To start, my favorite winter season movie is Edward Scissorhands. I put this movie in the winter season catalogue because it involves Christmas in it later in the movie and starts off in a winter setting. I love Edward Scissorhands, and I have loved it since I watched it for the first time in the first grade. This movie is so brilliantly made with a great look on how a neighborhood would be in the late 80s or early 90s in a suburban community. I feel that mob mentality was depicted well. It shows how people may be okay with something different from what they’re used to until the moment comes where a mistake is made by the thing that is different, or in this case, the person that is different.
I haven’t watched Edward Scissorhands in four or five years. This is because winter time is always a difficult time of the year and that movie makes me cry so much after watching, every single time without fail. At a certain point in my life I decided to stop watching movies that make me sob uncontrollably because I don’t like that feeling- I really don’t like to cry. I haven’t watched movies like Up or Bambi in years for the same reason. This year I feel as though I should turn myself around and start watching these movies again because they are movies that I love, and Edward Scissorhands is one of my all-time favorites. Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder did an excellent job with their characters, and I should not hold myself back from witnessing their acting in that movie again.
Due to the amount of time it has been since I watched Edward Scissorhands, I can now watch it with a new perspective on life. There is a lot that I’m sure I don’t remember from the movie and that will be fun to see. There may also be aspects of the movie that I’m remembering with a different lens than what I would now, as I was in either freshman or sophomore year of high school when I last watched. I can say with certainty that I am looking forward to seeing Edward Scissorhands again.
