Edward Scissorhands

This next post is yet another Movie this time the tragedy is not a death but that of an immortal life.  The story of Edward Scissorhands is one of what you would call a man, although his humanity is questionable, at the very least he was crafted in man's image and that is close enough here.  The story of a man who entered the world to grow alone and isolated, with no interaction, no friendship and no love.  All these things he grew without Edward comes to experience through the course of the Movie but the tragedy here is that he loses all these things thanks to the jealousy and resentment of others and in the end he must live alone again in solitude with only the memories of that brief time to sustain him.

That oft quoted saying "it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" comes into play here and the true extent of the tragedy here is debatable by whichever side you take, whether you agree or disagree will decide how much sorrow you attach to Edward's fate.

It has been years since I first watched this Movie and here I link the trailer, once again I hope you enjoy.
