Arguably the greatest original screen-story ever

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2012)

"Edward Scissorhands" is a story about innocence and a parable about good and evil. Johnny Depp plays an inventor's unfinished creation - Edward in this ferociously original film. It tells the story about when Edward comes out of the isolation of his inventor's house and mingles with human society. It is essentially a human story about an outsider with Gothic overtones. Depp's performance is a sheer and moving character study of innocence-cum-alienation. I was moved to tears towards the end. The best Burton-Depp collaboration till date. It has every potential to be a cult classic. Don't miss it whatever you do. You shall come out a better person.
