One of Johnny's and Tim's finest!

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2006)

I'm not the biggest Tim Burton fan. He tends to annoy me with his dark edge. However, I have only enjoyed three of his films: Nightmare before Christmas, Batman and Edward Scissorhands. The acting is very well by Johnny and Winona. The innocence betrayed in Johnny is so well betrayed as a young child trying to fit in his area around him but struggles because he is different. The attraction Winona develops is convincing in my opinion and shows the connection of emotion they share. Tim Burton's work is VERY well done. He betrays the American life of the 60s well. The question of acceptance is well done as well. The final scene is one of my favorites. The music is Excellent by Danny Elfman and as well as the story by Tim Burton I believe. 9/10
