Edward Scissorhands

With any Tim Burton film, you have to expected the production design, art direction, and costume design to be very different.  Edward Scissorhands is a prime example of classic Burton.  Everything about Edward stands out from the neighborhood where every single house is the same with a different solid shade of a pastel color.  From his dark, broken down mansion up a mountain to his black outfit, he is a complete contradiction from everyone else.  The second you see the design of his home you immediately know this person does not belong.  Very early in the movie the audience realizes how truly genuine and pure he is despite the sharp knives and scissors he has for hands.  He is so gentle with the lethal weapons attached to him he can cut a dogs hair.  When Edward does speak, which is barely ever, he talks in such a low and soft tone furthering the idea that he is completely harmless...well, until you try to kill him after you hurt the girl he loves.  The entire production brings out the sympathy for Ed needed to make this movie impressionable.
