Filmed in 1994, a rare black and white film

Tim Burton's films have always felt pretty good, fairy tale + absurd impression; in this one, the background of the story is realistic, but there are many naive elements in the characters, which are very relaxed and comfortable to watch. This seems to have been filmed in 1994. It is a rare black and white film. Haha, it is quite bold. Ed Wood was a Hollywood director specializing in shoddy films in the 1940s. He has a unique way of making films, which actually feels pretty good. It is also a story-telling film. The most impressive part is the part where Johnny Depp jumps off his clothes and shoots the UFO model at the end, which is quite strong.
