Edward Scissorhands

This weekend when I traveled home for fall break I came home to a house without internet and TV. It was very quite, peaceful and a little boring sometimes. Thursday night my mom and I came home from dinner and decided to watch a movie from my brother's collection. Since I've seen most of them, I was looking for one I have never seen. The first one that caught my eyes was "Edward Scissorhands", when I asked my mom if she has ever seen it she said, "You haven't!". We immediately decided to watch it. The first few scenes is an old lady telling her grandchild a bedtime story about this old, scary house up on the hill that you can vaguely see out the window behind her. It then shots to a shot of a hand knocking on a door and someone saying "Hello! Avon lady!" The door opens to a housewife with curlers in her hair, and it zooms out as the Avon lady gets denied and walks away. You then see all the houses throughout the neighborhood are all painted a different color but are all the same built (I thought this was pretty funny)/ We then follow the Avon lady to a couple more houses where she also gets turned away and ends up in her car disappointed. It then cuts to her rear view mirror and zooms in where you see the house at the top of the hill, she proceeds to drive up to the house. When she arrives at the door, after a few knocks and no answers she lets herself in and as she introduces herself it echoes through the dark, scary house. She asks, "Is anyone here?" and there was no reply, being the noisy housewife she is, she starts to walk up the spiral staircase. Which leads her to this wide-open room, where she finds a scared Edward in the corner. She promises she isn't going to hurt him and he proceeds to come out. The Avon lady sees that he had scissors for hands and decides that he can not live up there all by himself and he needs to come home with her right away. Without a question we cut to them in her car driving away from the house and towards heres. Before they can even pull into the driveway all of the other housewives spot Edward in her car and start to gossip with all of the other ladies on the street. She gets Edward in the house without being seen and begins to get him all cleaned up and gives him normal clothing. One of the funniest parts in the movie is when the Avon lady tries to cover all of Edwards scrapes on his face from the scissors with all of her Avon products. He just sits there helplessly with all of the goop on his face. Once everyone in the neighborhood finds out who Edward is and his specialty, they have him trimming all of their bushes in to a piece of artwork. This quickly changes to everyone starting to think he is a bad person, when truly he has the sweetest heart and is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The ending of the movie is bittersweet. Everyone wants Edward killed and they think that happens but he just goes back to his house on the hill. This is where you fin out that the old lady from the begining of the movie is the Avon lady's daughter who falls in love with Edward and reveals that he is dead to all of the neighbors to save him from the real world; even though he was ready to be out in the world, the world was not ready for him and that is truly sad.
