@ComptonCool: Agree 100% sir, Depp should have at least been nominated, if not win the Oscar for his character Ed Wood in this terrific 1994 film Produced & Directed by Tim Burton; however, Martin Landau came through with his portrayal of Bela Lugosi winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture. The film also won an Oscar for Best Makeup. Even though Ed Wood was financially unsuccessful, returning only $5.9 Million against an $18 Million budget, it's still a very enjoyable movie and in my top 100 favorite movies of all times. By the way, I've worked in Hollywood movie productions as a stunt man in my younger days & have a movie collection of nearly 12,000 DVD's. It's refreshing to see a young man who appreciates the subtle nuances of films shot in black & white.... this film in particular.
Yeah Martin is great too his portrayal of Bela really reintroduced him to people. I think Bela was just a bit like Nic Cage who gets ridiculed for taking crappy roles too but just really loves to work and still gives his performances his all regardless if it's a major picture or some B movie garbage.
@@AnnaLVajda My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting him at a Ralph's supermarket back in 2008 or so. Being a Universal Monsters fan, I complimented him on his Bela performance, told him it was iconic. He was so humble about it. A couple of others came over said the same. He was a gentleman to a fault. Such a nice guy..real pleasure to speak with. He asked if I was an actor, no music is my art. "Ah,, nice.." It's a great memory I reflect on now and then. RIP Mr. Landau..
"I was thinking about what you said about your movies needing to make a profit." Hysterical! Ed Wood loves making movies so much, the idea of them actually needing to be profitable doesn't even register at first.
As a filmmaker, I find these scenes inspirational. Ed Wood may not have been a great filmmaker, but he loved making movies, and he figured out that it's not what you know -- it's *who* you know. A filmmaker can have all the passion in the world, yet still be shut out by the film industry, which largely favors experienced directors who are already in the system. Ed Wood couldn't figure out how to get into the system. Yet his passion is what endeared Bela Lugosi to him, and armed with Lugosi, he managed to get his foot in the door. It's neither talent nor passion which gets you into the system. It's your connections. That's the sad truth. Ed Wood was not a successful filmmaker, but he was still lucky to have gotten as far as he did.
I believe I read in Ed Wood’s book that George Weiss never disliked Wood even after the movie tanking. He said most of movies tank and he liked Ed personally.
Johnny Depp seems to accept roles that are so authentic, artistic and cult worthy....those of us who appreciate his work, get it and are so damn quotable....to this day. God, I love his work!
@@squiremuldoon5462 no. the amount of effort, time, work, & originality. tim burton & johnny depp's mind, separately & when working together, are so creative. i suggest you look into the making of the films, or at least the charlie & the choclate factory. you can search it up on youtube, theres a 5 part series.
I could watch this every week there is so much in it, wonderful script, acting and production AND an Oscar performance from a legend what more could you ever want
Strong Willy Wonka vibes from this, anyone else? Mainly the voice aha, only time I've noticed a slight similarity with another one of his characters which is cool, as he completely transforms himself with every one! Especially wonka, you cant even tell its him! He's just an incredible actor 😃

When Ed Wood offers to direct "Glen or Glenda", George Weiss references The movie "Chained Girls", which he produced in 1965. Glen or Glenda was shot in 1953.
@@godnex211ify I like to think that maybe they did it on purpose. Just like George is explaining how he doesn't make good movies, Burton deliberately drops both a reference/Easter egg/mistake all in one swoop. Brilliant.

@eurikamerleau it died pretty quickly at the box office. When I saw it there were three other people in the theater. The problem was it was "A Tim Burton Film", which usually meant a target audience far too young for a black and white film about people they'd never heard of. A shame, as it's far and away the best thing Burton has ever done.
The Shawshank Redemption is the best film of 1994 (and probably the best film of all time)..followed by Pulp Fiction. However, I do agree that Ed Wood is a better film than Forest Gump and that Forest Gump is overrated.

I love this film so much. It’s Burton’s best film and Depp’s best performance everything about the film works despite not being quite accurate. Fun fact; The Bride of The Beast actually made money, unfortunately not for Wood as he had to get a completion bond from lawyer Samuel Z Arkoff. During their meeting he told Arkoff his idea of starting a production company that would cater to the new teen audience. When Beast made money Arkoff used the money and partnered up with James H Nicholson and started American International Pictures and which changed how films are made and distributed and gave rise to The New Hollywood of the 70s.
Woods love letter to s/f & the macabre made from cardboard & paint has more has character in spades. On first viewing only Nosferatu kept me up at night.And those glorious monologues.4stars!
Ed Wood did have talent. His biggest failing was impatience more than anything. If he had slowed down just a little bit and taken more time he could have achieved something better. His enthusiasm and rush blew every shot he had.
My then-husband, our closest friend, and I attened this movie and we were the only people in the theatre. Another couple came in a few minutes later. They walked out 15 minutes into the movie. No accounting for taste. 🤣
omg i think this is the same kind of voice and facial expressions he used for willy wonka. it’s so weird seeing it without all the makeup and fake teeth.
I saw this movie with my friends at Lighthouse cinemas In PG california. We got to smoke cigarettes in the front roll. Michelle was in the back row laughing.
Great producers have to be great salespeople...that's what you are looking at in Ed Wood...a consumate salesman that believed in his product even when pretty much everyone knew and told him it was crap...
I love how he didn’t judge him or treat him differently after he was told all this. He was confused at his orientation and used some words that aren’t acceptable today, but still very professional considering the time
That's kinda what I love about the movie. Even if it's unrealistic, everyone still treats Ed respectfully, even when he openly admits to crossdressing, hanging around with transexuals blacklisted actors/"red scare" victims, and junkies. When you read about Ed Wood, you realize that he was a very outgoing, likable person, and also fun to work with. He somehow won over the Evangelical preachers after they found out his cross dressing.
I'll never understand why Johnny Depp was never nominated for an Oscar for this role. The dude was brilliant in this.

The way he delivers his "Yes! Lugosi!" line with such joy and enthusiasm! 😃
