Edward Scissorhands (1990)

I always felt sympathy for Edward. Probably because he doesn't talk much, and neither do I. He's a "fish out of water" in a place that he doesn't understand, but rather than complain he just goes along with everything. 

Unfortunately, things aren't that smooth in paradise, as the town bully - apparently the only one who can feel anger - takes a disliking to him. It's shot well and acted fine, but the best thing bar none about this film is the music. To use film review words, its haunting, evocative, you know, stuff like that. Except in this case, it actually is.
