Magnanimous!

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2007)

When I saw this movie, just a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what year it was from. And I was really chocked when I found out that this masterpiece is created in 1990. Tim Burton is well-known for his way of making movies. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands... Every film he is involved in, you can expect something absolutely extra ordinary. And Edward Scissorhands is of course not any exception. We'll follow Edwards way into the real, human life. With a constant continual flash back of his early life, and how this have made him to what and who he is today. Edwards character demonstrate the way to acceptation for a newcomer, and then most of his actions, turns out to be wrong. The story and the world the characters live in, describes a very stereotypical view of things and situations. I get the "Truman show"-feeling that they all are watched, and we are the spectators. Winona Ryder as Kim, symbolize the goodness and purity in the world, Johnny Depp as Edward, the unknown and exciting, and Anthony Michael Hall as Jim, the evil and illiberal. Dianne Wiest got also an interest role as Peg, the kind woman that brings Edward to her own house. She sees no vicious in Edward and accepts him for who he is.
There's so much to say and discuss about this movie, and every time I mention it, I come up with more and more interesting things about it. If you haven't seen Edward Scissorhands yet, I thinks that there no question about it if you should see it or not, you have to.
