Similarities Between Edward Scissorhands And The Lost Thing

‘Edward Scissorhands’ and ‘The Lost Thing’ are more the same than they are different. They are very much alike in the way they are set out and in the way they are plotted. I agree with this statement because as Edward Scissorhands, he was in the neighbourhood, he felt like he was an outcast, everything was so new and different compared to his castle. Even though Edward was considered like an outsider, he was still able to return to his rightful place. The same principle goes for ‘The Lost thing’, at first he was treated, in a way, simular to Edward. ‘The Lost Thing’ was returned to being with more ‘Lost things’ at the end of the movie.

Edward Scissorhands was directed by Tim Burton and is a film about a teenager with scissors as hands, he

is trying to learn to fit in with the society that is new to him. The inventor who created Edward died, since then Edward has lived on his own until a kind lady named Peg welcomed Edward into her home. Another way by presenting that ‘The Lost Thing’ and ‘Edward Scissorhands’ are more simular than they are different is by remembering that both of these main characters were found by someone that cared, someone that wanted to help, however both leaving.
The Lost thing seems to be shown in the way of the main character has been presented as well as the lost thing, the viewer is able to relate to both of these characters either by being lost or finding something lost. At the start of the movie many adults are found lying on the beach however only the boy seems to see the lost thing, this shows that the adult world is so absorbed in what they are doing themselves that they never stop to look what is right in front of them. Belonging and diversity are shown in this film when the lost thing finds a place where it belongs with other lost things, which makes it happy.
The filming techniques used for both of these films seemed to be alike. Edward was found to being an outcast when he is found in the neighbourhood doing strange things that he has never done before. Compared to his castle which gives you unwelcoming, gloomy vibes the town seemed to include small pastel coloured houses with ‘fun’, jazzy music playing in the background. Same as for the 'The Lost Thing' everything seems to be dark and sad, sitting there lonely on the beach, feeling lost, just like an outcast. Many adults seemed to walk past this unusual object, however, the boy was the only one that realised that he was there. After the strange thing was released to what seemed home the boy started to grow up, he started not noticing the lost things or just stopped caring.
As you can see both of these movies when compared seem to be alike, both seeming quite dull and gloomy.
