Cutting Edge Fairy Tale Nov 23, 2006
I cannot think of a trio more suited to work together than Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Vincent Price.This film really proves it.Vincent Price leaves us with a gift in his last feature film role, as a good hearted inventor who dies before he can finish his last project.
Edward(Johnny Depp) was his masterpiece, now left to live alone in a big dark castle on a hill, and what's worse with only multi sheared hands to fend for himself. His face is battered with the scars from scratching himself. He's really in need of help and a good makeover! It's his lucky day,...Peg(Diane Wiest) the neighborhood Avon Lady has come to call.She takes pity on him and decides to adopt him.The neighborhood gossips are abuzz, but eventually come to accept him because, well, he's just so good with his hands! But..Can he survive life in the real world? Will he find love?
Tim Burton's film will have you thinking you are watching a fairy tale out of a beautifully illustrated story book. The neighborhood is wonderfully done in beautiful pastels that are in sharp contrast to the dark castle on the hill.Edward is like a Knight come to save the fair princess(Winona Ryder) from her evil boyfriend. Diane Wiest could be the fairy-godmother trying to transform Edward into a handsome prince.It's a wonderful story with wonderful characters.
The cast includes the always perfect Alan Arkin, and Kathy Baker is terrific as the neighborhood sex kitten.Danny Elfman's score is put beautifully to the story. And of course the effects and make up created by Stan Winston are marvelous.
And they lived happily ever after..or did they?.....enjoy....Laurie
