In Tim Burton's EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, a suburban fairy tale with incredibly imaginative sets, an Avon lady, Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest), discovers the half-finished experiment--a...
more...man/monster named Edward (Johnny Depp)--of a mad scientist (played magically by Vincent Price) living in the neighborhood's old abandoned castle. The scientist died before replacing the shy man's large shears with real hands. When Peg attempts to bring Edward into her suburban world, to live among her skeptical family (husband Alan Arkin and daughter Winona Ryder) and gossipy neighbors, his hands--dangerous yet capable of creating things of great beauty--make for some awkward, funny, and poignant situations: Edward as a topiary gardener, Edward as a cutting-edge hair stylist. EDWARD SCISSORHANDS is a story about tolerance, difference, and creativity as much as it is a story of a young man's coming of age (the young man in question is, of course, a monster). In the ironically surreal world of Edward's suburban community, he must try to find his place in it, and in the world at large.

I would have to say undoubtable the best Johnny Deep/ Time Burton collaboration ever. I do love this film! The imagery of the brightly coloured well kept town and Edwards gothic decaying mansion on a dark bleak hill speaks for itself. Edward is more than an outcast, but as the film progresses you see that Edward is not just a pouty, handless freak, but a man with a real skill for cutting hedges to hair and in a warped and bizarre way gives you an insight onto how some people with real disabilites get treated by diffrent people. Quintessencially this is a cult-classic rom com.
CHARCATERS:
The romeance between Edward (Johnny Depp) and KIm (Winona Ryder) who come from completely different social worlds is expected but you just still can't help sighing at the line 'hold me' ..... 'I can't'. When is taken home by a kindly Avon lady (Diane Wiest) to live with her family, his adventure in the pastel paradise of Surburbia.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Special features include... Tim Burton commetry, Danny Elfman commentary, Fearurette, Interview Clips, 2 Trailers, Spanish TV spots and Concept Artwork which is my favorite feature as it shows some of artwork Burton has done to create the overall asthetic for Edward Scissorhands.
PERSONAL THOUGHT:
I deffinatley recomend it and for Tim Burton fans like myself, it is a deffinate MUST SEE!
