Elfman add to its beauty and atmosphere, making it a must-see for fans of Burton's work and lovers of fantasy and romance alike.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

The trailer-teasers for Super 8 inspire millions more questions than they answer, but they do give lots of proof the "old Spielberg magic" is on the comeback trail. Super 8's characters, suspense, and imagery strongly remind veteran dreamworkers of ET and Jurassic Park—strangely scary yet still kid-friendly. For all that they tantalize, though, the Super 8 trailers preserve the film's secrets. The State Department and CIA should study in the J.J. Abrams School of Secret-Keeping; even the WikiLeaks guys would struggle to dig up much more than the trailer's suggestion that a bunch of cute and cool kids have to deal with an "unknown incredible creature." All we really know is that, in the small Ohio town, just about everything that can blow up will blow up. Oh yeah, and we know the kids will film everything on their super-8 movie camera."Super 8 may go into Hollywood history as the movie with sibling rivalry in the sub-text. Elle Fanning, Dakota's younger sister, and Amanda Michalka, Allyson's sister, come out of the big kids' shadows and into their own, proving they have talent and skills. The big kids should feel very afraid. Gabriel Basso, the one child star without famous siblings but who may be a direct descendant of Tom Sawyer, continues the tradition of impish, resourceful Spielberg boy-heroes. Kyle Chandler, uber-dad from "Friday Night Lights," brings that same manly command to Super 8, reassuring everyone that everything will be okay.
