I loved everything about this film. It is a classic Tim Burton film about an eccentric outsider, this time a man created by an inventor who died before he had chance to give him hands. Edward is sweet, quiet and completely naive about the way society works. He is taken in by a perky 1950's housewife and falls in love with her daughter.The visual language in the film is very strong- the gothic castle of the benign professor who uses his great machines to make cookies is a direct contrast to the pastel coloured neighbourhood of the bored and bitchy housewives. Burton demonstrates the damage caused by narrow-mindedness and the sheep mentality in society and proves that outsiders can be loveable.
