Amazing...

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2008)

This movie is truly remarkable. It's a movie that in some way, reaches everyone that watches it.
I could think of every glorifying word I know to describe this movie. But, in all truth, this movie is indescribable. This is Tim Burton at his best. In this movie you see the imagination of a child come to life in a beautiful tale. I think, that in a way, everyone secretly wants to know someone like Edward. Because, quite frankly, the one thing that really separates Edward from "normal" people is his actions and personality. Edward is gentle, he is kind to everyone he meets, he is polite and caring. Edward is something that is a fantasy just for those traits, never mind the fact that he has scissors for hands.
I think thats what gives this movie the magic it has. The fact that, by the end of this movie you realize this fact. You watch the people in the town drive him away, and your sad. And, your not just sad because Edward is alone. Your not just sad that Edward doesn't have a family any more. Your sad at how the towns people acted. Your sad how it all came crashing down. And, finally, your sad at almost how real that situation is, and your disappointed because, in a way, you can see people you know, in your own town, doing the same thing...
