"Edward Scissorhands" and "La haine"

First of all I want to thank our teacher of Film studies Caroline. She shows us corking films! If
she wouldn't show us them, I won't never guess to watch them. So, I'm very thankful to her.


I watched "Edward Scissorhands" a couple of days ago, we did analyze work of one episode. Every shot of this "sad fairytale" is just amazing. In my opinion, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp is one of the most charismatic tandem of our days. I was quite interested in film, so I came home and watched it. The movie really "touched" me. And I opened Johnny Depp. Seriously. I didn't even realized how gifted he is. Of course, I knew that he's talanted, but never paid attention.


There're a lot of different thoughts were coming to my mind, but the main was how people hate when somebody excels from the society. During all film the character of Johnny Depp was called disabled, but they were using the virtuosity oh his scissorhands... And Winona Ryder is awesome playing her role. By the way, Johnny Depp used only 196 words during the film, but his eyes expressed everything: pain, love, courage, kindness, embarassment and etc.



So, if you have free time - it's really worth to watch it

And another film we watched today is "La haine"( Hate). It's really violent, in black-white colours. But it's true-to-life. Paris from another side, without love in the air, tourists and etc. Instead of it there are international poor marginal society, skinheads, hate, poverty and... frienship... The agression shown in this film predicted the events of future 1o years in France.





I was surpried when I knew that the director of this film is Mathieu Kassovitz. For me he was at first as Nino Quincampoix in "Amelie". So opposite genre. But the fact, Kassovitz won Cannes festival for "La haine". He was 27 years old. And I think the director chose black-write colours for purpose. I think he wanted to give us impression of "daily grey routine" of this people.


Three persons. Different nationalities. But one friendship. The end was quite shocking for me. And it's up to you. You decide the end. The slogan of film is " Three young friends... One last chance..."
