Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2006)

Edward Scissorhands is a great example of Tim Burton's work. It is the story of Edward, a man created by an inventor who died before he was able to give Edward hands, leaving him with only scissors for hands. Edward is left alone in the inventor's mansion on top of a hill, until a kind Avon lady, Peg Boggs, takes him in.
One of the main reasons I love this movie is the beautiful music by Danny Elfman. The music itself gives life to the movie, gives it some personality. Another highlight is the acting, especially Johnny Depp as Edward, and Winona Ryder as Kim, Peg's daughter. Not only do they act by speaking, you can tell exactly what their characters are feeling just by the simplest expressions they make. You can really relate to the characters, and it's really an emotional movie.
This is the only movie that's ever made me cry. It can really mean something to someone.
10/10. I recommend watching the commentaries by Tim Burton. He doesn't say much, but you'll learn more than you thought you did :)
