| ED WOOD (1994) | |
|
|
Ed Wood (Johnny Depp), is a positive film enthusiast without strong skills in story telling, yet driven to tell the audience his story. Ed's stories display little interest in perfection as they openly display imperfections which eliminate the magically believable moment. However, it is these imperfections that Tim Burton highlights in Ed Wood where he displays Ed's imperfections and peculiarities to bring out the human side of Ed, which is what makes him lovable. In filmmaking Ed might have received an F as he was awarded "worst director ever", but as a human he should get an A. Tim Burton decided to film Ed Wood in black and white which vividly enhances the contrast in Ed's character. In addition, the performance by the cast is outstanding as they add phony mood to the film, but it works like magic in this brilliant story. |
