Jadine<3: Edward ScissorHands

This was a film made in the year of 1990, the main protagonist in this movie was Johnny Depp although his character name for this film was Edward.

The plot of the movie is quite comical and shows the social norm for the 1950's what with the street of never ending terrace houses and the nosey neighbours and bright colours. This makes me think of 'The Simpson's'. The audios clips played a significant part in the movie. when there was clips of all the families and neighbours the music was bubbly, cheerful, up beat with a nice constant tempo. The genres perceived in this movie where Drama what with the over egzaderation and excitment, Comedy Fantasy the ever so perfect and happy family lifestyle and Romance.

This leads me on nicely to then discuss the dynamics of the family life in comparison to Edward. When Edwards' character was being introduced into the movie the lighting and colours where minimal. This made it seem eary, scary, and made me as a viewer curious to know what lead up those stairs, who or what was it stood in the corner of the attic and why was it there?

i like the way the director Tim Burton, used all the scenery to his advantage, using both side of the spectrum played them off against one another but then brung it together so that it became a symphony of movie history. not just because i admire this movie and have watched it more then twice, i like the way that even though slight fear comes across the viewers because of Edwards' appearance but the curiosity subsides that and makes them continue to watch the movie.

This is my opinion is a paradigm sub-cross genre movies. Pegg bogs, the local 'Avon' lady leaves the "oh so sweet" suburben area and makes her last stop at the mansion and the top of a long bendy winding trail that leads up to her discovery of Edward. Edward was the result of an great inventor progress he is "almost human" but he doesn't get to finish his "project"for he dies.

At first Edward appears dangerous, but instead he is a sincere gentle being. After Pegg Bogs invites him not just into her car but to her home and neighbourhood. Edwards life then changes for both the better and the worse.
