Unique

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2007)

So there are lots of good film makers out there. Stars in each genre. Action, drama, romcom, gross out..... Just one simple question What category is Edward Scissorhands in? Tim Burton and his team created something unique. The story at one level is a romance of a girl with an outcast. It is the story of the power of the esoteric over the mundane. It is a parody of the shallowness of 50s America. It shows the surreptitious power of wives over wage slave husbands. It has elements of fairy tale. It has elements of comedy. It has elements of tragedy. They all combine to make a unique, enchanting, stunning, unmissable film. Without a doubt this is top ten movie magic - the man shows his genius here.
