Edward Scissorhands is the magnum opus of Tim Burton's and Danny Elfman's career. Watching this film cross between the perky super-saturated parody of American suburbia to the gray toned shadowy images of Gothic horror come together so well, it's clear that the director had the entire movie plotted out in his mind far before the first scene was shot. If this script was given to another director who didn't absolutely understand it the way Burton did, it could've been a miserable failure.
The lowdown on the film is that Edward is a biological human (not a robot), but his inventor, Vincent Price, died before finishing him, so he's stuck with these razor sharp scissors for hands (not quite human). Little scenes, like the brief flashback to where Edward is sitting on a table legless, listening contently to his inventor read a verse of poetry, is such a stark take on the inventor-creature/father-son relationship, nothing similar has ever appeared in another movie. He lives in the place where he was born, a mansion on a hill, until an Avon lady goes to sell some cosmetics. She discoverers Edward and decides to pull him down into the world he was secluded from.
And what a harsh world it is.
Edward is branded as a 'freak' because he doesn't fit in, simply because he doesn't have real hands. He falls in love but isn't sure if he can experience it because he's different. Everything he does is practically ruined because he can't experience life when everything he touches is sliced into pieces. It's somewhat like a modern Frankenstein, but with Danny Elfman's haunting melodies replacing Victor's curses to the heavens, it's more keen on using subtlety.
This is a classic because Edward just wants to fit in, which is exactly what we all want in life. There's a piece of Edward inside all of us, and we can feel Edward's pain as he struggles to fit in. This is a funny story, with Edward pruning hedges into T-Rexs, turning Husky dogs into poodles, and trimming flat and frizzy hair into works of art. This is a sad story, with Edward experiencing the death of his creator, the pain he's caused to everyone he's ever accidentally cut, and the way he won't be accepted into society. This is a story about love, and the hate that can consume it.
