It can be said that ED WOOD has influenced a generation of filmmakers headed by TIM BURTON, and what he wants to do is to reproduce the B-level films of the year. From the creator's name engraved on the tombstone at the beginning of the film, to the clumsy UFO and octopus props; from the clichéd vampire stories, to the aliens attacking the earth...BURTON's intention is clearly visible, that is, to be like his idol Like WOOD, it is determined to transform into high-level works with limited production costs. BURTON imitates WOOD's directorial style to recreate a new ED WOOD - he is not only a loser, but also a true portrayal of the great filmmakers who have been defeated and persevered.
The reason why TIM BURTON was able to make this unpopular film in the strict Hollywood of the film review is still due to his previous works. "Edward Scissorhands", "Sleepy Hollow", etc. proved his talent and provided a guarantee for him to get more free play space in the future. In fact, from his first animated short film VINCENT, we can see a little tribute to idols. The same set, the same bizarre script plot, and the background is still the WOOD style.
ED WOOD can be regarded as an inspirational film, and the meaning it expresses remains unchanged today, that is: to be as passionate as WOOD for what you love.
