"I'm a director," Ed introduced himself when he met others.
Edwood, a famous bad film director, his films are garbage-like existence in the eyes of film critics and audiences alike. The story of such a person was made into a biographical film "Ed Wood" by Tim Burton, and Depp played Ed Wood. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate bad films and bad film directors the most. But Edwood's story brought tears to my eyes.
Ed is a very special person. He loves to laugh, and when it comes to movies, he has the brightest smile. Movies are his life, movies are his ideals, movies are his dreams. From the very beginning, the film tells you that Ed does not have any film talent, but in order to make films, he said that even if there is only a warehouse of discarded film, he can cut a film for you; in order to make films, the budget 1 million movies, he can get it for you for 60,000 yuan; in order to make movies, he is willing to expose his transvestites; in order to make movies, he can pull the crew members to steal models of big monsters in the middle of the night; in order to make movies Movies, he's willing to do anything.
After every scene he shot, Ed would say "Cut. It's perfect." With a smile on his face, he always thought his scenes were good. At the premiere of his movie "Atomic Man: Monster Marry," Ed and his friends were thrown a head of Chinese cabbage and rotten eggs in the theater, leaving only a mouse running around. And when someone told him, "This is the worst movie I've ever seen.", he would only respond lightly, "The next one will be good."
At the end of the film, Edwood meets his idol, Orson Welles, the director who made Citizen Kane at the age of 26. They are also facing financial difficulties, whether they can realize their dreams or not, whether they have talent or not, as long as you think it is worthwhile, then you are the most brilliant person.
Everyone told me that hard work pays off. So when I come across something I like, I always hit it head-on. I believe that even if it breaks my head, as long as you love it, you will succeed. Gradually, after the blood is broken, you find that the wall is still motionless, you will start to shrink back, you will be afraid, leave the wall, look at it from a distance, and feel sad.
In fact, looking at Edwood is sometimes like looking at myself, untalented and mediocre. Edwood knows that he has no talent, but he is not willing to admit defeat. As long as it is something he loves, even if he is laughed at, he must persevere. He has been chiseling this wall, falling down countless times, but Can get up, bump, bump, bump countless times. Sometimes we laugh at him and call him stupid. But I envy him, even envy him. He can look at his works and indulge alone in the scolding, this is his world, this is his success
