One Of the truly great films of our time

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2004)

This is one of the best films I have ever seen.I am glad that Landau got the Oscar for best supporting actor,but why Johnny Depp didn't even get a nomination, for the life of me I will never understand.He was absolutely brilliant.In fact,pretty much everyone in the cast did an excellent job.I especially loved Bill Murray as the flamboyant Bunny Brekenridge.People say that Ed Wood was a failure, but I like to think of him as the ultimate trailblazer,the very first independent film maker.He made movies that were very poor quality, but for the most part he had almost no budget, little talent,no sets or sound stages, and little or no crew.most of his outdoor,and public footage(what wasn't stock footage)was done on the fly without permits.He was the first truly guerrilla film maker.I think that Burton,and Depp really captured the spirit of Wood's work.I think that without Ed Wood, there could have been no Rodriquez,Tarintino,or Kevin Smith.So,No, I don't think that Wood was a total failure.
