Review of Ed Wood (1994) by Drew G — 21 Jul 2010
An odd story from a genius creator.
Ed Wood Jr. A seemingly horrid director who fines his way into the 90's with the style, humor, and glamor of the visionary Tim Burton. While Burton is a genius, he also brings his apprentice along, Johnny Depp. With this being their second film together Depp shows no sign of "amateur" acting at this point, in fact this is still one of my favorite performances by him.
To sum up Depp's performance in one word. Transvestite! And I do mean that with respect. Burton uses the clouds and of horror elements to bring a dramatic comedy. Based on actual work of the real Ed Wood Jr; this film gives Ed a sense of love, determination, and humor.
From the opening credits of actors and actresses names on headstones to Bill Murray's odd yet funny performance, Ed Wood is a prime example that with originality, humor, and talent anything is possible.
