Johnny Depp portrays the enthusiastic Edward Wood Jr. (apparently voted the worst director in the history of cinema) who is madly in love with film making and does it with amazing speed - he made a movie in 5 days! However his movies were horrible while Allen's movies are at the other end of the spectrum. But the passion and the speed may be the same.
Here is a quote from AV Club Woody Allen interview:
Vicky Cristina Barcelona has not yet come out, and I'm already finished shooting and editing a film with Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, and Patricia Clarkson, and I'm now working on another film.Roger Ebert writes in his review of Allen's latest:
A few days before seeing "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," I viewed his "Hannah and Her Sisters" again. More than 20 years apart, both with dialogue at perfect pitch. Allen has directed more than 40 movies in about as many years and written all of them himself. Why isn't he more honored? Do we take him for granted?
