Edward Scissorhands/Tear Jerker


Tear Jerkers in Edward Scissorhands include:

  • The music alone is tear jerking.
  • The moment where Kim (Winona Ryder) realises the situation looks so bad that the mob of suburbanites will be too angry to reason with, and half-whispers "Run". Heartbreaking.
  • "Hold me." "... I can't."
  • The ending from Danny Elfman's Awesome Music to the final lines of dialogue.
  • The scenes with Vincent Price. This was one of his lasts performances, and though he was pretty ill and frail when filming, he gave it his all. For a guy who did mostly science fiction and horror b-movies, he was dead serious about putting everything he had into his characters, and this movie is a very dignified final appearance for him.
  • "He didn't wake up."
  • And then the scene where Edward accidentally cuts his hands apart as the inventor crumples to the floor.
