I found this an amazing grate film, i found it really funny at first, and how all the neighbors greeted him with open arms. it's also funny with in how the chemistry at the start worked, you have the Avon lady who was seen as not important at the beginning scene, but then by bringing in Edward she became popular all of a sudden, but on how they all swarmed over him. this film also is set on the old American perfect dream of the 1950's-60's; of pastel colored houses and perfect neighborhoods. This film also takes the idea of the disruptive tanager, what was also a view of the 1950's-60's and on how with in this neighborhood, everything wasn't so perfect due only just by him being set up, he was automatically accused and he was the biggest baddest point of the town. you also recognized everyone knew each other through phone and all new each other on the street and around town. When the police arrive on the scene, you find that the officer becomes the peace maker and try's to calm the situation, (as it is their general job). But again they accept him for what he is.
Simualy to our latest film, I found the cars or vehicles fake, box like or cartoon like.
The end is where all else fails, and is then seen like a monster, due to him being set up by the teenager, all the way through the film you get to really feel for Edward; willing him to speak out, like the scents of the elephant man of him crying out.
