Is the work of Ed Wood, the worst movie director of all time, really the worst?

"Ed Wood" directed by Tim Burton

At the time of making "Ed Wood," Tim Burton had just achieved huge success with directorial works such as the " Batman " (1989) series and " Edward Scissorhands " (1990). As a producer, he also produced `` The Nightmare Before Christmas '' (1993). The timing was such that he established his reputation as a hit maker both in name and reality. How did Burton, who reached the top of Hollywood, portray Ed Wood, who remained stagnant at the bottom of Hollywood?

First of all, in this film Ed Wood starts working at the edge of the film industry, makes his debut as a director, creates `` Plan 9 from Outer Space '', and ends with the night of its premiere screening. In other words, it captures the most fulfilling and shining period of his life. Johnny Depp interprets Ed Wood's shallow frivolity as a personable charm, and plays him as a charming and hard-to-hate character.

Also, Bela Lugosi still exudes the dignity of yesteryear. Bernie creates a department and complains. Criswell is a strong fortune teller. Vampira is a popular host of a nightly horror movie show. Giant The Wrestler Tor Johnson, etc. His companions are also portrayed with charm and charm, as unique as any other.

Tim Burton quietly looked at the quasi-family-like relationship between Ed Wood, who had a taste for cross-dressing, and his friends, which was probably hard to understand at the time, with longing envy. It is created as a piece of work that is closely related to each other.

Burton spent his childhood in sunny Burbank, California, feeling strongly that the sunlight was ``unsuitable for me.'' He had a difficult time getting along with his family (especially his father), and would spend his days holed up in his room after school, immersing himself in 1950s horror movies and Japanese monster movies.

For Burton, it may have been enviable to see him spending time happily with friends who didn't criticize his strange hobbies, even if the quality of the movie he made was not recognized.

Although. What is it about Ed Wood , who is widely known as one of the worst film directors, and makes a film about his life?
