Edward Scissorhands Recap Task (SPOILERS)
Edward Scissorhands recap task Apply these theories to the whole film: - Laura Mulvey - male gaze (REPRESENTATION) - Henry Jenkins - genre constantly breaking the rules (GENRE) - Blumer and Katz - Uses and gratification theory (AUDIENCE) - Todorov's theory of narrative development (NARRATIVE) In Edward Scissorhands the representation of age is the young teens (Jim) wears a black leather jacket and does what he wants when he wants and he also is rebellious and he is horrible to Edward. However the mum is more accepting to Edward and wears colourful clothing and takes pity on him. The dad he is into the idea of Edward staying with them but he tolerates it. Kim is scared at first and does judge him but she becomes more accepting as time goes on. I personally think the genre of Edward Scissorhands is a fantasy as it's not real and it could also be a romance as of the story of Kim and Edward falling in love and their story. Laura Mulve
