History TearJerker / EdwardScissorhands

'''WARNING:''' Spoilers are unmarked.

** That...last little smile the Inventor gives as Edward looks at his present can hit anybody ''hard'', especially remembering this was Price's final performance. The smile even ''looks'' like the ones Price would give in his heyday.

* The rest of the neighborhood turning against Edward after he's arrested for breaking into Jim's house.
* Edward's bout of intense jealousy after he confesses to Kim that he went along with Jim's plan because Jim told him that Kim wanted him (Edward) to do so. He slashes a curtain, then heads into the bathroom, where he continuously slashes the wall with his hands.

* The Ending, despite being made to look Bittersweet, is really depressing when you analyze it more. Edward basically retreats back to his home, and spends the rest of his life all alone again as a result of being turned against by nearly the entire neighborhood due to a series of misunderstandings and being slandered by Jim and Joyce, and not even his lover, Kim, comes back to visit him, ever, because she wants him to "remember her as he first met her". The final lines of dialogue and Creator/DannyElfman's powerful music only makes the ending even more heart-wrenching.
** Granted, the movie does try to make the ending seem somewhat less depressing by showing that, despite now being all alone again, Edward is happy and at peace, but even then, it's still an ending too bleak for many.

* Music/DannyElfman's music alone is tear jerking.
* The moment where Kim realizes the situation looks so bad that the mob of suburbanites will be too angry to reason with, and half-whispers "Run." Heartbreaking.

* The scenes with Creator/VincentPrice. This was one of his last performances, and though he was pretty ill and frail when filming, he gave it his all. For a guy who did mostly science fiction and horror b-movies, he was dead serious about putting everything he had into his characters, and this movie is a very dignified final appearance for him.
** The RealitySubtext goes further. Price was basically Creator/TimBurton's idol as he was growing up, so the fact that Price not only appeared in his film but did a wonderfully heartbreaking job while nearing the end of his life makes it all the more lovely.

** And then the scene where [[spoiler:Edward accidentally cuts his hands apart]] as the [[spoiler:inventor crumples to the floor]].
** "I know it's a little early for Christmas Edward but... I have a present for you."

* At the very end, [[spoiler:Kim kissing Edward and telling him she loves him before they separate forever. The reaction shot of Edward's eyes upon her confession is what really seals it.]]
* The saddest thing of all is that Peg was the one who took Edward from the mansion, showed him the outside world, and treated him like a son. [[spoiler:The last she hears of him is her daughter telling everyone he died.]] She must have felt horrible.
