关于《剪刀手爱德华》的英语影评，

Once upon a time, an inventor lived in an old castle isolated on top of a hill. He created many ingenious devices and one day, he decided to create a man whom he call Edward. The good-natured scientist took care of him like if he was his own son, but he was old and died before he could complete him. Left all alone with scissors instead of human hands, Edward remains in the castle until he is befriended by Peg, a woman from the neighbouring town who feels pity for his loneliness and decides to bring him to her home. His difference quickly becomes an obstacle which prevent him from being fully accepted as a member of society. Soon, the unsuspecting Edward, becomes the focus of much gossip and awakes either curiosity, hilarity, anger or fear amongst the whole neighbourhood. Also, his innocence and good nature make him an easy victim for the unscrupulous. His artistic talent are exploited by all. And as he falls in love with Peg's daughter, she abuses his kindness and tricks him into helping her and her boyfriend burglar a house. His initial naivety leaves place to feelings of frustration, reject and revolt at people's ways. Edward also comes to realise, that he can be dangerous to others, that he is unable to even touch others without inadvertently harming them because of the sharpness of the blades he has instead of hands. Soon false rumours start spreading. People begin to fear him and wish him away. This is a wonderful tale about love and kindness, but also about rejection and estrangement. It shows the limits of people's tolerance for what is different from them and how strangers, those who stray from the norm, commonly named 'misfits', awake mockery or fear from a society which will use them and ultimately reject them, thus breaking their innocence and goodness. Though a harsh satire of people's vices, such as deceit, gossip, jealousy, hypocrisy, as well as a tragic witness to the pain and frustration linked to being unable to be accepted as one is by others, the tone is still infused with an ever constant sweetness, gentleness and innocence. The acting is impeccable. Depp's performance as Edward is truly touching and Keaton and Price's characters are full of gentleness. Their good-nature shows humanity at its best while some other characters efficiently show its least pleasant aspects. The photography is quite beautiful and is thematically based on a strong contrast between Edward's universe, the dark noiseless castle, strongly influenced by the gothic visual style, with the town, filled with bright colours and voices. The apparently gloomy castle is in fact a shelter from the seemingly happy outside world, which is in fact, much darker and sinister underneath its bright colours. The music is simply great, Danny Elfman being one of the most talented contemporary composer. His style is at times moving, soft, wild, silly, weird and crazy. He has worked on many musical soundtracks since, but this one is probably the most beautiful he ever created.

影评：《剪刀手爱德华》：一部永恒的经典
《剪刀手爱德华》是一部由鬼才导演蒂姆·波顿执导，约翰尼·德普、薇诺娜·瑞德、黛安娜·维斯特等实力派演员联袂主演的经典电影。自1990年首映以来，它以其独特的叙事方式、深刻的主题和出色的视觉效果，赢得了无数观众的喜爱和赞誉。
这部电影的故事情节引人入胜，讲述了一个发生在20世纪末的关于爱、遗憾和孤独的故事。爱德华是一个被发现并抚养在一家发廊的机器人，他拥有剪刀手，可以熟练地剪出各种发型。然而，由于他的与众不同，他被发现并不是一个完美的存在。在和发廊老板的女儿相爱的同时，他也陷入了与人类的矛盾冲突中。
影片充满了蒂姆·波顿式的暗黑幽默和哥特式的元素，使观众在欣赏美的同时，也能感受到影片背后深深的哀愁。这其中，爱德华的角色塑造尤其引人注目。他既是一个悲剧英雄，又是一个淘气的小丑，他的存在让人们无法忽视社会对于异类的排斥和恐惧。
影片的视觉效果也值得一提。特别是在爱德华的造型设计上，波顿的团队巧妙地将机械与人性相结合，塑造出一种既神秘又可爱的形象。此外，影片中的色彩运用和搭配也极具匠心，如爱德华的蓝眼睛、金色的剪刀手，以及发廊中的各种鲜艳色彩，都为影片增添了丰富的视觉元素。
最后，我想说，《剪刀手爱德华》不仅仅是一部电影，更是一个关于人性、异类和爱的永恒话题。它让我们思考：在这个充满各种差异的世界中，我们如何看待和接受不同，如何找到自己的归属。这部电影无疑是一部艺术的杰作，也是我们时代的反思。无论你是电影爱好者，还是对人文话题感兴趣的观众，都不应错过这部经典之作。
