《剪刀手愛德華》是一部關於機器人的現代童話。它講述一座古堡中住着一位發明家，製造出了各種東西，最後還造出了一個機器人，並給他起名叫愛德華。發明家對這件作品傾注了全部的心血，他甚至教授愛德華人類的禮儀和詩歌，何時微笑何時沉默。然而，沒有等到機器人最後完成，發明家就去世了，留下已有人類心智卻殘留着一雙剪刀手的愛德華獨自在古堡生活。不知過了多少歲月，一位推銷化妝品的中年女子佩格誤闖城堡，發現了形象古怪的愛德華。好心的佩格沒有被愛德華慘白的膚色和張牙舞爪的剪刀手嚇倒，而是憐其孤獨，把他帶回了自己的家。純潔的心靈在現實的世界無法生存，人類的自私貪婪容總是容不下它。

: You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren't up there now... I don't think it would be snowing. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it.
金：你看，在他來以前，這裏從來沒有下過雪，但後來下雪了。如果他不在那兒，我想就不會下雪了。有時你會看見我在雪中翩翩起舞。

the evening when the moon rises, the moon shine my doorstep, I hope to meet La Luna me a wish, I'd like a pair of human hands. I would like to put my hands of my lover tightly over at Wye Medium, even if only once. If I have never had a warm feeling of taste, maybe I will not cold; if I did not feel too sweet love, I maybe would not have to pain. If I did not encounter the kind-pei girl, if I have never not left my room, I would not know I was such a lonely
如果晚上月亮升起的時候，月光照到我的門口，我希望月光女神能滿足我一個願望，我想要一雙人類的手。我想用我的雙手把我的愛人緊緊地擁在懷中，哪怕只有一次。如果我從來沒有品嚐過溫暖的感覺，也許我不會這樣寒冷;如果我從沒有感受過愛情的甜美，我也許就不會這樣地痛苦。如果我沒有遇到善良的佩格，如果我從來不曾離開過我的房間，我就不會知道我原來是這樣的孤獨。
