Tim Burton's masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2016)

There came a time in my life when I changed different hobbies; from watching TV shows; mainly cartoons; to movies; to video games. I never really knew what piece of entertainment I was really into. When I watched Edward Scissorhands however; I just knew what I really loved. Edward Scissorhands is about a man created by a scientist in a castle. The scientist dies and the man; named Edward; is isolated and all alone in the castle. A woman named Peg; played by Dianne Wiest; stumbles upon Edward and welcomes him to his home. The movie then is about Edward trying to fit in with society; the town; and even finds love on the way.
Edward Scissorhands is one of my favorite movies of all time; its story's and characters resonated with me so much. your with Edward every step of the way. The theme of the movie is about being different; trying to fit in; and the way people can use you for good and bad reasons.A romance blossoms between Edward and Pegs daughter; Kim; played by the wonderful Winona Ryder; and oh gosh; its like a modern fairy tale.Its incredibly sweet and full of charm. Its as if Edward was a reflection of Burton himself. Being eccentric and misunderstood at the same time. The film gives a good point about how just because you may look like a monster ( Edwards Scissorhands) but on the inside is much more kinder than any of the supposedly "normal" townspeople who accuse Edward of being a monster. Not just that; the fact that the teens in the movie allegedly led Edward to his ultimate demise. Its a sad and poignant movie. The scene when Edward creates statues using ice while also making the scenery snow all at the same time; is both emotional; complex; and poignant; all at the same time and is sure to get everyone teary eyed as well.
Score: 10/10
