Still makes me cry

Borrowed a few movies from the library last night. One was Edward Scissorhands because my pie hadn't seen it yet. I love introducing new things to Emmaline. I think people forget that there are things in this world that we take for granted every day that are absolutely new for our children. Something old and mundane can strike a child in such a way that one would think that the child just witnessed the creation of the earth.

Now, I love Edward Scissorhands. Always have. But it's one of the saddest, most horrible movies. There is no happily ever after. Beautiful film. I love it. But really think about what the movie is about: superficial people who jump on the proverbial bandwagon because of the "it" factor only to discard it when it doesn't cater to their superflous, malign lifestyle. Edward ends up where he started, hidden in the mansion. Only he's lonelier because he met people, loved people, and lost people. And under the premise of protecting him from the world and to save him from changing into the grotesque masses below him.

He's alone. He still has scissors for hands. The girl he loves didn't have the courage to defy the lemmings. What did he get?

I like the movie because I loved the main character. I want to embrace him every time and make his life better. BUT IT PISSES ME OFF!!! I cry every friggin time at the outcome.
