There is a man who was not born a man but made into one by a very old inventor. He was left all alone when the inventor died, but soon he was taking to a new place by a kind and friendly Avon lady. It was in this strange land that he learned what the real world was and the dangers it had, and how beautiful people could be in the inside and also on the outside.
The movie is Edward Scissorhands, It is such a beautifully done movie. When I see it I get more from it then was there for people to see. For me this movie means much more. This movie speaks to me in a different way. I can relate to the main character Edward. Edward is a outsider, he is different then the normal people he meets in the movie. Just like Edward I too am different. No I don't have scissor for hands like Edward, but i'm gay I am not normal to some people I am different because of what I am. Just like Edward in the movie I too had to learn to deal with people that have called me names or tried to use me just because of who and what I am. I also was taken to a different place where I learned how beautiful people can be on the inside and outside
No I wasn't taking to a city like Edward was, no for me my new place was my first gay night club and my Avon lady was my friend Martin through him I met new people and saw new things just like Edward did in the movie.
You could say that being different for Edward and me is hard. Sometimes it's hard and there are days where I wish i wasn't different. But how can I stop being who I am. Edward never changed who he was and what made him different. I guess just like in the movie I have to learn to take each day as it comes I know there will be some people who will not think of me as normal but what can I do? I am what I am. Edward never changed so why should I?
