Like fantasy, understand the possibility of disillusionment

The smooth light yellow light leached her purity. The playful curls attached to her face set off her innocence. It is a bit difficult for me to compare the beauty of Kim Boggs in "Edward Scissorhands" with the decadence of Winona Ryder in reality. It's like having to accept the final ending as the plot develops. In the dark night, Edward's trembling figure gradually disappeared in the expulsion of the police lights, which was a kind of helpless timidity and loneliness. For him, this is undoubtedly what Tim Burton thought was a helpless and appropriate choice. Instead of letting that heart experience the truth of human life in this kind of love and abandonment, it is better to return to the blocked self-space.
When the old inventor in the castle looked at his robot, a thought came to life. Give him a heart. Feel with your heart, feel the poetry, feel the smile, feel the signal of beauty and civilization. The old man is like all benevolent parents in the world, he hopes his children will always be happy and worry-free. Like many great creators, he passed away without foresight before his wish was fulfilled. Regrettably, God deliberately left it for humans to taste. Also, the greatest punishment and torture are given to those who have perfect ideas. Not only did he not put a human hand on Edward himself, but that hope was also dashed by the appearance of Bill Boggs.
Out of compassion, Pegg irrationally brought him back to the town. The old man gave him a beautiful heart, and Peg gave him a warm home. Should be, a perfect human fairy tale. However, it was the inventor's regret-Scissorhands, who became an "accomplice" of the director to break the fairy tale.
Scissorhands, in the beginning, was the reason for the curious women in the small town to accept him. After that, it became an absurd excuse to drive him away. This excuse is enough to conceal their true inner thoughts: weird women are neurotic xenophobic, coquettish women are devastating revenge. The lonely family woman who has nothing to do and doesn't know how to train herself is the best soil for rumors to grow. The intolerance of self-interest violations is far better than the trace of shame, which is caused by Edward's previous favor.
Humans are different from objects. One is walking straight, and the other is the creativity generated by the combination of the brain and the hand. Curse? Fu Xi? Tim Burton exaggerated the creativity of the hand while also increasing its destructiveness. Edward can create a beautiful cut world, but he cannot touch the human society around him. The old man, boy, and Jin were all scratched by his love. If that day he personally cracked his own human hand, he personally cut his love short.
Kim, Edward. The open line between them has been broken, but the dark line buried deep in my heart has tied the two people for a long time. There is a kind of love that is far away because of love.
If it can be predicted, it will not happen. However, people will not reject the beauty that is almost tasseled because they are afraid of the harm caused by love. Tim Burton let Edward experience the extremes of emotion and morality before letting him leave, while Feng Xiaogang chose the concealment of perfectionism in "A World Without Thieves". He understands that the audience and more people with compassionate heart cannot bear to let the real evil infect the flawless goodness.
Movies are a way for people to realize the world they have imagined. It is a utopia different from real life constructed by more directors. However, fairy tales are always fragile in reality.
Staying away and concealing are both ways to solve the problem, escape from pollution. Some people can spend their entire lives to escape, and the film also conforms to people's vulgar psychology. No matter from the senses or the psychology, it satisfies the fairy tale fantasy of adults to some extent. However, in the fantasy, the blues that permeated the bone marrow is a poignant mark. Because such a group of people who like to fantasize at the same time understand the possibility of disillusionment.
In the end, Tim Burton still saved this kind non-human being and led a self-clean life. The beauty still exists, without the intervention of others.
For Johnny Depp, I just want to say a few words.
Johnny Depp’s movies are really not many. "Deep Love", "Chocolate", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "Courage" written, directed and acted by him. But I like him because of "Edward Scissors", the eyes that touch the world in time and space, the focused look when designing and creating, and the timid and shattered steps when walking around the world.
"Don't bother him anymore, let him leave."

    I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I can be in front of you.

    There is no repaired version of this film! Even in TB's works, this is considered the most innocent one. When the inventor died, Ed broke the artificial hand originally intended to give him as a Christmas gift. He tried to touch the face of his loved one but only left blood marks. Unexpectedly, this time someone was crying almost at the same time, and they were crying so loudly. After the light turned on, I found that he was a clear white-haired uncle, so cute
