very strange and amazing.

The thing about Edward Scissorhands is that it is a VERY required taste. If you think about it, most of the movie is terrible, with plot holes and such. For instance, why put Edward on a water bed, why not just put him on the couch bed in the first place, you know, the one that doesn't have water in it. Its also obvious that none of the people in the town leave the town, since they have nothing better to do than gossip. "Hey there's someone I haven't seen before in Peg's car, lets just f***ing tell EVERYONE I know!" (only those who reside in the town obviously.) The dad seems like he's always stoned out of his mind, which may be on purpose, and how can Kim just fall in love with Edward with about one week of knowing him, and though he barely talks at all. It may just be consolation from being mad at Jim but still, it doesn't quite compute. Also, why would the inventor give Edward scissors for hands, he could have made him less lethal by just not putting anything at the end of his arms. I know it's the point of the movie, so don't judge me. And no one seems to be super freaked when they find Jim at the end, just a simple gasp.
But regardless I still love this movie. It is visually captivating, the acting is amazing, and artistic visualization is phenomenal. My personal favorite lines are when Edward comes back to the house and finds Kim and the classic "Hold me." "I can't". It's very unique, there is definitely nothing like it, and nothing will ever match up to it.
