——“I love you.”
This movie was shown by the English teacher to the students in the class. I remember the first time I saw Edward, the students around were screaming and sighing in fright, and I was deeply attracted by his deep eyes. As the camera moved closer, the thin cheeks and the helpless expression gradually became clear, and I saw Edward's abrupt black, black clothes, dark circles, and black hair. This made me feel close to Edward from the bottom of my heart, an unreasonable affection for such a solitary existence.
Away from complicated society, in the castle on the hill, he has his beautiful paradise.
There are lovely manicured plants, a quiet life like water, long staircases and old castles. But no friends.
From the moment he found his father down, his life was turned upside down with the shattering of the Christmas gift Edward never got (a pair of normal human hands). After that, the loneliness without guidance also made him feel helpless when facing Brigitte, a salesman who broke into his castle, made him unable to distinguish the so-called right from wrong, and made him feel sad that he could not embrace love.
Edward Scissorhands is pure. Faced with the money he found, he would "Give it to my friend" without hesitation; he clearly knew that the door Jin asked him to open was a trap set by Jin's boyfriend on purpose, but he was still willing to fall into it, because it was Jin Let him go; he sits on the side of the street and cuts the hair of the dog whose eyes are covered with fur; he carves ice sculptures for the one he loves, and gives her a snow of love.
So he had to say goodbye to the world. Because he doesn't understand the hearts of the girl next door; he doesn't understand why there is frame-up and frame-up; his chaotic view of right and wrong cannot adapt to the secular society. His blackness could not protect his naked innocence and pure fantasy.
The appearance and disappearance of Edward did not disturb the worldliness, selfishness, curiosity, power and anything else that the people of the town had. But his appearance and disappearance on the screen has impacted us as audiences. Pureness is ephemeral, and it perishes if it does not return. The biggest trouble is not poverty and stupidity, but when you are so realistic that you can't even care for your dreams, you will end up with nothingness that can be imagined.
And Edward is fleshed out. Because only pure love and hope fill him. In the castle he returned, there was no frame-up, no misunderstanding, and no calculation. What can protect him is not his black, not his scissorhands, but his castle.
And thank Kim for finally saying love to Edward. Let him not be too desperate for the world under the mountain.
Also let us in reality know that there is Edward who has never returned to the castle, he is as pure as a snow mountain. Maybe he's waiting for friends and love, and if we embrace him like Kim, we too can reap innocence.
Edward's scissorhands prevented him from embracing love, but brought the snowflakes of yearning year after year to Jin. He sculpts an ice sculpture for her every year, living in the memory of Jin's dance, with a gentle smile. At the foot of the mountain where he was staying, Kim also made him appear in a story he told his granddaughter.
This is the end of the story. Not a miss, but the tenderest fit between Edward and Kim.
