How many of you liked Edward?


To those who say that everybody liked Edward, I think they're mistaken. Kim's boyfriend, Jim and the religious neighbor, Esmeralda didn't like him.

I thought he was very sweet and misunderstood. Granted, his appearance is unnerving, but his personality was very benign. It was a very moving and symbolic scene to show Kim ducking under his arm to get past his dangerous hands, so she could hug him :)

It’s one of the sweetest movies, and title characters, I’ve ever seen.

“Sometimes, I still dance in the snow.” So poignant. More than 20 years ago, on the Entertainment Weekly message boards on Pathfinder, a man posted (and this is a paraphrase), “I was a US Marine. If you don’t cry at the end of this movie, there is something wrong with you.”
