Edward Scissorhands: a Christmas tale by Tim Burton

Edward Scisssorhands was a Christmas film by Tim Burton released originally in December 7, 1990. The film was a blockbuster at the time as well as the beginning of a fruitful relationship between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. As it is always the case with this director, this is not a common story nor it fits the cliché of Christmas films. The film tells the story of Edward (Johnny Depp), a strange character with scissors instead of hands who lives isolated from the world until the joyful Peg (Dianne Wiest), a housemaid and Avon seller, crosses his path. Peg takes Edward to live with her family in a neighborhood where everything seems perfect and where not everyone is so willing to accept Edward as Peg. Edward comes to meet Peg’s daughter, Kim (Winona Rider), and instantly falls in love with her. From this moment on he will try to do anything to earn Kim’s heart.
