This movie may seem odd to some people but there is so much more to it. I understand we absorbed the phrase “never judge a book by it’s cover” so much in stories growing up, but that is exactly what this movie is. I consider it the best as well. visually it was amazing with it’s expressionistic characters and settings. Tim Burton was genius when thinking of his main character. a man with scissors for hands who made beautiful things but when it came to touching people… he couldn’t. There is a lot of repetition with “I know a doctor who might be able to help you” and he never goes to a doctor. Then you realize that he doesn’t need help. the people in the town are the ones who need help adapting to this “change” which they never do except for the people who have embraced him. Edward Scissorhands is a great movie that anyone can enjoy from all ages.
