Ed Wood - This is the Faith of Pride

Jermaine 2022-04-19 09:01:43

Regarding his life, here are just a few lines:

"American Hollywood film director, producer, actor, and independent film company operator. From the 1950s to the 1960s, he shot a lot of low-budget sci-fi horror films according to the market taste, among which Combining UFOs, vampires, and aliens, the 1959 low-cost work "Plan 9 from Outer Space", written, directed and performed by itself, was called the worst science fiction film in film history by many film critics

. Due to investment failures and alcoholism, his later life was not smooth, and during his lifetime, the films he made were not noticed. However, because of his passion for film work and special cult film style, from his death in 1980 Years later, it has been loved by some descendant film critics and niche fans. Among them, the most famous Edwood fan is the well-known film director Tim Burton. Tim not only directed the film in 1994 An alternative black-and-white biographical film "Ed Wood" (Ed Wood) with the same name as Ed was used to commemorate his idol. In 1996, it used a cost of 100 million US dollars to remake Ed's B-level sci-fi film and put the film into the film. It 's called "Mars Attacks!"

Then again, though these are really shoddy B-movies - dinner plates flying saucers over clearly visible shiny slings, and the same A scene changes between day and night because of the difference in shooting time, and the zombie emerges from the grave and two unrelated staff break into the camera and pull him out - at such a production cost, plus this lunatic is proud and stubborn. His self-indulgent self-indulgence, isn't it touching to watch these peculiar teams of all his enthusiasm and a few eccentric companions create. The world is not so perfect and gifted in the first place. The goal may be lofty and unrealistic, but the belief in the heart is proud and inviolable.

No longer. I like Burton, but I don't like cult, so I just want to briefly comment on Tim Burton's film.

It can be said that this is the pinnacle of the cooperation between Depp and Burton, (of course, there are more than one pinnacle in my heart), but the box office is the most dismal. After many setbacks, even if he changed employers, Burton insisted on following his own thoughts and ideas, using a black and white world, in a dream city like Hollywood, to shoot such a nightmare life, quite a bit of ED style. Black and white films have been unable to attract the attention of the public in today's prosperous world. Such a transvestite, unreasonable, dark, and lengthy story also makes people suspicious. However, Depp's slightly exaggerated performances, weird expressions and exaggerated accents make it a form of art that transcends reality, gets rid of the "documentary"-style shackles that monotony is easy to bring, and does not lose the touching reality. and kind. This is not contrived, not jerky acting, this is Depp, every action, every expression is the spirit of Ed! This is a small person who wanders in the lower levels every day, constantly wandering to find opportunities, begging and deceiving, but out of his obsession and infinite love for such dark, gothic films, he can always pick up the receiver and his eyes are full. Bursting with passion and joy, he can always find his own hope in despair, although he has not been able to achieve glory in the end of his life.

Tribute to Martin Landau, then 64 years old. He therefore won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor that year, and the performance in the film and the performance in the film have conquered those critical judges, and there is no doubt that he deserves it. He choked up several times for two hours, all because of this old man who was constantly fighting. Until the end, he couldn't stop chasing and persevering in his longing, his stubbornness, the passion and convincing he burst out of that action. The monologue is really shocking! ! ! (I have to express my admiration in this way) To look at it with sympathy and compassion is really a blasphemy. The strength of his heart and the softness and delicacy of walking down the steps and picking up a flower are far better than facing drugs , Facing the vulnerability of loneliness.

Sarah Jessica Parker's ex-girlfriend is also a tragic figure. For me, this movie saved her some face from her long face and her old, pretentious Sex and the City image. This role is the only normal person who is sober and not indulging in it, because the owner represents the normality of the public. It is sad to see these mediocre people and their perseverance and their inability to convince themselves to agree. So she chose to leave, and for Ed, it also opened a door to meet the next one (his never-ending wife).

Hey, actually, I still want to comment on Edwood, and actually, aren't Edwood and Tim Burton the same.

Some people commented:


This lunatic, idiot, obviously has no talent, but still deceives himself. He always only knows how to make movies, to make movies... For the sake of movies, he devoted his life to it, without the influence of classics handed down, but there is an immortal "Edwood spirit".

Now, how many people can be like this idiot.
