The story of Ed Wood and how he got from a wannabe director, editor, scriptwriter , etc to the worst director of all times. The story explains how he got his first break, his relationship with Bela Lugosi and Vampira, his strange vice to wear women's clothes and how he finally came to make his best worst film.
Tim Burton decides to take a huge risk and direct the biography (or as close as it can get) of the most notorious filmmaker in the history of world cinema. The movie has a great pace and progress, filled with comedy and weirdness and with enough drama to make you feel melancholic. Interesting narration through the first anxious steps of cinema, an inside view in the problems of film making and funding and a personality that was just too poor for his times and profession.A great film about vanity and how life should be to make your own visions true and not others'.
Johnny Depp in yet another one of his strange roles and he really does it well. He doesn't try to reenact as Ed Wood himself but he tries to portray the strangeness of his personality in his own way. Sarah Jessica Parker is his first wife and in this film she says the best line of her career. Martin Landau is incredible as horror legend Bela Lugosi while Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Jones and Bill Murray fill the rest of the seats.
Must watch this : on a cool night after a big dinner at a Mexican restaurant and a couple of Margaritas. Let the story of Ed Wood inspire you into starting your life all over again and making it your own this time and do so with that chillout mothermother as a soundtrack!
