Highly Overrated But Still Good

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

This film shows what the world can do to a truly beautiful heart.

The tittle of the film is "Edward Scissorshands". The genre is drama and fantasy. It is about an android-man with steel scissors insyead of heands. Mrs. Boggs takes him to her homeand they slowly get used to living in a small town. It isn't basen on a book. The film is set on Earth. The film is set in modern time. Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall and others stars in the film. Johnny Depp play the main role. Edward is my favourite character in the film. Everyone should watch this movie.

It's way different, but today it's an ok movie. Sorry to the producer.

Continuing my plan to watch every Johnny Depp movie in order, I come to Edward Scissorhands (1990)The movie that started the long-running Tim Burton/Depp collaboration. This movie is not just one of my favourite Depp or Burton movies, it's one of my favourite of the decade. I LOVE it.Tim Burton was one of my new favourite directors when he made this. Thanks to Beetlejuice in 1988 and Batman the year after, I was already a fan when he made this classic. I don't think he put a foot wrong for over a decade. And it was this movie, that made me a fan of Depp.Personally, I think Depp should have been nominated for an Oscar. He is superb. In fact, I think Burton, Dianne Wiest, Danny Elfman's score and the movie itself should have been nominated. As it was, it's sole nomination was for Best Makeup.Winona Ryder (who began dating Depp during filming, and would become engaged) is fine and Conchata Ferrell is an actress I adore and Anthony Michael Hall is perfectly cast as the movies bad boy.I think the movie is so touching and moving, it's a joy. Depp himself stated that he "cried like a baby" when he first read the script. At the time of his casting, Depp was wanting to break out of the teen idol status which his performance in 21 Jump Street had given him. Fox executives were so worried about Edward's image, that they tried to keep pictures of Depp in full costume under wraps until the release of the film. To prepare for his role, Johnny Depp watched the films of silent movie actor Charles Chaplin to get an idea of how to emote without dialogue. This would also come in handy a few movies later. Edward Scissorhands grossed $56 million dollars at the domestic box office to end 1990 as the 20th highest grossing movie of the year.
