The story of a pure heart

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2000)

"Edward Scissorhands" is a fable of our times. The story of the robot with a human heart, who finishes in the boring world of American Suburbia and who understands that there's no place for him in that city of falseness, is fantastic. Johnny Depp gives a wonderful and tender performance, Winona Ryder is good too (but that hair color is terrific!) and the cameo of Vincent Price is one of the best roles, he ever did. I think, that the lunar Burton and the pure Edward are very similar: two poetic souls in a too much concrete world. Great score by Danny Elfman. 10 out of 10.
