Glen Burton
Ed Wood – 1 Star – Terrible
"Ed Wood" is a biopic about Edward D. Wood, Jr., who has been called the worst director in history film.
There are some second and even a distant second with director "worst-Wood 'label.
The film shows the life of Ed Wood in the 1950s and wood sample as a very determined director with virtually no financial support and no real talent. Wood liked directing movies really bad and enjoyed dressing as a woman on the set.
He was allegedly surrounded by equally inept and talentless hopefuls who broke or down on their luck.
Wood made movies like "Glen or Glenda," "Bride of the Monster and Plan 9 from Outer Space". It was in science fiction movies and transvestism as a transvestite.
He was an advocate of understanding the phenomenon of transvestism to the general public was aware of the practice and could not spell the word.
In today's world, alternative lifestyles and behavior, while not being generally accepted at least recognized and tolerated by some sectors of the population and embraced by Hollywood.
His film Glen or Glenda is apparently a transvestite who finds little acceptance and eventually commits suicide.
Despite his lack of success, Ed Wood is shown in this biography as having an optimistic, cheerful disposition.
Perhaps the best part of this movie is his friendship with a great, but now aging and unemployed horror star Bela Lugosi (Martin Landau).
Landau as Lugosi steals the show. Best Supporting Actor, which won both the Oscar and Golden Globe, and won 9 additional smaller prizes for Best Supporting Actor.
Landau won the Oscar was the first time in the history of Academy Awards that a performer in any category of cattle for the reproduction of a real film performer. Martin Landau was so good.
Director Tim Burton said he was attracted by the story because of the similarities between Wood's relationship with Bela Lugosi and his own friendship with Vincent Price later in life the actor.
This 1994 film cost more to produce than those of Edward D. Wood 's films together, and has estimated that the opening title credit sequence or cost more (in adjusted dollars) than the entire budget of any movie Ed Wood. The film was done in black and white.
Despite the praise for this film that also won an Oscar for best makeup, I found the film to be strange.
In real life of Ed Wood, the director, was beyond terrible and made the character of Ed Wood in the film more difficult for me to accept, I just naturally do not like people who are terrible in their profession.
So if I knew I was in this film would probably not THAT nice, why bother?
Well, try this in the size: Johnny Depp played Ed Wood, Sarah Jessica Parker played Dolores Fuller (Ed Wood girlfriend), Patricia Arquette played Kathy O'Hara (Ed Wood, wife), Bill Murray played Bunny Breckinridge (a wannabe transsexual whose character sounds like Gore Vidal's 1970 movie "Myra Breckinridge" with Raquel Welch), and George "The Animal" Steele played Tor Johnson.
I love the work of Johnny Depp and Sarah Jessica Parker, and I remember that George "The Steele" of animals as a professional wrestler on television. Depp was nominated for Best Actor Golden Globe for his portrayal of Ed Wood.
