A dedication to the handicapped

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2001)

Truly, Edward Scissorhands is one of Tim Burton's masterpieces. He mixes mystery, fear, magic, legend, incomprehension and love. Mainly, the relation between Kim Boggs (Ryder) and Edward Scissorhands (Depp) goes far beyond any imagination could have thought before (no wonder why they dated after the making of the movie). In a few words, a contemporary fairy tale of how a man-made robot could have become the model of human perfection, until a tragic event crumbles everything down, and how the love of a girl gives him the inspiration to carry on with his life to bring beauty and happiness to the people on the town. Every time I see this movie, it makes me think that life is short and that you must have to get the most out of it...never lose time.
