Some directors have common threads running through their films. Spielberg's characters are often distanced from their fathers, for example, ET, AI, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, etc.. James Cameron likes to introduce his characters by a close up of their feet, T2, the Abyss, Titanic. David Lynch likes to have kinky sex in his movies, Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, The Straight Story .
Can you think of any others?
Oh thought of another one. Cameron Crowe. Say Anything has the father (John Mahoney) singing along to the radio in his car. Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire ditto. And the whole bus sings along in Almost Famous.
I think you call these running themes by the same director auteur theory so that's what I christened the post.
