Ed Wood (1994)

Quote:

"it's not like a completely hardcore realistic biopic. In doing a biopic you can't help but get inside the person's spirit a little bit, so for me, some of the film is trying to be through Ed a little bit. So it's got an overly optimistic quality to it"

Whatever inaccuracies are,its still a damn good film,how many of todays director will get a bio pic made about them.

I love Ed Wood. His films have such an interesting identity and are full of charm, regardless of their technical merits. I also love Burton's film - arguably my favourite Tim Burton film to be honest.

There's a good Region 1 box set with 5 films and an Ed Wood documentary (and the Plan 9 doc too) which is pretty cheap and well worth getting.

Also the great book, Nightmare Of Ecstasy, is a worthwhile introduction to the man.....

Beware. Beware. Beware of the big, green dragon that sits on your doorstep. He eats little boys, puppy dog tails and big, fat snails. Beware. Take care. Beware.

Who doesn't luv Ed Wood?! Even though I don't think his films are half as bad as people seem to think. Glen Or Glenda is my favourite of his - "This man is a transexual. He is NOT a homosexual".

I personally think that certain critics have made a career out of taking the piss out of Ed Wood's films,I mean what exactly have the Medveds done that makes them so superior,Rant over
