Seen on 24-8-2009 - Zee Studio Movie
Cast: Johny Depp (Edward Wood), Sarah Jessica Parker (Doleres), Martin Landau (Bela Lugosi)
Dir.: Tim Burton
This is true-life story about Edward D. Wood, Jr. for whom making films was a passion although he was subsequently voted all-time worst director of some very awful horror films of 50s like Glen or Glenda (1953), Bride of the Monster (1955) and Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959).
What is striking about the man here is his indefatigable spirit, his passion for film making against many odds and his humanity in developing a touching relationship with an aging impoverished horror star, Bela Lugosi. Also, the film successfully brings out the pathos of compromises a film director is forced to make by his sponsors and by artists. The movie was fittingly made in black and white.
