anyone like ed wood movies ?

@MoveAlong Except for the way Bela Lugosi was portrayed.

@JSul3 I didn't and don't know much about Bela's life. I was entertained by the movie though. Writers and directors should always make an effort to portray a real person correctly unless it's complete satire or fantasy.

@MoveAlong FYI, Lugosi was not a vile, vulgar spouting guy. The portrayal has been debunked by Lugosi's son, Karloff's daughter, and a number of people who worked with him. Was Lugosi perfect? Not by aing shot. I've read many books and articles on the man's life and career. It was full of good and bad, and some ugly stuff.

It's sad and unfortunate, because many who see this movie, latch on to some of the profane dialog and assume it's fact, when they don't know better or anything about the actor, Bela Lugosi.

Am I glad that Martin Landau won the Oscar for it? Yes....but I blame Tim Burton for his choice in portraying Bela as he did.

Many say, "it's just a movie.... it's not real."

The film is a biopic of Ed Wood and covers a specific time period.

One would think that accuracy is important in a biographical film.
For Mr. Burton, I guess accuracy and fact were just a second thought.

@JSul3


I didn't look at the film as being biographical from the get go. I took it as a satirical comedy. I watched it for entertainment not information. I'm sure it had an influence on how some people view Lugosi thought.

@MoveAlong Many viewers saw it as satire, so you were not alone.

For me, the film had some enjoyable moments, but was filled with inaccuracies, apart from Lugosi.
