Question

What aspects of German Expressionism did you see in Edward Scissorhands?

Answer 1

He had dark, messy black hair with a pallid complexion. He's dark and Gothic.

Answer 2

The distortion of bodies and shapes is one of the styles used in this film. For instance, the trimmed plants appear larger than usual in the castle. The doorknob's handle is longer than usual. Additionally, Edward's scissor hands is a form of body distortion. As a general rule, we used to have human hands rather than scissor hands. All of these distortions demonstrate the film's influence on German Expressionism.
