Hola !! Bienvenidos queridos visitantes 🎥🎞️ | Hello!! Welcome dear visitors 🎥🎞️

I watched this movie for the tenth time and wanted to share this review with you, giving you a bit of the story in case you haven't seen it yet, although I doubt it since it was a very popular film in the 90s. This is one of my favorite Tim Burton movies after Alice in Wonderland. This film brings back many memories, especially the first time I saw it in my teens. It reminded me a lot of the character of Edward and how that resonated with my personality at the time. In the movie, Edward is described as someone outside of society, withdrawn, far from the world, and living alone in the castle where he resides. The story begins when a cosmetics saleswoman named Peg enters a dilapidated mansion to sell her beauty products. Upon entering, she encounters Edward, a young man who was created from a robot and left unfinished after his creator's death, with scissors instead of hands. Moved by his kindness and innocence, Peg decides to take him home.

No one in her family (her husband Bill and son Kevin) seems uncomfortable with Edward's presence, and even the neighbors are intrigued by Peg's mysterious guest. However, when Peg's eldest daughter, Kim, arrives, a series of problems arise, as she does feel uneasy about Edward in the house. Edward falls in love with her. However, she has a boyfriend, Jim, who, in a way, prevents Kim from discovering her feelings for Edward. Because of his innocence, many of Peg's neighbors take advantage of him, making him cut their hair or prune their gardens, sculpting fantastical figures.

Edward is feared by almost everyone around him, except the Boggs family.While the family puts up the Christmas decorations, Edward creates an ice sculpture of an angel. Ice shavings fall, as if it were snowing, and Kim begins to dance beneath the snow. Jim calls Edward, distracting him, and he accidentally cuts Kim's hand. Jim yells that he did it on purpose and uses this as an opportunity to attack Edward, consumed by jealousy. When Kim sees him, she tells him it's over. Jim leaves, consumed by jealousy and rage, and goes to his friend's truck where they drink. Edward returns to the house with Kim, and she asks him to hug her, but he says he can't (because of his hands). Even so, she hugs him.

Meanwhile, Jim gets drunk with his friend, and they drive to Kim's house in his friend's truck. At the same time, Kim's brother, who was at a friend's house, heads over. The situation escalates when Kevin is nearly run over by Jim's drunk friend. Edward pushes Kevin out of the way, accidentally cutting his face and causing the whole neighborhood to panic. Edward flees back to the gothic mansion where Peg found him, and the neighbors follow him, despite Peg's pleas to leave him alone.

Kim runs to Edward's mansion, while Jim gets a gun and follows her. At the dilapidated mansion, Jim ambushes Edward and fights him; Edward refuses to fight until Jim slaps Kim when she tries to intervene. Enraged, Edward stabs Jim in the stomach and violently pushes him out of a window, killing him.

Kim confesses her love to Edward and kisses him before she leaves. As the police and neighbors arrive, Kim deceives them, convincing them that Jim and Edward killed each other, and shows them scissors similar to Edward's. All the neighbors return to their homes. In the end, the old woman turns out to be Kim. After a moment of composure, she tells her granddaughter that it's snowing because Edward is alive and sculpting ice statues. Her granddaughter suggests that if he's still there, she can still go back and see him, but Kim replies that she doesn't want to because she's old now and prefers that he remember her as she was before. She also notes that she won't forget that it had never snowed before when he arrived.

In conclusion, "Edward Scissorhands" is one of the films that has moved me the most. Its plot and romance were among the things I loved, in addition to Edward's personality and how much he learned to live in a society where he was not well-accepted. Without a doubt, Edward Scissorhands leaves us with a wonderful lesson in acceptance. It teaches us not to be afraid of other people's sensitivities and to look deeper into their hearts, not judging them by their nationality, race, disability, color, or social standing. It teaches us to appreciate the great effort they make to try to survive in a society and a world that tends to see only the superficial and not what truly matters: the heart of a person. With this, we reach the end of this review, and I'll leave you with a bit of the trailer for this exciting and wonderful film that I would watch many more times. ❤️
