Released an astonishing fourteen years ago, Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands is the perfect fantasy tale: telling the story of Edward, a robotic creation left alone after his master died. When a kind local women, Peg Boggs (Diane Wiest), brings him home to their perfect village immediately everyone is intriged. Edward, unacustomed to this new was of life has his fare share of problems fitting in. Slowly as life goes on, Edward falls for Peg's daughter: Kim. But after several events occur, he realises he cannot belong within a normal community.
This story is very heart-wrenching, and easily reduced me to tears. The film is perfect, but no use if you can't bear sad stories- that's just what this is. A depressing, unbearably sad film. Yet at the same time, its touching and addictive. The sort of film that will not be forgotten easily, however old its still a timeless fantasy story with irresitable characters.
Johnny Depp gives a perfect portrayel of Edward, his emotion is spot on as his lines are barely there. Winona Ryder gives a beautiful performance as the suspicious and freaked out Kym who slowly falls in love with Edward.
The film is depressing yet oh-so-appealing and impossible to turn off. The ending will reduce you to tears and the music is hopelessly romantic and sad.
One of the few films that is etched in my mind. 9.5/10
