one of my favorite films of all time

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 1999)

ok, edward sissorhands. this has to be one of my favorite films of all time...i think it's a modern frankenstien with a twist. ok ok, it's not ALL that orignal...ok ok it was a "sad" ending..ok ok..blah blah blah..that's what ive been reading in all the other reviews. Who says this needed a happy ending? Who said it wasn't a happy ending? come on! it's the story i love that goes across..being different and misunderstood. and if you can't see that because they weren't together in the end(depp and ryder), you're missing the point. yeah it is true that the contrast in sides was a little to direct but thats just how burton wanted it. As for it being original? Find me a movie that hasnt taken an idea...."Romeo Juliet" wasn't even original. Prymus and Thisbe ring a bell? Its an old story with a new twist seen thru a different set of eyes.
Maybe i'm just partial to Tim Burton but i strongly recommend this film...and if you want happy endings rent some disney movies.
