Tim Burton, who grew up in Burbank, California, once made a film called The Corpse Bride, a while after the oblique, twisted movie, Coraline. It has received many fantastic comments, praising Johnny Depp's fantastic role. Tim Burton is a sensation as the director of this film, and continues with the success he had with Victor Van Dort (Johnny Depp) in the Corpse Bride. But get ready, the eccentric Tim Burton has given you a movie that will cut your heart-strings.

Edward is a robot, who has scissors for temporary hands. Unfortunately, before he is given "normal" hands, his father dies. Edward (Johnny Depp) tells anyone who asks him "He never woke up!" A diminutive Avon Lady (Dianne Wiest) then visits the abandoned mansion where Edward lives. She takes him home and makes him feel welcome, whilst the neighbours take advantage of the fact that Edward can do a lot of arts and craft such as cutting hedges and chopping the groceries for dinner etc.. Edward can also style the women's hair when not grooming their beastly, but cuddly, puppies.

My least favourite part of the film is the fact that everyone ends up realising Edward's prominence when they accept the "fact" that he is "dead". They never had him as a friend; they still only wanted him alive to carry on taking advantage of him. They were not good people and they definitely, were not true friends to him.

I think that the film's moral is teaching you not to be self-conscious, no matter how different you are and to be proud. And for the people who did not care for him, treat people the way you want to be treated, especially if they are shy, since they are insecure because of their differences. In my opinion, this movie deserves 4 stars out of 5. Why? Because it has a really unbelievable, phenomenal way to melt your core.
