The first time I knew of Ed Wood was the Tim Burton film, I like any Burton fan watched it and enjoyed it. I know everyone who's seen the Burton film and this one as well has diffrent opinons to the story; but this is film gives us a glimpse into Ed Wood the person, while Burton's work gives us a glimpse to Ed Wood the director, and yes its sad but true that Wood never recived the fame and respect he wanted and dreamed of untill he passed on, but it gives truth to the old saying that no one truley respects a persons talent till there dead and no one can duplicate the talent that the world took for granet.
