Edward Scissorhands [Region 2]
Edward Scissorhands [Region 2] A Tragic Masterpiece – matuszews409 – Pittsburgh, PA USA
Edward Scissorhands is such an elaborately thought out film with such simple themes – anyone can enjoy it. The film follows Edward (who without a doubt should be on a list of the best cinematic characters of all time) who deals with the sorrow of being “different” and the impossible search for happiness. This film has so many emotions packed onto one little disc! It ranges from hilarious to dark, beautiful to tragic. Amazing acting from Depp, Ryder, and especially Weist make it even more spectacular. If your in the mood for a real story, with great cinematography, acting, and music, then check out Edward Scissorhands.
Absolutley Beautiful – Carlos Donoso Kronfle – Miami, Florida
Edward Scissor Hands is by far my favorite love story ever to be told. It is genuine and heart touching. A man that has scissors for hands (standing out from society for his oddness) is exposed to the town that was underneath the castle he lived for so many lonely years. You can assimilate this story in so many ways, being different from the rest and falling in love with a common girl, in which a relationship of that nature would have been disgustingly disapproved by civilization.
I was only 7 years old when this movie came out and yet I always felt it had touched me and exactly understood the main reason for this film being still at such young age. I will always be able to relate this film to society’s behavior due to even 20 years later it has aged so well.
A cult classic indeed.
: Edward Scissorhands achieves the nearly impossible feat of capturing the delicate flavor of a fable or fairy tale in a live-action movie. The story follows a young man named Edward (Johnny Depp), who was created by an inventor (Vincent Price, in one of his last roles) who died before he could give the poor creature a pair of human hands. Edward lives alone in a ruined Gothic castle that just happens to be perched above a pastel-colored suburb inhabited by breadwinning husbands and frustrated housewives straight out of the 1950s. One day, Peg (Dianne Wiest), the local Avon lady, comes calling. Finding Edward alone, she kindly invites him to come home with her, where she hopes to help him with his pasty complexion and those nasty nicks he’s given himself with his razor-sharp fingers. Soon Edward’s skill with topiary sculpture and hair design make him popular in the neighborhood–but the mood turns just as swiftly against the outsider when he starts to feel his own desires, particularly for Peg’s daughter Kim (Winona Ryder). Most of director Tim Burton’s movies (such as Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman) are visual spectacles with elements of fantasy, but Edward Scissorhands is more tender and personal than the others. Edward’s wild black hair is much like Burton’s, suggesting that the character represents the director’s own feelings of estrangement and co-option. Johnny Depp, making his first successful leap from TV to film, captures Edward’s childlike vulnerability even while his physical posture evokes horror icons like the vampire in Nosferatu and the sleepwalker in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Classic horror films, at their heart, feel a deep sympathy for the monsters they portray; simply and affectingly, Edward Scissorhands lays that heart bare. –Bret Fetzer Edward Scissorhands achieves the nearly impossible feat of capturing the delicate flavor of a fable or fairy tale in a live-action movie.
