Review of Ed Wood

Ed Wood (1994)
7/10
HUUUUGE surprise...
7 January 2001
I didn't know anything about this movie until i saw it. All i knew was that it's an autobiographical film about an old bad director.

I was surprised to see a great film, and the shock came from the first seconds when i saw that it's black and white. A sign of originality.

Johnny Depp plays Ed Wood, a stupid movie director from a long time ago, desperately fighting with all his critics and with his financiary problems to see his dreams come true.

Never give up. That's the best line for this film. No matter what, never give up in trying to accomplish your dream. Ed Wood, although it's obviuos that he's really bad, has one huge quality, that every filmmaker wannabe should have: the perseverence. He keeps trying and trying and with the help of old Dracula, Bela Lugosi, he succeeds in one of his films.

Johnny Depp is great as Ed Wood and manages to play another brilliant role to add to his long list. Also good points for Landau and Sarah Jessica Parker.

All in all, very good and nice to watch. Do yourselves a favor and don't miss this one. You'll be surprised, just like i was.
