We have lived in the shadow of the Wall for more than a year. It cuts through the heart of Berlin. We’ve learned to live with it. We refused to think that it will always be this way. In the beginning we wait across the wall to our families in East Berlin. It didn’t matter who watch this. But later the communist policemen came and stop to our families for waiting. My mother lives over there. They moved her away if she dares to wait. It’s forbidden. I speak to my children in east Berlin with hand signals making certain the guards are not watching. I don’t want him to hang my family. We have become good with our signals. … communist have hard time tracking his dumb. But we take chances specially on night when an escape is planed. In the beginning many people escaped on road daylight by jumping out the window basing in western sector of the city. Our firemen were there to help. We remember the women being help by communist guards to prevent her from joining her family. They even through tear gaze close of who bellow ready to catch her. That ’s when they decided to extend the wall and cut access to the building spacing west Berlin. They sealed every window. Many brick layers came over to outside of the wall, they probably do that kind of job. Their strong barbed wire on the roofs to close off another way of escape. Many homes along this side of the wall were razed.

They blinded us with reflecting mirrors. They through tear gaze. They tried everything to keep us away. We through the tear gaze grenades back at them.

Johnny Depp : J.D.

Tim Burton : T.B.

Journalist : J.

J.D. :

Is he outside or is he just not inside. I don’t know. It’s difficult to say. I don’t think he’ll never be inside it’s euh, I think it’s, euh that for sure.

He is one of less than an Handful who is capable of art in Cinema.

There is something deeply poetic about Tim and there is something deeply poetic about the images that he creates, that he conjures and that he gives to us as viewers.

J.

You have a very strong relationship as director/actor with Johnny Depp can you tell us what attract you to him as an actor and why his character ? with him.

T.B.

He response I had to think, I think very much from the inside as well and that’s why I think I’ve enjoyed working with him. He’s that you know something very exiting working with somebody who, you know, wants just too different things and character especially with somebody who looks the way he is and people procedure in a certain way. He’s really the opposite of that.

J.

Is there any sens in what you looking through him autobiographically ?

T.B.

Well I mean, he’s, with the scissor hands character, I would say there is more slightly autobiographic who care but I would never, I always capt the distance from that, I mean, because first of all, you know, I don’t look like anything like Johnny Depp, you know, obviously, so there is a certain distance from that you know, that’s just there.

When I first met him for Edouard scissor hands he is somebody who, I don’t know, I just feel like I operate on similar level of sensing, you know, he wasn’t known at the time, seventeen years old, and I didn’t know him but I just had this feeling like well he just doesn’t feel like that, he doesn’t, I bet he doesn’t feel that way at all.

J.D.

They were trying to label me while this kind of, you know, very limiting, handle such as, you know a Teen hard prod, you know.

When I met Tim for Edouard scissor hands it was immediately apparent to me as the second I met him that he was Edouard scissor hands. ? You know they is me to, you know, I mean the character, there is something in there, that’s me, that’s Tim, that’s you, that’s universal, that feeling of being outside you know. Through my carrier there is several things that we did together that he had to fight, the studios too, to cast me, because they want me they want flee to the mountain, they wanted this guy because he was popular, because whatever. Now I’m convince that without Tim and his taking this risk on me I wouldn’t been, I wouldn’t been this guy a long time ago by the industry
