Custom image for Tim Burton's Ed Wood
The evolution of Tim Burton's directing legacy has been one of great consternation and aggravation, as he's long been accused of totally losing his touch for most of the 21st century. While the pitfalls are notorious, that argument willfully ignores the notion that any of his inherent artistic vision is present in even his worst films. In fact, one of his best films speaks to the inherent respect owed to the miraculous birth of all films, even the terrible ones.
While Ed may have many skills and talents, artistic competence isn't one of those, and the greatest strength of the film is in how it radically acknowledges Ed's vast shortcomings, yet never overtly points them out or mocks him for his flaws.

'Ed Wood' Shows All Filmmaking Deserves Respect, Even Terrible Filmmaking Close Admittedly, many a great film about filmmaking has already espoused the grand dreams of self-important artists, the drive to do anything to get a shot, the way artists put themselves into art in a way that's vulnerable and empathetic. What sets Ed Wood apart is the way it imparts nobility and honor upon an artist who, by all accounts, shouldn't deserve any of it, based on his output.
