Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder in Tim Burton’s classic, a movie that is impossible not to love. Today we are reminiscent of the cult production of American cinema.
The film tells the story of a sensitive, gentle young man who was created as an android by a genius scientist who once lived in a gloomy castle on a hill. This place contrasts with the rest of the town, which is full of happy families, living in colorful houses and leading ordinary human lives. All of this is disrupted when the sales rep, Peg Boggs, shows up at the castle. She takes the lonely Edward to her home, despite the huge knives left by his creator instead of his hands. Peg’s family shows him a lot of support and sympathy, despite the distrust of other residents. The protagonist soon falls in love with the hostess’s teenage daughter (with reciprocity) and gains the respect of his neighbors by making use of his blades. So he becomes one of the best hairdressers and gardeners in the area,
