When I first saw the trailer, I thought the film is boring. But then, when I started it and watched till the end, I never thought I would love it. And yes, I had a crush with Edward Scissorhands. :p

Edward Scissorhands, a prominent eccentric story - the movie yet imaginative and more exciting career at Burton. Edward (Johnny Depp) is not a man but a creation of the inventor (an all too brief appearance of the wonderful Vincent Price in his last role). Edward looks quite humanly, his hands are just some scissors, and leads a solitary life in a house neglected over a quarter of colored boxes. Only when Peg Boggs (Dianne West), a commercial agent, she discovers his hiding place, Edward descended into "real" world and wakes Peg's label her neighbors for his talents as a hairdresser, barber and gardener dogs. Life is complicated Edward naive and gullible but when the hero falls for Peg's daughter Kim (Winona Ryder), and is forced by her boyfriend (Anthony Michael Hall) to commit a crime.
One of the achievements of this eccentric movie is the distribution of its main actors in roles totally nonspecific. Hall, known as an interpreter of the confusing-world character in "The Breakfast Club" (1985), he skillfully reveals the negative side in his role as Jim's friend Kim. Ryder, on the other hand, lacked the monumental cynicism here that he displays in "Heathers" (1989), adolescence is a pleasant and even delicate. But most impressive is Depp, who plays a quiet character, frustrated by the unfinished body, whose face pale and scared to express the suffering that one feels when he realizes that even the most gentle touch with his scissor hands can cause pain. A modern fairy tale, beautifully designed and ambitious.
