See this if You want to be a filmmaker

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2012)

If you, like me, at any point want to get into anything involving film, then you better watch this movie. The tale of what some people call the worst director ever will show how hard the film business can be. Tim Burton is very good at directing, and this film shows how much he loves film, as much as it show how much Ed Wood himself loved film.
I have a couple of problems, one I was hoping to laugh more. I know this is a dramedy, and I chuckled a descent amount of times, but I was hoping to get a few bigger laughs. I wish Bill Murray was in it a bit more, Murray is always a funny presence. Also, despite the fact that the film ends on a happy note, I still felt sad. We all know what fate befell Wood, and it makes the ending depressing.
Other than that, I really enjoyed this film. It really makes you feel sorry for Wood, he clearly loves movies and wants to make them, but the studios get in the way, and he never does a second take. Bela Legosi, despite being a bit mean at times, is very likable and you feel sad when he dies. I hope I'm not spoiling anything. The acting and direction are both great. And it really is good at showing how demanding the film business can be.
If this is what Ed Wood was like in real life, than no he isn't the worst director. He tried hard, and clearly loved film. Look at Uwe Boll who knows he will always make money and fights his critics. Like I said, if you want to be a filmmaker, you really should see this movie.
