Edward Scissorhands in Concert

About

Released in 1990 and directed by Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas), the film centers on Edward (Johnny Depp), a gentle artificial man with scissors for hands. Orphaned and unfinished by his creator (Vincent Price in his final role), Edward longs for connection and is coaxed into joining the town’s pastel suburban community. At first a sensation amidst the uniformity, his uniqueness eventually sparks jealousy and suspicion among the neighbors. Along the way, Edward develops a tender romance with Kim (Winona Ryder). Edward Scissorhands is celebrated for its poignant exploration of acceptance, enduring love, and the challenges of being misunderstood.
