Every time he encounters a failure, he can lightly raise his eyebrows, raise the corners of his mouth upwards, and show a brisk and contented smile again. who is he? He is Ed. Wood. who is it? Edward Wood. who?
In fact, he is not anyone, he is just one of the vast sea of names. Back then, in Hollywood, people like him who made B-level films and dreamed of making movies, just salvaged a lot of people, no one remembers or wants to To think about his name, about his work, about his life, or anything but Tim Burton. Tim salvaged him from the fringes of Hollywood, made a biography of him, and finally we know the name, even though he's the "worst director in Hollywood."
Tim Burton is now a golden name. The comments on him are all closed and lonely. He is often indulged in his own personal world. However, the world he created is magnificent, strange and imaginative, but he has conquered the entire Hollywood and has since been dubbed "Ghost Talent". I think that when he conceived of this film, of course, what he wanted was not a biography of a person, but a presentation of an era. No matter how harsh the environment, no matter how superficial the talent, he still couldn't stop him from chasing his dreams. The power of this belief spanned time and space, and focused on Tim with the same perseverance and love, so he used light and shadow to write down those people in those years and those indelible spirits.
Ed.Wood was a loser in the end, by our standards. Perhaps, in his mind, he has done his best and his dream has come true. In fact, the bad films he made are sometimes surprising. Why is this called OK? At this time, he would shake his head lightly intoxicated, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth was slightly exaggerated upwards. When you saw the fiery and contentment in his eyes, you would be unknowingly infected, thinking that it was really doing something. Very nice thing. With his unique enthusiasm and a never-say-die spirit, he fascinated everyone, and let us follow him in a wonderful but absurd movie dream. So when Ed.Wood suffered a failure and said lonely: "I just want to tell a story", I couldn't help but be touched by it, as if the unfair society missed a genius that was not met, and ignored his actual ability.
Perhaps this dream-making power makes our blood boil a little bit, stimulates the nerves that have been numb, and feels that there is still hope in our life, and our own survival is still valuable.
Like Lugosi, this outdated zombie star, when others hear his name, the first reaction is, isn't he dead yet? This cannot be considered a tragedy. Originally, he had given up on himself, but he happened to meet Ed.Wood. I can't be sure whether it was lucky or unfortunate that Lugossi met Ed.Wood. Lucky means that Lugossi was able to be reawakened by Ed.Wood in his last days. , When encountering a bad director like Ed.Wood, his performance life has definitely come to an end. When Lugossi was surrounded by a group of reporters at the drug rehab center, that contradictory mood may have been Tim's voice. On the one hand, I want to be noticed, but on the other hand, I don’t want to be disturbed, especially when it is brought up as a topic because of some negative things. When Lugos said to Ed.Wood, after all these years, they finally remembered me. The helplessness here can be made clear in a few words. When people fall in love with the dazzling halo, they are destined to pay the price for the shadow behind the halo. One day the halo will fade away, and when you fall into endless loneliness, you will have to spend the rest of your life in a tug-of-war with these dark days. If your willpower is accidentally weakened, your life will be eaten up by it. A pile of memories that were once gilded and now rusted.
When the outcome is visible and inevitable, do we lose the strength to pursue it? I think Tim's answer is no. To write a biography of such a small man, it was his spirit and definitely not his achievements that prompted Tim's choice. No matter how Ed.Wood failed, he still showed bright colors in the black and white picture, that is his smile and optimism. The movie doesn't exaggerate his fate of failure too much. No matter how many setbacks, he just laughs it off. He still relentlessly pursues the dream in his mind and is always full of hope for tomorrow.
In the pouring rain, Ed.Wood drove a girl who loved him, admired him and was willing to follow him in a caravan that could not open the roof. A comedic ending. Doing what you love and spending time with the people you love is a complete life. No matter how greedy we are, what we want will eventually return to these very small wishes, and the others, no matter how many, cannot be satisfied.
