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.

Splice

Splice

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Vincenzo Natali's "Splice" is a kind of clever scientific horror about two geneticists who created the monster mix of girl, reptile and the ostrich. "Splice" is not rolled into something too much nerdy and viewers remain involved to a movie plot that makes them cling to the arm of the chair, putting thoughts on lofty matters before leaving the theater. Natali rushed to the scene Chimera in the days of "Cuba", but 90s he had neither the money nor the technical means. Now, there is an opportunity to implement any plan, and with them came to realize: and it is not in favor of CGI industry - just look at what happened to Gilliam and Burton. Natalie is not concerned with: he has bright enough ideas without a CGI. "Splice" justifies tons of meaningless computer graphics that have been poured on us for the last dozen years.

X-Men: First Class

X-Men: First Class

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Do not misread the connotations in the title X-Men: First Class. "First class" is a phrase which here does not mean "the best, the finest, the most luxurious," nor does it signify "the part of the plane with complimentary cocktails and room to stretch out." Take the phrase literally. In strangely oxymoronic style, the studio's promotional materials claim X-Men: First Class "charts the epic beginning (sic) of the X-Men saga," the first group of students to graduate from Professor X's school for reluctant super-heroes. "Who knew an "epic beginning" was possible? In their salad days, Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, ultimately sworn mortal enemies, were the best of buds, experimenting with and testing their newly discovered powers, preparing to join other Mutants to prevent Armageddon. X-Men: First Class documents their nasty break-up. They could not be "just friends.""Although the men allegedly star in X-Men: First Class, the so-called "supporting actresses" threaten to steal the show. January Jones of "Madmen" fame plays Emma Frost, villainesse supreme, co-conspirator with Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, criminal mastermind. More notably, Jennifer Lawrence—yes that Jennifer Lawrence, low-keyed "It Girl" from Winter's Bone and the Oscars' red carpet—plays Mystique, aka Raven Darkholme, shape-shifting mutant. By film's end, girl power may trump super-powers.
