Edward proposes to man confessing his passion for women's clothing, but they reject it anyway. Back home he meets the actor Bela Lugosi, who played a lot of forgotten horror of Universal, which creates a relationship of friendship. Weiss returned by the manufacturer, proposed the name of Lugosi as the star and then they decide the film Glen or Glenda produrgli?. Edward also took the opportunity to confess to his wife, Dolores Fuller, his vice. Finished shooting the film offers a distributor who believes that this is a joke and the Manufacturer's screams Weiss against any failure. At a meeting of the big catch Ed Wood, Tor Johnson writing for a possible film, while continuing the decline of Bela Lugosi with the continued use of morphine. And then decided to seek funds for the next film and is contacted by a television writing Bela Lugosi for participation, and that turns out to be a complete disaster. Television studios, however, know the magician Criswell, a charlatan who knows but the world of entertainment. Then organized a party to raise funds to make the movie, but get nothing. Desperate, Ed Wood in a bar knows the young Loretta King, newly arrived in Hollywood willing to finance the film in exchange for the starring role. And accepts and keeps the role in Dolores, which does not take it well. When it turns out, the shooting started that Loretta has no more than three hundred dollars, the shooting stopped and the crew is forced to organize a new party, however, what sort the same effect as the first. Ed Wood finally gets a loan from the owner of a chain of meat which, however, imposes a new ending and the idiot son as an actor. After stealing a giant octopus in establishments film, the film is finished and give a party during which, however, Dolores left the group. And then one night is Bela Lugosi's Morphine shocked and suffering from a delusional attempt suicide. The actor is convinced and becomes hospitalized for detoxification. You know Ed Wood Kathy with her she begins to come out and after they confessed their pleasure nell'indossare women's clothing, they fall in even a story. For lack of money in the meantime, Bela Lugosi was forced to leave the hospital and back at home where Ed Wood takes it back for the last time in front of a camera. In the film Bride of the monster is a disaster so that everyone is forced to escape being chased by the public. A few days after Bela Lugosi dies. Difficulties in paying the rent by owner Ed Wood learns that the Baptist Church would like to make a series of twelve episodes, but he convinces them to produce his first film in order to secure a commercial return to make the series. Since fired from the television set which he worked, Ed Wood, Vampira can also contact all together and be baptized. On the set, however, things are not going well in the presence of producers when Baptists and Ed Wood is shown dressed as a woman is forced to leave the set because it offended. He took refuge in the usual bar meets the director Orson Welles struggling with funding from the movie about Don Quixote and an exchange of words with him enough to encourage him to close the film. At the first of Plan 9 from Outhere the public space may seem like work, but Ed Wood decided to leave the room. A tribute
heard of director Tim Burton to a genre, to a world, and above all a way of making films which had many technical and operational deficiencies, but with a vitality that was sincere, even if sometimes overly positive. Who is Ed Wood Tim Burton second, then? Gone down in history as one of the worst film directors (born 1924 and died in 1978), Tim Burton becomes the symbol of the darker side of Hollywood's most famous (that opening sequence plane escapes from almost written overlooking the hills of California ), a film made of scoundrels and, old glory, alcoholics and drug addicts, a film made up of lives that are lost or abandoned on the streets to themselves. Ed Wood is essentially a loser, and would not have been otherwise if you look better than Tim Burton's filmography, devoted to diversity and the shortcomings, the minds anxious and sad that populate his imagination and this world (and also to celluloid). It is certainly a challenge for Tim Burton's homage to a true failure, but thanks to the success of the film seems to win in agility and is also avenged his lost hero. It is a film with circular structure, which opens and closes like the biography of a man brackets (and also of a whole troupe referred to in the end titles) who had the courage to make films more than any other passion (besides then put his vices in the streets) and in the end he, too, has slipped into oblivion alcoholism and loneliness. Portrayed by a talented and increasingly good Johnny Depp, Ed Wood becomes a comedian, a caricature that has desperately light in the eyes of imagination, hope, and which binds his life for others, but also a lack of adherence to reality. It is the eye illuminated by Johnny Depp and Tim Burton films over the strings of a tender, cheerful, funny, educated and above all beautifully shot, I live in his dirty black and white. Do not miss the hundreds of small details that make the body on a forgotten historical reality (the producer by the name jew, old television programs, the direction of the silent film) a film taste but fantastic liar, but no intuitive technique, lively and cheerful but in essence profoundly sad (the relationship of friendship between Ed and Bela). The biography Ed Wood is also therefore a means to open the doors to the viewer of the show, of his tricks (the film in the cinema), its most ridiculous figure (which often come from television already) but in which there is always room for small feelings (broken up into a cohesive group). Certainly the approach of Tim Burton, who has always used his audience to the fantastic and in the sale, but here shows a closer disenchanted (the impurities they are accustomed to the magician charlatan Criswell) but not for cynicism, but it never really sinks If anything is really good at bringing out the story of a fictional character irraccontabile. It's the film that speaks and tells of the film is not with a delicate sense of contempt (who is really sucking the blood, Bela Lugosi? Morphine? Success? Ed Wood?). Its success is measured from a distance with complete clearance of low-cost genre films (the effects, perhaps unintended, will be seen years later with the recovery of the first American genre films, then Italian mostly) free real stars ( Lapsed or star) and animated by extras from the strong physical features and bad artistic content (an example of all the catch wrestler Tor Johnson). For fans of classic horror movies, Ed Wood is also a mosaic of quotations (from shots to the arrangement of lights, from billboards to stars called into question) and that will be taken up and reused in another gesture of love for the classic film genre, the sci-fi brought to the big screen by Tim Burton himself with the next Mars Attacks! (1996) where, however, is not given to any particular biography (Ed Wood has used the one written by Rudolph Grey). The film won the Oscar for best supporting actor Martin Landau (himself an interpreter of many who plays Dracula and Bela Lugosi in a hilarious homage to the genre apostrophised) and for the trick, which was also attended by Rick Baker. The music of the film were composed by Howard Shore, almost unique signature of the movie soundtracks of Canadian director David Cronenberg. To create the right atmosphere, the composer used the theremin, a special tool that Soviet production is played by touching them with your hands because it is an electromagnetic field to make it vibrate. This instrument was chosen among others in Hollywood because it was used largely as a consequence for flying saucers.

"The director perhaps the most dilapidated in the history of cinema (Edward D. Wood jr., In search of fortune in Hollywood in the fifties), a circus strongman , dark actress known as Vampira, a pseudo-seer, a fearless disguise, a morphine addict and forgotten old glory (Bela Lugosi was Dracula, masterfully played by Martin Landau won the Oscar) here is the court of miracles in the middle of the tender and funny film by Tim Burton dall'immaginifico that revives with careful art faces and environments into a flaming black and white . Wood (Johnny Depp, of course. And of course, perfect) was heterosexual, but he loved to walk with heels, miniskirt, and - above all - wearing angora sweaters (vaglielo to explain to his girlfriend then shocked to find them in the drawers). He also loved science fiction low (lowest) cost, the production of Z-series, enthusiasm and friendship with a vengeance. He hated to run two times the same scene and remained in front of incredulous the distrust that surrounded his films (even though - as we discover in a tasty encounter between the two - is based on the same foundations that of Orson Welles). Sexual ambiguity of "Glen or Glenda" (us: "Two lives in one") to fake octopus and flying saucers cardboard "Plan 9 from Outer Space": Tim Burton recounts the miseries of a decent man eventually ridiculous be overwhelmed by the tenderness.
