Edward Scissorhands is the heartwarming story of a boy and the town who embraced him only to drive him out. Johnny Depp plays the title role. He was created by a scientist who died before he was finished, so Edward had scissors instead of hands. Well, the Avon lady finds him and brings him home, and all the neighbors are impressed except for one crazy lady (who is religious, as all crazy people in movies are) and Winona Ryder's ass of a boyfriend who sets Edward up in a bogus buglary attempt which makes the town lose trust in him. Winona falls in love, and the townspeople drive Edward out of town never to be seen again.
I thought the story was sappy and predictable. Johnny Depp got into his role quite well as always, but the story was lacking. I got two overall messages from the movie:
1. Only crazy people believe in God, and it is that crazy belief that causes all the unpleasantness in the world.
2. If an unsavory character moves into your town, the most fective way to get rid of him is to band together and forcefully drive him out, letting him know he's not welcome
