Edward ScissorHands (Tim Burton)

I really enjoyed this movie because it was like a dark fairy tale.  Edward only wanted to fit into society and go along with the social "norms" but it was hard for him because of his physical appearance.  People (Jim)  took advantage of him because of how innocent he was.  I had always heard how good this movie was but I never found the time to watch it before this assignment.  I thought it was really interesting how the story was told by a grandmother to her granddaughter.  It made it feel even more like a twisted fairy tale.  I thought it was very interesting how Edward became super popular in the neighborhood but then suddenly went downhill from there.  Johnny Depp did an amazing job in this movie because he really portrayed the innocence that was met to be Edward.  I am very surprised he was not nominated for an Oscar since it is such a bizarre role.  It's like he sympathized with Edward and was able to play him so well.  Overall, I think this movie was amazing and so different from anything else I've ever seen.  Tim Burton does an amazing job and has such a unique talent for developing movies.
