Poor edward!

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2004)

Wasnt that a tearjerker or what? (**SPOILER**) This poor boy falls in love with a girl, and cant touch her because he will poke out her eye. Edward is a great example that the world is cruel in accepting others that are different from everyone else. One family, or a select group of people, are open to the numerous disabilities of society and would embrace them with open arms, while some would sell them to the freak show in a minute. That was a huge theme that hit me square in the face, and made me cry to even consider someone having scissors as arms. (**SPOILER**) In the hopes of getting fake arms to replace the scratchy scissors, the man that created and truly loved him dies out of the blue. Edward is always haunted by the arms still remaining there, which some disabled people could be haunted by whatever they lack. And some cannot handle the pressures of the taunting and the rumors, and explode with rage and lock themselves away. I truly felt the performance of edward, who was dumb about cultures and easily trusting. I know the whole issue i wrote about is weird, but that's how i perceived the movie to mean. Winoya does a great job too, however, after her whole scandal with the shoplifting, i wonder why edward didnt have hands of gold.... (LOL) Shows what happens when you let the mind wonder. (A A-)
