Mas a vida em Carnaxide era um pouco diferente. Não havia quintais, havia estradas e arcadas de betão, e depois havia a serra, selvagem, com um sem parar de cigarras, alcochofras espinhudas, e muitas papoilas.
Depp's Ed ward is found living alone in the attic of a gothic castle, two settings
that have regularly been the dwellling place of numerous Burton characters.
There's a sense of isolation in that. Symbolically I associated it with isolation. But it's also a reaction against the suburban home in some ways. It's like, if you're grown up and lived for your whole life in one of these, you start imagining all sorts of things as a reaction against that. It was always a desire to be up, or out, or away, and in an envorinment that was not like being inside a shoe box.
[...] Growing up in suburbia is like growing up in a place where there's no sense of history, no sense of culture, no sense of passion for anything. You never felt there was an attachment to things. So you were either forced to conform and cut out a large portion of your personality, or to develop a very strong interior life which made you feel separate.
The film can also be seen as a Burton's version of the beauty and the beast, a fairy tale...with an epilogue featuring Winnona Rider as an old woman telling her granddaughters the story of Edward
That's such a classic theme. Someone said that there were only five stories, well that is one of them. It's a theme that it's in thousand stories and any number of horror pictures.
