dead, can't be resurrected

So recommended because this film expresses a love for movies. The truth about the worst director of all time has been drowned out in the cult of his bad films. So there will be this kind of worship, it is he who practiced his dream and left a footprint in those bad films.
A person who does one stupid thing is stupid, and a person who does stupid things all his life is a stupid person. But after many years, I found out that who can insist on doing the same thing for a lifetime, even if it is a stupid thing.
Movies are always unreal, a dream, the same for everyone. Wood has been insisting on dreaming his own dream, and showing this dream to others little by little. That's his story - albeit clumsy and unlikable. But over the past 30 years, how many people with dreams have regarded him as their idol!
The whole film is like a farce, and the "King of Comedy" may have the same fun as this one. At the end of the film, the narrative about Bella who plays Dracula is really touching! He died after making 103 movies, and he was never resurrected, but he finally defeated his old enemy Karloff... The sales of his memoirs are far better than Karloff!
