Ed Wood can be considered a postmodern biopic because it parodies the genre and takes what seems to be a less serious look at the life of the title character.
Ed Wood is a man who dreams of being a big Hollywood director, and he will do anything he can to get there. The only problem is that he has next to no talent. He frequently does scenes in one take, no matter how many errors are made, saying that it makes it look more "real." Most biopics are about people, fictional or otherwise, who made some sort of great impact on the world. Ed Wood was only known for making terrible, terrible movies, but the way that Tim Burton presents him to us is what makes this film 'postmodern'.
