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.

It seems absolutely clear that the gap left by ending of Harry Potter and Twilight Saga in 2012 could not be empty for a long time. And, here it is – Warner Bros attempts to bring brand new hit to young adult audience with film adaptation of Kami Garcia's and Margaret Stohl's Beautiful Creatures, a young adult novel which has gotten some very rave reviews in 2009 when it was published by Little, Brown, and Company. So, WB hopes to put a beginning of new money making movie series, by not only taking the very promising book as a storyline but gathering most talented actors to star in the new film. The main protagonist Ethan Wate is portrayed by Alden Ehrenreich, who was "discovered" by Stiven Spielberg and starred in Melanie Shaw's Running Wild and Chan-wook Park's Stoker at the time of Beautiful Creatures release. His character Ethan tries to escape a boring reality of a teenager living in the dead end of the small town. At one day Ethan awakes after a recurring dream about unknown girl. He listens a creepy-hypnotic song called Sixteen Moons on his iPad then smelsl a quite surprising aroma of rosemary and lemon coming from nowhere and goes to school to know that there is a new girl in his class. Meanwhile, returning home he almost runs over this new girl standing in the middle of the road. He hears the familiar Sixteen Moons playing in her car and smells and notes of rosemary and lemon from her hair. Soon, he learns that this new girl is a kind of sorceress, a Caster, and his dream somehow connected with the destiny of this girl. Her name is Lena (Alice Englert) and she is about her sixteen birthday when she has to decide which part of magic force she belongs: Light or Dark.
