Product Description
Product Description
Once upon a time in a castle high on a hill lived an inventor whose greatest creation was named Edward. Although Edward had an irresistible charm, he wasn't quite perfect. The inventor's sudden death left him unfinished, with sharp shears of metal for hands. Edward lived alone in the darkness until one day a kind Avon lady took him home to live with her family. And so began Edward's fantastical adventures in a pastel paradise known as Suburbia.

Edward Scissorhands achieves the nearly impossible feat of capturing the delicate flavor of a fable or fairy tale in a live-action movie. The story follows a young man named Edward (Johnny Depp), who was created by an inventor (Vincent Price, in one of his last roles) who died before he could give the poor creature a pair of human hands. Edward lives alone in a ruined Gothic castle that just happens to be perched above a pastel-colored suburb inhabited by breadwinning husbands and frustrated housewives straight out of the 1950s. One day, Peg (Dianne Wiest), the local Avon lady, comes calling. Finding Edward alone, she kindly invites him to come home with her, where she hopes to help him with his pasty complexion and those nasty nicks he's given himself with his razor-sharp fingers. Soon Edward's skill with topiary sculpture and hair design make him popular in the neighborhood--but the mood turns just as swiftly against the outsider when he starts to feel his own desires, particularly for Peg's daughter Kim (Winona Ryder). Most of director Tim Burton's movies (such as Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman) are visual spectacles with elements of fantasy, but Edward Scissorhands is more tender and personal than the others. Edward's wild black hair is much like Burton's, suggesting that the character represents the director's own feelings of estrangement and co-option. Johnny Depp, making his first successful leap from TV to film, captures Edward's childlike vulnerability even while his physical posture evokes horror icons like the vampire in Nosferatu and the sleepwalker in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Classic horror films, at their heart, feel a deep sympathy for the monsters they portray; simply and affectingly, Edward Scissorhands lays that heart bare. --Bret Fetzer

Gah, I loved the naive, sweet, well intentioned Peg, the removed-but-friendly dad... gosh, they really tried to do their best, but gossip and prejudice is such poison, especially for someone as different as Edward. GAH, he was so soft, so precious. I wanted to protect him at all costs, but I had no illusions that this ending would be happy.
I felt that Edward's love for Kim was underdevloped. but I guess it was sufficient for the type of movie this was. It wasn't a grand romance like the Notebook or something, but more like a tragic love story with a focus on the fickliness of human nature. For more than half the movie, Kim was nothing but wishy washy, swayed by her douchebag boyfriend, kind of rude to Edward... a typical teenager. I guess that's fair. The only reason Edward could have fallen in love with her is the fact that he'd never seen a beautiful young woman in his life. I wish Kim could have been stronger, and saved Edward from the fate her own fickliness basically caused.
Overall, visually stunning, funny, dark, tragic, and quite a bittersweet ending. Some mature, suggestive bits but nothing explicit. Probably 13 and up.
The movie seems to be a blend between several decades. The houses all look straight out of the 1950's or 60's as well as many of the styles yet the cars and some clothing looks more 70's but then there is mention of things like CD players which really make it even harder to figure out the time frame since those are from the mid to late 80's. I believe this was an important aspect of the film as it tries to show a simple life and a throw back to a supposedly simpler time until Edward comes in and turns things upside down.
The town feels so 'plastic' and cookie cut with bright colors that it really does a good job contrasting with Edward's world which is dark, gritty, with lots of grey while his clothing is anything but simple and ordinary.
Blending the two worlds is done really well as Edward tries to adapt. But the seemingly simple community is full of back biters who are all just fair weather friends with the exception of the family that takes Edward in and a few others.
I especially loved a semi minor character in the police officer who seemed to not only understand how fickle the community was but also understood some of the challenges Edward faced and was sympathetic and genuine to him.
Oh and Vincent Price is well... priceless as the creator of Edward even though he does not get much film time, he plays a critical role flawlessly.
Overall after all these years I still love this film, perhaps even more than before since I feel I understand it more. Highly recommend this one to anyone and it looks great on Blu ray.

Edición alemana de Eduardo Manostijeras en bluray con doblaje al castellano. Ojo, no os asustéis cuando os llegue si no veis entre los idiomas el español, porque no lo indica, pero se encuentra entre los idiomas disponibles en el disco. Entre los extras hay dos audiocomentarios (de Burton Y Elfman) que NO tienen subtítulos en español, por desgracia. Incluye un documental de cómo se hizo que SÍ tiene subtítulos en español. La carátula (muy chula y que me encanta) es reversible, por lo que podemos tener la portada sin el horroroso sello de la edad. La contra viene con los textos en alemán, como es obvio.
NOTA: Por favor, como Amazon suele mezclar comentarios asegúrate de que estás consultando la edición que coincide con el encabezado y ASIN que he puesto al principio del comentario. Para asegurarte, copia-pega el código ASIN en el buscador de Amazon y te saldrá la edición de bluray que estoy comentando.
¡Un saludo! Y espero que os sea de utilidad mi comentario.
