I should say that this movie is quite romanticized in its approach, so not everything is portrayed accurately, but what really is represented well is the passion and dedication that Ed Wood put in all of his movies.
Sure, they could be crappy, campy, really silly, and impossibly pointless, but they werent coming from the mind of a executive trying to make money, but from the heart of a man who was so blinded by his passion that he couldnt even see the blunders he was producing. They are the most sincere love letters to their respective genres this madman could have created, and just for that I think they should be celebrated as much as they already are.
Thats how good Ed Wood is, a movie with great acting, fantastic writing, and with a heart as big as his passion for movies, and angora sweaters.
Im going to go re-watch Bride of the Monster” and “Plan 9 from Outer Space. I recommend you go do the same.
For all his flaws as a director, producer, and every conceivable role played in making a movie, Ed Wood loved moviemaking. It’s good to see someone understand that.
