From my understanding, Tim Burton wanted this movie to be an example of how the most normal seeming people can be monsters. Edward might’ve been different and an outcast, but he was kind and gentle and would never hurt anyone. Meanwhile these gross caricatures of an American dream neighbourhood wearing bright clothes, living in nice houses were doing nothing but gossiping, lying, nearly sexually assaulting at one point and when Edward tried leaving to avoid causing more damage, *they* chased *him.* It’s exaggerated for the sake of the movie but it really highlights how backwards our idea of “dangerous people” can be

My girlfriend from too many years ago has a small part in this film. She's one of the camping friends who gets out of the van when Kim comes home and says she's tired and wants to get home and take a shower. I drove her to the set and got to watch her scene get filmed although I was way back by the craft table. They finished around 2 in the morning When she went for the tryout she had just finished filming a scene for the TV show The New Leave it to Beaver and was just in regular clothes and not made up and she said all the other girls trying out were in glamour mode and said she got the part because she looked like a girl exhausted from being out camping. I loved her story.

This is one of Danny Elfman's most beautiful soundtracks. It is a masterpiece.

the last film Vincent Price did. what a legend!

this movie is one of my all time favourites, and the music is just magical..almost like a dream 💛

It's a beautiful but tragic story. Your reaction and discussion afterwards made me appreciate this story alot more.

Johnny and Winona fell in love and were together for 3 years after this movie. Mr Price, with his unmistakable voice, was perfect as the inventor. A touchstone character role for his final part.

This was Tim Burton’s greatest Masterpiece! I always never forget where I first saw this as a kid.

I have a love/hate relationship with this movie. I'm 33 now but I've been watching it all my life and even as a very young child, I still felt the emotion. It's a tough one for me to watch often. It's an extraordinarily painful, I feel empathy with such strength that it rips my heart to shreds. I'm about to start the reaction but I'm already teary, goosebumps are here. He's by himself for so long that she ages to an elderly woman and lives a full life but still loves him. And he loves her. Even after decades, the snow is for her. Always.

I've only watched this movie three times in my life, decades apart. I've cried every time.

I love this one. The inventor is played by the legendary actor, one of Horror movies Icons, Vincent Price. I hope one day you'll get to react to more of his movies.

I always see this as a Christmas movie. I remember it coming out at Christmas time and taking my work crew to it. We all loved it. This and What's Eating Gilbert Grape are my favorite Johnny Depp movies

I cried and cried so hard when I first saw this at the time of it's release and even now, knowing so well what's coming, it's always so moving. Johnny Depp conveyed all the emotions with just his eyes and maybe 10 lines of softly spoken dialogue, if that. Amazing. And then there's Burton's stunning visuals of a heightened reality that's so immediately compelling and masterfully done. Knew you'd enjoy this one, fun to watch with you!

Alan Arkin and Dianne Wiest are my favorite parts. He's so clueless and she's so accepting, and they both just try to do their best by Edward. Alan Arkin is always endlessly charming (check him out in The In-Laws 1979) and Dianne Wiest is an iconic 80's mom (Lost Boys is another excellent choice for spooky season).

This one makes me cry every time I see it I think the music gets me emotional 😭

This soundtrack is amazing. I used to put it on and drive around, and it always made me feel like I was in the middle of my own movie. Everything seemed magical, especially at sunset.

If I'm not mistaken this was the 1st movie that Tim Burton casted Johnny Depp in.

Tim Burton’s take on Beauty & the Beast. I absolutely loved this film as a child.

Technically more Christmas movie but still glad you’re doing it.

I really love this film. Johnny is absolutely heartbreaking and fragile in this role. This was also one of Vincent Price’s last performances, as the inventor. So many moments in this film just get me right in the heart. It’s about the Other, the different one, the outsider. And the essentially innocent. I loved your discussion afterwards. Tim Burton has such a way of delving deep and creating these beautiful worlds. I’m disabled, I have mental and physical health issues that affect everything…the issue of inclusiveness, of empathy and consideration…it is very complex, and l love the way this film brings these subjects up in a fairytale way. Lovely. Much love hunni❤️

What a profound conclusion you made on this film. Always love your reactions! 🥰

Please enjoy the inventor scenes and the music. Omg this was such a work of art. I still remember seeing this from my childhood and this was my very first Johnny Depp film I saw on the screen back in the 1990s.

The inventor was played by Vincent Price. This was his last role as Alzheimer's took him from us.

Omg you will love this!

I see this as a modern retelling of beauty and the beast, with a unique twist.

Did you realize that the daughter, later grows up and plays the mom on Stranger Things?

Edward also represents the role of the artist in conventional America. Anyone who is dark and "different" is at first, a curiosity to simpletons living in a pastel world. The citizens then take advantage of his talents and feel "special" by associating with him. But when he is pushed too far by their corrupt nature and rebels, it turns them against him and he is exiled.

It's about society not knowing how to accept or understand anything different to what they are used to. Try to put it in a box that fits in with you and you're idea of normal, when in fact there are so many different types of normal. The people around you every day that you view as normal, are all so very different if you could see them behind their masks. I love your reaction as always Kemi, you are very insightful. ❤

Please please do not go over the gift the creator gives to Edward! That scene is very touching and especially the ending!

Your reaction is so cute! I've been watching this since I was a little boy in the 90s. Over the years, I've watched you evolve and learn so much from music and movies it's beautiful! And so are you!

Your speech is beautiful! Thank you! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🖤🤍🤎

I had a feeling you would really like this one. I feel like you hit the nail on the head of what the story was trying to convey when you pointed out how beautiful Edwards garden was. We see the hideous ugly scary castle and think it’s going to be bad and then when we walk inside it’s beautiful. Just like Edward. Outwardly people were scared but he had a beautiful soul.

Beautiful analysis ❤️

Я смотрела этот фильм, когда была подростком. Мне было так жалко Эдварда. И я очень сильно плакала в конце фильма. Потом я не хотела пересматривать этот фильм, хотя он мне понравился. Мне было больно думать об этом. А сейчас я вспомнила его благодаря Вашей реакции. Спасибо за Ваше доброе сердце. Это был первый фильм, где я увидела Джонни Деппа. Я тогда почти влюбилась в него. Точнее, в его персонажа.

Edward sissorhands is such a good movie

Cant wait for this reaction Honey 😸

The inventor/father was Vincent Price...My all time favorite horror actor...You should check out some of his classic horror movies.

It's always interesting to see the interpretations various people pull from Tim Burton films. I do enjoy them and find value in them, even when my own interpretation differs. Being different does not negate those perspectives, but says something about what the contrasts actually have in common. My own view is that Edward was a pure spirit, angelic in a sense. He saw life as beauty and acted in order to remove the dross to reveal the obscured beauty inherent in all things. It's like Peg had gone up to the Pearly Gates and brought an angel back down to the tawdry suburbs. He just couldn't live in our corrupt world. The people of that world took advantage of him, made demands, and couldn't understand who or what Edward was, so it was always destined to be tragic to force Edward to live there. Eventually, he 'goes back up', to return to his 'heaven', but continuing to manifest his vision of beauty. In a way, the story is not so tragic, because Edward is not corrupted by the world outside his castle and, though he couldn't quite keep the girl, he captures the girl's heart. It's always about love. The lonely inventor sees something in the pre-Edward, holding that cookie heart up to it. The inventor pours his love into the upgrading and teaching to make Edward come to life. And eventually the girl who had captured his heart tells him she loves him. And Edward is so pure a spirit, that hearing the sincere expression of love is enough for him, enough to sustain him afterwards. I understood your concern that this would be some sort of horror film, and I wished I could reassure you before your watching it that it's a beautiful story about a sweet being. Movies are a visual medium; the visual can be presented as representative or as contrast to the truth. This film presents visuals as superficial and often misleading. Courage is needed to test our perceptions. Is it an ugly, threatening handicap? Or is it an interesting, creative diversity? It all comes down to what you do with it; it's who you are and how that motivates you. I love this film. I love your response to it.

Johnny Depp was also in the Corpse Bride and Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. I'm pretty sure he was in others too. I think their minds might work in similar ways, tbh. This movie is the epitome of "never judge a book by it's cover" and selfless love and I adore it. ❤ He said yes because he took what the sleazy woman said at face value. He's too innocent to know what it was she was after. She's the worse person in this whole movie. Well, her and the boyfriend. Great reaction!

🎶If you don"t look goood we don't look goood. Vidal Sasoon-scissorhands.🎶

The special makeup effects were done by Oscar Winning VFX company Stan Winston Studios. Robert Downey Jr, Michael Jackson and Tom Hanks were considered for Edward Scissohands.

In my top 10 films of all time, even the score, it's one of the most beautiful scores in my opinion. Johnny Depps performance is just phenomenal I cry everytime the ending is just sad and and so emotional

One of my faves!

So glad you watched this one. One of my favorites. I love your explanation of your understanding at the end. Interesting you mentioned how the father was just dispensing info, but not really receiving from Edward.

I love how insightful you are with this movie. Oh and at the beginning you were thinking of Sweeney Todd (the barber one). Tim Burton has a very distinct style but this was one of his early ones; I think only Beetlejuice came before, maybe? So this was new at the time and not like now, where you can just look at an image and go, "Oh, that's a Tim Burton movie." He does work with Johnny Depp and Wynona Rider a lot.

You should check out the 1980 movie Prom Night with Jamie Lee Curtis.

I've subscribed to your channel because I love your ending reactions and analysis of the movies. You have very knowledgeable insights that make complete sense. I hope you gather many more subscribers!

Believe it or not, my first time. Let's do this. Okay, yes I said it my first time!!!

I love your analysis! Very nice Hun ☺

Great reaction and analysis KSO. This film is truly rom-tragic story. I really loved how they explore the theme monster vs mankind; as you see, the neighbors literally liked him when he was useful and hated him when he made mistakes due to him being socially inept. In my opinion, The mother, Kim, her brother and his creator were the only ones who showed him any kindness or respect. I must recommend Beetljuice which stars Wyona Reid (Kim) and Disney Channel’s Zombies trilogy, which is a Romeo and Juliet story about a cheerleader and a zombie. 🧑🏻✂️👐🏻👩🏼👵🏻🖤💔❤️‍🩹

Love Your Analize, Is So True! This Movie Is So Beautiful 💛🖤 Magnificent Reaction As Always 💛💛

What's Eating Gilbert Grape would probably be a great one for future reactions

I was in love with Wynona Ryder , since heathers. We’re about the same age. I felt like Edward being biologically unusual and an outcast. So I loved this movie . Not as much as Heathers though.

i saw this movie in theaters when it first came out. it always makes me sad. great storytelling!

@SCENE'crly, K.S.O. Please review Tim Burton's Batman (1989)

You should check out another Burton/Depp movie this month, Sleepy Hollow. October is the perfect time of year to watch that one. 🎃 You may even recognize a few Harry Potter actors. Great casting, very atmospheric, and a storyline that will keep you guessing til the end.

you should dedicate a month to Tim burton and watch all of his films.

So happy you didn't feel tricked 😁 It is a sweet story, Another amazing bittersweet movie I'm hoping some reactors will watch, Mr Magoriums Wonder Emporium 🥺♥️🥰 Great cast, funny, sad, and just all around wholesome movie.

I think the black "leather" is Edward's... skin I guess.

God Bless you girl from my mom and I in Southern California USA 🇺🇸 We love your channel!! This movie along with Beetlejuice was another of Tim Burton’s Masterpieces! Another Tim Burton film also with Johnny a Depp you should check out is Sleepy Hollow 1999. Some people don’t like it as well as Edward Scissorhands but give it a watch! It’s one of my favorite movies!! Johnny Depp is definitely a favorite among many people. He’s not afraid to tackle any role! PS I almost forgot. There’s another film he was in that most people also didn’t like him in but I thought he did a tremendous job In was the Lone Ranger 2013 where he played Tonto. It’s a western put out by Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski produces and directed it. Great movie! Take care girl!! Love your channel! ❤️❤️🙏 Looking forward to your next reaction!

Kim's boyfriend reminds me a lot of Biff

Love your reactions! I hope you can premier the reaction you did to Spirited Away on KZfaq. I know the last Ghibli movie reaction you did got unlisted/privated, but I hope you'll be allowed to upload Spirited Away 💛

Please watch Napoleon dynamite!! 🙏

Greetings to you k S O hope you are doing good

I understand where you're coming from about using the word disability, but I have heard and now understand the explanation from a blind KZfaqr named Molly Burke. Disabled is the correct term because it is a simple description of fact, and we're not trying to tiptoe around disabled people as if they're fragile or unaware of their own lived experiences. There is an ability they lack, and it impacts their lives every day by making certain things more difficult (mostly thanks to how society is not set up inclusively, as you mentioned), so it IS a disability. She explains it way better and makes amazing content, if you want to check her out.

I have no intentions or I never try to have intentions to trick anyone into any movie or series now I know from everyone's perspective it depends on how we react to things just because I'm my friend's funny doesn't mean or scary or other things it depends on how and who else is gonna see it so honest truth I hope I have never tricked anyone but I do like what you make so I do enjoy them with you

Tim Burton wanted to tell a more modern fairy tale. Why does it snow? Well let me tell you a long and complicated story about where snow comes from and there's also a guy with scissors for hands...

It always makes me sad how they take advantage of him and then turn on him like that.

Hey can a wealthy patreon recommend the movie “about a boy”, think it’s a sweet story she would love

Now I’ve touched one person about 6 times in the past almost 3 years. I live apart from people making art.

Look at all he gave, they gave him nothing

People call me a perversion of nature on a regular basis. I am unnatural and wretched amongst god’s creatures, not worth the time, space, and resources to keep me viable upon the planet. Again, I related to this movie,

The dad was cool up until Edward ran away. There's no way he didn't hear the altercation with Jim. "Hurr durr he just waltzed down the street!" give me a break.

See... not scary, lol.

Depp 🤢🤮 I can’t pretend.
