A beautiful, heartfelt masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2006)

Tim Burton has a wonderful imagination, and from this imagination sprang the idea for "Edward Scissorhands", a movie that is so heartfelt it might just reduce you to tears.
The story is about Edward, the creation of an old inventor who passed away before he could finish him, leaving Edward with scissors for hands. Edward remained in the mansion until he is found by Mrs. Boggs, a local woman who works for Avon and is attempting to find customers for her products. Feeling pity for Edward, she takes him back to her house in Suburbia where he becomes loved by the people and hated at the same time.
Johnny Depp does a wonderful job as Edward, playing this out casted character with much talent. Wionna Ryder plays Kim, the daughter of Mrs. Boggs whom Edward has an infatuation with. Also notable are Vincent Price, wonderful as the old inventor, and Anthony Michael Hall, Kim's jealous boyfriend. What makes the movie memorable, however, is the amazing score from none other than Danny Elfman. The music is so heartfelt and fits the mood of the movie so well that it is hard not to feel tears in your eyes while watching this amazing movie.
Give it a try.
