Edward Norton, Disturbing Monster

This metaphorical terminology fits Edward with accurate precision as he has and shows more emotion than everyone else in the film as well as having emotions all

Usually a change occurs in the main Character of a Fantasy Film e, this could be in a good way or a bad way. In Edward scissor hands Edward is the main Character. He is lonely innocent person who lives in a big mansion. Edward has never had contact with humans so when Peg first sees Edward he is very frightened and decides to hide. Moreover the dialogues that Edward says when he first meets Peg is very desperate and scared however at the end of the movie Edward speaks louder and more confidently. During his stay with Peg he wore white clothes as he returned to the castle he cut off the white clothes leaving the black underneath. This shows a change in personality and figure as Edward becomes himself and doesn’t want to change for the people in the community. However during the course of the film Edward gets more and more comfortable with Humans. Even

In the novel Monster the main character is Steve and he is in court and jail for being accused of a murder and robbery. I believe that Steve is innocent in this particular case. The main reason why they are seeing Steve so differently is because he black. I agree with what Steve's defense attorney said which was “the jury already knew their opinion as soon as they saw him walk in.” They saw an African American troubled teen walk into the courtroom who looks like he knows something. In addition, in court they barely let Steve tell his side of the story. I think he had nothing to do with this robbery/murder. He seems like he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Steve says to O’brien “ aren’t you are innocent till proven guilty.” Surprisingly

In ‘Edward Scissorhands’, Edward goes through new experiences that show his individuality and how he is different to all the community. In the film, characters such as Joyce and Jim firstly rejected Edward as he was different, they then adored him as he did unique art such as hairdressing, gardening, grooming dogs, cutting meat and ice sculpting. Once Edward discovered his talents, he became very popular amongst the community. They used him so that they would have an easier life, but then when he did something wrong he was then rejected again. Being the individual Edward was in the community, he experienced so many new things such as his growing relationship with Kim. His new experiences with Kim made him learn what true feelings for a girl really was. As great as being and individual is with all this said however, being an individual can also be dangerous in a way, as you would get judged by others around you for being yourself. Edward in the beginning of the film had that exact problem, everyone would be judging him for having scissors as hands and would think of him as a scary monster. The reason Edward went to the community in the first place was because of Peg. Peg

The monster that Hannibal Lecter represents in today’s society are serial killers who are put in mental asylums. Hannibal Lecter is in many movies and tv shows that show what he went through throughout his life, including Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising. Throughout Hannibal Lecter's life he went through many traumas that caused him to become, in his future life, a serial killer. Serial killers are made by a severe event in their life, not born to be a serial killer. When you are born you have not chosen your path, you are made to go down the path depending on your past. From early in Dr. Hannibal Lecter’s life, it was clear that he was to become a monster..

The film Edward Scissorhands is a contemporary archetype of the gothic genre exploring themes such as unrequited love, social rejection and human creation as defined by Tim Burton. Feature films explore different ideals that can be categorized into different genres that create expectations among audiences about characters, settings, plots and themes. Edward Scisscorhands directed by Tim Burton in the year 1990 is described as both a dark romantic fantasy and a gothic horror film. The film tells a story about Edward Scissorhands, the creation of an elderly inventor who dies before he can give Edward his normal hands in place of his scissor hands. Edward is taken from the mansion he lives in by a suburban family in an attempt to live a

Edward’s differences are viewed negatively by society as he is encouraged to conform. By having scars visible on his face, Peg makes an effort to mask Edwards imperfections. She is unfamiliar with his fair complexion as everyone in the neighborhood has glowing smooth skin and therefore she urges to “help with the scars”. While Peg applies a concealing cream on Edwards face, she insinuates that “blending is the secret” which symbolizes how blending into society will help Edward conform. This suggests that Edwards flaws are not accepted and how society pressures to cover up your differences because uniformity is acknowledged. As the family warms up to Edward in their home, Bill suggests that Edward gets a job to earn money like everyone else in the community. He says that having a job is the “greatest satisfaction” a man can have. This insinuates that men are conformed to have a job and earn money for their family. Edward decides to make an effort and get a loan to start up his own business at the local bank which is painted white and black symbolizing the dull and homogenous life the society lives in. Edward is rejected by the bank authorities when he finds that Edward has no previous bank records and therefore “may as well not even exists.” This implies that by Edward not having a job, he is not welcome to exist in society as they are not willing to give others who are different a chance. As humanity negatively views Edwards differences, Burton displays how humans encourage outcast to conform to society.

Tim Burton, the director of Edward Scissorhands, draws inspiration for his work from fairytales and children’s stories. He has always had an affinity for the darker elements of these stories, which is made evident in the film Edward Scissorhands. The film’s main character is a man named Edward who has scissors for hands. Later, it is shown that he was a metal figure brought to life by his inventor, an elderly man who dies before he is able to give Edward human hands. Edward lives in a mansion on a hill on the edge of town, all alone, until a woman named Peg finds him and bring him to live with her family. Edward immediately develops an attraction to Peg’s daughter, Kim, though she has a boyfriend. Towards the end of the film, Kim tells Edward that she loves him, and Edward seems to be completed. However, Edward struggles to conform to society, and eventually is forced by the members of the community to return to his mansion, isolated from any human interaction. The film combines a make-believe character, as often found in children’s books, with elements of a horror film, like suspicion and violence. The film features several flashbacks throughout that elaborate on Edward’s past and show how he came to be. Burton uses these flashbacks to grow the audience’s understanding of Edward, explain events, and emphasize themes.

(2) Aileen never felt guilty toward her victims. In the movie, she mentioned that “people kill each and other everyday” for religion and politics, and “there are heroes”. She could not stop killing because she felt that she had to kill people who could rape her to avoid them to rape somebody else. If she had not been caught, she would kill more people. At the end of the movie, after she was convicted, she still considered that the judge sentenced “a right woman to death”.

This is an attempt to alter Edward to conform and become ‘normal’ by removing his source of individuality. The message ‘one should be out of the ordinary’ is demonstrated by this, which adds depth and more meaning to the film.

Just complete reading an interesting book Monster a non-fiction book by Walter Dean Myers. I enjoy reading this book very much it had so much drama, mystery of who really murdered Mr. Nesbitt instead of the main character Steve Harmon, showing experienced example of how when committing a crime killing someone as minor age going to jail and even having to be tried as minor to an adult I have never seen this happen before even though this book is not real. My favourite was when it got really series with some witness talking about the main character, things really changing to the story of the main character who could wound up in prison for a very long time. For my recommendation of the book to improve on is look at the book to be sure it make

Laurie Strode is the lead female character in Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis plays Laurie, the last girl standing after going face to face with masked killer Michael Meyers. Alice, played by Adrienne King, is our final girl in Friday the 13th. Laurie and Alice quite similar at first glance--virginal, but not-so-innocent, old fashioned American girls.

Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands film was nothing less than phenomenal from all perspectives. The moral is not to judge someone based off appearances or on the basis that they are different from you. This was all achieved by using cinematic elements such as lighting, sound, camera an-gles, and wardrobe. This film’s message really made the audience think and feel as if they were playing a role in the movie themselves.

In American Psycho I can honestly agree with Patrick Bateman being a villain in this film. He killed mostly all the women that he ever encountered not counting his secretary and fiancée. There was also Paul Allen who he killed as well as the homeless man and his dog, the policemen, the old woman at the atm, and the lobby man and night janitor towards the end of the movie. Even though he was going to kill his secretary but the phone saved her life. He kills people because he is a psycho, plain and simple. But he is also a psycho because of the way he plans on killing them and drawing it out in a journal. This makes the viewer wonder; did he actually kill these people? Or did he just imagine it all because he is that much of a psychotic person
