Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Xmas. What are some of your traditons in Belgium/ Netherlands that you practicec Marij
You too Mary.
Prettige feesten! "Doortje" : ))))
Merry Christmas!
Feliz Navidad! 🎄 ⭐😊🎇
I've always thought that Edwards's approach to hairdressing made everyone look like adorable Dr. Seuss characters 🖤
The cast of this film is practically a "who's who" of horror. The Avon lady was the mom in The Lost Boys, Winona Ryder was Mina Murray in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Johnny Depp was Glen in Nightmare On Elm Street, and Edward's creator was legendary horror icon, Vincent Price, whose filmography is far too extensive for me to list here.
And the blonde-haired reporter is Vincent Price's daughter.
and Alan Arkin, the father, was pretty terrifying as the home invader in Wait Until Dark.
R.I.P. Vincent, one of if not the most famous horror icon ever. Him on the Muppet show was the highlight of my childhood (along with Welcome to my Nightmare by Alice Cooper).
@@tekkris I totally remember that. That was such a great show. The Vincent Price appearance was so perfect. My all-time favorite, though, is watching Harry Belafonte lose it while trying not to laugh singing the Banana Boat Song. That show was excellent; an all-time favorite; thanks for the memories!!
Tim Burton is pretty much the master of making awkward creepiness endearing.
Yes but also we creeps are people too, we’re just misunderstood
Even the town itself with all the pastel colors was unnerving in this
Marij, you have to understand that Tim Burton's ideology is to flip things on its head. Burton thinks that pretty people are often the most monstrous and full of cruel intentions. And the ugly people have good morals and deeply caring. It takes time to see the inner beauty of the disfigured. While the beautiful people are adept at hiding their malicious intentions. This plays out from his growing up in the suburbs of Los Angeles. A prime example is the nosey neighbor. They are always invading your privacy under the guise of keeping the neighborhood safe.
That's.....deep, man.
There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why you love the music in this movie so much:
Danny Elfman is a frickin' genius.
The legendary Vincent Price was supposed to have a larger role in the film, but couldn't due ti ill health. This was one of his last films RIP.
Thank you for your kind words at the beginning of the video. I’m one of the people that struggles through the holidays. But your videos always make me smile.
This movie made the two leads "heartthrobs" for many young people when it came out.
Some of my favorite reactions from you are the ones where you "don't know what to expect", and when you assume it's one thing based on the cover or something, and by the end it's the completel opposite. You went from scary, to sentimental crying. Love it!
Edward's scissor hands were created by the master Stan Winston, who also had the idea of real scissors instead of fingers. Tim Burton's original drawings showed just long pieces of metal or glass. Stan Winston got the idea from a set of pruning shears
Saw this multiple times as a kid in the theater. It was the first movie that hit me on an existential level though I wasn’t able to articulate it at the time.
I saw this in theatres when I was 9 or 10 and absolutely loved it. It left me feeling happy and heartbroken at the same time and music is haunting yet comforting ❤️
The ice sculpture scene is the one of the most iconic part in this film.🤩☃️
The "Ice Dance" theme music haunts my heart. The most beautiful piece ever written. Danny Elfman is a genius.
Such a great film on so many levels. In a lot of ways, this is an inversion of Beauty and the Beast.
Edward is Belle of this world. Although his physical appearance is odd and unnatural he has a heart for beauty and wants to create it. Kim is beautiful on the outside but selfish and only learns empathy and compassion through Edward. Jim is just flat out Gaston and suffers the same fate. Even the Castle is run down but Edward makes creative art while the town is cookie cutter copies and shallow in it's aesthetic.
I think it's a beautiful film that teaches empathy and compassion in an unlikely presentation.
this film most embodies what makes Burton's films so awkwardly charming. mixing together creepy anesthetics and heart filled story telling.
I'm a bit surprised at how your acknowledgment of those who don't find the holidays such a happy time affected me. It's like, this adorable woman on the other side of the world whom I've never met understands.
Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish are Tim Burton's perfect examples of his magical realism, the way how a fantasy element or person seeps through or flat out invades a mundane environment and its consequences. But in Edward's case, you can see how personal it is for Burton, he made him basically his alter ego, even physically. Add to that Danny Elfman's heartbreaking score and you got yourself a true masterpiece.
Fun Fact: The neighborhood in "Edward Scissorhands" is an actual place; Lutz, Florida. They painted the houses pastel for the film shoot. There is no "hill/mountain" at the end of the street (or anywhere in Florida); the castle hill was added in at post-production. You CAN visit that neighborhood; it's still there.
By the way, it pretty much NEVER snows in Florida. The exceedingly rare occasions when it has, and the even rarer times it accumulates, it doesn't last the day. The farther south in Florida you go, the less likely you will EVER see snow. The southern half never has.
This film was, as most horror/sci-fi happens to be, social commentary. This film is set in the innocent 1960s, when few women worked and neighborhoods like these were 'bedroom communities' where husbands commuted from in the mornings to work and returned to in the evening to eat dinner and rest for the next day. Wives had to find ways to amuse themselves, which included gardening, shopping, housekeeping, raising kids, weekend cookouts, holiday parties, card games, and gossiping.
Avon was a casual business that grew to prominence during this time, allowing women to make a little spending money selling to neighbors and (for women working in offices) co-workers. Avon bottles became a collector's item (and still are).
What I find interesting is that Edward can be seen as a kind of 'angel', who was brought down to earth, faced the corruption of the earth, found he wasn't able to live in that toxic, suspicious, selfish world, and returned to his 'heaven'. Along with the 'angelic' soundtrack, the moment when Edward folds his arms around the girl, it's almost like how a bird or an angel would wrap wings around the person, the scissor blades resembling feathers. Edward is an innocent, incapable of a selfish thought, even in love and even in misery or conflict. Those people didn't deserve him.
This is Vincent Prise's last performance .
He was a great actor too.
So glad you enjoyed it, you nailed it: it’s beautiful. So many reactors would over analyse, demand to know *why* he has scissors for hands but the secret is just to accept that he has and enjoy the story,. The cinematography, set design, the colour palette and the soundtrack, oh god the soundtrack. ❤️ It’s a modern day fairytale and should just be enjoyed as such which you clearly did. Happy holidays !
Tim Burton has made several "fairy tale" kind of films, but this is most successful imo. It is endearing, funny, sweet, and dark in just the right amount. Depp and Rider along with the rest of the cast do a really good job, but Depp's expressive face goes a long way to sell the character. I think some of Burton's, and Depp's, later films only capture parts of what makes this film so appealing and are good or bad because of that, but this one is pretty great on it's own.
Great reaction to one of my favorite movies, Johnny’s performance is so good. It’s a classic modern fairy tale.
Also, yes, it is very common for 16 year olds to get cars, especially in the suburban areas. However, for many families, these are crappy used cars, the kids often have to make payments themselves, and the reason for the cars are often to drive other siblings around, and/or so that they can get jobs (it is pretty normal for 16 year olds to have jobs after school and during the summer).
It isn't all rich dads buying their football player sons and cheerleader daughters cars to play around with, that is very much a myth from another age.
Let me tell you, this movie it was always re-run during the holidays. Every time Christmas time come around they will play this on TV. And my little sister would cry every time. Every time.
For me, this is the best Burton movie, it has all the elements that he’s best at, and you can feel that this is a very personal movie of him. Merry Christmas 🎄
Ahhhhh..
Vincent Price.
A great actor.
And such a wonderful voice.
This is one of my all-time favorites and it destroys me emotionally every time I watch it. Thanks for your lovely reaction, Mary!
"Was a lot of color like this ever really in style?"
Yes, it was called "the 80’s."
I personally got a late 70's vib from it, the solid pastel colors, clothing and furniture, the odd thing is the 80's werent really that colorful in comparison, you had the 70's then the 80's then the 90's. The 90's were kinda like the 70's color wise only cranked up a few notchs (especially the first half of the 90's were a little TOO colorful, although mainly only in clothing).
I saw an interview with Burton about the making of this film and he said he was going for a 60's vibe
Winona Ryder played both the frightened daughter and the old lady telling the tale, when she was 18 or 19!
This movie really wrecked me when I first saw it. I'm not an orphan nor was I born disfigured, but somehow the themes struck home, and hard. Maybe that's just something about the human condition... that we all feel alone and incomplete.
I love that scene where Edward and the Dad sneak that drink in the basement. That glance towards the stairs as he grabs and pours the bottle just kills me!!
I visited the Tim Burton art exhibit in 2011 at LACMA. My jaw is still on the floor from his sketchbooks and the story ideas that he created but never came to life. He has developed so many different creatures and characters that his level of creativity is simply unprecedented to me. I am glad to live in an age when I could see him rise from nothing to become one of the great directors in film and animation.
Thanks for reacting to this! I watched this so many times as a kid on HBO so I have very deep and nostalgic feelings about it. It is definitely my favorite J. Depp and Tim Burton movie
Funny thing is Tim Burton worked at the first paid apprenticeship program at Disney's animation with John Lasseter (Toy Story) and Pixar founding member. Brad Bird of Iron Giant, Incredibles, and Ratatouille fame. To think all these legends worked together at Disney making traditional animation in the hopes of one day developing inventive and ground breaking animation styles and technologies that would forever change movies and television the same way Walt Disney did in the '1910s.
If you like the magic and wholesomeness of this movie.. you should put the movie "Big Fish" on your list.
Big fish is so underrated!
Totally agree with this
Glad you enjoyed this movie. No Matter how many times I see a reaction to this film it gets me all emotional 😭
If you love wholesome Christmas movies, don't forget "Bad Santa".
Fun fact: The neighborhood in the film is an actual place in Florida. They re-painted all the houses there to the pastels you see in the film. It's still there tho normal looking now.
Clothes like these, with as much color as in the movie, were all the rage in the 70s - though the suburban styling in the movie points to the 50s... In any case, 60s-70s-and even 80s had much more colored clothes than today
"what a nice neighborhood or something like that.." I love that you called out there premise of the movie within 30 seconds of watching the movie 🤣🤣
Kids getting cars in American is a necessity for many not a luxury. The scale of the country and our communities compounded with the lack of public transportation in most suburbs and rural areas make it the only option.
I saw this in theatres as a kid with my mom and absolutely loved it and still do. I love the music in it too.
The score by Danny Elfman is a thing of absolute beauty. I'll never get tired of listening to "Ice Dance".
"I'm so confused by how flat this is" - welcome to the American midwest. Edit - ah I guess they filmed in Florida - which makes sense too. But when I moved to the midwest I had underestimated how flat it'd be.
The house I grew up in had a little room you would first enter when you entered the house and it was called a vestibule. The house was in New York City (Brooklyn) and was built in 1900.
Great reaction, I'm sure someone has already commented on this but Johnny Depp (Edward) and Wynonna Rider (the love intrest) were actually a couple in real life for a few years and if my memory serves me correctly, they were dating during the filming of this movie...I think.
There really isn’t anything else quite like the vibe of Danny Elfman’s movie scores. They just have an amazingly magical quality to them.
Teenagers usually have cars in the US because other than in the largest cities we have almost no public transportation.
Casting Vincent Price was genius because he himself is both a horror icon and one of the sweetest guys there ever was.
You HAVE to do the Carlton dance when that particular Tom Jones song is playing.
In the courtroom or on the screen...what a boss. Tim had a genius period (Pee Wee's Big Adventure) and he and Johnny made magic.
Edward's inventor was played by legendary actor Vincent Price....you should react to some of his movies....The Tingler....Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine...House of Wax...House of Usher...Theater of Blood...House on Haunted Hill....The Song of Bernadette....The Abominable Dr. Phibes
This movie takes place around Christmas time but it’s not actually a Christmas movie.
I'm always excited to say that my girlfriend was the girl climbing out of the van with Winona and AMH with 2 lines of dialogue. And yes, I really enjoyed this reaction. 💕
Marij, you need to watch as much Tim burton movies as you can. "Nightmare Before Christmas", Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride, Alice in Wonderland, Todd Sweeney, Frankenweenie. His brilliance is second to none.
@@Itwasalwaysme_Noone I love Batman but it's not as eclectic as the others I listed.
Todd Sweeney? Lol what? Getting things a little backwards there. But yes she should definitely watch Sweeney Todd!
How dare you forget "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" :)))
Big Fish?? Mars Attacks??
Sleepy Hollow as well!
In a lot of America, towns are spread out, and some places have no public transportation. Getting a car is a requirement. I got my first car for $24. My dad and i fixed it up
This movie did the same to me, it was very warm and heartfelt and I do consider this to be a Christmas movie despite it doesn't look that way, (same with Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd, great movie by the way). Tim Burton was a strange man and hated the suburban life he grew up with in California. That's why he had all those Florida houses painted mostly with one color to reflect the boredom of that life where everyone did pretty much the same thing and lived the same way. The father figure in the family was very cold and distant emotionally because that was how Tim Burton felt about his own father when you read the unauthorized life story of Tim Burton.
Your reaction to this film was worth a million dollars! Edward's story closely parallels mine though short of scissors as hands!
I live near Chicago, and yes it is flat earth here. Nothing but horizon in every direction. I actually feel a little trapped in when I am in the mountains.
Funny. Most of my life I've lived near hills or mountains, so when I'm somewhere that's just lots of flat, flat, flat, I feel too exposed!
a tim burton movie thats looked over a lot is big fish. And its a beautiful amazing story
I've actually been to the shopping center in Lakeland, Florida where they filmed the beauty salon scene. It's not too far from where I live, and looks pretty much the same, now, as it did back then.
You should also check out Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. It's more horror, but also has a fairy tale quality to it, and also stars Johnny Depp.
Bought my first car at 15. No help from Mom and Dad though, unless you consider Dad letting me work for him during the summers from the time I was 12. $1500, '67 Camaro, in 1981. At that time, where I lived, a car was freedom.
So the song that plays when Kim is dancing while Edward is making the ice sculpture is befittingly titled Ice Dance and I taught myself how to play it on piano! ☺️ I haven't played piano in a few years because I either have carpal tunnel or arthritis. And I'm only 28! Sadface.. My hands and fingers hurt after just like 10 mins. It sucks.
I saw this on cable, & tried to share it with my dad. He refused to watch it because it was "a slasher film!" (He also refused to record the end credits of the TV series he was taping off the TV, then got upset because *every single episode* had the last 5 minutes chopped off by the start of the next! It even said in the instructions that the tape automatically backed up before recording! I never had the problem. *I* always recorded the end credits!!)
I finally just put this movie on. He finally saw it isn't "a slasher film"!
My dad could be obstinate, at times.
I loved your reaction ❤️😁 and yes here in America we get a learner's permit at 15 before we get a license at 16 and in my opinion the test is too easy and no one really learns the whole system.... Kind of makes it more dangerous over here LOL
It's crazy to think that the bully was the nerd in The Breakfast Club (and many other 80's movies).
Glad you enjoyed the movie so much. I really enjoyed watching it.
Merry Christmas Mari and everyone!
Mary's eyes are naked again! glad you're feeling well enough to show off those gorgeous orbs. Merry Mary Christmas!
So dunno if anyone told you. The screenwriter based Edward on her dog! Such a great time Burton film.
The movie had such a dark beautiful tone to it, as is a Tim Burton movie! Classic!
Thank you, Mary! ❄
I LOVE this movie. One of my all time favorites.
16:46 This is like Florida. When I lived there for school I didn't have a car so I biked everywhere and it was so much easier than home because it's all flat.
You should react to "whats eating Gilbert Grape" next🤞🏻😊
Eddie S. is legit in my top 10 favorite films list of all time. I am a full cinephile for I actually have a top 100 (I was challenged on Twitter and couldn't back down.) My top ten was actually pretty easy to sort out. 10. Pinnochio 9. The Best Years of Our Lives 8. To Kill A Mockingbird 7. Edward Scissorhands 6. E.T 5. Ghostbusters 4. Spirited Away 3. Cool Hand Luke 2. Schindlers List 1. Vertigo.
I don't celebrate Christmas, but may you and yours have a wonderful time!
The religious lady had a small part in the Truman Show. If you haven't seen the Truman Show, it's an absolute must. It's my favorite Jim Carrey movie.
Pastel colors was very popular mainly in the 1950s.
My first car I bought when I wasn’t even 16 years old yet had to wait to drive it. Very common in America. Funny how you mention the flatness. We drove out to Yellowstone and I live in Kentucky took three days. from the Mississippi river to the Rockies was nothing but flatness for a day and a half drive or more.
Nice xmassy choice! If you enjoyed this one, I also recommend checking out Cry Baby (1990), Hairspray (1988) and Little Shop of Horrors (1986).
If you're having a really hard time during winter, look into getting a sun lamp. It doesn't change difficult situations but it can help make it all a little bit better. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a really common problem this time of year
Nice sentiments about the holiday season
I just realized the mom was there at his castle in the beginning and it ended with Kim at the end 😢
Johnny Depp is a national treasure .
Beautiful reaction. Love this film.
I recommend you check out "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins"
Pretty Mary! Another classic! Let's get it!!!😎🍷🚬👀👍💕
It's a Burton masterpiece. I'm so glad you enjoyed so much!
A fond memory for me. I watched this actually eating pommes-frites when I was a NATO soldier in Bruxelles, and always think of Béarnaise sauce pommes frites when I watch this film...
SWEET FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION - TO EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (1990 ) FILM !!!!
Mary, you should totally watch more movies with Vincent Price. I believe House on Haunted Hill is public domain and there are a bunch of uploads of the full movie here on youtube.
You could totally do a stream in which you set it up with other people so you can watch it with your viewers. I'd watch it with you! :D
Why isn't anyone recommending movie lover Mary to Wes Anderson masterpieces?
Loved this movie and your reaction Mary 🔥
"There's a dead boy" 😆
I love this movie. I think this was the top of the curve of Burton Career.
My wife and I got to see this in the theater when it was first released. The same mix of emotions flowed then as Mary experiences them now. The genius of this movie in its comic-book-come-alive feel is that it was able to look at the blend of society with distillations of personality archetypes. The lesson i took away from this movie is that people will change the story in their mind so that they gravitate to be the hero of their story. "It's the easiest lie to tell. They will automatically believe any story they are the hero of."
I loved your reaction to this! You are one of the best YT reactors. So very charming!
If you enjoyed this Johnny Depp movie then you may also like Don Juan DeMarco. Edward Scissorhands is my favorite Johnny Depp movie. Johnny loves music and I feel this character is a cross between Robert Smith the Cure singer and Freddy from A Nightmare On Elm Street. It was his first movie. The Cure song I feel that inspired Edward is "A Chain of Flowers." It has that tragic loneliness Edwards embodies.
Lol. In America we call that style “Tim Burton” style. Seriously. 🙂
Mary, Thankyou for your opening comments, I’m a 40 year old single dad of amazing daughters and this Christmas , tho my year with them is going to be without them as much as I’ve fought it, it’s broken my heart and losing my mom to brain cancer this time last year it’s jsut been rough so I appreciate you acknowledging that it’s a hard time for alot Of people as well. Hope you have An amazing one and thanks for the great content! Merry Christmas
