Edward Scissorhands (DVD 2005 Full Screen Anniversary Edition Bilingual) (0024543218159)

In Tim Burton's EDWARD SCISSORHANDS a suburban fairy tale with incredibly imaginative sets an Avon lady Peg Boggs (Dianne Wiest) discovers the half-finished experiment--a man/monster named Edward (Johnny Depp)--of a mad scientist (played magically by Vincent Price) living in the neighborhood's old abandoned castle. The scientist died before replacing the shy man's large shears with real hands. When Peg attempts to bring Edward into her suburban world to live among her skeptical family (husband Alan Arkin and daughter Winona Ryder) and gossipy neighbors his hands--dangerous yet capable of creating things of great beauty--make for some awkward funny and poignant situations: Edward as a topiary gardener Edward as a cutting-edge hair stylist. EDWARD SCISSORHANDS is a story about tolerance difference and creativity as much as it is a story of a young man's coming of age (the young man in question is of course a monster). In the ironically surreal world of Edward's suburban community he must try to find his place in it and in the world at large.
