Edward, emblematic character of Tim Burton
Edward Scissorhands is the main character of the eponymous film by Tim Burton. Made in 1990, it marks the first collaboration of the director with the actor Johnny Depp and will remain one of his most emblematic films. Edward is a boy created by an inventor living in a gothic castle on top of a hill. The inventor will give him a heart to breathe life into him, but he will die of a heart attack before he has time to finish it. Edward was left with scissors and blades for hands. A few years later, Peg, a cosmetics representative, comes to the castle. Finding him alone in this dilapidated castle, she decides to bring him back to her family where he will quickly fall in love with her daughter, the pretty Kim (played by Wynona Ryder). At first he is well accepted by the community but they all end up turning against him. Only his family will remain loyal to him, but he will be forced to return to the castle. Edward is the Burtonian character par excellence. He is at the same time gothic, poetic, artistic and totally out of step with normal” people.
