Edward Scissorhands

Good movie

Great movie

Great movie. Didnt realize I didnt have it until recently. Now I do

Edward Scissorhands is a classic movie that myself and my wife grew up watching. After wanting to share it with our kids, we realized that we didn't even own it! So, I took to the internet and purchased the Blu-Ray version of it. It looks and sounds great, and I really appreciate the cover art and look of the packaging. This is a great movie to enjoy with your pre-teens and the rest of your family!

This was the film that, for me, marked Tim Burton’s leap from very talented young director, to one of the best most unique film voices of our time, along with Johnny Depp’s leap from very talented young actor to one of our best actors, period. What Depp and Burton seem to share is an understanding of the visual power of film, but not just with cinematography and effects, but in performance. Depp is almost like a great silent film star, communicating more with his eyes, than most actors could with a monologue. This is the surreal fable of a young man who was built, not born, and whose creator dies before he can finish him, leaving him alone, with scissors for hands. He’s found and adopted by a sweet, if slightly daffy Avon lady – Diane Weist in another of an endless series of brilliant supporting performances. She takes young orphan Edward down from the near black and white castle in which the lives to the bright pastel world of the suburban town below. (A world almost as surreal in it’s exaggerated way as his lonely castle. There the outcast finds a place, and maybe even love, but is there really room for the truly different in our society? A film in which everything is bigger than life, but infused with heart and the bitter-sweetness of life itself. It brings a smile to my face, and tears to my eyes on every viewing.

One of my struggles growing up was having ticks. I've been a fan of Edward Scissorhands ever since I was a kid. But, I never shared it as much as I had with the other Tim Burton classics. I use to ask myself that. I've known for a few years that Tim Burton too has ticks. But, this year, I found out that Tim based Edward out of some of his life from when he was young. People seeing him almost like an out cast because of how he dressed dark and with how they see his ticks. The ticks part I mostly relate too. People looking at me when the ticks take action. I guess when I was young, I didn't like sharing I was autistic. And some how, deep down I understand half of Edward and was also afraid to share I loved the movie. But, now.. I totally do. So, if you or someone you know is autistic or whoever else feels like an outcast because of their personality, it's a great recommendation for them<3

Ok

A great Gothic fairy tale. Video quality is amazing. Best way to watch the movie.
