Ed is both mourning and inspirational

Every time I make a phone call / sell my movie face to face, but I am beaten / forced to compromise again and again... The mouth shape and accent are indescribably special. Favorite episode - Orson Welles ”.....Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?” Ed”.....We are gonna finish this picture just the way I want it. .. because you cannot compromise an artist's vision." Investors "But it's our money"; Ed" And you're gonna make a bundle...but only if you shut up and let me do things my way."

    Although our Ed has been admitted to the hospital for a while, he has not given up on his dream journey: he still ran around looking for investors, begging those famous actors to join his crew, and was caught in the movie theater. The audience's rotten egg and rotten tomato slapped their heads. The scene is lively and funny

    A meta-movie about the making of a Z-rated film, paying tribute to the "worst director of all time" who never gave up. Tim Burton blends his dark gothic style with the elements of Z-rated films. Most of the characters and scenes in the play are restored to several Ed Wood movies. In addition to Martin Landau winning the Oscar for supporting actor for the role of Bella Lugsey, Johnny Depp's performance is also wonderful enough - you will always remember how he faced the difficulties in the film with a bright face, Always obsessed and delighted to watch the shooting of each scene, and excitedly ordered: "Action!" "Cut!". For movie fans, this film is even more inspiring and moving: who has not heard of the king of horror movies Bella Lughsi and Boris Karloff (the film also ridiculed their nemesis relationship many times)! And of course Ron Cheney Jr and Christopher Lee! The main reason for Ed Wood's failure was financial problems (hard-working funding, one shot per shot, no lighting and sound effects, special effects for fifty cents, stolen octopus that forgot the switch), and the moment he met Orson Welles was like a miracle . (8.5/10)

Ed Wood quotes

  • Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Is something wrong, Bela?

  • Edward D. Wood, Jr.: ...and then, Dr. Vornoff falls into the pit, and his own octupus attacks and eats him. The end.

    Old Man McCoy: Whew! That's quite a story.

    Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes.

    Old Man McCoy: So, uh, you made the movie, and now you wanna make it again?

    Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No. We shot ten minutes of the movie, and now we're looking for completion funds.

    Old Man McCoy: Oh, son, you're too vague.

    [Yells to one of his butchers]

    Old Man McCoy: BILLY BOB! You're cuttin' em too lean.

    Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Mr. McCoy. How can I make you happy?

    Old Man McCoy: [Spits] Okay. Two things. Number one: I want the movie to end with a big explosion. Sky full of smoke.

    Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes. But it ends with Dr. Vornoff falling into the pit.

    Old Man McCoy: Not any more. Number two: I got a son. Little slow, but a good boy, and somethin' tells me he'd make a helluva leadin' man.
