The Nightmare Before Chirstmas

I think that alot of movies today are made about being yourself and not conforming to what society thinks you should be. The Nightmare before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands are no different. When Jack tries to do something different than what his Halloween society was used to or even wanted to do, they didn't understand or even like the results of what happened. I mean sure they went along with it, but that was just because Jack there celebrity told them to. Jack after he tries to change what he and his town does it all misfires. I think this was the point. I think that although society didn't cast him out the plans didn't work so that we knew that this change wasn't supposed to be. Edward Scissorhands also fits this theme. Once he conforms to what everybody wants him to be and look like everything goes wrong. He gets arrested. He get chased by the police. The town banishes him pretty much. These are all signals that the changing on oneself for the benefit of others is wrong. You are who you are for a reason. WHY CHANGE FOR ONE PERSONS BENEFIT?? Don't. We are all special. Be who you are and the world may be a better place because of it.
