Re: Director Dissection with Seanc and Rauldc

Definitely think Eastwood is an auteur, and at some point I'd like to watch some other films in his filmography and revisit some of my favourites. I think there are constant themes that he likes to...

Re: Director Dissection with Seanc and Rauldc

I said I don't see why people put them on such a pedestal and consider all their works to be masterpieces among masterpieces that all other directors should aspire to be, and that I think all...

Re: Director Dissection with Seanc and Rauldc

Yeah I agree that he's better and I like him a lot. But I'm just kind of trying to make the point that it's easy to pick holes in directors work if you want to.

And I dunno, I guess there are some...

Re: Director Dissection with Seanc and Rauldc

I think this idea that a whole bunch of people consider him 'one of the best' is blown out of proportion too, both sides seem to make hyperbolic statements in order to counter each others points, but...

Re: Director Dissection with Seanc and Rauldc

Yeah, I understand the criticism and think most of the points are valid. But I question the intention behind most of them. Most of you agree that he has made some films, and you don't hate any of...

Most of the things seem to be common "you'll find them if you look for them problems". If you want to find faults with a director, it's easy to do so...

Not literal, physical sex, I just mean more the acknowledgement that it exists. Like it's never mentioned or really hinted at, very little characters have sexual chemistry or real women in their...

I'd disagree here sorry, I think I'd like to be able to quickly distinguish a Nolan film most of the times.

Re: Director Dissection with Seanc and Rauldc

Most of that article is silly, in my opinion. I doubt most of those points are ones you noticed when you watched his films, and they almost all talk about the Batman films too. I don't have too much...

I've always been eager to defend Nolan from the usual naysayers around here. For me he was an important director when I began to get in to films, not as important or as influential as someone like...

I'm a strict rater. I loved the Indiana Jones series when I was younger, must have watched each film a load of times. I still think they're pretty great films, and I watched Raiders recently which...
