Esteva - Ed Wood

His entire life Tim Burton was considered by society as a particularly odd person. When he was a child he was often rejected by the other children, as a young adult he never quite fit in around other people.  Furthermore, in his job as an animator at Disney he was also considered an outcast because he could not do realize the work that was stereotyped for a Disney film.

      As Tim Burton, in his career as a film director, producer and screenwriter Ed Wood was regularly considered as a freak that was only recognized by how horrible his movies were. Not only were his movies thought to be ridiculous and extremely bad, but also he himself was frequently rejected by the people that surrounded him. As a result of this behavior he decided to form his own group of people. He managed to put together a combination of men and women that were even weirder than him. By forming this group he was able to feel like he belonged somewhere. In this group he finally was a “normal” person.

     Much like Ed Wood, Tim Burton also did a very similar thing. As one can notice by watching a fair amount of his films, Tim Burton uses many people repeatedly. Since he was rejected his entire life by his family and the people that surrounded him, he made his film crew to be his own family. He put together a group of people with which he felt confortable and were as odd as he was.

      In his film Tim Burton shows us how perseverant Ed Wood was. He was capable of doing whatever it took in order to get the slightest chance of getting one of his movies into the big screen. Putting random people in the cast, telling people what they wanted to hear, altering the movie itself. Literally, whatever it took. Tim Burton also had to struggle a lot on his way to becoming what he is nowadays. He was thought to be an extremely odd artist that would never have the ability to gather a large audience. Nevertheless, with perseverance he proved most people wrong, becoming a well recognized film maker all around the world.
