there are two types of people...

Rating: Null/10 (19 September 2002)

There are two types of people who watch Edward Scissorhands... Those who are like Edward and those who are like the boyfriend who wants to beat up edward for enchanting "his woman".
If you are the beautiful, creative, passionate (and alittle pale) type who relates to Edward... good on you! Please don't give up. There is a little artist in most of us, and most people have felt awkward and alienated at some point... this film will speak to you, cut to your heart and stay with you for life.
Then there is the spiteful types who think that just because they dont relate to Edward's pain that the whole film is bad for others. Shame on you! One can't just write off a film with so much depth, and if it seems to you to be nothing else... but an imaculate visual feast in a fantasy like world... Perhaps you should go watch war and teen films about football heroes and cheerleaders, leaving the depth and spirit of this beautiful film to those with empathy and desire to be unique.
If you are the third type of person who loves this film (the girl who ran away from an aching ed out there...) This is a tear jerker and a real eye opener.
From the perspective of Edward himself, this film lets you feel alone, gifted and magical for a few hours. A great film to encourage tolerance of others who are different... and rather against those who just judge on face value.
Loved it, bought it.... you should at least rent it... :)
The musical score is beautiful Danny! Thanks again for helping Burton weave his magic audibly.
