The Man with the Scissors: A Classic from the '90s81@ikigaidesign43d
Original stories, straight out of fairy tales, but with a twist—difficult to take in and understand, reminiscent of those classic films—I came across the story of the man with scissors for hands. Does anyone remember it?
Edward Scissorhands, a young man created by a scientist who was unable to finish him, leaving him with scissors in place of hands.
🎬 Edward Scissorhands 🎬
This film was released in 1990, directed by TIM BURTON and starring the now-famous Johnny Depp, alongside actress Winona Ryder.
Here we see a story set in a world of the unimaginable, featuring an eccentric man who works wonders with his scissor hands, creating unique and extraordinary cuts with indescribable simplicity and ingenuity.
But the most peculiar thing about this story is its underlying theme, in which we see how society is swayed by appearances—something we still see today—and in a world full of chaos, when a stranger arrives, unaware of what evil is, he becomes the target of mockery, abuse, and rejection.
Eduardo is a victim of all this, misunderstood in his world, but at the same time, he knows what true love and true friendship are, and that is what he carries in his mind and heart.
It’s a story full of drama, romance, and fantasy; I recommend it to you, in case you haven’t seen it—a classic from the ’90s.
SPANISH VERSION
Historias originales, sacada como de cuentos de hadas, pero con su toque turbulento, difíciles de asimilar y entender, buscando un poco esas películas clásicas, me encontré con la historia del hombre mano de tijeras, ¿alguno la recuerda?
Eduardo Manos de tijeras, un joven creado por un científico, el cual no pudo terminarlo, dejándole unas tijeras como forma de mano.
🎬 Edward Scissorhands 🎬
Este film fue estrenado en el año 1990, dirigida por TIM BURTON y protagonizada por el famoso hoy en día Jhonny Depp, junto a la actriz Winona Ryder.
Aquí vemos una obra recreada en el ambiente de lo inimaginable, un hombre extravagante, que hace maravillas con sus manos de tijeras, cortes únicos y extraordinarios, con una sencillez, e ingenuidad indescriptible.
Pero lo mas peculiar de esta historia es su trasfondo, en el que vemos como la sociedad se deja llevar por las apariencias, algo que aun seguimos viendo hoy en día, y en un mundo lleno de caos, que llegue alguien extraño, sin conocimiento de lo que es la maldad, es objetivo de burlas, maltrato y rechazo.
Eduardo es victima de todo esto, en su mundo incomprendido, pero a la vez, conoce lo que es el verdadero amor, y la amistad verdadera, y eso es lo que se lleva en su mente y corazón.
Es una historia llena de drama, romance y fantasía, se las recomiendo, por si no la han visto, un clásico de los 90.

SPANISH VERSION
Hola, fanáticos del cine gótico. Continuamos con más de este especial de Tim Burton, esta vez trayéndoles una de mis cintas favoritas de toda su filmografía. Una película ultra infravalorada que, al día de hoy, se ha convertido en una obra maestra del cine gótico y fantástico. Basada en una historia coescrita por él, Edward Scissorhands fue producida y dirigida por el grandioso Tim Burton. La película cuenta también con el protagonismo de Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Kathy Baker, Vincent Price y Alan Arkin. Conoce la película que nos enseña a no temer a lo que es diferente.
The film begins by showing us the interior of a room in a house in a small suburb in the middle of a snowy night. An elderly woman says goodbye to her granddaughter, who is lying in bed, but she asks her to tell her where the snow comes from. The old woman decides to tell her a story about "scissors", more specifically about a man with scissor hands. At the top of the hill in that village stands a gloomy castle that, according to legend, is cursed. An inventor lived there who created many things, including a 100% artificial man with organs, a heart, and a brain, but no hands.

Trama
La película inicia mostrándonos el interior de una habitación de la casa de un pequeño suburbio en plena noche cubierta de nieve. Una señora ya anciana se despide de su nieta quien está acostada, pero ella le pide que le cuente de dónde es que viene la nieve. La anciana decide contarle una historia de “tijeras”, más en especial de un hombre con manos de tijeras. En la cima de la colina que hay en ese pueblo hay un sombrío castillo que, según dicen, está maldito. Allí vivía un inventor que creó muchas cosas, entre ellas un hombre 100% artificial con órganos, corazón, cerebro, pero sin manos.
It's no exaggeration to say that I've seen this movie countless times since I was a child. It's definitely one of my favorite Tim Burton films, not only for its visual appeal, but also for its story and characters. Clearly, the first thing that always caught my attention was the appearance of the main character, Edward, and it's no wonder why. But beyond a few unforgettable scenes and the occasional supporting character, the film indirectly influenced my taste for the gothic and the unusual. Ironically, this is precisely what the story told here is about.
Despite the number of times I've seen it, it wasn't until now that I realized many interesting things that it shows us throughout its hour and forty minutes. It's normal that, with age, your perception of things you saw before changes quite a bit, but what happens with Edward Scissorhands is quite interesting because it was easy for me to understand the background of everything it tells us. From the beginning, we are introduced to the story of a man who was artificially created but remained incomplete and therefore has scissors instead of hands.
SPANISH VERSION
No es exageración decirles que he visto esta película muchísimas veces desde que era un niño. Definitivamente es de mis películas favoritas de Tim Burton, no solo por su aspecto visual, sino por su historia y personajes como tal. Claramente, lo primero que siempre me llamó la atención es la apariencia del personaje principal, Edward, y no es para menos. Pero más allá de unas cuantas escenas inolvidables y uno que otro personaje secundario, la película impactó de forma indirecta en mis gustos por lo gótico y lo diferente. Irónicamente, es de esto mismo de lo que trata dicha historia que nos cuenta aquí.
A pesar de la cantidad de veces que la ví, no fue sino ahora que me di cuenta de muchas cosas interesantes que nos muestra a lo largo de su hora y cuarenta minutos de duración. Es normal que, con la edad, tu percepción de la cosas que veías antes cambien bastante, pero lo que sucede con Edward Scissorhands es bastante interesante ya que no me costó nada comprender muy bien el trasfondo de todo lo que nos cuenta. Desde el principio ya nos introducen con una historia de un hombre creado artificialmente, pero que quedó incompleto y que por eso tiene tijeras en vez de manos.
What's interesting is not only this, but also where she lives, a small suburb of colorful houses with typical families of that era. One day, a cosmetics saleswoman has no luck presenting her new products to her neighbors, which makes her decide to try her luck at the dark and desolate castle at the end of the street. The woman enters the main courtyard, fascinated by the appearance of the trees and the view. She enters the huge house and goes up to the top floor after hearing footsteps, and at the top, she encounters a man in a black suit, with disheveled hair, pale skin, and scissor hands.
Upon encountering our strange friend named Edward, our cosmetics saleswoman comes up with the "great" idea of taking him home to live with her. Without consulting anyone, she takes Edward in her car to her house, but on the way, several neighbors who are walking around notice this, talk about what they saw among themselves, and decide to go and see who the person walking with our saleswoman is. The neighbors' reaction and the behavior of the saleswoman's husband and youngest son are anything but uncomfortable. In fact, the neighbors are the ones most interested in meeting Edward.
SPANISH VERSION
Lo interesante no es solo esto, sino el lugar donde vive, siendo un pequeño suburbio de casas coloridas con familias típicas de aquella época. Un día, una vendedora de cosméticos no tiene suerte al presentar sus nuevos productos ante sus vecinas, lo cual hace que decida ir a probar yendo al oscuro y desolado castillo que hay al final de la calle. La señora entra al patio principal fascinada por el aspecto que tienen los árboles y la vista. Entra a la enorme casa y sube al piso más alto luego de escuchar ciertas pisadas y, en la cima, se encuentra con un hombre con traje de negro, cabello desaliñado, piel pálida y manos de tijeras.
Al toparse con nuestro extraño amigo llamado Edward, a nuestra vendedora de cosméticos se le ocurre la “grandiosa” idea de llevárselo a vivir a su casa. Sin consultarlo a nadie, ella se lleva a Edward en su auto a la casa, pero en el camino varias vecinas que andan en los alrededores se dan cuenta de esto, hablan de lo que vieron entre ellas y deciden ir a ver para descubrir quién es la persona que anda con nuestra vendedora. La reacción de los vecinos, el comportamiento del esposo y el hijo menor de la vendedora son todo lo contrario a incomodidad. Es más, las vecinas son quienes más interés tienen por conocer a Edward.
This story has several underlying themes that are very interesting, themes that the members of this town are interested in with the visit of our young man with scissor hands. The first thing to note about all this is the life these people lead, interested in material things, appearances, and the physical. With their colorful and eye-catching houses and clothes, we can sense how this society appears to be good people, which they are not really. In the presence of our Edward, people begin to talk, gossip, and judge everything this individual does. It is as if it were all a spectacle for them.
This selfish display of interest that we see in this film intensifies as the minutes pass when they discover that Edward has a great ability with his scissor hands. They ask him to trim their gardens, their dogs, and even their own hair. On the other hand, being an artificial human being, Edward shows a certain distrust and fear of the people who approach him. However, with the help of the cosmetics lady, he gradually loosens up and we see him treating people normally. It is not until the children of these families come home from college that everything turns into chaos.
SPANISH VERSION
Esta historia posee varios temas a tratar de fondo que causan mucho interés, interés mismo que tienen los miembros de este pueblo con la visita de nuestro joven manos de tijeras. Lo primero a destacar de todo esto es la vida que lleva esta gente, interesada en lo material, las apariencias y lo físico. Con sus casas y ropas tan coloridas y llamativas podemos sentir cómo esta sociedad aparenta ser buena gente, cosa que no son realmente. Ante la presencia de nuestro Edward, la gente empieza a hablar, chismosear y juzgar cada cosa que este individuo hace. Es como si fuera todo un espectáculo para ellos.
Esta egoísta demostración de interés que vemos en esta película se intensifica con el paso de los minutos cuando descubren que Edward posee una gran habilidad con sus manos de tijeras. Les piden que le corten sus jardines, sus perros y hasta sus propios cabellos. En cambio, al ser un ser humano artificial, Edward demuestra cierta desconfianza y temor ante la gente que se le acerca. Sin embargo, con la ayuda de la señora de los cosméticos, él se va soltando poco a poco y lo vemos tratando a la gente con normalidad. No es sino cuando los hijos de estas familias vienen de la universidad que todo se vuelve un caos.
In short, typical American youth of that era. Couples of rebellious delinquents and troublemakers interested in money, having a nice car, drinking, or going to parties. Edward's life in these suburbs is anything but fun, if you ask me. Maybe it's because I share what it's like to live alone and all that, although unlike Edward, I do it by choice. The thing is, all our gothic protagonist learns in this city is pure trauma, social, moral, and legal problems, and a bunch of complex issues like bank loans, social security, and mortgages.
Another thing we notice is the way people see and treat Edward, not as a human being, but as a specimen, an object of utility and entertainment. When our protagonist has problems or makes mistakes, the people around him judge him and distance themselves from him as if he were dangerous. On the other hand, Edward is only interested in what he can do with his scissor hands and in keeping people away by doing them all kinds of favors. But something new is born within him, and it intensifies as he spends time with Kim, the cosmetics lady's daughter.
SPANISH VERSION
En fin, lo típico de jóvenes estadounidenses de aquella época. Parejas de delincuentes rebeldes y buscapleitos interesados en el dinero, tener un lindo auto, beber o ir a fiestas. La vida de Edward en estos suburbios es todo menos divertida, si me lo preguntan. Tal vez sea porque comparto lo que es vivir solo y todo eso, aunque a diferencia de Edward, yo lo hago por elección. Y es que todo lo que aprende nuestro gótico protagonista en esta ciudad son puros traumas, problemas sociales, morales, legales y un montón de temas complejos como préstamos bancarios, seguros sociales o hipotecas.
Otra cosa que notamos es la forma en la que la gente ve y considera a Edward, no como un ser humano, sino como un espécimen, un objeto de utilidad y entretenimiento. Cuando nuestro protagonista tiene problemas o comete errores, la gente de su alrededor lo juzga y se aleja de él como si fuera alguien peligroso. En cambio, a Edward lo único que le interesa es lo que puede hacer con sus manos de tijeras y alejar a la gente haciéndole todo tipo de favores. Pero algo nuevo nace dentro de él y eso se intensifica a medida que pasa tiempo con Kim, la hija de la señora de los cosméticos.
I don't have much to say about this character, since she is almost always seen with her boyfriend since her appearance in the film. Unfortunately for our protagonist, she does not show interest in him like the others do because she sees him as strange and dangerous. Later, we see some development in their relationship, but it is not until the end that this happens. Even so, regardless of what she has or has not done, my view of Kim remains that she is simply a hormonal girl with a certain sense of justice. As for the romance we see in this film, I will only say that I liked how it was developed through the direction, cinematography, and visual artistry.
Regardless of what I think of the characters, there are scenes that are simply fascinating due to their audiovisual aspect. Tim Burton definitely knows how to thrill us in a unique way with his films. I honestly think it was good that the relationship between Kim and Edward was as we see it in this film. This strays a bit from the typical love story that Hollywood always tells us, which only focuses on the physical and the usual clichés. Apart from the interest in what is different and how easy it is to judge others without even getting to know them well, this film shows us an excellent example of pure love.
SPANISH VERSION
Con respecto a este personaje no tengo mucho que decir ya que desde su aparición en la película la vemos casi siempre con su novio. Lamentablemente para nuestro protagonista, ella no muestra interés en él al igual que lo hacen los demás debido a que lo ve como alguien extraño y peligroso. Luego es que vemos un cierto desarrollo en su relación, pero no es sino hasta el final que llega a suceder esto. Igualmente, por mucho que haya hecho o no, mi visión de Kim no cambia a ser simplemente una chica hormonal y con cierto sentido de justicia. En cuanto al romance que vemos en esta película solo diré que me gustó cómo nos lo desarrolla la dirección, la fotografía y el arte visual que tiene.
Sin importar lo que piense de los personajes, hay escenas que simplemente fascinan bastante debido a su aspecto audiovisual. Tim Burton definitivamente sabe cómo hacernos emocionar de manera única con sus películas. Sinceramente pienso que estuvo bien que la relación entre Kim y Edward fuera tal y como lo vemos en esta película. Esto escapa un poco de la típica historia de amor que nos cuenta siempre Hollywood que solo se fija en lo físico y los típicos clichés de siempre. Aparte del interés por lo diferente y lo fácil que es juzgar a los demás sin siquiera llegar a conocerlos bien, esta película nos muestra un excelente ejemplo de amor puro.
And yes, I feel a little strange talking about this, but I won't deny that I'm a complete romantic and watching this movie completely fascinated me. When I finished watching it a few hours ago, I couldn't help but compare it to fantasy classics such as Beauty and the Beast or even the story of Frankenstein itself. Perhaps Tim Burton, with his great imagination and unique storytelling style, created this film inspired by the classics I've mentioned. I don't know, but whatever the case, it turned out spectacular. Apart from that, Johnny Depp, as always, does an excellent job playing Edward.
It's hard not to identify with this character, especially me, considering myself a complete stranger to today's society. Everything our protagonist experiences in this story leaves us with a clear life lesson: no one is evil by nature; it is society that turns you into a danger. I know what I've just written sounds very nihilistic, but in a sense, that's how it is in real life. Because of everything we experience and suffer today, it's hard not to be traumatized, upset, or hate certain things. Sometimes we prefer to get away from it all to find the peace that the world is always searching for.
SPANISH VERSION
Y si, me siento un poco extraño hablando de esto, pero no voy a negar que soy un completo romántico y ver esta película me fascinó por completo. Cuando la terminé de ver hace unas horas no pude evitar compararla con clásicos de fantasía como lo son La Bella y la Bestia o hasta la misma historia de Frankenstein. Tal vez Tim Burton, con su grandiosa imaginación y su estilo único de contar historias, haya creado esta película estando inspirado en estos clásicos que les he mencionado. No lo sé, pero sea como sea le quedó espectacular. Aparte de esto, Johnny Depp, como siempre, hace un trabajo excelente interpretando a Edward.
Es difícil no sentirse identificado con este personaje, sobre todo yo al considerarme un completo extraño ante la sociedad actual. Todo lo que experimenta nuestro protagonista en esta historia nos deja una clara lección de vida: nadie es malvado por naturaleza, es la sociedad la que te convierte en un peligro. Sé que suena muy nihilista esto que acabo de escribir, pero en cierto sentido es así en la vida real. Debido a todo lo que vivimos y padecemos en la actualidad es difícil no traumarse, emocionarse u odiar ciertas cosas. A veces preferimos alejarnos de todo para encontrar esa paz que el mundo siempre busca.
But there is also another side to all this that this film teaches us, and that is what we truly feel, what we truly are, and what the people we truly care about feel and think. In the end, it is not what people say about us, but what we believe ourselves to be that defines us. This is one of the many lessons we learn from this film's fantastic love story. Another thing I like about this film is how tragic the love story is. As strange as it may sound, the ending of this film is a clear example that not every love story has a happy ending.
Last but not least, let's talk about its audiovisual aspect. Tim Burton had already defined his own style of directing and producing by the time he made this film, which is why we notice from the beginning how gothic, strange, and at the same time fantastic everything is. There is also the issue of photography, the mixture of bright and varied color palettes with dark and cold ones. The same is true of the practical visual effects, the makeup, and the visual appearance of the castle and even Edward himself. The sound effects stand out quite a bit, but nothing compared to the soundtrack, which is one of my favorites thanks to the work of Danny Elfman. In short, here's a gothic film that you have to see.
Personally, I give it a well-deserved rating of 9.5/10 in terms of the romance and fantasy genre.
SPANISH VERSION
Pero también hay otra parte de todo esto que nos enseña esta película y es lo que de verdad sentimos, lo que de verdad somos y lo que siente y piensa la gente que de verdad nos importa. Al final, no es lo que la gente dice de nosotros, sino lo que creemos que somos en realidad lo que nos identifica. Esta es una de las varias lecciones que nos deja esta fantástica historia de amor que tiene esta película. Otra cosa que me gusta de esta película es lo trágica que es dicha historia de amor. Por muy extraño que suene esto, el final de esta película es una muestra clara de que no toda historia de amor tiene un final feliz.
Por último, pero no menos importante, hablemos ahora de su aspecto audiovisual. Tim Burton ya tenía definido su propio estilo de dirección y producción al momento de hacer esta película, es por eso que desde el principio notamos lo gótico, extraño y a la vez lo fantástico que es todo. También está el tema de la fotografía, la mezcla de paletas de colores vivos y variados a oscuros y fríos. Lo mismo sucede con los efectos visuales prácticos, el maquillaje y el aspecto visual del castillo y hasta del mismo Edward. Los efectos de sonido se destacan bastante, pero nada comparado con su banda sonora siendo una de mis favoritas gracias al trabajo de Danny Elfman. En fin, aquí les dejo una cinta gótica que tienen que ver sí o sí.
Personalmente, le doy una merecida calificación de 9.5/10 en lo que respecta al género de romance y fantasía.
Tell me, have you seen this movie yet? What did you think of it? You can leave your answer in the comments.
Dime, ¿ya has visto esta película? ¿Qué te ha parecido? Puedes dejarme tu respuesta en los comentarios.

The story of the young scissorhands is summarized in a young man created by an inventor who did not have time to complete it because he suffered a heart attack. Edward (Jhonny Deep) was only missing his hands which were replaced by a pair of scissors. An amateur make-up artist met the young man in the middle of a search for clients and after the encounter decided to take him home so that he could integrate into society. The indifference of the people to the unknown made Edward, despite having fallen in love with Kim (Winona Ryder) who was his true love in real life, force him to move away and never return. But in her there always remained his memory and love in the deepest part of his heart.
Although the film is a bit dated and lacking in special effects for me it was one of Burton's best works. Who did not hesitate for a second to call Depp to play Edward. I honestly enjoyed this installment very much and although Depp never ceased to amaze me, many times he brought tears to my eyes with his brilliant performance and faith in himself.
Edward represented the novel, the misunderstood, the forbidden. But he was also the turning point between the real and the fantasy between what is presented to us in youth and what we desire for life with faults and virtues. For me and having seen it on more than one occasion the film still unleashes feelings that only someone who truly understands Edward knows how to overcome.
I believe that films like this one are an example that the old was not only history, but that even in modern times they are sometimes better than so much trash and so much dazzle.
So if you still haven't found a nice film for a healthy summer and more if they are fantastic for romance and why not drama I recommend this brilliant installment full of mystery, love and adventure.

La historia del joven Manostijeras se resume en un joven creado por un inventor que no tuvo tiempo de completarla debido a un infarto. A Edward (Johnny Deep) solo le faltaban las manos, que fueron reemplazadas por unas tijeras. Una maquilladora aficionada conoció al joven mientras buscaba clientes y, tras el encuentro, decidió llevarlo a casa para que pudiera integrarse en la sociedad. La indiferencia de la gente hacia lo desconocido hizo que Edward, a pesar de haberse enamorado de Kim (Winona Ryder), quien fue su verdadero amor en la vida real, lo obligara a mudarse y nunca regresar. Pero en ella siempre permaneció su recuerdo y amor en lo más profundo de su corazón.
Aunque la película está un poco anticuada y le faltan efectos especiales, para mí fue una de las mejores obras de Burton, quien no dudó ni un segundo en llamar a Depp para interpretar a Edward. Sinceramente, disfruté muchísimo de esta entrega y, aunque Depp nunca dejó de sorprenderme, muchas veces me hizo llorar con su brillante actuación y su fe en sí mismo.
Edward representó lo novedoso, lo incomprendido, lo prohibido. Pero también fue el punto de inflexión entre lo real y lo fantástico, entre lo que se nos presenta en la juventud y lo que deseamos para la vida, con defectos y virtudes. Para mí, y habiéndola visto en más de una ocasión, la película aún despierta sentimientos que solo quien realmente comprende a Edward sabe cómo superar.
Creo que películas como esta son un ejemplo de que lo antiguo no solo es historia, sino que incluso en los tiempos modernos a veces son mejores que tanta basura y tanta deslumbramiento.
Así que, si aún no has encontrado una buena película para un verano saludable, y más aún si son fantásticas para el romance y, por qué no, el drama, te recomiendo esta brillante entrega llena de misterio, amor y aventuras.
›CineTV Contest: Edward Scissorhands my first memories about movies (EN/ES)@ismaelgranados737d
English
Hello friends of Hive, before I close this contest I want to tell you about my favorite movie with Johnny Depp as the main character, the truth is I haven't seen many, I can count them on the fingers of one hand, I think Pirates of the Caribbean was what boosted his career, because of it everyone knew him, that saga was a big box office hit. However, although I think his Pirates of the Caribbean movies are good, Edward Scissorhands is the most impressive thing I've seen, and it takes me back to my childhood, it's such an iconic movie that I think we all remember it from the first time we saw it.
When I think of this movie, I see myself about 5 years old, on a Sunday in front of the TV watching one of the local channels, and that classic dubbing voice saying, "Edward Scissorhands" a movie that was probably not for children, but I think that before the unsuitable scenes were somewhat disguised or were so subtle that really in our innocence we didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
I recently went back to this movie, and I was surprised how young Winona Rider was, I did not remember her, and as I saw her last time in Stranger Things, I was surprised by the change although I must say that nowadays she is quite well preserved. On the other hand speaking of Johny Depp, who is the one who concerns us, I find an exceptional performance, as his character conveys emotions just with his look, I think his look is the most memorable in my case, that look between sadness, uncertainty, that feeling of not belonging, is the first thing that comes to my mind when I remember this character.
On the other hand, the wardrobe in his different presentations is incredible, so Tim Burton, from the most freak, to the most grunge, punk or I don't know specifically what trend he followed but it was a mixture of several styles, I saw that the hair was inspired by Robert Smith of The Cure, the truth is that it looks quite similar.
Another thing that I remember and that caught my attention was the use of colors, I think pastel colors were often used for scenes inside the house or on the facades of houses, gardens, they had a warm totality quite eighties.
I find it very curious how Tim Burton knows how to make the most of Jhony Depp's talent, they are practically an artistic marriage, and I'm not sure about it, but I imagine that Edward Scissorhands was the beginning of this artist-director relationship, which has entertained us so much with the seventh art. .
I would like to talk more about this movie, review every aspect but really it's been many years since I saw it, and when I talk about it I connect with my past and I wanted to be spontaneous in my writing without so much planning and review structure.
Thank you very much .
Español
Hola amigos de Hive, antes de que cierre este concurso quiero hablarles de mi película favorita con Johnny Depp como protagonista, la verdad no he visto muchas, las puedo contar con los dedos de una mano, creo que piratas del Caribe fue lo que impulsó su carrera, pues por ella todo el mundo lo conoció, fue muy taquillera esa saga. Sin embargo, aunque me parecen buenas sus películas de piratas del caribe, El joven manos de tijeras es lo más impactante que he visto, y me lleva a mi infancia, es una película tan icónica que creo que todos la tenemos presente desde la primera vez que la vimos.
Cuando pienso en esta película, me veo a mi mismo de unos 5 años, un domingo frente al televisor viendo uno de los canales locales, y esa clásica voz del doblaje diciendo, “El joven manos de tijera” una película que probablemente no era para niños, pero creo que antes las escenas no aptas iban algo disfrazadas o eran tan sutiles que realmente en nuestra inocencia no notábamos nada fuera de lo común.
Hace poco volví a esta película, y me sorprendió lo joven que estaba Winona Rider, no la recordaba, y como la vi la última vez en Stranger Things , me sorprendió el cambió aunque debió decir que en la actualidad se conserva bastante bien. Por otro lado hablando de Johny Depp, que es quien nos compete, me parece un actuación excepcional, como su personaje transmite emociones solo con su mirada, creo que su mirada es lo más memorable en mi caso, esa mirada entre tristeza , incertidumbre, esa sensación de no pertenecer, es lo mi primero que se me viene a la mente al recordar este personaje.
Por su parte el vestuario en sus diferentes presentaciones es increíble, tan Tim Burton, desde lo más freak , hasta los más grunge, punk o no sé específicamente que tendencia seguía pero era una mezcla de varios estilos, por allí vi que el cabello, estaba inspirado en Robert Smith de The cure, la verdad es que si se parece bastante .
Otra cosa que recuerdo y que me llamaba la atención era el uso de los colores, creo que se utilizaba con frecuencia los colores pasteles para las escenas dentro de casa o en las fachadas de viviendas, los jardines, tenían una totalidad cálida bastante ochentera.
Me parece muy curioso como Tim Burton sabe aprovechar al máximo el talento de Jhony Depp, son prácticamente un matrimonio artístico, y no estoy seguro de ello, pero imagino que El joven manos de tijeras fue el principio de esta relación artista-director, que tanto nos ha entretenido con el séptimo arte.
Me gustaría hablar más de esta película, reseñar cada aspecto pero realmente hace muchos años que la vi, y al hablar de ella conecto es con mi pasado y pues quise ser espontaneo en mi escrito sin tanta planificación y estructura de reseña. Gracias por su atención
Hello to everyone in the CineTV community! Today I join the community to participate in the #109 contest with the theme of this opportunity: Jhonny Deep's favorite movie. I couldn't contain myself with the choice I made about my favorite movie where this actor participates. Usually he is not one of my favorites but I can remember how he won my esteem in the first movie I saw of his: "Young Scissorhands". A movie that I'm sure many of you also appreciate not only for the nostalgia factor, but for how touching, meaningful and endearing it is let's start with it!
"Young Scissorhands" is from 1990. By that year I didn't even exist, but I remember watching it as a child back in 2005-2006. By that time, at home we had an old TV that was our only source for watching movies, shows or series. I liked to wait for the weekend because there was always a marathon of movies of all kinds. Among those, one day they aired "The Young Scissorhands". With that sweet beginning, of an old woman telling Edward's story to her little granddaughter, I got caught up in the movie. A total beauty in every way.
¡Hola a todos en la comunidad de CineTV! El día de hoy me uno a la comunidad para participar en el concurso #109 con el tema de esta oportunidad: película favorita de Jhonny Deep. No pude contenerme con la elección que he tomado sobre mí película favorita dónde participa este actor. Usualmente él no es uno de mis preferidos pero puedo recordar cómo se ganó mi estima en la primera película que ví de él: "El Joven Manos de Tijera". Una película que estoy seguro muchos de ustedes también aprecian no solo por el factor nostalgia, sino por lo conmovedora, significativa y entrañable qué es ¡comencemos con ello!
"El Joven Manos de Tijeras" es del año 1990. Para ese año yo ni siquiera existía, pero recuerdo haberla vista cuando era una niña por allá en los años 2005-2006. Para ese tiempo, en casa nosotros teníamos un televisor antiguo que era nuestra única fuente para ver películas, programas o series. Me gustaba esperar el fin de semana porque siempre pasaban una maratón de películas de todo tipo. Dentro de esas, un buen día transmitieron "El Joven Manos de Tijeras". Con ese comienzo tan dulce, de una anciana contándole la historia de Edward a su pequeña nieta, quedé atrapada en la película. Una belleza total en todos los sentidos.
For me this film takes the title of favorite for several reasons. Tim Burton's aesthetic, with those colorful sets and characters in contrast to a grim/achromatic Edward, is a plus. That image of Deep with his "disheveled" hair, his shredded and tattered clothes, plus his giant and varied scissors on his limbs, is something that makes an impact but at the same time seems harmless. Deep is able to make us feel comfortable with something that in any other context we would feel rejection. We love Edward. We identify with Edward and his discomfort in front of this world that is totally different from what he knows and is, but that in spite of it he tries to make it his own (to adapt/be accepted). A bit sad.
For me, Deep's work is very good because he fits so well within Tim Burton's universe. That concept of "the strange being beautiful" is what Deep conveys in the character of Edward throughout the film. If that's not reason enough to like it, I don't know what else could be better. There's no way you could find Edward to be terrible (even during his worst moments). Although the "tenderness" is not the only thing here (although I would say it's more like innocence), as the film is more about a society's rejection of what's different, I think Edward's sacrifice at the end of the film reaffirms what I said above about the nobility of heart that Deep embodies so well. Finally, it's a classic and I like classics. With nothing more to say, thanks for stopping by, see you next time.
Para mí esta película se lleva el titulo de favorita por varias razones. La estética de Tim Burton, con esos escenarios y personajes coloridos en contraste con un Edward lúgubre/acromatico, es un punto a favor. Esa imágen de Deep con sus cabellos "alborotados", su ropa desgastada y hecha trizas, más sus gigantes y variadas tijeras que tiene en sus extremidades, es algo que impacta pero que al mismo tiempo nos parece inofensiva. Deep es capaz de hacernos sentir cómodos con algo que en cualquier otro contexto sentiríamos rechazo. Amamos a Edward. Nos identificamos con Edward y su incomodidad frente a este mundo qué es totalmente diferente a lo que él conoce y él es, pero que a pesar de ello intenta hacerlo propio (adaptarse/ser aceptado). Un poco triste.
Para mí, el trabajo de Deep es muy bueno pues por algo encaja tan bien dentro de ese universo de Tim Burton. Ese concepto de "lo extraño siendo algo bello", es lo que nos transmite Deep en el personaje de Edward durante toda la película. Si eso no es razón suficiente para que te guste, no sé cuál otra podría ser mejor. No hay forma de que Edward te parezca terrible (incluso durante sus peores momentos). Aunque la "ternura" no es lo único aquí (aunque yo diría qué es más bien inocencia), pues la película nos habla más sobre el rechazo de una sociedad a lo diferente, creo que el sacrificio de Edward al final de la película, reafirma lo anteriormente dicho sobre la nobleza del corazón qué Deep encarna muy bien. Finalmente, es un clásico y a mi gustan los clásicos. Sin más nada que decir, gracias por pasar por aquí, nos vemos en la próxima.
Hola y buenas tardes amigos del cine. Espero que esten bien. En el dia de hoy me gustaría hacer referencia a una película muy interesante y llena de reflexiones. La cinta se titula Eduardo Manos Tijeras y es una producción de Tim Burton donde el personaje protagonista principal es de Jhonny Depp.
La película fue un estreno en los años 1990 y al principio cuando la visualice por primera vez no comprendia muchas escenas. Pero después que la vi varias veces fui comprendiendo su complejidad.
La trama del filme comienza cuando se muestra una mansión oscura y sombria donde en su interior hace algunos años vivio un inventor que poco a poco comenzo a crear un hombre. Pensó que lo terminaria pero su corazón fallo antes de terminarlo. Al joven solo le faltaban las manos. Este pequeño detalle junto a sus demás rasgos distintivos fueron motivo de curiosidad para una maquillista profesional que poco a poco se fue encariñando con su historia. Lo llevo a su casa y lo fue integrando a la sociedad pero Edward se sentia alejado, acomplejado y con pocas esperanzas de poder encontrar a alguien que lo quisiera a pesar de sus defectos. Fue entonces cuando se enamoró de la hija de la estilista y alli lo que en un momento fue un éxito taquillero se transformó en la vida real del actor protagónico. Aunque el final no fue el mas feliz de todos porque Eduard tuvo que continuar viviendo alejado del pueblo la película cautivo a todos por los diferentes enseñanzas que transmitia.
Una de las cosas que nos enseñó es lo difícil que es vivir en sociedad cuando eres diferente. Las personas que te rodean no se adaptan a lo nuevo y con sus acciones muchas veces hieren a los demás.
La actuación de Jhonny y Winnona quedaron en mi memoria porque fue tan especial el sentimiento que mostraron que me hubiera gustado mucho haberme topado con una escena como esa. Aquí la ingeniosidad de Tim al mostrar lo difícil que es vivir en sociedad nos ayuda a manejar muchas cosas con las cuales tenemos que lidiar a diario. Pero siempre es bueno estar seguros de sí mismos aunque no estemos a tono.
No me imagino otro Edward sin Jhonny porque su expresividad y naturalidad con la que defiende cada una de las lineas del guión lo hacen único y especial.
En el título del contenido reflejo que el filme es una cinta Biográfica y lo digo porque es un reflejo casi exacto de la vida personal del productor. Cuando este vio el resultado de su trabajo no dudo en un segundo en seguir buscando a Jhonny para cada una de las cintas que presentaria porque según el "Depp es una copia casi exacta de si mismo".
En lo personal soy amante del filme y cada vez que lo veo derramo varias lágrimas durante el proyecto. Entonces amigos espero que les aya gustado esta entrega de hoy y que se ayan animado a disfrutar de esta película tan bonita y llena de contrastes.
Hello and good afternoon friends of the cinema. I hope you are well. Today I would like to refer to a very interesting movie full of reflections. The film is called Edward Scissorhands and is a Tim Burton production where the main protagonist is Johnny Depp.
The movie was released in the 1990's and at the beginning when I saw it for the first time I didn't understand many scenes. But after I watched it several times I began to understand its complexity.
The plot of the film begins when it shows a dark and gloomy mansion where inside some years ago lived an inventor who gradually began to create a man. He thought he would finish it but his heart failed before finishing it. The young man was only missing his hands. This small detail along with his other distinctive features were a source of curiosity for a professional make-up artist who gradually became attached to his story. She took him home and integrated him into society, but Edward felt alienated, self-conscious and with little hope of finding someone who would send him because of his defects. It was then when he fell in love with the daughter of the stylist and there what was once a blockbuster became the real life of the leading actor. Although the ending was not the happiest of all because Eduard had to continue living away from the village, the film captivated everyone because of the different teachings it transmitted.
One of the things he taught us is how difficult it is to live in society when you are different. The people around you don't adapt to the new and with their actions they often hurt others.
Jhonny and Winnona's performance stayed in my memory because it was so special the feeling they showed that I would have loved to have come across a scene like that. Here Tim's wit in showing how difficult it is to live in society helps us deal with many things we have to deal with on a daily basis. But it's always good to be sure of ourselves even if we're not in tune.
I can't imagine another Edward without Jhonny because his expressiveness and naturalness with which he defends each of the lines of the script make him unique and special.
In the title of the content I reflect that the film is a biographical film and I say this because it is an almost exact reflection of the personal life of the producer. When he saw the result of his work, he did not hesitate for a second to keep looking for Johnny for each of the films he would present because according to him "Depp is an almost exact copy of himself".
Personally I am a lover of the film and every time I watch it I shed several tears during the project. So friends, I hope you liked today's installment and that you have been encouraged to enjoy this beautiful film full of contrasts.

Hello, Hive movie buffs!

I leave you with the review, I hope you like it c:
La película, "Edward manos de tijera" fue dirigida por el genio Tim Burton y estrenada en el año 1990. Esta película es muy conocida por su estilo visual diferente y por su narrativa conmovedora. A continuación les haré un análisis mas detallado de esta:
The movie, "Edward Scissorhands" was directed by the genius Tim Burton and released in 1990. This movie is well known for its different visual style and touching narrative. Below I will give you a more detailed analysis of it:
Uno de los aspectos que mas destaca en la película es su estilo visual distintivo. Tim Burton se encargó de crear un mundo gótico y misterioso, que contrasta con la monotonía del resto. Los escenarios extravagantes, el uso de colores vivos y los personajes excéntricos como Edward, hacen que la película sea inolvidable cuando de estética se habla.
One of the most striking aspects of the film is its distinctive visual style. Tim Burton was in charge of creating a gothic and mysterious world, which contrasts with the monotony of the rest. The extravagant scenery, the use of bright colors and eccentric characters like Edward, make the film unforgettable when it comes to aesthetics.
Edward, interpretado por ✨Johnny Depp✨ es un ser artificial creado por un inventor que murió de un paro cardiaco antes de poder hacerle manos de verdad. Es por ello que en su lugar, Edward tiene unas tijeras. Este rasgo físico lo hace obviamente muy inusual y peligroso para las personas de los alrededores, pero a la vez, lo convierte es un ser solitario y desafortunado.
Edward, played by ✨Johnny Depp✨ is an artificial being created by an inventor who died of cardiac arrest before he could make him real hands. That's why in his place, Edward has a pair of scissors. This physical trait makes him obviously very unusual and dangerous for the people around, but at the same time, it makes him a lonely and unfortunate being.
La exclusión y la diferencia // Exclusion and difference
La película aborda temas de exclusión y cómo la sociedad a menudo rechaza lo que es diferente. Edward es una metáfora de la exclusión social y de lo difícil que es para la personas el comprender y aceptar lo que está fuera de lo común. A medida que avanza la historia, podemos observar como la comunidad lo adora por sus dones, pero luego lo rechaza por su apariencia.
The film addresses issues of exclusion and how society often rejects what is different. Edward is a metaphor for social exclusion and how difficult it is for people to understand and accept what is out of the ordinary. As the story progresses, we can see how the community adores him for his gifts, but then rejects him for his appearance.
La película se centra mas que todo en la búsqueda de Edward por amor y aceptación. A medida que se integra en la comunidad, éste desarrolla relaciones cercanas con los vecinos, en especial con Kim (Winona Ryder), de la cual llega a sentirse atraído y desde ahí empieza a experimentar el deseo de ser aceptado por quienes lo rodean. Su historia de amor con la chica (Kim) es algo conmovedora y en lo personal triste, pues se enfrentan a grandes retos debido a sus notables diferencias.
The film focuses primarily on Edward's search for love and acceptance. As he integrates into the community, he develops close relationships with the neighbors, especially Kim (Winona Ryder), to whom he becomes attracted and from there begins to experience the desire to be accepted by those around him. His love story with the girl (Kim) is somewhat touching and personally sad, as they face great challenges due to their notable differences.
La música de Danny Elfman es otro elemento a destacar de la película, pues ésta encaja muy bien con la atmosfera de la historia.
Danny Elfman's music is another highlight of the film, as it fits very well with the atmosphere of the story.
En resumen, "Edward manos de tijera", es una película que combina la fantasía, el romance, el drama y la comedia. Nos entrega una gran reflexión sobre, la aceptación, la diferencia y la naturaleza humana. La excelente actuación de Johnny Depp y la visión artística del director, hacen de ésta película un clásico atemporal que hace parte de la cultura cinéfila.
In summary, "Edward Scissorhands" is a film that combines fantasy, romance, drama and comedy. It delivers a great reflection on acceptance, difference and human nature. Johnny Depp's excellent performance and the director's artistic vision make this film a timeless classic that is part of the movie culture.
Hoy quiero hablar un poco de esta gran pelicula que es una de mis favoritas, el "Joven mano de tijeras" o "Edward Scissorhands" como es su titulo original en ingles.
Es una película de Tim Burton que está considerada una de sus mejores cintas, la película cuenta la historia de Edward, un hombre con tijeras en lugar de manos, Edward es una criatura artificial, creada por un inventor, la película aborda temas de aislamiento, prejuicios y la necesidad de aceptación. Ofrece una historia emotiva y con mucha sensibilidad, es una crítica social sobre la aceptación y el dolor de ser diferente, La actuación de Johnny Depp como Edward Scissorhands es memorable y uno de sus mejores trabajos, el cual lo lanzo al estrellato.
La cinta trata temas profundos, como la inclusión y la falta de aceptación, Edward es una figura muy simbólica, ya que representa a la gente que es diferente y aislada, En la película, la comunidad rechaza a Edward y lo trata como un monstruo, solo la familia que lo adopto lo trata como un ser humano, parte de ellos, dandole cariño y amor.
Se estrenó en 1990, y es considerada una de las mejores películas de Tim Burton y del siglo XX, la película es recordada por su estilo visual, su banda sonora, y la interpretación de Johnny Depp, en poco tiempo, la película se convirtió en un éxito comercial y ganó dos premios BAFTA.
El personaje principal es Edward Scissorhands, interpretado por Johnny Depp, el inventor, que crea a Edward, está interpretado por "Vincent Price", por su parte, la familia que acoge a Edward está interpretada por "Dianne Wiest" y "Alan Arkin", además, la chica que ama a Edward, Kim, está interpretada por "Winona Ryder".
La banda sonora es una de las mejores de Tim Burton, la música está compuesta por "Danny Elfman" y ganó un premio Saturn, la banda sonora tiene una atmósfera gótica y de fantasía, con instrumentos y sonidos innovadores, la música está cargada de emociones y enfatiza la soledad y el dolor de Edward.
Como les mecione antes el director de esta pelicula es "Tim Burton" y
esta escrita por "Caroline Thompson", una escritora de cine que ha trabajado en muchas películas de Tim Burton, "Caroline Thompson" fue la que escribió la película "Sueños de una noche de verano", así como muchas de las obras más icónicas de Tim Burton, como "Pesadilla antes de navidad", "Batman" y "la novia cadaver".
Se considera una película de culto?, Si, la pelicula no tuvo un gran exito en taquilla pero con el pasar de los años a crecido su popularidad entre las personas que les gusta lo gotico y lo retro, ya que el personaje de "Edwar" se ha convertido en icono de la cultura Pop, y la cultura Gotica, por toda su imagen.
La estética de "Edward" es característica de Tim Burton, la película tiene una estética gótica y fantástica, con colores bajos, tonos grises y atmósferas sombrías. La película tiene una atmósfera de cuento de hadas distorsionado, y los vestuarios, así como las decoraciones, tienen un toque viejo, fantasioso y curioso.
La idea de la película surgió de la imaginación de Tim Burton, el director. Esta idea le llegó mientras dibujaba en un cuaderno un hombre con manos de tijeras. Posteriormente, Tim Burton escribió la trama y la película se convirtió en un éxito al pasar de los años.
Por decir algunos datos, la película tiene muchas referencias a otros clásicos del cine. La trama se inspiró en otras obras como "Frankenstein" y "La bella y la bestia". También hay referencias visuales a la película "Sueños de una noche de verano", y en la película se hace una parodia de "The Breakfast Club", en una escena de la escuela.
Otro dato curioso es que, para lograr la imagen de las manos de tijeras, Johnny Depp tuvo que llevar unos guantes en los que estaban pegados tijeras, todo el tiempo. Además, el maquillaje de Johnny Depp tuvo un proceso largo de dos horas, en el que se le pintaba el rostro blanco y se le dibujaban en negro sus ojos y labios. Otra curiosidad es que el vecindario donde la familia de Peg vive, es el mismo vecindario que aparece en otra película de Tim Burton, "Pee-wee's Big Adventure". También es curioso saber que Tim Burton diseñó el universo y la ciudad de la película antes de terminar el guión, así que los escenarios se hicieron basados en la imagen que Tim Burton tenía en su mente.
En conclusión, "Edward Scissorhands" es una película icónica del cine de fantasía, y de la carrera de Tim Burton. Es una película con mucha imaginación, un guión con mensajes profundos y una estética visual impresionante.
Un inventor crea a Edward un joven artificial, pero lastimosamente el inventor antes de ponerle sus manos fallece, por lo que este queda con tijeras como manos, este nunca ha salido del castillo pero un día una alegre señora que decide llevárselo a su casa, todos se enteran de la llegada de este y se comienza a ser famoso por sus dotes y habilidad con las tijeras, pero es alguien extraño, por lo que tiene muchos problemas.
La película empieza con la narración de una historia que le cuenta una abuela a su nieta, su historia comienza con una vendedora de maquillaje llamada Peg una señora bastante alegre y amable que entra en el castillo con la intención de venderles maquillaje, cuando se encuentra con Edward, un joven bastante desorientado, al principio se asusta, pero luego se da cuenta que quedó solo, su “padre” murió antes de completarlo, quedando así con tijeras en vez de manos, por lo que lo quiere ayudar a integrarse en el vecindario, todos bastante entrometidos se enteran al instante de este nuevo huésped.
Su familia no está cómoda con la decisión de Peg pero poco a poco empiezan a aceptarlo, su hija mayor Kim se encuentra acampando con sus amigos, por lo que no sabía de esa decisión de su madre, se lleva esta gran sorpresa cuando vuelve y lo ve en su cuarto.
Edward tiene una gran habilidad con sus manos de tijeras, comenzó arreglando los arbustos del vecindario y luego como estilista, pero todo comienza a empeorar cuando Edward se enamora de Kim, el novio de ella se empezó a dar cuenta de esto y lo quiso utilizar para robarle a sus padres, metiendo así a Edward en problema, es capturado y comienza a ser juzgado por todos, se terminan enamorando mutuamente pero el ahora ex novio de kim termina ocasionando muchos problemas a los que queda como culpable Edward, hasta que Edward finalmente le toca huir del vecindario y volver a su castillo, pero el ex novio de kim lo sigue y termina. Peleando bruscamente, pero cuando esté le hace daño a Kim, no duda en asesinarlo.
Cuando llegó la multitud de gente, Kim les digo que ambos se mataron mutuamente, por lo que todos se van, el quedo solo donde pasó el resto de su vida y Kim no lo vuelve a ver pero siempre lo recuerda, ahí es cuando nos damos cuenta que esta es la abuelita del principio cintándole este amorío a su nieta.
Admito que pensé que esta película sería de miedo, nunca la había visto, por que siempre había tenido esa idea o al menos que era algo como “los locos Adams” o de ese estilo, pero me sorprendió y de que es una película hasta algo triste, la adaptación del personaje Edward en la sociedad y como por su buen corazón lo utilizan y empieza a ser juzgado por todos, me recordó un poco a la bella y la bestia jaja a diferencia de que Kim y Edward no quedaron juntos, él volvió a estar aislado y ella vivió su vida como venia pero sin nunca olvidarlo.
An inventor creates Edward an artificial young man, but unfortunately the inventor dies before putting his hands on him, so he is left with scissors as hands, he has never left the castle but one day a cheerful lady decides to take him to his house, everyone finds out about his arrival and he begins to be famous for his skills and skill with scissors, but he is someone strange, so he has many problems.
The film begins with the narration of a story that a grandmother tells her granddaughter, her story begins with a makeup saleswoman named Peg, a rather cheerful and friendly lady who enters the castle with the intention of selling them makeup, when he meets Edward, a quite disoriented young man, at first he is scared, but then he realizes that he was left alone, his "father" died before completing it, thus leaving him with scissors instead of hands, so he wants to help him integrate into the neighborhood, everyone quite nosy instantly finds out about this new guest.
Her family is not comfortable with Peg's decision but little by little they begin to accept it, her eldest daughter Kim is camping with her friends, so she did not know about her mother's decision, she takes this great surprise when he returns and sees him in his room.
Edward has great skill with his scissor hands, he started trimming the bushes in the neighborhood and then as a stylist, but everything starts to get worse when Edward falls in love with Kim, her boyfriend started giving He realized this and wanted to use it to steal from his parents, thus putting Edward in trouble, he is captured and begins to be judged by everyone, they end up falling in love with each other but Kim's now ex-boyfriend ends up causing a lot of problems for those who remain as guilty Edward, until Edward finally has to flee the neighborhood and go back to his castle, but Kim's ex-boyfriend follows him and breaks up. He fights roughly, but when he's hurting Kim, he doesn't hesitate to kill him.
When the crowd of people arrived, Kim told them that they both killed each other, so they all left, he was left alone where he spent the rest of his life and Kim never sees him again but she always remembers him, that's when we meet account that this is the grandmother from the beginning filming this affair for her granddaughter.
I admit that I thought that this movie would be scary, I had never seen it, because I had always had that idea or at least that it was something like "crazy Adams" or something like that, but I was surprised and that it is a movie to something sad, the adaptation of the character Edward in society and how they use him because of his good heart and he begins to be judged by everyone, it reminded me a bit of beauty and the beast haha unlike Kim and Edward didn't stay together, he was isolated again and she lived her life as she came but without ever forgetting him.
›Film Review: Edward Scissorhands (1990)80@drax1392d
Few Hollywood film makers embody the ethos of “style over substance” as much as Tim Burton does. Thankfully, Burton also possesses rich imagination and talent to put its products on screen in ways that would make his film interesting even when their substance leaves much to be desired. And when there is actually some substance in Burton’s films, results are truly remarkable, like in the case of his 1990 romantic fantasy film Edward Scissorhands.
The plot, framed as a story grandmother tells her granddaughter, begins when Peg Boggs (played by Dianne Wiest), cosmetic products saleswoman, leaves her suburb after unsuccessful attempts to make sale among her neighbours and decides to venture towards nearby, apparently abandoned, Gothic-style mansion. There she finds a strange looking young man named Edward (played by Johnny Depp) who has large sets of scissors where his hands would supposed to be. Through flashbacks it is revealed that Edward wasn’t born, but actually created by eccentric old inventor (played by Vincent Price) who died before having him finished and provided proper arms. Despite his unusual looks, Peg takes pity of Edward and decides to bring him to suburban home and family. Edward, who is curious but harmless, causes a lot of attention in neighbourhood and later wins hearts and minds with his skills of gardening and hairdressing. Things, however, change when Peg’s teenage daughter Kim (played by Winona Ryder) returns home after school trip. At first scared by strange addition to her home, she begins to understand him, while Edwards develops romantic feelings for her. Unfortunately, Kim’s arrogant boyfriend Jim (played by Anthony Michael Hall) feel jealous and starts series of events that would end with misunderstandings, violence and tragedy.
Edward Scissorhands is often considered to be the best film in Burton’s career. In any case, it is his most personal. The basic plot of the film was in many ways inspired by author’s growing up in suburban Burbank, California during 1960s during which he was considered by his neighbours and peers as “weird” outcast. Character of Edward was unmistakably Burton’s alter ego and was further developed through good script by novelist Caroline Thompson. The plot was further refined by taking the bits of various tales of outcasts from Romantic and Gothic fiction, including Classic Hollywood horror films among the most noticeable is James Whale’s 1931 version of Frankenstein. This deeply personal vision was brought at the screen when Burton was at the top of his career, after enormous commercial success of Batman. This allowed Burton to get large budget from 20th Century Fox together with creative control which was unusual for Hollywood directors at the time. He has put those resources to good use and also gathered many great talents – production designer Bo Welch who created bizarre worlds of suburbia and Edward’s castle, costume designer Colleen Atwood who made suburban character look as colourful as Edward, special effects expert Stan Winston and, finally, composer and Burton’s old associate Danny Elfman who delivered a recognisable yet original and effective score.
The most important element of the film was, however, the cast and, naturally, the actor in title role. Johnny Depp, who was at the time trying to discard image of teen idol based on 21st Jump Street, embraced this unusual and demanding role with great vigour and enthusiasm. The role not only demanded that Depp stays under heavy makeup for much of production, but also to find the way to build strange but likeable character with more pure emotion and less talk. Long preparation, which included studying performances of silent era stars like Chaplin, paid off and Edward Scissorhands represents one of the best roles of his career. With it he has built reputation not just as great actor but also as someone willing to take risks and play quirky, unusual characters that would later build his reputation and bring him loyal fandom. Depp’s performance was in many ways augmented by presence of Winona Ryder, young actress who played character completely different from the one she had played in Burton’s earlier film Beetlejuice. Kim is here presented as “normie”, a girl that embodies “proper” suburban values, wears “proper” clothes, has “proper” hairstyle (providing Ryder one of her rare roles where she was blonde) and has “proper” romantic life by dating typical high school jock. Her character is introduced gradually, but nevertheless quickly transforms in romantic heroine and person who begins to understand and sympathise with charming stranger. Performances of Depp and Ryder benefited from their widely publicised romantic relationship in real life, which undoubtedly helped their on screen chemistry. The rest of cast was also good, especially Kathy Baker and Boggs’ over-sexed neighbour and Dianne Wiest playing one of the most kindhearted characters of her career. Fans of Classic Hollywood would probably appreciate Vincent Price in his last role, although the actor was quite frail during production and, in light of that, his character’s death scene looks quite moving.
Many interpreted Edward Scissorhands as semi-autobiographical film and Burton’s allegorical self-portrayal as misunderstood artists, a motive that he would further use later in Ed Wood. Film works on that level, just as it effectively mixes various genre. It begins as fairytale, turns into comedy taking satirical stabs at suburbia in the middle and, finally, becomes melodrama with increasingly dark and violent overtones near the end. There are some that might have issues with character of Edward being unfinished in script just as he is unfinished in the plot. There are many questions about him that are left unanswered, including whether he is human, robot or something in between. Some might dislike violence near the end that would make this film inappropriate for younger viewers that would have actually liked it. Despite that, Edward Scissorhands made very good results at the box office and earned critical accolades. Most of them were quite deserved and this film can be recommended even to those viewers who aren’t among Burton’s or Depp’s fans.
Saludos amigos y sean todos bienvenidos a una publicación sobre películas.
El día de hoy les vengo a compartir una película de un gran actor llamado Johnny Depp, el cual esta película él actúa el papel de Edward, en esta película solamente destaca este hombre, también la interpretación de su papel para esa época era muy buena, también esta es una película una poco antigua, de ser antigua me refiero a mucha.
Este Film se llama el joven manos de tijeras, entra en los géneros de Fantasía, comedia y romance.
A pesar de que esta película es muy antigua, es muy buena, ya que me sigue pareciendo muy lindo el personaje que interpreta Johnny Depp, también hay más actores en esta película, pero el que más me gusto su papel del joven manos de tijeras.
Greetings friends and welcome to a publication about movies.
Today I come to share a film of a great actor named Johnny Depp, which this film he plays the role of Edward, in this film only highlights this man, also the interpretation of his role for that time was very good, also this is a film a little old, to be old I mean a lot.
This film is called Young Scissorhands, it falls into the genres of Fantasy, comedy and romance.
Although this movie is very old, it is very good, because I still find the character played by Johnny Depp very cute, there are also more actors in this movie, but I liked his role of the young scissorhands the most.
Al principio de esta película, una anciana nos cuenta la historia de un hombre que, en vez de tener manos comunes, este tenía manos de tijeras, este hombre vive en una enorme mansión en la cima de una colina, en un pueblo muy trabajador y tranquilo, según los cuentos infantiles esta mansión está hechizada.
Comenzaremos a conocer la historia de este hombre con manos de tijeras, el cual un inventor vivía en esta mansión, sus creaciones eran muy asombrosas que incluso le facilitaban la vida a los seres humanos, este viejo inventor al no poseer hijos porque le dedico toda su vida a los inventos, quiso crear a un hombre, así que le dio órganos, un cerebro, y un cuerpo, pero lo único que le faltaba eran unas manos, así que le coloco tijeras en vez de manos hasta que este inventara la forma de hacer manos y que se pudieran mover como el de una persona común, pero por situaciones de la vida no pudo hacerlo.
THE MAN WHO USES SCISSORS AS HANDS.
At the beginning of this movie, an old woman tells us the story of a man who, instead of having ordinary hands, he had scissors hands, this man lives in a huge mansion on the top of a hill, in a very hard working and quiet village, according to children's stories this mansion is bewitched.
We will begin to know the story of this man with scissors hands, which an inventor lived in this mansion, his creations were very amazing that even made life easier for humans, this old inventor having no children because he dedicated his whole life to inventions, wanted to create a man, So he gave him organs, a brain, and a body, but the only thing he lacked were hands, so he put scissors instead of hands until he invented the way to make hands that could move like an ordinary person, but due to life situations he could not do it.
Edward es el mismo hombre que en lugar de poseer manos posee tijeras, este hombre no posee emociones porque no es un ser humano, sino que es una máquina que un inventor estaba creando para no sentirse solo, pero por situaciones de la vida, Edward quedo solo, día tras día y noche tras noche Edward observaba el pueblo desde las ventanas de su mansión.
Preguntándose si algún día iba a poder salir de su hogar, pero lo que Edward no sabe es que la vida le dará una razón para no salir de ella.
EDWARD
Edward is the same man who instead of having hands has scissors, this man has no emotions because he is not a human being, but a machine that an inventor was creating to not feel alone, but for life situations, Edward was alone, day after day and night after night Edward watched the town from the windows of his mansion.
Wondering if someday he would be able to leave his home, but what Edward does not know is that life will give him a reason not to leave it.
Muchas personas viven en un poblado que está por los alrededores de la mansión donde vive Edward, un poblado un poco colorido y llenos de paz y tranquilidad, de ahí conoceremos a Peg, una mujer trabajadora al que no se le da muy bien vender en este lugar, ya que las mujeres de este sitio son muy engreídas, chismosas e interesadas.
Un día Peg intentaba vender de algunos productos de Avon a las vecinas de su pueblo, pero no pudo tener suerte porque todas ellas son muy engreídas y muy malas personas, por no mencionar interesadas, así que a Peg se le ocurrió la brillante idea de vender sus productos a la mención donde se encuentra nuestro amigo Edward.
EVERYDAY LIFE.
Many people live in a village that is around the mansion where Edward lives, a village a little colorful and full of peace and tranquility, from there we will meet Peg, a working woman who is not very good at selling in this place, because the women of this place are very conceited, gossipy and interested.
One day Peg was trying to sell some Avon products to the neighbors of her town, but she had no luck because they are all very conceited and very bad people, not to mention interested, so Peg came up with the brilliant idea of selling her products to the mention where our friend Edward is.
Edward por primera vez comenzará a salir de su mansión con la ayuda de una amiga que lo ayudara a tener una vida normal como todo ser humano, pero lo que su amiga no sabe es que Edward no es un ser humano sino una máquina que un inventor diseño para acompañarlo, aunque al pasar de los años Edward había obtenido algunos sentimientos, pero el que más se apegó a él es el sentimiento del miedo, por lo que todo le asusta.
Muchas vecinas de la zona acuden a Edward porque es un hombre muy guapo, atrayendo así la atención de todos, a los hombres no les importa porque todos en este poblado se van a trabajar, por lo que no saben que es lo que está sucediendo en las casas con sus familias.
THE NORMAL LIFE
Edward for the first time will begin to leave his mansion with the help of a friend who will help him to have a normal life like any human being, but what her friend does not know is that Edward is not a human being but a machine that an inventor designed to accompany him, although over the years Edward had obtained some feelings, but the most attached to him is the feeling of fear, so everything scares him.
Many neighbors in the area go to Edward because he is a very handsome man, thus attracting the attention of all, men do not care because everyone in this town go to work, so they do not know what is happening in the houses with their families.
A pesar de que Edward no pueda comer normal, vestirse o por lo menos tocarse la cara sin que se corte por las tijeras, Edward comienza a conocer un don especial, el cual es cortar cabello, por lo que comienza a trabajar cortándole el cabello a todas las mujeres del poblado, pero debido al acoso de una mujer, Edward comienza a huir para no causarle molestias a nadie, por lo que nuestro amigo deberá de tomar una decisión.
¿Cuál será la decisión de Edward?
Conclusión
Ver por todas las cosas que Edward ha tenido que pasar para que este solo pudiera conocer una pequeña parte del mundo es muy triste, ya que como es un hombre muy simpático y un poco especial, logra captar mucho la atención de todas las mujeres del poblado en la que habita.
Esta película a pesar de que es un poco antigua, me hace recordar lo buena que era en aquella época cuando la vi, en aquel entonces no existían los videos en HD como a lo que estamos acostumbrados ahora, tampoco existía Netflix que nos ayudara a ver más allá de lo que nosotros conocíamos sobre películas.
Esto me hace pensar en lo mucho que ha evolucionado la humanidad desde entonces.
El público al cual pueden ver esta película es para mayores de 13 años, es buena para verla en familia y disfrutar de ella.

What will Edward's decision be?
Conclusion
Seeing all the things that Edward has had to go through so that he could only know a small part of the world is very sad, since he is a very nice man and a little special, he manages to capture the attention of all the women in the village where he lives.
This movie even though it is a bit old, it makes me remember how good it was back then when I saw it, back then there were no HD videos like what we are used to now, neither was there Netflix to help us see beyond what we knew about movies.
This makes me think about how much humanity has evolved since then.

Hello, Internet people! I hope you are ok. Today I want to tell you about one of my favourite films starring my favourite actor, the beloved Jhonny Deep, and directed and produced by one of my favourite actors, the one and only Tim Burton.
¡Hola, gente de Internet! Espero que estén bien. Hoy quiero hablarles de una de mis películas preferidas y que es protagonizada por mi actor preferido y es el bien amado Jhonny Deep, y cuya dirección y producción es de la mano de uno de mis actores preferidos, el singular Tim Burton.
Edward is a young man who was created by a wealthy doctor, who died before he was finished, as a result of which Edward has scissors for hands. Peg, a door-to-door saleswoman, arrives at the mansion in a desperate attempt to sell her products to whoever lives there, but she meets Edward and after the initial shock realises that he is harmless and also extremely innocent and adorable, so in order not to leave him there alone and abandoned, she takes him to her house.
Edward es un joven que fue creado por un rico doctor, el cuál murió antes de terminarlo, como resultado, Edward tiene por manos, tijeras. Peg, una vendedora a domicilio, llega a la mansión en desesperado intento por venderle a quien viva allí, sus productos pero se encuentra con Edward y después del susto inicial se da cuenta de que es inofensivo y además en extremo inocente y adorable, así que para no dejarle allí solo y abandonado, lo lleva a su casa.
Later, Edward meets the family, including the eldest daughter shortly after the other members (in a very funny scene, by the way) and actually falls in love with her. Peg's neighbours become curious about the new young man in the neighbourhood, so they pester Peg to have a barbecue so they can all come and see him. The gathering is a success and Edward becomes very popular as he not only has scissors for hands but is also very good with them (making nice landscaping in the gardens) so he also starts cutting the hair of dogs and later ladies.
Más tarde, Edward conoce a la familia, inclusive a la hija mayor poco después que a los demás miembros (en una escena muy graciosa, por cierto) y de hecho, queda prendado de ella. Las vecinas de Peg empiezan a sentir curiosidad por el jovencito nuevo en el barrio así que acosan a Peg para que haga una barbacoa y poder asistir todas a verlo. La reunión es un éxito y Edward se hace muy popular ya que además de tener tijeras por manos es muy bueno con ellas (haciendo lindo paisajismo en los jardines) así también empieza a cortarle el cabello a perros y posteriormente a damas.
But we soon realise that all the attention Edward receives is not for free as everyone around him, except for the Boggs family, takes advantage of him and his innocence as they all want him to mow their garden in exchange for lemonade and biscuits and one of the neighbours wants him to work in her beauty salon where she also sexually harasses him, scaring him and where Edward runs away. Edward's refusal to accede to this neighbour's base instincts and the jealousy that Kim's boyfriend awakens when he realises Ed's feelings for his girlfriend, gradually harm the innocent boy. I would say that Kim's boyfriend is the one who does the most damage because he takes advantage of the misunderstandings surrounding Edward to make him look bad and make him feel guilty for the accidents he causes.
Pero pronto nos damos cuenta de que toda la atención que recibe Edward no es gratuita pues todo el mundo a su alrededor a excepción de la familia Boggs, se aprovecha de él y su inocencia pues todos quieren que corte su jardín a cambio de limonada y galletas y una de las vecinas lo quiere para trabajar en su salón de belleza donde además, lo acosa sexualmente, asustándolo y donde Edward sale huyendo. La negativa de este a acceder a los bajos instintos de esta vecina y los celos que despierta en el novio de Kim al darse cuenta de los sentimientos de Ed hacia su novia, logran que poco a poco vayan perjudicando al inocente muchacho. Diría que el novio de Kim es quien hace más daño pues aprovecha los malentendidos en torno a Edward para hacerlo quedar mal y hacerlo sentir culpable de los accidentes que causa.
Kim realises that her boyfriend is an idiot and ends the relationship, realising that her feelings are with Edward. She and her family try to defend him from everyone who thinks he is a threat, but it doesn't work and Edward ends up fleeing back to the mansion where he is mercilessly attacked by Jin (Kim's ex-boyfriend) but it isn't until he hits Kim that Edward decides to defend himself and the girl, killing the hateful Jin with his scissors.
Kim se da cuenta de que su novio es un idiota y termina la relación además dandose cuenta que sus sentimientos están con Edward. Es así como junto con su familia intentan defenderlo de todos los que creen que él es una amenaza, sin embargo no funciona y Edward termina huyendo de vuelta a la mansión donde es atacado sin piedad por Jin (el ex novio de Kim) pero no es hasta que este golpe a Kim que Edward decide denfenderse y a la muchacha, matando con sus tijeras al odioso de Jin.
Edward realises that he can't be with Kim because people don't accept him and he doesn't want to force her to be an outcast like him, so he says goodbye to her forever, after a tender kiss between them and the confession of her feelings for him, and then she leaves, never to see him again.
Edward comprende que no puede estar con kim ya que la gente no lo acepta y no quiere orillarla a ser una marginada como él, es entonces cuando se despide de ella para siempre, después de un tierno beso entre ambos y la confesión de sus sentimientos hacia él y entonces ella se marcha para no verse nunca más.
I'll start by talking about the film's photography and its artwork. The story is based on a drawing that Tim Burton made as a teenager and whose colour palette (monochrome) was used for Edward and his life of seclusion inside his creator's mansion. In the film we constantly see the ambiguity of both worlds (Edward's and other people's) marked or shaped by the colour palettes, Edward and his mansion is all monochromatic and dark while the neighbourhood is very "perfect" and colourful. However, if we analyse well, everything internally is inverted, as I will explain below:
Empezaré hablando de la fotografía del film y su apartado artístico. La historia parte de un dibujo que Tim Burton hizo de adolescente y cuya paleta de colores (monocromático) sirvió para Edward y su vida de reclusión dentro de la mansión de su creador. En la película constantemente vemos la ambigüedad de ambos mundos (el de Edward y el de las demás personas) marcado o plasmado por las paletas de colores, Edward y su mansión es todo monocromático y oscuro mientras que el vecindario es muy "perfecto" y colorido. Sin embargo si analizamos bien, todo internamente está invertido, lo explicaré a continuación:
In cinema, dark colours are usually used to denote evil, etc. while pastel or vibrant colour palettes express the opposite and it's something used in this film but after analysing the personalities of all the characters, we notice that the protagonist of the dark colour palette (Edward) is very innocent, adorable, noble and pure of heart while the neighbours of the neighbourhood (belonging to the vibrant colour palette) are selfish, manipulative, gossipy and disloyal. With this Burton gives us a clear lesson: Don't judge a book by its cover and not everything you see is what it seems.
En cine, se suele emplear los colores oscuros para denotar maldad, etc mientras que las paletas de colores pasteles o vibrantes expresan todo lo contrario y es algo utilizado en esta película pero tras analizar las personalidades de todos los personajes, notamos que el protagonista de la paleta de colores oscuras (Edward) es muy inocente, adorable, noble y puro de corazón mientras que los vecinos del barrio (pertenecientes a la paleta de colores vibrantes) son egoístas, manipuladores, chismosos y desleales. Con esto Burton nos da una clara lección: No juzgues a un libro por su portada y no todo lo que ves es lo que parece.
The camera shots are great, we have the best scenes thanks to this aspect and the presentation of Edward is great, that subjective shot between light and dark while he approaches moving the blades of his hands is amazing or the recognised and beautiful scene of Kim's dance under the snow that Ed creates by sculpting ice.
Los planos de cámara son geniales, tenemos las mejores escenas gracias a este aspecto y es que la presentación de Edward es genial, ese plano subjetivo entre luz y oscuridad mientras el se acerca moviendo las cuchillas de sus manos es asombrosa o la reconocida y preciosa escena del baile de Kim bajo la nieve que crea Ed al esculpir hielo.
The soundtrack, besides being extremely successful, is extremely beautiful. It has the perfect balance between mysterious, sensitive and nostalgic, it really transmits a lot and accompanies the scenes perfectly. The use of Violas, Cello, Violoncello and violins are used a lot and help a lot to this kind of mysterious and fictional settings (clearly these are instruments that apply to any genre depending on the composition and the use in these, but I'm just giving a point of reference). I'll leave the playlist below.
La banda sonora además de en extremo acertada, es sumamente hermosa. Tiene el equilibrio perfecto entre misteriosa, sensible y nostálgica, realmente transmite muchísimo y acompaña las escenas a la perfección. Se emplea mucho el uso de Violas, Cello, Violoncello y violines que ayudan muchísimo a este tipo de ambientaciones misteriosas y con ficción (claramente son instrumentos que se aplican a cualquier género dependiendo de la composición y el uso en éstas, pero solo doy un punto de referencia). Les dejaré la lista de reproducción a continuación.
The performances were top notch, and if I had to single out anyone it would obviously be Jhonny Deep, who played the lead role. Being a rookie at that time, Jhonny managed to stand out in this film, receiving a Golden Globe nomination and industry recognition, from then on he got a lot of contracts as the main character. In addition, this first work with Tim Burton made the director fall in love with Johnny's acting and asked him to star in almost all his works.
Las actuaciones estuvieron de 10, y si debo destacar a alguien obviamente sería a quien encarnó al protagonista, Jhonny Deep. Siendo un novato en su momento, Jhonny logró destacarse en esta película recibiendo una nominación a los premios Globo de Oro y además el reconocimiento de la industria, a partir de ahí le llovieron contratos como protagonista. Además este primer trabajo con Tim Burton hicieron que el director se enamorara de la forma de actuar de Johnny y lo solicitara de protagonista para casi todos sus trabajos.
Finally, the story and script of this film is a gem in its entirety. It tells a tale that although sad, is quite beautiful and teaches us what I had already mentioned when talking about the colour palette, that we should not judge people by their appearance but by their personality. It's quite sad to see that Ed could not escape his loneliness thanks to the hasty and superficial judgement of people who consider themselves "normal", however in real life situations like this still happen in some places and this story shows us the side of the "outcast" making us empathise with him to the point of wanting to protect him from the excesses of "normal" people. Undoubtedly one of the best films I have seen and for me one of Tim Burton's best works.
Para finalizar, la historia y guión de este film es una joya en su totalidad, narra un cuento que aunque triste, es bastante hermoso y nos enseña lo que ya había mencionado cuando hablaba de la paleta de colores, que no debemos juzgar a las personas por su apariencia sino por su personalidad. Es bastante triste ver que Ed no pudo escapar de su soledad gracias al juicio precipitado y superficial de las personas que se consideran "normales" sin embargo en la vida real situaciones como éstas siguien ocurriendo en algunos sitios y esta historia nos enseña el lado del "marginado" haciendo que empaticemos con él hasta el grado de querer protegerlo de los desmanes de la gente "normal". Sin lugar a dudas uno de los mejores films que he visto y para mí uno de los mejores trabajos de Tim Burton.
And well, people, that's all for today's post, I hope you liked it. Thank you very much as always for supporting my work, I welcome new readers, I love you all very much, I send you a hug and I'll see you in another post.
Y bueno, gente, esto ha sido todo por el post de hoy, espero que les haya gustado. Muchas gracias como siempre por apoyar mi trabajo, le doy la bienvenida a los nuevos lectores, les quiero mucho a todos, les envío un abrazo y ya nos encontraremos en otro post.
When I saw this movie, I remember the excitement, but not as much as when I saw its release date (1990), the movie is older than 30 years and it surprises me because I had not seen it earlier despite being a classic.
Starring nothing more and nothing less than my favourite, Johnny Depp, has a duration of 105 minutes and belongs to a mix of categories between comedy, romance, drama and fantasy. He was nominated for Oscar Awards in the best makeup category, but pitifully did not get the Award.
The plot takes place around the creation of a robot with a human appearance that Edward began and as the title mentions, he has scissors, this happens because the creator of him has died preventing himself completely culminating him. At the beginning of the film we find an advanced age who tells a girl the reason why she snows in the territory of her. It is then that we started to know a story a little tragic and sweet at the same time.
Edward Despite having intimidating and tenebrous appearance has a pretty innocent, friendly and gentle personality, which is why he gets a lady to adopt him and I took it from the place where he is. It ends up living with a family to which it does not seem to bother him his appearance, but rather end up including him in his home activities, as taking advantage of his scissor hand, he manages to do tasks such as pruning the garden, making ice sculptures, and even hairdresser. Everything seems to become a great time until he knows a girl who is also a member of the family and ends up falling in love with her.
Is here when the film begins to become a bit dramatic and negative, because the girl who Edward falls in love with a couple, so it becomes a kind of love triangle and to dangerous, they begin to live certain misadventures ending in a tragic end . The grandmother we see at the beginning of the movie ends up revealing the girl the reason that snow falling into that place.
I regret not telling you anymore but it is because my intention is not narrative, or rather, ruining the intrigue to those who have not seen the movie. Rather, I want you to go and see it. Enjoy it a lot, I consider it a good movie.
›[Review movies] The loneliest robot: "Edward Scissorhands"@filoso2003d
The eerie abandoned castle represents Edward's origin which the world's aesthetics don't accept. The neat and uniform city pattern and brightly colored houses represent the point of view, which is the boundary between humans and robots.
There are many fixed combinations of directors and actors in the film industry. Mentioning this director's name can often hook the actor. When talking about this actor, the first reaction is the director who works with him. For example, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Tim Burton can be called a genius, whether it's a bizarre storyline or a preference for a dark Gothic style, his films are always full of some kind of originality. An invisible magical temperament, this temperament is a label affixed to the film, which at first glance is obvious. Johnny Depp, who rose to fame when he was young, is often seen as withdrawn for his arbitrary style, even being called a character actor by Hollywood. Depp looks like it was made especially for the Burton films, For a character that looks weird and cold, Depp played the role perfectly. They have worked together to contribute many popular classics to film fans. "Edward Scissorhands" is the first time the two have collaborated. Since then, they have also collaborated on "Edwood", "Dream End", "Charlie and the Chocolate DreamWorks", "Alice in Wonderland" etc.
Burton rarely takes on realistic themes. Throughout the directorial work, from the original "Frankenstein", "Frankenstein", "Beatles Juice", "Batman" to the latest release "Alice in Wonderland" The series is all fantasy-themed. All of his films are heartbreaking fairy tales. The same is true of Edward Scissorhands. In a small town with bright and uniform architecture, lies a castle that has long been abandoned. People only know that scientists with lonely characters live there, and they know nothing else. Until one day, the kindhearted Avon seller, Pegg, broke into this castle and found that a robot with hand scissors lives in it. He called himself Edward. Of course hand scissors here do not refer to scissors. If you pay close attention, You will find that apart from the scissors we take in the usual sense, there are also sharp knives of different styles. Pegg took her home and placed her in her daughter's bedroom. Then the Hollywood routine started to shine and dominated the direction of the story. Edward and Pegg's daughter Kim gradually falls in love, but in the end they separate. Edward finally returns to the isolated castle. This film is full of symbolism, or symbols. The grisly abandoned fortress represents Edward's origin which the world's aesthetics don't accept. The neat and uniform pattern of cities and brightly colored houses represent a position that is not only the boundary between humans and robots, but also the film's conflict. Even though the gossiping housewives in the small town are the same, they represent the secular "we're always right" vision. I have never been optimistic about the level of human acceptance of heterogeneous species, and our literary works often fly the banner of "my non-racial must have a different heart". It must be evolution. In this lengthy and full of crisis, each race must be alert enough to the outside world in order to survive. We not only have to be aware of the outside world, but often we cannot give full confidence to our own kind. As previous generations of indoctrination taught us, we must be protected by the law. Hate someone with a reservation, because an enemy's enemy is a friend; love someone with reservation, because the person who is stabbed in the back is often the most trusted person. This kind of doctrine means that it is applicable everywhere in the world. But for Edward's robot, he doesn't have a reservation. What makes robots cuter than humans is that they don't have any cunning plans like humans that have evolved over tens of thousands of years. When a strange but kind robot appears in the ghost world, you can imagine a major conflict. Edward has won people's hearts through creative gardening and hair design. There was even a neighbor woman who had written "Give me a man" on her face from the start, and she seduced Edward, and the results were ridiculous; Kim's girlfriend takes advantage of Edward's obedience to Jin and asks him to go to his own house to steal. After the incident is exposed, Edward is locked in the house and taken away by the authorities, but Jin's girlfriend hurriedly pushes boundaries; Ge, also used Edward to contact Avon's senior management; Kim's younger brother first takes Edward to school to show off and play riddles around him. Then, tired of playing, he left it like a toy that had lost interest. On the other hand, Edward always pays attention to Jin's younger brother and always tries to fulfill his requirements. He sees Peg as a savior and is generally grateful and respectful. He did not confess to the police when he treated Jin's girlfriend. Of course, she has treated Jin Edward in her heart, of course, rejecting the neighbor whose hormone is splashing. Because of this, everyone has a prejudice against Edward. People also started slandering him behind his back, seeing him as a real thief and thinking that "
The overall tone of the film is still warm and bright. There is a scene in that movie. Kim returned from the trip and saw Edward for the first time, who was lying on his waterbed, staring into the dripping eyes. The king was shocked and Edward was also shocked. King's father took Edward into the basement and poured him a glass of wine. She casually says it is lemon juice. After Edward drank it through a straw, he was exposed to the harsh alcohol and felt tastes and feelings that he had never felt before. If you use love as a metaphor, it's like a glass of strong wine, which makes people a little drunk and imagined. This was an extraordinary experience that had never happened before for him. If you classify films, to be precise, these are not strictly science fiction films, but fairy tales of love. Many similar scripts have happened in our real life. Edward's scissors hand may be a financial constraint or a humble identity. In short, the film concretizes this gap, making it even more romantic and beautiful. Just like a small town that never snows, it only snows after Edward falls in love with Kim. Not the snowflakes flying, but her love for him. A love fairy tale is not chicken soup, but lemon juice, not to say something we all understand, but to give us a kind of innocent, beautiful longing. Why do we like fairy tales, because reality is too discordant, there is true love in fairy tales. This is not an escape, on the contrary, this is a bold pursuit. We need to drink this glass of lemon juice to remind ourselves that there is pure love in this world, unconditional love. It is Burton's deepest inspiration and greatest touch. By convention, just talking about the main line of the film, I believe whether it's the talented Tim Burton or the perverted Johnny Depp, people are already familiar with them, even if they don't watch the film very often, they are familiar with these two names. It won't feel strange. Many of Burton's popular films are on various must-see lists. Movies like "Big Fish" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" are classics in film history. Here mainly talking about the female lead "Edward Scissorhands", Winona, actor King. The background is not small. When he was 17 years old, he appears on movie posters almost all the way in the United States. She's called "the luckiest girl in the world", and she's not as famous as Depp. Even more interestingly, the two men had defined their relationship before filming "Edward Scissorhands". After this film, their relationship deepened. Depp wrote "winona forever" on his right arm (forever). Winona) to show his sincerity. Too bad the two of them didn't make it to the end. This is another "love fairy tale" in the real world. the relationship between the two deepened. Depp wrote "winona forever" on his right arm (forever). Winona) to show his sincerity. Too bad the two of them didn't make it to the end. This is another "love fairy tale" in the real world. the relationship between the two deepened. Depp wrote "winona forever" on his right arm (forever). Winona) to show his sincerity. Too bad the two of them didn't make it to the end. This is another "love fairy tale" in the real world.
›REVIEW : "Edward Scissorhands" (1990) - Movie by Tim Burton50@mandibil2343d
I remember friends telling me about this new "fantasy" movie called Edward Scissorhands back in the early nineties. I will admit that back then I was just your average video movie rental kind of guy who primarily watched whatever was mainstream popular (In some ways, the video age helped destroy some of the legacy of old classics and Avantgarde). But a young man looking like a ghost with scissors for hands, was not exactly what I was looking for.
When I eventually watched it (on VHS), it did not settle with me at all. I understood the old school horror references and such, but this sort of B-movie horror was never my cup up tea in the first place. I used to classify this as primarily for teens who wanted something colourful, glossy and safely horrifying. Completely out of my scope.
Fast forward some 25 odd years and it arrives on blu-ray in my collection (it was a cheap second hander). I thought, let me give it a try. I could not remember the story at all and I only had that vision of Depp in outlandish goth costume and makeup ... and oh, Winona Ryder. I remember her ... but that was more because of her looks than her acting as such.
Some movies deserves to be seen in all the glory of modern digital high definition and not on some lousy, worn out, rental VHS, cut to 4:3. I like to revisit old movies that have received something like a new life as we have entered into this glorious digital restoration age, as it gives it its rightful expression and the fairest judgment. And it is safe to say that visually this one is a completely different story now. My blu-ray version looks absolutely stunning.
I understand better now the story that Burton wants to tell. It is about feeling isolated in a world where you absolutely do not fit in. And even when you try to act as best you can, you are either destroying something, being judged or used for the benefit of others. The tale is as old as anything and it is an integral part of the horror lore I guess since it lends itself so easily to isolated, haunted houses and quirky characters and such.
The story is framed as a bedtime story told to a little girl by a grandmother - about a man Edward with scissors for hands. Edward lives alone in an old castle on top a hill at the end of the road of a cookie cutter build suburban area where everyone lives the American consumer dream of the sixties and seventies. Except, that they also have more modern equipment like CD players and VCRs. So it is a mix of everything suburban up until the time of the filming of the movie so to say.
Edward is found by a door to door sales-woman, and she eventually ends up inviting him to come live with her family down in suburbia. Edward is I awe of all the colourful and fancy "stuff" everywhere and the beauty of the daughter in the family. But he is like a fish out of water who fits in like a round peg in a square hole.
His hands is always in the way or they are clumsy and pretty useless for all the conventional things that he is expected to do. But at the same time, they discover that when he uses them for something that he is good at, he can do artistic things that no one else is capable of. He can cut a bush into the shape of a dinosaur just like that or give all the women in the neighbourhood a fancy new haircut.
As the women all take a liking to him, and even starts to fancy him sexually because of his "exotic" nature I guess, including the hot young daughter, he also becomes a rival to her fiancée, who will do almost anything to get Edward out of the picture.
Edward is a pretty much clueless boy who can be used any way a narcissist would please, and he is set up so he ends in situations where he is bound to hurt people with his awkward but dangerous hands. He eventually ends up being chased away and flees to his old, isolated gothic castle where he can be left alone.
It is not an overstatement to say that Tim Burton uses pretty much every horror cliché in the book with Edward Scissorhands. But in his defence I would say that he manages to bring the goth horror down to an innocent level and combine it with an everyday world on the other side. Granted, that everyday world is not exactly correct, but somewhat distorted and caricatured.
It is no secret either that the movie is highly autobiographical and the life of Edward is condensed from Burton´s own experiences in a likewise suburban upbringing. It is clear to me that Burton must have some mild form of autism. Edward´s complete lack of understanding the people and the things around him and his empty gaze all points to autism to me.
I just point this out, out of interest and respect not as a way of putting him or his movies down. It is what makes Tim Burton, Tim Burton. His style pretty much goes through all his movies and he tends to use the same lead character, Johnny Depp, as he is probably one of the few people who he trusts and who understands his weird universe.
The downside is though, that the emotional depth of Burton´s movies are always pretty shallow. They do not have the ability to stir those deep sensations that "normal" directors can in their (best) work. This movie feels infantile and hollow at the core. I know it is supposedly a good night story but still. When you truly open it up, there is nothing there. Just like for an autistic person I guess. There is no real empathy or sympathy, just a pretty self-centred and to some extend, self-pitying personality, who I cannot identify with, more than on a platonic level.
So while the cinematography is pretty awe-inspiring at times, it feels disconnected with the story and more like a toy-story kid playing a game with all the various unconnected pieces of toys in the room and sticking it together to something that could be called coherent. He does not go deep where he needs to go deep, but stays safely in the teenage, glossy and also pretty sentimental mood, when he should be digging deep in my opinion. There are obvious references to silent German expressionism, which is a specific passion of mine, but it cannot bring more than an "ah, he got that from Nosferatu.." - like remark. It is not an expressionist movie as such.
So all in all, it gets a small recommendation from me for an entertaining watch. But as a story it does not work for me. If you cut all the fancy art away, there is not really any interesting or engaging story there. And when it all comes down, this is where the basic meat of good cinema is. All stories have been told, it is the way it is told .. and the way does not work for me in Edward Scissorhands.
Hello friends cinephiles!. I present my retro-movie segment of today to relive those good memories of those movies and that marked a beautiful time.
Today I will share "Edward Scissorhands", is a American film of 1990 starring Johnny Deep and Winona Ryder directed by Tim Burton, which mixes genres such as dark fantasy along with romantic elements.
*** Synopsis: ***
"An artificially created man named Edward (Johnny Deep) who has scissors instead of hands, Edward is adopted by a middle class family that lives in a very peculiar residential neighborhood and ends up in love with the teenage daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder)".
This was the last performance of the actor Vincent Price (Creator and Father of Edward) before dying due to lung cancer, on October 25, 1993 at 82 years of age. This role was created exclusively for him. As a tribute to his entire career, Tim Burton asked him to work for him as he admired his work.
The shoot was made in a real community in Florida, where about 50 houses were rented, making a change in the facades and gardens.
Although the choice for the role of Edward was always Johnny Depp, other actors were taken into account as Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., Jim Carrey and even Michael Jackson to play the role.
Kim's role was to be starred in the beginning by Drew Barrymore, since Winona Ryder was going to make the Godfather III film by Francis Ford Coppola, but Johnny Depp convinced her to accept the role of Kim.
Edward's role played by Depp contains only 195 words. The makeup so white on the face was the idea of the actor himself, who says he was inspired by Chaplin.
In the scene where Edward escapes back to his home, the actor Depp fainted from exhaustion, by the heat so suffocating he did and because of the leather suit he wore.
The scene in which several neighbors feed Edward with giant spoons of food, caused the actor to get sick, since he had to perform about 20 times that scene which caused him to vomit.
Burton commented that the scene in which all the neighbors run after Edward almost at the end of the film, is a memory of the furious villagers in Frankenstein, even though he decided that they should not carry torches.
The character's scissors were quite heavy, so the costumes weighed a total of around five kilos.
Johnny Deep had to lose more than 11 kilos for the role of Edward.
For those who did not know Winona Ryder's hair is black so she changed her blonde color to do her performance.
Winona Ryder and Johnny Deep were engaged at the time of the recording of this movie.
It's all for today friends Steemians
Until another chance.

›Edward Scissorhands (film): an odd, but wonderful film90@gooddream2876d
They year was 1990 and I was at a point in my life were I was beginning to transition to seeing films based on directors rather than actors. Tim Burton had made some of my favorite movies up to this point, so I didn't allow the extremely strange name and story of the film to turn me away - and I'm glad I didn't because this movie is done brilliantly.
With a title like this it should come as no surprise that the story is a bit "out there." Edward is a synthetic human who was created rather than born by an eccentric member of a community who was an inventor of curios devices. Unfortunately the creator dies before he finishes Edward and thus he must live his life with sharp blades instead of fingers. He is discovered in the now derelict mansion by a kind-hearted member of the community who is a door-to-door Avon salesperson, who takes Edward home with her so that he doesn't have to be alone.
Thus begins the tale of how difficult it can be to fit into a new community and I suppose the fact that he has scissors for hands could be some sort of extreme metaphor. At first everyone welcomes him and he is actually extremely popular as it is discovered he has a penchant for cutting hair.
But for reasons that I will let you discover on your own, eventually the town turns on him and despite the fact that he can cut the bejesus out of you and can be considered a monster, he has very little in the way of evil going on inside him.
It is worth noting that Winona Ryder became the fantasy pin-up girl for every teenage boy in the world during this film. I was one of those people and I still kind of have a crush on her to this day despite her performance in the Aliens franchise.
The music in the movie is outstanding and this is the 4th time that Tim Burton and Danny Elfman have worked together. Both of them cite this film as being their favorite or at least "most personal" work that they have ever done.
This movie has tremendous rewatch value and the characters are perfectly cast. The movie is near flawless and even the things that are flawed such as the neighborhood seeming a bit "fake" was likely done intentionally.

Is here when the film begins to become a bit dramatic and negative, because the girl who Edward falls in love with a couple, so it becomes a kind of love triangle and to dangerous, they begin to live certain misadventures ending in a tragic end . The grandmother we see at the beginning of the movie ends up revealing the girl the reason that snow falling into that place..jpeg)
