Absolutely Beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2005)

I'd heard about this movie before and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I wasn't really into Tim Burton. But after seeing this movie, I have such respect for him. It's hauntingly beautiful. From the score, to the characters, to the weird place they live in, everything is meticulously and beautifully done.
Johnny Depp is unrecognizable as Edward Scissorhands. You can't help feel sorry for Edward. He's so soft spoken and polite. He's thrown into this world he doesn't know and tries to cope with everything. Winona Ryder is excellent as Kim. She really captures the character wonderfully. You watch their relationship evolve. I know I've said beautiful a lot in this review, but I'll say it again. It's BEAUTIFUL. You really feel for Kim and Edward and absolutely detest the neighbors who try to take advantage of him.
Oh, man, I cried. I cried so much. This movie affected me way after I had stopped watching it. It's a movie that you keep thinking about and it lingers on your mind. Edward Scissorhands is one of the best, thought provoking, beautiful and haunting movies I have ever seen. It's original, different, sad but sometimes funny. I recommend this movie to anyone!
