This is so hard to do because there are so many movies that I like and it’s really hard to choose which ones are my favorites. My first Favorite would have to be “Edward Scissorhands”. It’s directed by Tim Burton so of course it would be one of my favorites.
It’s a cute little story that tells of how snow came to be. It takes place in what looks like a bland 1960’s suburbia. The only difference between any of the houses it probably the color! There is a young make up saleswoman named Joyce who found Edward after trying to get a sales pitch from an old mansion that was once owned by an old inventor, who died before he could finish his latest invention, Edward. You see, Edward is a machine who looks like a man with scissor hands. Anyways Edward ends up falling in love with a young woman named Kim, and soon she with him. Edward becomes very popular throughout the suburbia because he is very talented with his hands. That is, up until Jim (Kim’s boyfriend) startles Edward and he ends up injuring Kim. She knew it was an accident so she had a fight with Jim while Edward escaped back to the mansion where he was made. Although Jim went after him in means to kill Edward. Edward ended up killing Jim and throwing him out the window in the attic. Kim saw the whole thing and quickly grabbed a spare hand that the old inventor hadn’t used and proclaimed to the citizens that they had killed each other to save Edward. In any case Edward makes large ice sculptures every year in the attic on his memories in suburbia. As a result of all the shavings caused by Edward’s constant carving, the suburbia gets snow throughout the entire frigid season.
I really do love this movie because it’s creepy and it’s beautiful in it’s own way. I also like the face that it tells how snow came to be.
