I love how NC has evolved. Back in 2010, my 18 year old self thought him yelling all the time was the funniest thing in the world, but he knew he couldn't just do that for the rest of his career. Now I love his thoughtful reviews, with the occasional screaming meltdown that made him famous. *edit* As someone mentioned, he didn't just "yell all the time," and he did give insightful reviews. But his meltdowns were what I was waiting for. At the time, I thought it was hilarious. I still do think it's pretty funny, when I watch his old reviews, but like I said, I love how he's evolved.

I loved this movie because this was Vincent Price’s final film role (BIG fan of his). This felt like the right film to bow out on. Fun fact: they had Price’s daughter in the film as a news woman. And “Nightmare Before Christmas” ALMOST became his last film; Burton managed to get Price out of retirement to play Santa Claus. He managed to do a recording, but Price’s health was taking a bad toll and even Henry Selick felt that iconic voice was a shell of its former self and never used. Sadly, some time after “Nightmare Before Christmas”, Price passed away. The recording is said to be lost, but there are people who believe Burton has it. If it’s true, I hope he releases it at some point.

A Writing Fact: Tim Burton wrote Winona Ryder's character as a popular cheerleader who is pretty much the antithesis of Ms. Ryder. In 'Burton on Burton', the director laughs about how unusual it was to see Ryder in the girly outfit. "It was so funny," Burton recalls. "I used to laugh every day when I saw her walk on the set wearing this little cheerleader outfit and a Hayley Mills-type blonde wig. She looked like Bambi."

As a reformed punk/goth kid Edward Scissorhands is always a go to film to during the holidays. My only critique is the point at 13:49 about the point that the neighborhood turns on Edward. I personally think that is great choice because as you said it’s not what you expect the turning point to be since you have all of these scenes before hand, that would be the more obvious places to put it, it constantly keeps you on your toes while watching the film since you don’t want something bad to happen to Edward. in terms for it not being relatable if you look at the film through the lens that many reviewers do as it being an allegory for people with disabilities and how they’re often treated, it tends to make a lot more sense. it’s not an uncommon story to hear within the disability community, particularly the autism community, (Burton has said in past interviews that he believes he has autism so it wouldn’t be a far-fetched to say It may have influenced the film) of falling into the wrong crowd, and doing things that get you in trouble because have spent your whole life being so isolated that you wanna fit in so bad that you miss a lot of red flags that most people would easily see. put that on top of the immense trust and loyalty, we give to people that we believe to be our friends it often makes us easy, pray and an easy Patsy these situations.

When it was coming around the time that I felt my daughter was old enough to see this film, I was listening to this soundtrack, and the ice dance cue was moving me to tears. I started to remember the first time I saw this film and how Elfman's incredible music moved me to tears. I was probably a few years younger than my daughter when I first saw it (like 5 or 6; my parents didn't really worry, too much, about content back then). While my daughter didn't react the same way I did, she still loves the film. However, I still get incredibly uncomfortable watching the storage room scene, and my daughter always asks for us to skip it. I tried my best to prepare her for it, because I sure was not prepared when I first saw it; I didn't even know what seduction was when I was 5, no reason why I should.

Honestly one of my favorite things about this movie that I'm genuinely surprised NC didn't bring up is Edward's dialouge with other characters or rather lack of dialouge. One of the reasons i think this movie and this character is so well remembered and loved is how much emotion Johnny Depp pulls off with very little words to work with. Like him and Kim don't have THAT many scenes together talking and yet you completely buy the fact that he's falling in love with her just by the emotions on his face. Same for when he gets angry. When he starts to snap he doesn't say anything or yell or scream but as NC said he takes it out on the hedges and his clothes. The way that i describe this movie best to people that haven't seen it is "it's like Frankenstein meets Beauty and the Beast." Everyone sees the comparison to Frankenstein in how the town accepts him just to hate him later on but i feel like the love story really is similar to that of Beauty and the Beast. The first time she sees him she's scared of him and runs away and even he's kinda nervous of her as well but over time they grow a inexplainable bond with one another. Hell you could even argue that Jim is Gaston cause he is the tough guy that gets the girl of his dreams. It really does fit. Just my two cents though

Yeah, this movie resonates well, especially if you’re someone that’s been through similar circumstances. To me, Edward’s journey symbolizes the journey of most “gifted” kids as they grow older. When you have something you stand out on, be it sports, art, scholastics or whatever, people flock to you and adore you and put you in this big pedestal. But when you grow old and showcase that you, indeed, are not perfect and can make mistakes, suddenly people turn against you. Suddenly you’re not this perfect little angel that they wanted you to be, and you start to lose favor with others. As soon as you no longer fit the mold and expectations that other people had of you, it’s like you’re worthless and invisible, and all of your faults are magnified tenfold. It sucks big time.

With his dark films I have a tendency to think of Burton as this cool, edgy auteur maverick, but the more I read into the productions of his films the more I learn just how sensitive and emotional of a person this artist really is. Jon Peters straight up made him cry on the set of Batman. The more I learn about Burton, the more I realize just how much Edward represents him, and not just in a typical "Oh I see myself in all my characters" way.

Easily my favorite part of the movie is killing the bully. You've just watched an entire movie showing the back breaking lengths this character goes to not hurt anyone, the whole performance oozes that uncomfortable tension of being a hairs width away from harming someone. Even when the town turns against him, he'd rather run away. Then when someone pushes too hard it's just one unceremonious poke and that's the end of him. It's like you were waiting for a massive loud sound sting and extreme reactions to sell how scary this was with cutting hair, but it's such a blandly shot and undersold moment that it really emphasizes the fragility of life and why Edward can't live with normal people.

Another Fun Fact: Caroline Thompson based Edward on her border collie mix she had when she was in college. "When I was 18, I took this dog to college with me, and she had a presence and a character. I swear to God if she had a larynx, she would've talked. I mean, she was that involved in my success. She was everywhere I was, sitting next to me and enjoying everything I was enjoying, but not able to quite do it because she was a dog. And that's how Edward is. He's just sort of like, 'Uhhh, OK I want to be here, but how?'"

Another Wild Fact: Tim Burton mentions there were two things that caused Johnny Depp to "throw up" while filming. The first was all the food he had to stuff into his face during the cook-out scene. The other was a scene later when he's running down the street away from the police. Depp had to film the shot of him running the length of the road six times, the last of which caused him to run into the trees and purge. "I think only two," says Burton. "I'm only aware of two."

That’s surprising considering he almost never used anybody other than Danny Elfman to score anything since Pee-Wee. How would he be so sure Robert would even do a good job? Then again Danny thought he was crazy even to hire him at first, it only worked out because Danny just so happened to have taught himself how to write music before he started the band that Tim was a fan of although he hadn’t put a note down on paper for years. For the Batman movie the producers wanted Prince to score it hence why Danny Elfman left the project but he didn’t know how to do a real movie score so they brought Danny back and released the Prince album as a separate “soundtrack”.

@@AluminumFusion22 She was charged with defamation since that's technically what the trial was about, he didn't try to take her to trial for spousal abuse after that, I think he was just exhausted and wanted to move on with his life. That's what I meant by criminally charged, the defamation case was a civil case, not a criminal one. She was supposed to pay him 13 million dollars but later on they settled on her paying him 1 million which I believe she did and he ended up pledging the money to charity. I think Johnny is happy with how things turned out but personally I think it's really unfair how he was dropped from the Fantanstic Beasts franchise because of her abuse allegations and even with everything the trial revealed SHE did to HIM she's still working in Hollywood. Warner Bros is the studio that makes the Harry Potter movies and they are also making the upcoming Aquaman 2 where Amber continues to play one of the lead roles from Aquaman 1, so the same studio who kicked him out because of her allegations *chose* to maintain his abuser in their movie after her crimes were revealed, that's why I'm not giving Aquaman 2 any support in cinemas, I mean no shame to anyone who wants to go watch it but my personal sense of justice has been really hurt by how the studios and mainstream media dealt with that whole situation, I'll just watch it at home later.

Another Fun Fact: The idea for the movie was inspired by a drawing Tim Burton had done when he was a teenager. The drawing depicted a thin, solemn man with long, sharp blades for fingers. "Since I liked to draw since I was younger, oftentimes images would come up, and they'd stay with you, and you'd keep drawing them. This was a character I sketched a while back," he says. He explains the character represented him as he was in his teenage years and how the film represents much of his time growing up. He likened growing up in Suburbia to a Frankenstein movie with the suburbanites acting as the angry villagers. Burton also stated that he was often alone and had trouble retaining friendships. "I get the feeling people just got this urge to want to leave me alone for some reason, I don't know exactly why."

A Love Fact: In an interview with People, Johnny Depp professed his feelings for Winona Ryder. He said, "There's been nothing in my 27 years that's comparable to the feeling I have with Winona." Depp famously confirmed his sentiment by having the words "Winona Forever" tattooed on his right biceps. Ryder responded to his tattoo in a 1991 interview with Rolling Stone. "I sort of was in shock," she confessed. "I kept thinking it was going to wash off or something. I couldn't believe it was real. I mean, it's a big thing because it's so permanent!" "It ain't goin' nowhere," said Depp. Unfortunately, it did end up going somewhere, because Depp reworded the tattoo following their split. Instead of saying "Winona Forever" he famously changed it to say "Wino Forever." also Pressure from the media was what eventually caused Johnny Depp's split from Winona Ryder. At least, according to Depp, this was the reason for their break up. He tells Los Angeles Times, "It's very hard to have a personal life in this town. My relationship with Winona, it was my mistake to be as open as we were. But I thought if we were honest it would destroy that curiosity monster. Instead, it fed it, gave people license to feel they were part of it." and Johnny Depp revealed it was "love at first sight" when he first met Winona Ryder. In Rolling Stone, he describes the moment when they first locked eyes. "At the première of Great Balls of Fire! (1989), a film in which she played Jerry Lee Lewis's child bride, they spotted each other from across the lobby. 'I was getting a Coke,' Winona Ryder said. 'It was a classic glance,' he said, 'like the zoom lenses in West Side Story (1961), and everything else gets foggy.'
