When was edward scissorhands released on dvd

An elderly inventor [Vincent Price] created the man, giving him all the body parts required of a human except hands, for the inventor died before he could finish his creation Edward Scissorhands [Johnny Depp] lived alone in the castle for many years until one day someone raps hard at the door and in walks the local Avon Lady, Peg [Dianne Wiest].

Disheartened by the way Edward is living, she invites him to leave the damp and dismal castle and live with her family back in colorful suburbia He quickly falls in love with their daughter, Kim [Winona Ryder]an d astounds the neighborhood with his 'chopping talents' that range from topiary to haircutting.

But it soon becomes obvious that his scissor-hands are deadly sharp Throughout the film Edward is transformed from freak to celebrity and inevitably back to freak once more, as the townspeople - who are initially enchanted by his oddball talents - soon tire of him.

Once trouble rears its ugly head - mainly in the shape of Kim's jealous boyfriend, Jim [Anthony Michael Hall] - Edward is rendered an outcast once more Like Mary Shelley's creation, Edward is the Other, an outsider who knows little about life in the real world and finds it equally hard to adapt to his new life and surroundings; he is extremely naive and vulnerable, imaginative yet misunderstood like many of the characters in Tim Burton's films [see Ed Wood].

For the film's setting, Burton offers two strikingly different locations - a stereotypical s suburban village and a Gothic castle - which works perfectly when comparing the uninspiring and viciously petty suburbanites to the lonely gentle spirit that is Edward.

Ghost BookFiends. Read full review. When an Avon Lady Dianne Wiesst from an over-suburbanized, pastel world of sameness, goes to a creepy castle to make a sale, she finds a Gothic Johnny Depp, Edward, whose creator, Vincent Price, dies leaving him with scissorhands and ultimately socially isolated. Peg, being utterly suburbanite stupid but caring, takes Scissorhands into her public world and out of his private one. The deliberate exaggerated sameness-difference between his former surroundings in a spooky castle with Price "fathering" him, and sickening-all-the-same suburbia is hysterically amusing as a cynical social commentary.

As is the way that the neighbors of Peg's and her family respond to a scissorhanded freak of sub-culture. Edward Scissorhands, like the more contemporary "Powder" is a surrealist's tale that deal s with social intolerance like "Powder" does , genius like "Powder" does , and a uburbanite supremacism that believes its sameness is superior and an authority over difference as "Powder" does. In this way, Depp delivers a silent message in a Gothic style that is as memorable as can be.

Most unfortunately, this was 82yo Vincent Price's last screen role: as Scissorhand's creator. The brief beginning interactions between Price and Depp are well worth noting as classic acting. I call this one a must see for everyone, any and every age. Especially important for bullies and those taunted by them to see, as "Powder" is. Well beyond the surface themes are heavy social lessons.

This is my all-time favorite movie ever made. The storyline is enlightening but real which makes it so much more incredibly sad. To think that while this is a fictional character there are people in all parts of the world who are not accepted just because of the way they look. When Avon lady Peg Boggs Dianne Wiest pays a visit to the local castle, she discovers Edward Johnny Depp - a half-finished, mechanical man with scissors for hands. She takes him home to her suburban neighbourhood where his exotic appeal and prodigious topiary skills make him a celebrity.

However, prejudice against the unfamiliar soon takes its toll on the shy misfit. When will my order arrive? We will aim to dispatch pre-orders so that you receive them on the release date.
