Ok,
So some deeply involved procrastination today led me to think about Michael Jackson, and what connection he might have to the movie Edward Scissorhands.
For those of you who don't know, Edward Scissorhands is a modern day fairy tale which tells the story of Edward, the man created by an inventor, who died before finishing him and left Edward with scissors where he should have hands. One day when the local "Avon" representative calls at the historic mansion where Edward has been living alone, she takes him home to stay with her family. He has to adapt to the new life and environment that he isn't used to. Soon he shows a talent in cutting hair and hedges, and wins every body's heart. But life isn't always so sweet...
Soon, the people that once loved Edward turn on him. They begin accusing him of things he hasn't done, they start fabricating lies about him. Eventually, it becomes to much for Edward, and he is chased from the place he once called home, where he was once accepted. He escapes back to his mansion, where he decides the only thing he can do to prevent the people from vilifying him further is to fake his death, so he does. The girl he loved, Kim, tells the neighborhood that Edward is dead, and they believe her. She acts as his cover.
Now, reread that, replacing the words -
Edward Scissorhands with Michael Jackson
and
The girls he loved, Kim with Everyone involved in the conspiracy.
The inventor in the story represents his father, Joe, and the scissors represent Michael's talent. Michael was exposed to this new lifestyle as a Star just as a child, and he had to adapt quickly, but the people loved him for what he did.
If Michael is alive, the story of Edward Scissorhands is eerily similar, wouldn't you agree?
Thanks for your time,
God Bless,
Nick

Not much is known about the man that invented Edward. He is only seen briefly in the movie, but you're right. Joe wasn't kind to Michael whereas the man in the movie was to Edward.
You're exactly right in everything else you say, Thanks for adding it to the topic.
God Bless

I hope this does't mean we have to wait until Christmas...AGAIN!!! <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I think that if Michael is alive, he'll reveal himself well before that time.
along with Johnny Depp and goes back to Alice in Wonderland...it's all so crazy, but i love it <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
