The lack of exposure to the outdoors resembles social outcast in Tim Burton’s films creating the characters Edward Scissorhands and Willy Wonka to connect differently from others. Individuality is expressed specifically within these two films “Edward Scissorhands” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. Their isolation towards others expresses that them growing up in a different environment affects their social skills. Tim Burton uses framing and angles to show the vulnerability and isolation of the main characters compared to society to illustrate the effects of social outcast.
Tim Burton in “Edward Scissorhands” uses long shot in order to show the isolation of a character. For example, when Peg found Edward hiding in the mansion, it shows his segregation from humans and the understanding of Edward not having contact with anyone. By showing his desolation, the viewer can infer he has been hidden in the mansion for ages and has had no social contact with the outside world. Edward’s vulnerability is exposed when he pleads for Peg not to leave. After Edward is taken out into the world and separates from his place of origin, he is seen as different because of his appearance and physical characteristics compared to the townspeople and became an outcast towards others.
In “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, Tim Burton uses close up to emphasize the facial expression of a character such as Willy Wonka. When he talked about his parents to the kids and showed flashbacks of his father, his emotions were exposed. This understanding shows that his past life affects his present life that he cannot escape, which therefore helps the viewer conclude why Willy Wonka is considered a dark and mysterious person and confines from others. He is portrayed physically different from everyone and isolated like his factory which enhances the key point of why he is an outcast from society, including the way the viewer perceives him to be sassy, blunt, and eccentric towards others.
In “Edward Scissorhands”, Tim Burton uses two shot to include both characters during interaction to show equality. For example, when the Creator shows Edward’s hands he made for him, the viewer can conclude that the Creator cared for him, but could not complete Edward before he passed away. This gives a full understanding on why Edward doesn’t have hands, and leads up to the reason why he was detached from society. His Creator passing away does not give Edward the opportunity to meet others and have his own hands, which is the essential reason why he had to shut himself out from the world. This being Edward’s last flashback creates impact to the story of how he is now and how he was before.
Willy Wonka and Edward Scissorhands are identical from having a bad past. They are both distant from society and are dark people. Their attitude may differ from each other where Edward is considered shy and mellow and Willy to be sassier, but they are alike with having a bad past and acquiring many flashbacks. Framing and angles show their differences to the rest of society from their vulnerability and isolation which changes their attitude towards others. Society should accept others and not judge from people’s differences like Edward Scissorhands and Willy Wonka or the effects of excluding someone leads to becoming a social outcast.
Is there any corrections I should make to my essay?
First, Is is singular, corrections is plural. Make your verb and subject agree in all sentences. See, "Their attitude..." Their is plural. And watch your choice of words. I have NO idea what you mean when you say Willy Wonka "confines from others." Does he confine himself from others? Does he separate himself from others? Is he confining something else away from others?
