Hello everyone, I'm a gentleman.
This is my 004 article.
The movie I'm going to share today is Edward Scissorhands.
It is a fantasy romance film directed by Tim Burton that premiered in the United States on December 14, 1990, and won awards such as Best Fantasy Film at the 18th Saturn Awards and Best Art Direction at the 45th British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards.
01 Edward – "I will never refuse, because the person who asked me for help was you"
He was an unfinished robot with all the normal human behaviors and emotions, except for the pair of scissor hands that looked cold and sharp.
When he was found in the castle, his hair was messy and tangled, his eyes were panicked and melancholy, and his lips were pale and cold. He moved slowly out from behind the shed, frightened but eager, nervously waving his scissor hand.
The first life of being brought to town by Qin's mother became the warmest memory under his cold appearance.
When he first saw the picture of The Piano in his new home, how bright the girl's smile was. Everything slowly blurred, only her shadow became clearer and clearer.
He is simple and innocent, loving everything around him with all his heart. He used his unique talents to trim flowers and grass for his neighbors in the town, dress up puppies, give people haircuts... He surprised everyone and gave the town a new look. He began to receive star-like attention, giving television interviews. He thought he would make everyone happy and satisfied, and make everyone accept him.
And it all ended with a misunderstanding. He was attacked in the human world for some untrue "false" charges. Except for Qin's family, people will not believe that he has always treated people with kindness. His sharp weapon, which he only knew how to use to trim flowers and plants to decorate the beautiful world, never tried to hurt anyone. I don't even know how to protect myself.
Like the devil, it is an angel, and most people only have a complete shell. People never really tried to get to know him, just to get benefits from him. Once it was discovered that he, a "strange man", might pose a threat, he would be expelled mercilessly, even to the point of death.
Edward was heart-wrenching.
He wanted to touch the cheek of his deceased loved one, but only blood was left;
He was afraid that his hand would puncture the waterbed, and he would shrink his hand to his chest all night;
He wants everyone to be happy and loved by everyone, but it is impossible to achieve;
He wanted to give the girl a hug, but after hesitating, he let go...
He loves the girl he fell in love with at first sight and is willing to give everything for her. Even if it was his own innocence, even if it was the world's incomprehension, even if the sound of the siren when he was wrongly caught was so frightening and uneasy to him. He will be righteous whenever she needs it.
On Christmas Eve, he was finally confessed by the piano. She was not afraid of his sharp hands and threw herself into his arms. It was a hug he longed for. But what he can say is not "I love you too", but only "sorry I can't"
He's a robot that can't even be hugged by a lover. He was destined to be lonely because he did not belong to this world. He can cut beautiful gardening and beautiful hairstyles, but he can never cut off people's inner misunderstandings and prejudices about him, and he can't cut out the incompatibility with the world. How much he loves the world.
02 Qin - "I am old now, I wish he would always remember what I used to be"
When I first saw him, it was her screams that frightened him from his strange appearance.
She ended up falling in love with him incredibly. Maybe it was his determination to sacrifice himself and not let her be hurt in the slightest, it was his simple words that replied "precious things should be given to the person he loves the most", maybe it was when he smiled and hid his little pride after helping his neighbors to be praised... Seemingly cold people, but have the warmest and most simple heart in the world.
She might never forget the first snow he had given her. On Christmas Eve, he carved huge angel ice sculptures while she danced among falling ice flowers.
Edward eventually returned to his castle, and she became his granddaughter's grandmother in her time.
"It never snowed before he came. If he hadn't been on the mountain, there wouldn't have been snowflakes in the sky. The 17-year-old girl had become a white-haired old woman, but Edward's appearance and inner thoughts had not changed in the slightest. He was alone in the night with his dexterous scissor hand, carving the image of the lover in his heart over and over again.
So the crushed ice he carved turned into flying snow in the sky, and it arrived as promised on the winter night.
Where there is snow, there is Edward.
With Edward, there is the warmth of love.
She didn't go looking for him again.
She will remember the 17-year-old girl who said "I love you" to her unusual lover.
She will always be like the one on Christmas Eve, dancing with joy in his memories.
The snowflakes outside the window were over and over again, never stopping to fall for her.
03 "Some calls are destined to have a sad ending"
Fairy tales are fairy tales,
Maybe it's because it's short and unreal.
He survived countless lonely days and nights by relying on the "I love you" of his beloved girl. Cut out the green hope and the beauty of the snow and ice over and over again.
It was snowing again outside the window.
That was Edward missing.
He was waiting and never left.
