Review of Ed Wood (1994) by Dan K — 13 Apr 2010
I appreciated Burton meticulously recreating Plan 9 and the cast of characters who surrounded Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s career. I liked the black and white look of the film recreating the time period. Has anyone thought of colorizing this movie? Colorizing is a crappy thing to do to good or bad films from the black and white era.
Perhaps it adds something to the notoriously bad effect of notoriously bad cult films though. It might be fun to watch this story of Ed Wood's life in a cheaply done colorized version too. Johnny Depp with that goofy grin full of teeth, those arch eyebrows, that voice, and big eyes plays Ed Wood with a caricature mask.
He doesn't appear real. Yet the naive time of the 1950's like the making of doc talks about makes the humor of the film soft and sweet instead of jeering and nasty.
