>>64436411

I thought Spielberg was older desu. What an impressive body of work for his age.
>>64436578

>>64435862

>>64436721

>De Palma

>Coppola
Apocalypse Now & The Godfather are allready made. He can die now. After Godfather III he only produced shit.
You forgot George Miller too. He's 70 now and just made the best movie in his entire career.
>>64436090
Michael Cimino is responsible too. His rampant ego brought down a studio and made Hollywood terrified of giving a director too much control. The auteur era of Hollywood wasn't going to last forever but it might've lasted longer than it did if Cimino hadn't delivered the final blow.

They'll look out for the Kubriks' and don't hire them, and they'll especially look out for scripts written by guys that are the modern day equivalent to Citizen Kane, then they'll buy those scripts, toss them into the vault and forget about it.

>>64441738
all over the place because he can do it in any style
>>64438817
More like 5-10 years.
We're in the 1970's right now, the disaster movie studio schlock era. The amount of money they're having to sink into these films, a string of high-profile flops would be enough to kill a studio completely.
Pretty soon we'll have the 1980 death of the disaster movie (capeshit), and then the Hollywood crash. Following that they won't risk sinking $200 million+ into a film and we'll see a new generation like Lucas, Spielberg, Cameron, Scorsese, Scott, etc emerge to make lower-budget, more artistically-worthwhile high-concept movies.

You can tell that Coppola and Scott have gone senile, that Allen's navel-gazing well has gone dry decades ago, or that Scorsese has stopped challenging himself. Somehow Mann and Malick are very alike, they share a common desire to push new techniques forward, without sacrificing their unique artistic sensibilities, unlike Spielber and Cameron, who, while admirable in their unrelentness towards innovation, also cater too much to the safe mainstream expectations by playing the blocbuster card. Mann and Malick have somehow achieved pure sensuality and visual poetry through movements and gestures, by either getting rid of traditional narratve in Malick's case or simply by embracing the most archetypal plots in Mann's case.

Cimino is not responsible for the end of New Hollywood, this is such a profund misundestanding of the forces that were at play. He was an artist fulfilling his creative vision with the budget and power he was rightfully given. The way the American audiences and critics reacted to HG is what was wrong. The truth is by 1980, America had already gone full retard. If it had came out two years before, it would have had a good reputation. I will never understand how everybody then could appreciate the Visconti-an pacing and visual perfectionism of Deer Hunter and praise its qualities, then turning on Cimino so viciously when he went to the next level a couple years later when both films have the exact same tone, style, pacing, influences, themes, flaws and qualities. There was a deep schizofrenia from the critics and audiences. Look at all the un-visual, vulgar, dumb, infantilizing shit that became popular instead. HG stands the test of time wonderfully and Cimino deserved so much better.

I think it's hard to really assess directors until it's way past their time, part of it is because their influence and whether their movies have that timeless quality are things that can only be seen years after the fact, and there's also a difference between "was good forty years ago but got shit" and "stayed good for forty years" yknow?

Villeneuve is really, really promising too.
I don't really care for the others though I enjoy their films.
>>64443226
well name some
>Jim Jarmusch is sixty-two
For some reason this really bothers me. Maybe because he always had fashionable white hair, but always made movies for young hipsters. He looks the same as he did 20 years ago. It's just unbelievable that he's actually getting old.
>>64443368
Gone Girl had plenty of substance WHILE being a classic Hitchcock thriller AND a comedy about media and relationships.
>>64443445
I don't think it had much substance, it was an airplane novel made into something slightly better. Fincher always wants to be working it seems, even if it means some random script.
My 2 cents on the good and the bad of the current gen, and talking only north american directors now, rest of the world is another can of worms:
Of the older end of the spectrum,
- Sodebergh is a very interesting guy, a man of many talents who is similar to the old studio system directors, he can make something good out of any damn script you throw at him, regardless of genre or budget; for me he's more interesting to see what he's doing than what 'auteurs' that have a distinctive style are doing (QT and so on)
- Fincher is an excellent technical director, but he kind of needs others to feed him scripts. He's like kubrick if he never made Barry Lyndon, proving he's got that kind of range.
- Linklater is the logical extension of Altman and other 70s cinema of the Easy Rider/Two Lane Blacktop type and he also seems to have a lot in common with people like Herzog and Errol Morris to me but I wish he'd do more stuff like Bernie, applying his interest in people and places to more interesting stories than something like Boyhood or the Before trilogy
Of the new guys:
- Villeneuve can do good things, I hope he doesn't fall too far into Hollywood though, it would make him a more boring director
- Derek Cianfrance, I hope he'll stay in the business because there's a lot of heart behind Blue Valentine and Place Beyond the Pines is a surprisingly experimental script for a movie like that
- Jeff Nichols has done no wrong so far, again his movies seem to come from a place of real honesty
- James Gray is a guy who understands what movies should be and I hope he manages to make more stuff and stretch out more
There are others but I don't know if they're so great.

>>64436525
well theyve been churning out films for 30 years now
>>64436571
Are you fucking stupid? You realize that the idea of "auteurs" was born out of critical reevaluation of the directors who worked in the studio system?
>>64443522
Kubrick had a writing credit on almost all of his films, he would use source material but he was no Fincher
>>64443655
the conclusion was the directors with the most power made the best films.
He's older than everyone ITT and still makes good films.
>>64442845
>He was an artist fulfilling his creative vision with the budget and power he was rightfully given.
He was given of budget of $11 million and started filming in April of 1979. He didn't finish filming until March of 1980 and ended up costing the studio over $40 million. He let his Oscar win get to his head and took down a studio in the process. Whether or not Heaven's Gate is a good film is irrelevant, there's no denying him killing a studio had a terrible effect on Hollywood.
Why is Villeneuve so inauthentic? He makes Nolan look like someone who has a personality. Nolan for all his flaws has something endearing about him, something fragile, a result of his hubris and sudden success.
Only the Birdman spic and Aronofsky rival Villeneuve. They truly belong in the trash.
>>64443506
>>64443572
I don't know what's gone wrong with Fincher. The pacing and specific sequences in Zodiac are so tight, so well directed, the say so much visually.
Then he goes and does GWTDT, which is fine, but if that movie were made in Sweden on a budget 5 times smaller it would actually be better. He just does nothing interesting with it.
Then Gone Girl, which feels even lower than that. It's better in terms of the portrayal of Ben Affleck's character's relation to the media, there's something interesting there, but then it goes into head-scratchingly edgy territory that I didn't expect from a director of Fincher's age. I thought he got that out of his system with Seven seeing how restrained Zodiac is, and now this...

I'm talking in terms of style and approach: very technical, very methodical and what I would call 'cold', mechanical filmmaking.
Regardless of who wrote what, the point is you can get a feel for a director by the projects he chooses. Many of Kubrick's films feel cold, but Barry Lyndon does not, proving he has the range to do many things.
Fincher hasn't made that movie yet, Benjamin Button doesn't really work as far as I'm concerned.

I'll watch Barry Lyndon but every Kubrick film I've seen that wasn't FMJ was him confusing cinematography for direction. I have zero fucks to give about someone showing me his knowledge of the golden mean or thinking movies should end on closeups of Jack Nicholson being dead (twice).

I said nothing of the sort nor do I disagree with that, I'm saying that the director of Jaws and Duel sold his soul to make sparkly appeals to sentiment with music that tells you what to feel and when. CMIYC was a welcome departure and worked because I didn't feel like the movie was standing over my shoulder telling me FEEL BAD FOR HIM, HE'S JUST A KID over and over
Fincher's aesthetics on his three last films are pretty great i love them

What fucking hit does Edwards have?
>>64444942
Yeah, afaik Jack only appeared in one Kubrick movie.
Based Cary Joji Fukunaga will save television directing after he's done killing true detective.
>>64444565
I personally don't agree, at least as far as Gone Girl is concerned. It looks like a generic indie movie to me, very washed out. There's an overall blue tone to the film but I feel like there isn't a lot of vision behind the look of it, it doesn't really capture any feeling, it just kind of goes along
>>64445012
Brando was based beyond his time
>>64445037
I hate that Scorsecsese and JJ left "their shows", both of which could've been great. Lynch directing every TP episode could be amazing
>>64444942
well fuck me, it was Miloš Forman (who is also getting on in years and weirdly did a turn acting in Keeping the Faith). I rescind my comment about Jack but I stand by my point that he was a glorified cinematographer.

>>64445037
Fukunaga is tied up in looking like a fucking motion picture.
1995 True Detective looked faked and phony as shit noir.
>>64445117
you're still wrong though. anyone who has read The Shining can confirm this.

No way a director like that, or a director in general really, could stick with a series that takes such a long time. The american system for series doesn't work well for that.
Now give me one of these directors putting together a clear, well-written (with a beginnig and an ending), interesting mini series similar to how of Band of Brothers did it and then we'd actually get a golden age of tv and tv directing in particular
>>64437510
He's far better than Nolan and with Sberg it's arguable.
Nolan can't make anything close to as good as the Terminators.

Best "young" director comin through
>>64438327
McQueen pretends to be artistic with long shots and sparse dialogue. His films don't have anything meaningful to say, but if you're a pleb fresh off worshiping Nolan, you might imagine they do. But I agree the other directors you mentioned aren't much better.
>>64445246
You don't need a fucjubg Jewwood director for miniseries to be good.
Generation Kill did without one and is probably the best thing ever, same with Band of Brother.
>>64445246
JJ could've made 4 seasons of LOST if he wanted to I bet, and probably would have had a bigger career. Or at least be more than "executive producer"
>>64445117
On some level you're right. You can tell he started in photography and sort of never let that go. He's a motion picture photographer.
I think he just didn't have the empathy to be a director on the same level as some of the great humanist directors (Renoir, Bresson, Bergman etc). Too interested in the image itself.
>>64445325

Shit because it was just interested in the pain. Not even about character feeling the pain.

>>64445348
No you don't I agree. I'm saying 'big name' directors could do it and it would be interesting in the same way Kieslowski did it with decalogue and Trier with the kingdom, something like that. But if it's a fresh face that's great too with the right material.
>>64445362
What i'd rather do away with is the position of 'show runner'. make shorter, better, tighter series and you won't need a damn show runner
>>64436090
Lucas hates "Hollywood" and fought the suits at every feasible opportunity.
>>64445015
I was being generous with Monsters, but calling it a hit is definitely going too far, I agree.
>>64445545
His proven himself to be probably the best writer ever to write for television and very good writer in general. Fucking loved GK and Show Me a Hero
>>64445578
I'd love for directors with vision to do series or even miniseries, I always hate low runtime of movies.
>tfw seen Decalogue but can't find a proper rip of the Riget

>>64445626
Series yes, but not the american style where you get funding for a season and then for another one if things go well and so on until the well runs dry.
Even with what critics might call good shows this is a problem, every series runs too long - Mad Men, BB, you name it, there are episodes and probsbly entire storylines that could be cut completely.
I just want to see a story that a writer decides requires 10 hours done as a mini series and that's it, we're done.

That's because you're trying to look for a noir in a X-Files wannabe.
Even my mom(she's 65) reconized the same style of TV from X-Files in True Detective.
