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.

A tremendously successful book Cloud Atlas, which was written by British author David Mitchell in 2004, is laid in the basement of next brothers Wachowsky's movie Cloud Atlas. Of course, no one has expected that Matrix's creators will film something small, but it seems like Cloud Atlas outperformed any possible expectation. The film is so advanced in the meaning of CGI graphics and complicity of the twisted plot that it's undoubtedly destined to become another milestone in cinema industry alongside with The Matrix and Avatar. The movie consists of six stories nailed on each other in some weird way. All of the showcased stories are suddenly interrupting at some point except the last one. The first story begins in 1850 on a frigate sailing across the Pacific Ocean; this story is read by the character of the next story as a diary in 1931 which story is read in letters by Luisa Rey a journalist California, 1975 who writes a manuscript for the novel which is read by Timothy Cavendish, in 21th century UK which story was laid in the center of documentary movie which is watched by Sonmi~451, a genetically-engineered clone in not so distant future who rises a rebellion against totalitarian regime which is lead to "The Fall", an apocalypses which destroys a civilization and forms a tribal societies on Earth. One of the tribesman watches a Sonmi~451's story as holographic movie on his "Orison" device. All the six stories which are nested in the film look like seamlessly connected with each other in the way we did not realize until the movie reaches its turning point, and then we travel back in time from story to story completing them in reverse order and realizing that "Everything is connected".
