Portrayed by Johnny Depp, the film centers on Ed Wood's struggle to release Glen or Glenda, Bride of The Monster, and ultimately Plan 9. The film stars the brilliant Martin landau as a perfect Bela Lugosi (winning the Oscar for best actor for his performance), Sarah Jessica Parker as Dolores Fuller, and many others.
The film shows off just how difficult it was for Ed to release his pictures, from having his whole crew be baptized just so a church could fund Plan 9, or running out of money 3 days into shooting Bride of The Monster, the movie balances tragedy, humor, insight, and parody all at once. While all of this is going on, Ed Wood is charismatic and upbeat, and his personality is mostly what got him his movies funded. The film also shows his attempt to help the ailing Bela Lugosi kick his morphine addiction.
If i had to pick one, i would have to say that this movie is my favorite of all time. It shows you that if you have a dream, and a vision, that artistic integrity is more important than what anyone else says on it's quality. I can't recommend this movie enough.
10/10
