You MISSED the biggest sin of all at the end of the movie - how did Edward get all those slabs of ice up to the attic, who bought them to him, I have so many questions
could have been that in winter the ice and cold came through the roof at the top there was thevbig hole and hes carved the ice part into ice and it started snowing
You’re not missing anything with the slip and slide. I was maybe about 20 years old when i first tried one and even at 20 I could NOT move the next day! 😂😂
Honestly what I love about this movie is that it's a complete reversal of the classic, appearances can be deceiving story, where he starts off being loved despite his appearances and ends with him having to go back into hiding for being treated as a monster. Very clever.
Hence a subversion of Hughesian suburbia, which grew to accept Del Griffith and Buck Russell… for a while. Burtonian suburbia welcomes Beetlejuice and Edward near immediately but in each case the populace seem thankful, relieved or both to cast them out.
The reason that they didn't use Vincent Price effectively is that this was his last movie. He was very weak during filming and he died. I'm sure that Burton would have had more scenes with him if that hadn't been the case.
"Thing Tim Burton Said upon meeting Johnny Depp somehow makes its way into the script" in response to "Can I bring him to show and tell Tomorrow?" is the funniest line in this video.
"Hold Me." "I can't." The most heartbreaking exchange in the movie, I always tear up. Also, Winona really suits blonde hair, I'm so used to seeing her as a brunette, but she's apparently a natural blonde.
3:35 Edward doesn't age, so the inventer died probably years upon years ago and his body just decayed over time and Edward didn't know what to do. So that could explain why Edward is so timid he literally saw a body decay for him over the course of years.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat actually Edward was an original character Tim Burton Drew as a young boy Edward is Tim Burton's isolation and loneliness because he didn't go out much when he was young.
Excellent point. That should have been mentioned in the movie. Edward could also have found a way to move the body. If not buried it in the ground, then under leaves and mulch or something.
Annnd I absolutely love this butttt.... She had cottonballs and astringent because of Avon I would believe. To remove the makeup she tested? :-) still so glad to finally see this one!
To be completely honest Johnny Depp absolutely kills it in this role and the fact that the guy was kept under extreme heat conditions to the point where he was caused extreme discomfort and actually passed out on several occasions. The guy deserves so much more credit than be gets.
Asking the questions we all need answers to. Also.... does he really need to eat? He wouldn't have been able to feed himself alone up in the castle. Rats I guess?
Something that always bugged me with this film is how one moment Edward is incredibly dextrous, capable of sculpting lifelike ice sculptures or styling dogs' fur/people's hair in seconds, and the next moment he's a bumbling idiot with the coordination of an drunken hippo.
TBF, Tim Burton certainly WANTED to use Vincent Price as The Inventor more, but he was seriously ill at the time he was making the movie, so they cut down on a lot of his scenes to make things easier for everyone. This ended up being his final live-action role before he died three years later.
I've never gotten over the idea that the inventor was capable of making a working brain and heart, but gave him a dangerous ineffective scissor rig instead of hands. When in the transition from cooking robot to human man did scissor fingers get introduced, and why?
I have seen a ballet version from Matthew Bourne. It was beautiful and really leaned into the idea of it being a fairytale, especially with the ending.
@@adamgreenwood9785 Recently saw the ballet and it's so good to see some of the plot holes filled in and know that it's been done by the cowriter of the original. Beautiful ballet, one of my favourite of his x
She isn't a real estate agent. Jeremy did not watch this movie. Of course she has skin care implements... She even says "Avon calling" when she enters the house. This episode is confused.
I cry everytime I watch this movie, such a masterpiece. I get all the sins but it still has a special place in my heart, plus the aesthetics are just spot on ❤
I've always thought that this movie was supposed to be set in Florida. Tim Burton grew up there, hating the suburbs he was raised in. So the whole, It never snowed before he came down, would actually make a lot of sense. Although yes, will totally agree, the biggest gap in logic for me in this movie, beyond him being a man made of wax and machinery, is, well...where the fuck does he keep getting those giant blocks of ice?! lol
Damn, you hard on this one. The best way I've heard this film described is, it's a fable. It's not about reality, practicality, logic, or common sense. It's a fable about a mythical being that helps contextualize a moral.
I don't even remember this being the premise of the story. I barely remembered anything about this movie, beyond the "And then she took all her clothes off" scene. I totally forgot it was a bed-time story telling, nor that it was a 'moral' on how snow came.
Never mind the rest of the neighbourhood, what about the rest of the world? The film seems to be implying that all snow, everywhere, is the product of Edward's ice-sculpting.
This was filmed in a Tampa neighborhood near me. The people were paid big bucks to have their houses painted like that and then painted back again. Tim Burton said the clouds in Florida, made the sky look magical, or whatever. We do get some awesome looking cloud formations down here almost daily.
Yes, I have the right to enter and ascend YOUR staircase. Behold the power of AVON💅🏾 * Sorry the costume department was phenomenal in this and since I'm biased towards this era of fashion early Avon was bananas in their marketing and sales strategy! Watching from Asia, continue to sin away 🌺
3:50 She isn't a real estate agent... She literally says "Avon Calling" when she enters... She is selling cosmetics door to door! Of course she has these skincare implements with her. Did you even watch the movie?
Did you watch the video....twenty seconds before your time stamp, he acknowledges she's a F'n Avon lady....but her intrusive behavior comes off like she's a real estate agent. It's a joke
I was a teen when this movie came out in theaters. I took my best friend to watch it with me, little did she know I was in love with her.....but I couldn't tell her because she had a crush on another guy. This movie stuck a knife to my heart and I went home depressed. Many years later I'm happily married and I watch this movie with a nostalgic smile on my face. I wonder what happened to her, she's not on social media.
I can't believe it took me til THIS VIDEO to make the connection of how funny it is that Johnny Depp is playing a guy that has scissors for hands when his first role was getting murdered by a guy that had knives for fingers...
In my most recent viewing of the film (which is currently free to watch on yt), I finally realized the older redhead woman rapped Edward, and then told her friends he rapped her when Edward was getting into trouble (previously that scene was always skipped/cut or I must've missed it, cause I don't even remember the scene from before when it played on tv). And then she never got punished or anything for it. Edward told the family what happened, but the parents immediately brushed it under the rug. At best the kids looked concerned for like 2 seconds, I guess?
Vincent Price was supposed to be in more scenes but he could only work so much because he was suffering from Parkinson's at the time. He deserves major credit for being in it at all!
A sin or two off for Danny Elfman's score, which is not only constructed around UNfinished motifs and chord progressions, but has since been used in countless trailers and ads for other whimsical mysterious media.
Same. I thought Edward was meant to be a slasher killer based on nothing but a sped up gif of him cutting the woman’s hair, cus I mistook her horny face for despair😭I was pleasantly disproven when I actually watched the movie
Vincent Price's role was intended to be larger, but the veteran actor was very ill with emphysema and Parkinson's disease, so his scenes were cut to a minimum.
What i appreciate very much about Edward Scissorhands...is that it feels tim burton was not only paying homage to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein but also towards english goth band The Cure. In many ways, I can sense Disintegration ('89) being the main influence for this screenplay. 🖤🌚
Vincent Price was extremely sick and died shortly after filming wrapped. He was supposed to have a bigger part, but literally couldn't. Which makes the sins involving him pretty dickish, even for this channel. 😕
Since there was a lot made about ghosts saying "boo," I'm going to tell you it's not an accident. It's Latin. Boo in Latin roughly translates to "I alarm" or "I am alarming"
Unlike the classroom in this movie, it really cut me deeper than possibly unwashed scissorhands that my childhood classroom didn't even contain one globe thereby making me less worldly than students who had a globe (or multiple globes) in their classroom and ultimately resulted in me trying to buy my first car with cookies.
You can buy a car with cookie-shaped coins, though. Especially if they're stored in a cookie jar. Just smash that thing right into the salesman's nuts; yeah, right in the nutz. Break off a piece. "KEEP THE *CHANGE*, BEOTCH!"
A part of this movie was shot in a historic shopping center in my hometown in Florida and I swear to god, the people who live here think it's the most fascinating factoid you've ever heard. Anytime anyone asks about our town's history, we don't talk about the organized crime or the town's founding. They don't talk about a lot of the beautiful nature we have around here and what's been done to protect it over the years. No, we're interesting because our Publix got a little cameo in a 30 year old Tim Burton movie.
I love and adore this movie. Johnny Depp is so incredible and just disappears into the role. The movie plot is so-so sometimes, but I love Johnny's acting.
Hi CinemaSins! I enjoy watching your videos and I always think you are funny! I would like to see you sin Zoolander. It would be really really ridiculously hilarious.
Every scene involving Vincent price should’ve had a sin removed, especially since he was in frail health at the time. Also, it was nice that he starred in a movie directed by someone who considered Price an inspiration
3:56 This is actually kind of brilliant. She sells Avon, so yes, she has cotton balls and astringent (probably as part of an anti-acne skincare routine).
I can’t believe this one hasn’t been done already…it’s almost too good to sin? Ok one, ONE SIN for Johnny Depp being TOO believable as a man made man with kitchen utensils for hands? Or, one sin for making me feel too much?
Not gonna lie, i used to get this movie and Sweeney Todd confused for the LONGEST time, in my head they're the same movie you can not convince me otherwise.
Something about this movie made me never like it. The idea of person living with screwed up scissorhands never sat well with me even as a kid. Felt too much empathy, so I guess that makes it a great portrayal of a ridiculous character.
*FUN FACT:* Tim Burton cast Anthony Michael Hall only because he got all the globes from the set of "The Breakfast Club" and he was able to use those for the show-and-tell scene.
20:40 I would agree Jim didn't deserve to die for most of the film, but at the end he literally attempted murder with a gun and then with a blunt object. If anything for Edward it was self defense more than murder.
@@thejasonknightfiascoband5099 Edward is already being cast out from anyone he knows and yet decides to help the dog with out being asked to do so just to be let alone again
Fun fact: John Cusack, Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, Robert Downey Jr., Gary Oldman, William Hurt and even Michael Jackson were all considered for the role of Edward Scissorhands before Johnny Depp was cast. Tom Cruise was actually about to star in the title role of Edward Scissorhands but turned it down due to creative differences with Tim Burton. Thus Tom Cruise was out and Johnny Depp was in.
@@Cazz8203 It’s fun to learn interesting facts every now and then. I found it absolutely fascinating how there were many other actors being considered for Edward Scissorhands other than Johnny Depp.
Reading the comments, I see that some people are missing what this is actually supposed to be. Don’t take all of the events/ Elements in the movie as some literal thing that happens throughout the story. In concept, I believe that it’s supposed to be more of a modern fairytale, that a grandma is telling to her granddaughter, that combined the story of her first love and loss with snow falling. Like there are some elements that are supposed to be mystical Which aren’t going to make logical sense, like Edward, being ageless and blanketing the town with snow every year. It’s all one big fairytale.
You forgot to sin the fact that the cookie making machine never cleans the cutters or other things using the process of creating the items, so you know they are most likely very dirty.
okay hold on. I understand the part about the snow not being able to reach all parts of town but her saying "before Edward it never snowed here" makes sense cus they live in Florida 😭 it doesn't snow here
