	The Tim Burton Collective - Edward Scissorhands Allegory
		Edward is constantly cutting and scarring his own face accidentally; this scarring could represent the emotional scarring of failed social attempts caused by inability to subtly manipulate social situations.
		Edward also feels an odd compulsion to cut or groom things, sometimes to distraction, as in the scene where he stops to snip at a hedge while on his way to break into Jim’s father’s house.
		It is important to note that the character of Edward Scissorhands is probably not intended to have Asperger’s Syndrome; merely the allegorical construct is representative of the difficulties facing an individual with Asperger’s Syndrome.

		As a result, Edward's innocent mistakes are interpreted as malicious acts by the people of the neighborhood leading to his ultimate downfall in which those who Edward had trusted and loved reveal their underlying fear and misunderstanding along with their selfish motivations for befriending him (such as availing themselves of his artistic abilities).
		Similarities and common plot developments are also seen between Edward Scissorhands and the classic story Beauty and the Beast; in both, a misunderstood and visually frightening (but nonetheless emotionally sensitive) "beast" earns the affection of the lead female character (in these cases also an ingénue) while becoming the object of the townspeople's derision and hatred.
		Edward Scissorhands was apparently inspired in part by the 19th Century German children's nursery character 'Shock-headed Peter', from the the book Struwwelpeter authored by Heinrich Hoffman.

	EDWARD SCISSORHANDS - A TASTE OF GOTHIC STEAMPUNK
		Edward Scissorhands is not a realistic film: instead it is a parable of isolation and acceptance examining the way we react to those who are different from us.
		Edward certainly appears to be the beast but in reality is probably the purest and most honest character in the story.
		The figure of Edward Scissorhands is a lonely one, but within the character numerous aspects of alienation, loneliness and misunderstanding are explored in an extremely thoughtful way, and the Gothic Steampunk nature of the retro - technology within the film, that at first appears to enhance dread and Horror, actually transforms into a strange beauty.

	Edward Scissorhands DVD : Read reviews and compare prices at Ciao.co.uk
		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).
		Edward lives alone in the same gothic castle that he was created in, and hasn’t been outside the gates of the castle at all.
		Edward Scissorhands is one of his finest, a slight tale which retreads the Beauty and the Beast formula, but with magnificent wit and imagination.

	Classic-Horror Review of Edward Scissorhands (1990)
		Edward Scissorhands is a fairy tale/fable that lies somewhere between a retelling of Frankenstein and Pinocchio.
		To an extent, Edward Scissorhands is a critique of conformity.
		In the end, Edward Scissorhands is ultimately a tragedy, but one that rests in more of a melancholy resignation at the realization that some things just won't mesh and are best left as they were, apart from the conventional wisdom which will keep chugging away and perhaps admire the square pegs from a safe distance.

	DVD Verdict Review - Edward Scissorhands
		Edward is a role that demands such dedication to the acting craft, for very little of his emotional state is expressed verbally.
		Edward Scissorhands was one of the first hints that he could play an evil character, at least until he played Bill Gates in the TV movie Pirates Of The Silicon Valley.
		Edward Scissorhands may not be one of their "five-star" discs, but it is certainly a disc worthy of being called a "special edition." The film is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Edward Scissorhands: 10th Anniversary Edition
		Tim Burton's 1990 Edward Scissorhands is presented as a fairy tale, beginning with an aged Winona Ryder telling her granddaughter a bedtime story.
		But story-wise, Edward Scissorhands veers madly from transcendent beauty to wacky humor to depressing fatalism, leaving the viewer with the frustrating sense that Burton doesn't quite understand what the idea of a fairy tale is really all about.
		Edward falls in love with Kim for no reason other than that she's pretty, and her action during the film defy sympathy.

	Filmtracks: Edward Scissorhands (Danny Elfman)
		Edward Scissorhands: (Danny Elfman) The times for Tim Burton would never be better, with the immense success of Batman proving his financial viability and a sequel on the way to continue building upon that reputation.
		Edward Scissorhands is one of Elfman's few scores (if not the only completely effective one) that balances the best of both the zany quirkiness of his early scores and the thematic enchantment of those that would follow.
		The true heart of Edward Scissorhands, though, is provided by the boy's chorus that brilliantly carries the imaginative elements of story and is rarely absent for longer than a minute or two in the score.

	Blu-ray Review: Edward Scissorhands \| High-Def Digest
		'Edward Scissorhands' is essentially a retelling of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" with an angst-ridden splash of suburban satire thrown in for flavor.
		Edward isn't a hero or a villain per se; instead he serves as a catalyst that exposes the true nature of the other characters.
		Edward may be an exaggerated caricature of pain and rejection, but the director somehow manages to make a man with scissor hands seem entirely familiar.

	'Edward Scissorhands'
		Edward Scissorhands" is enchantment on the cutting edge, a dark yet heartfelt portrait of the artist as a young mannequin from the creator of "Beetlejuice," "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" and "Batman." Tim Burton remains the Wizard of Odd with this eye-filling if problematic confection.
		Edward is a disarming waif with his white Kabuki makeup and wild nest of coal-fl hair, and his mild-mannered temperament is directly at odds with his deformity.
		But Edward's dilemma is far more complex than it first seems, for his handicap and his talent are of a piece.

	Tim Burton Dream Site - Edward Scissorhands
		Edward Scissorhands lives in a gothic mansion at the top of a hill, below him a suburban town looking very much like a nightmarish vision from the 1960's, where pink and yellow houses nest, neatly grouped together each looking as identical as the inhabitants that live and breathe beneath the roofs.
		Edward himself has never asked to be created in the manner he was, he is an innocent young man, gentle and greatly gifted, he has a beauty and heart that is found rarely in life.
		Edward Swissorhands depicts in both humourous ways and dark ones, how life can be if you are different, with Edward on the far end of the scale.

	Edward Scissorhands: 10th Anniversary Edition (1990)
		Edward lived alone in the darkness until one day a kind Avon lady took him home to live with her family.
		Prior to the late 1990 release of Edward Scissorhands, I was already pretty firmly in the bag for director Tim Burton.
		Their release of Edward Scissorhands doesn't compare with packed titles like Fight Club or Titus, but Fox add a few nice supplements to this DVD.

	edward scissorhands <edwardscissor>
		Edward Scissorhands is the magnum opus of Tim Burton's and Danny Elfman's career.
		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.
		Edward is branded as a 'freak' because he doesn't fit in, simply because he doesn't have real hands.

	DVD Review - Edward Scissorhands
		From his prototype stages, Edward still has scissors as hands and just as the mad scientist works to replace the scissors with real hands he is struck by a heart attack and dies in front of Edward’s eyes.
		Before long she realizes that Edward is all by himself in the castle and she takes him to stay with her and her family.
		From the character of Edward, to the looming castle and the peculiar small town Suburbia, everything is stylized to extremes.

	Reel.com: Edward Scissorhands
		Scissorhands is nothing less than Burton's spiritual autobiography a fairy tale of the "otherness" felt by every high school geek, created by one misfit who managed to find his way into a wider world where he could make that otherness pay.
		The simple, mythic power of Edward's predicament — with blades in place of fingers, he injures everything he touches — speaks to the teenage alienation, which was so clearly a part of Burton's early life, and to the fear shared by many creative people that what makes them special also sets them apart.
		Anchored by a stunning, Chaplin-esque performance from Johnny Depp, Edward Scissorhands is a work of style, whimsy, and substance, made by a director at the height of his visual powers.

	DVD Review - Edward Scissorhands: 10th Anniversary Edition
		Edward's job was to cut celery and he was very good at it.
		Edward, full of this new found creativity, would cut all the bushes in the yard into majestic animals, mythical creatures and playful children.
		Edward watched her from the shadows and wanted to talk with her, but couldn't get the sounds out.

	The Tim Burton Collective - Edward Scissorhands
		Scissorhands is arguably Burton’s most personal film, a moving portrait of an artistic outsider who cannot touch what he desires without destroying it.
		Edward is the most normal person in the movie and it is the twisted townsfolk who are the true monsters, resulting in his loss of innocence.
		Edward represents, among other things: the unconditional love of an animal; a childlike sense of wonder; an adolescent's clumsiness and someone who longs to touch others without hurting them.

	FlickFilosopher.com: Edward Scissorhands (review)
		Edward Scissorhands, one of my favorite films (though that could be said of just about every film Burton has made*) and one that touches me deeply, isn't overtly a Christmas movie, but it does touch on the grimmer side of the religion that currently dominates the much more ancient tradition of a midwinter celebration.
		But Edward is gentle and sweet, despite his frightening appearance, and the good-hearted Peg adopts him instantly, taking him home to live with her and her family.
		Nor is it coincidence that the super-religious neighbor Esmeralda (O-Lan Jones: The Truman Show, The End of Violence), ignored early on when she denounces Edward as Satanic and calls for her neighbors to "trample down the perversion of nature," is later acknowledged to have been "right" in her estimation of the stranger.

	Edward Scissorhands \| Movie Review \| Entertainment Weekly
		Edward, who is wrapped from head to toe in shiny, spiked leather, has a bit of a punk look to him; he's like an angelic version of Sid Vicious.
		Edward takes great care to keep them politely folded, but they're unwieldy, and his face is covered with self-inflicted scars.
		When Edward falls in love with Wiest's cheerleader daughter (Winona Ryder) and comes into conflict with her thuggish jock boyfriend (Anthony Michael Hall), the fairy-tale structure clearly points to Edward's finally confronting the latent violence in his hands.

	Amazon.ca: Edward Scissorhands: Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Kathy Baker, ...
		Edward Scissorhands is a typical Burton film in its originality and is probably one of the best he has made to date.
		Edward's isolation is interrupted by the local Avon lady (Dianne Weiss) who decides he needs to be taken under her wing and promptly moves him into her home and attempts to integrate him into the local community.
		Edward is brilliantly portrayed by Johnny Depp who demonstrates a tremendous ability to show his thoughts and emotions without speaking.

	Arts & Entertainment \| "Scissorhands" makes the cut as a hybrid of dance and drama \| Seattle Times Newspaper
		A scene from "Edward Scissorhands." The U.S. tour of this witty, gothic fairytale began in L.A. and plays The 5th Avenue April 25 — May 13, 2007.
		Edward becomes an object of fascination to clonelike lawn-mowing hubbies and gossipy housewives, especially when they realize he can snip up imaginative hairdos and topiary in a jiffy.
		"Edward Scissorhands" also can serve as an allegory about the alien status of the artist in a culture of conformity; or as a quasi-Freudian study of a boy/man who longs for love, but whose embrace may prove lethal.
