Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! See you tomorrow for The Grinch and after that will be Ratatouille!! And for those asking, yes I intentionally left out her kicking the dog so it cuts right to my reaction around 20:40. Didn’t want to show it😂
@@VoidMySoul What ? I just checked among his 5 first reactions, he is the same guy. He just seems more confortable, and the type of movies he reviews are different too. He’s more expressive, but it’s only due to the habit of making videos, stop making assomptions about people.
Edward didn’t stab his creator. The old man had a heart attack and died. As he fell to the ground, he leaned forward a little and Edward’s new hands fell into his scissor hands and got broken. Edward lost his father and his new hands at the same time. 🥺
This was in the narration the old woman gives, right at the beginning, if you go back and listen: "He died before he got to finish the man he invented". It lets us know where the flashbacks are building up to - Edward will be almost finished, but the man dies before he can get his hands. I don't think he destroys the hands, as I always interpreted the gift of the hands to be metaphorical, not the actual hands he build for him, since they look like wax mannequin hands, just that he's getting hands next. I don't think him stabbing the hands is about loss, it's just contrast between what he has vs what could have been with his "father" dead. Even if the old man doesn't fall forward, there's no one to finish him.
To me, Edward always read as an allegory for ND people with 'savant-like' skills, who are valued by others for their unusual talents, but when they show signs of atypical or 'undesirable' behavior, people no longer want anything to do with them.
That's a great take on it.... what's so great about the film is it's never explicitly stated as being an allegory for one thing or another, but there are definitely so many applicable readings for what Edward and how he is treated can represent and say about human nature... whether it's disability, race, gender, sexuality or just generally not fitting in with your people, it shows how judgemental, opportunistic, tribal and cruel people can be even when someone is so pure, sweet, innocent, kind and loving. The main conclusion I think it makes is that just because a person is treated like that, it doesn't stop them sharing with the world their gifts regardless. Edward is shunned yes, but the story is perfect and beautiful in that he keeps giving snow to the town anyway. Even in the darkness, you have to keep shining your light...
This unfortunately was Vincent Price’s last film before his death. He was the inventor in this film and Tim Burton loved him and had him narrate a short film called Vincent. People will now him better as the narrator for the Michael Jackson son Thriller who says “Darkness falls across the land…” Some films with him I would recommend include: Comedy of Terrors, House of Wax (1953 film), The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Theatre of Blood, You know him also as the voice of Professor Ratigan from Great Mouse Detective.
@@ultimatealdo1922 No. See Price's dialogue had been recorded back in the 1970's and we don't count the Miramax version as been a finished film. If you want to see a version closer to Williams vision look up on youtube The Thief Archive. That person has made a mark 5 of the Recobbled Cut.
Recobbled cut had unfinished animation that’s not fully colored and painted but I get your point I’ve looked into the thief archive even miramax version sucks for everyone even the recobbled cut was better storytelling from Williams that hadn’t been finished even the other creators kicked him out of the project even Disney made Aladdin but thief and the cobbler deserves not to be forgotten but I get your point
This movie hit me so hard the first time I watched it. I felt for Edward when Kim told him “I love you” at the end, because in spite of how others saw him, that one sentence gave Edward an ounce of happiness. Love your content, Nick!
The scissorhands for Edward Scissorhands were created by Stan Winston. Who also designed the Predator, The Terminator, and the animatronic dinosaurs for the Jurassic Park films.
Nick, the fact that you teared up within the first few seconds of meeting Edward...I should have expected nothing less. I hope your ear infection gets better! Those are the worst :(
I cried with you nick, i love this movie so much. as a person with autism, this movie hits me in the gut for its realism on how it is to be an outsider.
Vincent Price, the inventor, holding the heart shaped cookie over Edward when he was just a chopping machine, was the Eureka moment when he saw the beginnings of life in him. He suddenly got the idea to make his own son then.
This is a movie that can be called magical. Sort of like those disney movies. This is a fairy tale. Fantastic and beautiful in every way mixed in a feeling of sadness. A wonderful and unique movie. :)
The reason Edward had such a harsh reaction to the "lemonade" is because that wasn't lemonade, it was hard whiskey XD he couldn't handle the burning sensation whiskey has
Tim Burton's masterpiece - it's a pure love letter to all creatives, storytellers and artists who like Edward all have creativity, imagination and big hearts and yet so often for all sorts of reasons they do not fit the mold of society.... it's a story about how society cherishes their creativity but also disposes of it and the person when they no longer want it... how storytellers and artists are most often not quite understood as people but provide so much beauty and joy to a world that scorns or mocks them. The ending is perfectly happy/tragic... it shows the truth of the creative person in the sheer power and beauty they give to the world - with Edward giving the town snow - but the reality of all the time spent alone he has making it and how he's been pushed away by them, and yet the inspiring power in the story in that he still gives that beauty regardless. No matter how cruel the world is, this story is the perfect example of how we all have to shine our light no matter what... This is a film that has such personal meaning to so many for all these reasons, I'm so happy to see you enjoyed. Great reaction!
Hell yeah, this is so nostalgic! This is my first fav Tim Burton film when I was a kid. Also, don't be sorry if you delayed any video cause you are spending time with your family and friend! People need some free time too. I also hope your ears will get better soon!
really a beautiful movie, with a ton of messages to read from the way the town reacted throughout. I always notice how multiple people in town mentioned finding a doctor to help him with his hands, but we never actually see any of them making the effort. It's words that make them seem friendly without any actual effort behind them. They all enjoyed him when they thought he could give something to them, but the moment he appeared a threat to their own sense of decency the town turned just like that. Definitely going to have to watch this movie again soon in full! edit: Just remembered also that one older neighbor who, at the barbeque, told Edward to not let anyone ever call him handicapped, and then later he's asking the little brother if they'd caught the "cripple" yet. Just a sharp and really well done twist overall.
Now, if I'm not mistaken, Johnny Depp threw up at least once during filming. Yeah, that backyard barbecue scene was apparently no joke. It was incredibly hot, and all of those different kinds of food being shoved into his mouth couldn't have helped.
Vincent Price as the Inventor gets the perfect finale to his career and life (as this was his final role). Burton was a big fan of Price and became friends when Price narrated his animated short VINCENT. They remained friends until Price's passing (he was also nearly used as Santa Claus in NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, but sadly, his health wasn't well at the time)
I watched this in Drama -Director’s Class, and there’s a lot of symbolic things in this film, like how the shapes of the sculptures change, or what they’re made of, or the specific thing he creates, all based on Edward’s character arc; or how the color red was scarcely used in order to emphasize that it creates a feeling of danger, and when we first see Edward first draw blood, the color red becomes everywhere.
The dad in the family(who you recognized)is Alan Arkin! Jim WAS from the "Breakfast Club"! Went from the nerd to the jock! Your sheer rage and shock that Joyce lied about Edward is so amazing. The final shot of Edward carving the ice sculptures always makes me cry, but really, the story does show that it was okay. It was bittersweet, but Edward was happier on the hill than with the people, who were little more than fairweather friends who turned on him the second they thought anything was wrong with him, despite the fact he had innocence to him and a childlike mentality that shouldn't have made them blame him for the attempted break in.
I love how Anthony Michael Hall plays a bully on here after being typecast as a geek in his popular roles before this. Dude got buff since Breakfast Club.
Wish I could thumbs this up 100x. This is such a wholesome film, and you are the most wholesome reactor I subscribe to. Your videos touch my heart every single time.
@@longfootbuddy nah, this movie is only dark because of the attack from her boyfriend, not the only man who truly loved him for everything he is, his father. The original story never called for anything like that.
@@judeless77 he was accident prone with those blades, my friend.. the very scene he drug them across his fathers face.. who did he not accidentally cut in this movie?
@@judeless77 the theory they initially wrote that Edward accidentally stabbed his father was actually hinted at when Kim asked Edward to hold her, and he said "I can't" clearly fearful of hugging. (Which was also when his flashbacks started.) His father may have died from a heart attack in the final cut, but that idea was definitely considered.
Glad that you loved it. To me that ending is one of the saddest of all time. It was almost better he hadn’t come down from the castle. That he found out what it was like to have people to care about in your life and then have it all ripped away and go back to a life of loneliness crushes me every time I watch this.
The first time I saw it, I was 9 years old and it was with my class for our english class. I was scared after bu now I understand how poetic and dramatic it is. In France, the title is " Edward Silverhands ". When the inventor died, his expression can be interpreted like the fear to let Edward unfinished.
So often I'll see the latest film you've reacted to and thought 'GAHH these patreon patrons are being ruthless with the sad movies!' lol. This movie never fails to make me cry, and the score is really so beautiful, one of the best I've ever heard. I always chuckle at Peg trying to put makeup on Edward because I've had those moments trying to match someone's complexion to a foundation color. "Darn this stuff!"
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! it's such a classic and has so many great moments. an innocent bean reacting to a movie about an innocent bean haha ♥ I hope your ear infection gets better Nick!
Loved this reaction, such a great and iconic movie! I am so excited to see your reactions to The Grinch and Ratatouille too! Just wanted to let you know that you are my favorite reaction channel and your videos always manage to brighten my day! Hope you're having a good one! :)
Edwards creator wanted the hands to be a Christmas present for Edward but he probably knew he was going to die soon so he gave them to him early. Unfortunately it wasn't given to him in time to install them before he passed away. But the look you see on Vincent prices face was actually real he did have a stroke during that scene from what i heard
The closer You watch it to Christmas, the better it gets, the same with other movies like Charlie and Chocolate Factory and Polar Express :D This is one of my favourite movies and watching it with You is making me feel like I was watching it for the first time
Good instincts, totally the kid from Breakfast Club! He usually played the nerdy kid so it was so crazy to see him more grown and casted as the jock asshole instead!
I love this movie! Most of this movie was filmed in my town of Lakeland Florida. The Southgate mall where he sees Kim with her boyfriend is still here looking almost the same.
i LOVE this movie and i think johnny made an excellent job in here, especially because he had very few sentences to say even if he was the main character but i think he expressed everything with his facial expressions! + he and winona were so cute together 😭 i’m glad they still very close as friends!!
Woohoo! A movie I've seen. Anyways, you gotta warm some olive oil, not too hot, put it on a cotton ball and stick it in your ear. It makes it feel better at least. Make sure you're wiping your ear buds with alcohol, again on a cotton ball, to clean the germs so you don't put infection back in your ear as you heal either. You'll also need to either eat yogurt or take probiotics to counter the antibiotics affect on your tummy. 👩🏼⚕️ The old man, Edward's dad/maker, is played by Vincent Price. He was the biggest icon of classic horror films. I loved him. He was Tim Burton's idol. This was his last movie. If you've heard Michael Jackson's song "Thriller", he did the talking part. The other old guy is Alan Arkin. He's a hoot. Dianne Wiest has been in a ton of great movies. The two of them are Oscar winning actors. Johnny's only been nominated. And yes Anthony Michael Hall is from the John Hughes movies including The Breakfast Club.
I just have to say, I love your reactions. You have the sweetest reaction to everything I feel like you are Edward , so sweet and kind. This reaction is my favorite. I think you relate to Edward
I recall reading somewhere that one goal of the film was to create a fairy tale kind of feel to it. That's one of the reasons for the pastel colored houses, cars, and haunting sound track. This is one of those movies I forget about until it pops up on cable. Depp is perfect as the "almost" real boy.
4:44 9:38 34:38 Danny Elfman has made many enchanting music in movies, but maybe in this film it's the most fantastic. 10:52 And you need to remember that is like Johnny's first main role in a movie. He is just staring his career. 15:20 "He is so handy." :) :( 16:43 It is sadder when they first like you, and then hate you. 26:59 27:22 Kathy Baker looks hot. 31:31 "Because you asked me to." :( I wish you would have more to say of how you thought or feeled about this more than 60 seconds.
One of the best movies of all time. I looooove Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. I know Edward doesn't have autism, but his behaviour with having to learn social cues manually still hit close to home.
The score in this movie is like having another character. It has a life of its very own, truly other worldly. This is in my top 3 favourite movies of all time (#1 The Wizard of Oz & #3 Beetlejuice), so I've seen it a LOT! And still, every time I hear the score, it makes me want to cry and really tugs at my heartstrings.
well.. talk about having terrible neighbors.. But now for real, that is one of the most beautiful and most devastating stories to be ever told This take on the Frankenstein tale turned into this modern fairy tale - just beautiful. It really shows how terrible society is. It’s so disgusting how it’s always the most innocent and pure hearted souls to get abused and taken advantage of until they end up being used enough or don’t want to play that part anymore so they get turned into the villain and end up being thrown out, or maybe „cancelled“ as a better term, by society. It’s heartbreaking really. Every single aspect. I literally cannot watch that movie without crying my eyes out because of how tragic the story is. Probably the most tragic aspect is how the other people are dying one by one as the years go by and maybe at one point Edward’s story is also going to die with them meanwhile Edward is forced to live forever and ever in isolation.. alone just with his memories, unable to reconnect with people but also unable to die.. I just cannot- ♥️ Anyways thanks for reacting to this masterpiece!! There are definitely too little reactions out there for this movie
This movie was released at Christmas time. Loved it so much. A show I always associated with Christmas is Oliver. Probably because my kids performed in the musical at The Dickens Festival every year. A movie you would really like is August Rush which is loosely based on Oliver. It also has Robin Williams and Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) in it.
When the inventor lifted the heart cookie up to the robot it was saying that the inventor was thinking of creating something with a heart. Like a robot with a heart which is Edward. And he didn’t stab the inventor he just had a heart attack and that’s why he never got to finish Edward and give him his hands.
