Turnage - Ed Wood


between the two people ( Ed Wood and Burton) are that they continuously use the same people. The same people in the movies almost like they both try to create their own family or even like Ed Wood and Tim Burton tried to create the family that they wish they had .Ed wood used no name actors as Tim Burton . Not in a literal sense but character wise. Both Tim Burton and Ed Wood used characters that they believed matched their self ; eccentric  like. These characters stood out from everyday society. The characters Tim Burton used for example were Winona Ryder and what seemed to be his utmost favorite Johnny Depp. In Ed wood Tim Burton made this character very blunt and bashful. Almost as Tim Burton is through his movies. Tim Burton allowed Ed woods’ character to be comfortable in his self and confident were he was not ashamed of who truly was . Ed wood was a cross dresser. It was almost like Tim Burton his self was reflecting his life of the movie Ed Wood . Not before success but after. Tim Burton became comfortable with his being after the fact began. After the fact , that he was being accepted for who he truly was. But he changed what he wanted to be in reality , confident within himself from the beginning , successful or not .Tim Burton  Presented this idea through the character of Ed Wood. Although Ed wood lacked in the area of talent and film making , Tim Burton wanted to show what Hollywood lacked. Almost as a subliminal to the real Hollywood seen . Showing that they are short of real character , that everyone is fake within the industry . Meaning people are pretending to be something that they are not. Tim Burton used Ed Wood to voice these opinions on the glamour seen as so did Ed Wood use his worthless productions to voice his opinions.  In plan 9 it allows viewers to see how he thinks from his perspective. It allows viewers to see the reality of Hollywood without all of its glitz glamour that you see without a personal view, from looking from the outside in rather than the inside out. In all Tim Burton thinks highly of the character he created Ed Wood . seeming as in Tim Burtons reality he looks up Ed wood

  1. great comparion of the two directors. I like your point on how they both tried to create a family by meshig actors into a group and repeatedly using them in their films. great idea on how they both have an eagerness to expose the indutry for what it truly is, which is scandals and frauds. Overall great job, it would've helped if you would have had elaboborated a bit more on how you came about your comparisons because you had some great ideas.
