Edward Burton Scissorhands Gothic Pop
I distinctly remember seeing the trailer for this film in the movie theater and a person near me said loudly "won't be seeing that movie." It's not for everyone - But it has since become my favorite fantasy film. Straight from Tim Burton's subconscious vision he paints the tale a sensitive, isolated stranger who is brought into the realm of Day-Glo suburbia by an Avon lady with the best of intentions. The story unfolds as the Main character is perceived as both creative and destructive by the denizens of this pristine, ordered world. The consequences are always grimm - but bittersweet, beautiful, visual storytelling takes this classic theme and elevates it to the highest artform a film can acheive. Edward is Frankenstein's Monster as the artist in society. The outsider who is appreciated for what they produce - but abhorred as a personality by those who worship their art. This should have been out on DVD much sooner! With commentary by Burton and the soundtracks composer Danny Elfman. I can't say how much of a treat this will be for fans of both. So to quote a classic episode of Seinfeld featuring two Italian Barbers " Edwardo Scissorhandsa, He maka me cry..." I am it it is me and so on.

Omnia mutantur nihil interit

The Number One best movie I have ever seen!
Don't be turned off by the fantasy-like look of this amazing film. This has recently become my number one all time favorite movie. This movie captures the essence of innocence and cruelty. Although the main character in this movie (Edward Scissorhands) is a fantasy and people may get the impression of a character unable to relate this, it is not so. In fact, I have never cried harder during a movie.

Tim Burton, the best director ever, (look for his other films) creates the perfect cast, setting, and plot in this movie. The soundtrack by Danny Elfman,( look for the soundtrack) creates the most beautiful music ever in a movie. You can hear the drama and comedy flowing through the music.

This is the most touching, sweetest, and the most beautiful fairy tale ever. This is a captivating tale of romance, comedy, and drama. Just think, a story of someone who loves and is so gentle on the inside, but has sharp knives on the outside. Of all the movies I have ever seen, I recommend this the most.
