Have I Seen It? Yes, I love it!
Edward Scissorhands is by far my favorite Tim Burton movie. The story is a grown-up fairy tale, and it’s been said that it is a partial autobiography of Tim Burton. Edward is an “abnormal” being in a “normal” world one street wide. The extremes are obvious. Edward (presumably representing Tim Burton himself) is strange, he has scissors for hands, and real-world logic doesn’t make sense to him. Everybody else fits into a mold. They have no personal identity. But from the view of Tim Burton, the other people are the abnormal, inhumane ones, and Edward is the one with heart and imagination.
