Edward Scissorhands: a unique master piece

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2010)

First of all, I have to say that although I am not such a big fan of Tim Burton's work I enjoy watching his movies. Edward Scissorhands is not the exception and I must say that this film is quite a master piece and I consider it to be his finest creation.
The movie tells the story of an artificial man named Edward (the legendary Johnny Depp), an unfinished creation, who has scissors for hands. Edward is taken in by a suburban family and falls in love with their teenage daughter Kim, who's magnificently interpreted by Winona Ryder. Burton shows the audience an imaginary world that is so odd that it entices them in a very peculiar way. People in this place might seem weird or eccentric but they are just a clear reflection of our society.
Through a very original and moving love tale, Tim explains us that scissorhands can be harmful but not as harmful as human hands. I totally recommend this solid well told story which is a unique critic of all the bad and ugly aspects of society, such as gossip, lies, violence, selfishness, prejudice, religion, etc.
9 out of ten.
