i saw this film at the international film festival of brussels . i also meet the director of the film . i hear that ed wood write the story in 10 year . i be sure he think his would be his masterpiece his triumph . well and if you take the film seriously ( like mr. wood do ) it be really one of the bad film you will ever see . and this be cool . the big joke of i wake up early the day i die be that it doesn not even try to be a decent film . this make the film very and very good . the script be fill with nihilism and anarchism a lot of black humour . billy zane role be absolutely excellent . you see and this be either high art . or low rubbish . or .
