[Looking for the meaning of persistence in "Edward D.Wood JR"]

Tim Burdon (Tim • Burton) in 1994 directed a black and white biopic "Edward D.Wood JR" ("Ed • Wood"), in order to pay tribute to idol Ed Wood. 1. Ed Wood (1924-1978) is a famous American B-level film director. , The shooting time is short, the set is relatively simple, the props are relatively rough, the plot is not too full, the workmanship quality is not too high, and generally there is no blessing from big stars.) It is also the famous king of bad movies. (In the 1980s he was summed up as the worst director of all time.) Not only that, but Edwood was a transvestite, he liked to wear women's underwear, and he directed and starred in a film that The film "Glen or Glenda" ("Sudden man and woman") with a transvestite character as the protagonist. But while Edwood was unpopular during his lifetime, he was respected by famous directors like Tim Burdon after his death. 2. What can we learn from the film? > As "The Toronto Globe and Mail" said of Burdon's film, "The theme of the film is very obvious, which is a sincere tribute to a mediocre person." Ed Wood is indeed mediocre enough to be called "the worst ever." Director", but even though he was ridiculed and ridiculed all the way, he still never gave up what he liked. In the film, he is often seen intoxicated with script lines, and he can always use his talent as a speaker to encourage investors to invest in him. So despite the terrible quality of his films, he still directed many film and television works, such as "Sudden Boys", "Alien No. 9 Project" and so on. Just imagine that in real life, if we have been denied and spurned in the fields we particularly like, and we have failed all the way and fell all the way, we can stand up as quickly as Ed, and quickly and passionately smugly devote ourselves to the next time. are you trying? We often feel melancholy after one failure, doubt ourselves after two failures, and withdraw from the "altar" forever after three failures, and write the last article "The Dream I Worked For" in a sad tone, and hope for it Impressive. Ed didn't, he didn't have time to write these articles, he was still spinning the top like a fool, proving his love for creation and film to the world with his actions, even if it was indeed unsatisfactory, even if he was indeed repeatedly satirized. 3. Therefore, at the end of this article, I hope that all of us can persevere in the things we like. Since you like it, it has nothing to do with others. It must be known that success or failure is actually given by the outside world (what if the so-called success is after your death?). We need to listen to the voices of the outside world to help ourselves change and become stronger, but we also need to listen to our inner voices, so that every action every day has a "like" to give value.
