Chapter 491: Lonely Me
The story takes place in a small town.
On a hill outside the town, there is an ancient castle where an inventor lives.
The inventor made all sorts of things, and eventually created a robot, which he named Edward.
The inventor devoted all his heart and soul to this work, and he even taught Edward human manners and behavior, when to smile and when to be silent. However, before the robot could be completed, the inventor died, leaving Edward, who already had a human mind but a pair of scissor hands, to live alone in the castle.
That's where the story comes in.
.....
The playback hall is quiet, and the BGM of the movie is also very quiet, like a mournful violin.
On the screen, I don't know how many years have passed, Edward's lonely life has been broken.
A middle-aged woman breaks into the castle in order to sell cosmetics. To her surprise, the castle looked desolate and dilapidated from the outside, and only after entering did she realize that there was a world here.
In the courtyard of the castle, the plants were cut into various shapes, elk, dogs, and so on.
The audience also became interested and looked at these unique plants.
Han Qiu smiled faintly, he knew that Lin Hua had come up with these plants of different shapes, and invited a master-level professional gardener in the United States to cut these plants in person.
According to Lin Hua, people were reluctant to come, but later they agreed to his invitation because they were moved by the script.
In addition, Lin Hua also invited two ice sculpture masters, a styling master, a pet hairstyle master, and a top makeup master.
It can be said that in Lin Hua's crew, there are many masters.
In order to film, Lin Hua also worked hard.
.....
On the screen...
What surprised the middle-aged woman even more was that there was still a person living in the castle, a person who seemed to her to be "disabled".
This man was Edward.
When the middle-aged woman saw that Edward was pitiful, she felt pity and decided to take him home.
At this point, Edward, a simple-hearted robot, fell into the mortal world.
In Chinese mythology, fairies fall into the mortal world, and they will always have a shocking love with ordinary people. What is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Seven Fairies, Bai Suzhen, these are all these.
It's just that they all have one thing in common: they're all tragic.
The Cowherd and Weaver Girl were separated by the Milky Way, the Seven Fairies were captured back to Heaven by the Heavenly Gods, and Bai Suzhen was pressed under the Leifeng Tower.
These loves all started a happy beginning, but ended in tragedy.
.......
When Edward arrived in the town, he was initially met with strange eyes, and everyone rejected him.
A messy chicken nest head, pale cheeks covered with scars, and a pair of sharp scissor hands.
All of this makes people feel weird.
What kind of freak is this?
Faced with the strange stares of others, Edward, who has human feelings, feels inferior and lonely.
Except for the middle-aged woman who brought him back, no one cared about him. Including the family members of the middle-aged woman, they don't like this weird-looking "person".
The audience looked at Edward, who was cowering and careful in what he did, and there was some sympathy in their hearts.
If they could, who would want their hands not to be normal?
Later, Edward, who was becoming more and more lonely, went about his old ways, and began to prune the plants in the yard as he did in an ancient castle.
Thanks to his intense and skilled work, Edward's pruning work was so popular that more and more people asked him to prune in his yard.
Edward smiled happily when he saw that people no longer rejected him.
Although this smile is a bit unnatural and far-fetched, it makes the audience a little congested.
Later, by chance, Edward trimmed a dog's hair, and cut it beautifully.
At this moment, the people of the town were not calm, and they came to Edward for trimming with their pets.
A very dissolute woman saw that her dog was beautifully cut and offered to ask Edward to cut her hair.
Naturally, Edward, who was kind-hearted, would not refuse.
With this scissor, Edward really became famous. Countless people have asked him to style their hair, or to cut their pets. Later, Edward was invited to appear on television.
Some guests also suggested that Edward should open a beauty barber shop in the future.
Seeing this, the audience was also happy for Edward. was recognized by others, no one laughed at his scissor hands anymore, and he became a starlet. It seems that everything is moving in a good direction.
But just then, the daughter of the middle-aged woman who had brought Edward home returned to the town.
She was studying abroad and is only now returning home. And with her back, there is also her boyfriend.
The daughter is very beautiful, and the beauty makes the audience feel that something is going to happen at the first sight.
Sure enough, Edward fell in love with the girl at first sight.
He didn't say I love you, nor did he make an intimate gesture, but the audience felt Edward's love for the girl.
Maybe it's a constant sneaky gaze.
Maybe it's when you help someone prune a plant, you cut it into the shape of a heart.
Maybe it was the sad look he looked at when he watched the girl hug her boyfriend.
Or perhaps it was in the middle of a snowy winter day that he carved a statue of his daughter.
And it's a statue with wings outstretched, like an angel.
Seeing the girl dancing in the snow and under the sculptures, Edward smiled.
This time the smile was no longer far-fetched, this time the smile was natural, so natural that the scars on the face were full of smiles.
But the audience laughed sadly and bitterly.
This stupid boy, does he know what love is, does he know how to love someone?
Maybe not.
Maybe you don't need to understand either.
......
Later, the girl's boyfriend wants to buy a car, but because he has no money, he plans to steal it.
Ignoring the girl's dissuasion, he turned his mind to Edward, who needed his help. Because Edward's scissorhands can easily knock on any door.
Also because... As long as the girl said a word, Edward would do whatever he wanted.
This time, the girl chose her boyfriend.
However, while they were stealing, an accident occurred and the alarm device was triggered. In a panic, the boyfriend dragged the girl and ran away, and the girl wanted to come back to help Edward, but was ruthlessly dragged away by her boyfriend.
Edward didn't understand why they were fleeing, and he didn't even know he was stealing.
He came here only because the girl told him to come, so he came.
Later, when the girl asked Edward, "Why do you want to go?"
Edward looked directly at the girl and said calmly, "Because you told me to go." ”
The audience was even more congested when they saw this.
Hehe, just because you told me to go, I went.
Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, if you let me go, then I will go!
Perhaps, no matter where you are, where you are, it is heaven.....
........
This is where the film takes a turn.
The girl didn't like Edward at first because of his odd looks. But now, Edward began to slowly change in his heart, especially after Edward carved an ice sculpture for her, Edward became more and more important in her heart.
On the other hand, her boyfriend, uh no, should be an ex-boyfriend now.
The ex-boyfriend's selfishness annoyed her, and the girl broke up with him after seeing through the villain.
Secondly, because of Edward's "stealing", people's impression of him has changed greatly.
Later, due to some other minor misunderstandings, the attitude of the people in the town towards Edward became unfriendly again.
Only the girl was still standing by his side.
On that night when Edward carved ice sculptures for the girl, in the small room, the girl looked at Edward affectionately: "Hug me." ”
Edward raised his arms, and the pair of scissor hands lingered in the air for a long time, but finally did not land on the girl's waist.
"I can't. Edward looked at his scissorhands and said bitterly.
I have a knife in my hand, how can I hug you?
If I hold you tight, it hurts you.
What the hell should I do?
........
At the end of the film, because of a misunderstanding, Edward is misunderstood by people for deliberately hurting people.
The arrival of the police drove him into a corner.
In desperation, the girl had no choice but to let him escape.
In desperation, Edward fled back to the castle. When the police saw him return to the castle, they also gave up their investigation.
Because the last time he stole something, he released Edward, and he also knew that Edward was a very simple and kind person and would not do anything to deliberately hurt others.
So, after the police left, the girl also rushed into the castle, wanting to meet her beloved.
But his ex-boyfriend also followed, and wanted to kill Edward. Edward took away his girlfriend, how could he endure it?
But the kind-hearted Edward did not resist, allowing others to throw him to the ground and let them trample on him.
He doesn't want to hurt humans, and he doesn't want to hurt humans.
But the girl couldn't stand it, she took action to stop it, but she was pushed to the ground by her ex-boyfriend and fell hard.
This time, it completely touched Edward's scales.
You can hurt me!
But hurt her, absolutely not!
Expressionless, he stabbed his scissor hand into the boy's chest and pushed him out of the window, falling high from the castle and falling to his death.
I have a knife and can't hug you.
But at least, I can protect you.
.........
After the boy's death, Edward was about to be separated from the girl.
Edward was destined not to belong to the world, he was destined to have no hands, he was destined not to hug girls.
Edward: "Goodbye." ”
"I love you. The girl said goodbye with tears.
In order to cover up the truth about the boy's death, the girl made up a lie to the people that Edward was crushed to death by the collapsed roof of the house during a fight with the boy.
Come out of the castle, the whole world can't accommodate you, my dear, at least my heart can still accommodate you.
........
In the last scene of the movie, the girl who has become a grandmother tells her granddaughter this story.
Just like the last scene of the Titanic, the elderly Ruth confided in her granddaughter about the dusty past.
Some love is beautiful, but it belongs only to fairy tales, not to reality.
Just like Edward, he belongs to the castle and cannot fit into the world.
And the girl came from the world and was destined to be separated from Edward.
Because of the identity of Xianfan, the queen mother separated the cowherd and the weaver girl. The fairy tale of Edward and the girl is shattered by the cruelty of reality.
For Edward, the worst decision he made was not to kill someone, not to fall in love with a girl, not to become a star, nor to ....
It's that he shouldn't have walked out of the castle.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, he was wrong.
"If, at night, when the moon rises, the moonlight shines on my door, I hope that the Goddess of the Moon will grant me a wish. ”
"I want a pair of human hands, I want to hold my lover tightly in my arms with my hands, even if only once. ”
"If I had never tasted the feeling of warmth, maybe I wouldn't be so cold, and if I had never felt the sweetness of love, maybe I wouldn't be so miserable. If I hadn't met her who was kind, if I had never left my room, I would have known that I was so lonely. ”
On the screen, Edward stands at the top of the castle and looks out over the town.
Faintly, he seemed to see the girl dancing in the snow.
She is so beautiful.
I'm so lonely.
.....
Wow!
The picture is frozen in the ancient castle.
At this point, the movie ends. [.]
