      +Josh Oliver I think his point was with film you're not trying to reproduce life verbatim. You're making a heightened reality and it's good to be aware of that fact as it may help to know it.

    Scorsese just capped that off so perfectly at the end, what with the earnest and straightforward way he just looks into the camera. 'The fantasy is what we're doing now, right here in this room. With these lights and cameras and mirrors. Something else is existing there, I don't know what.'

    @jackmiddleton2080 8 років тому +8

    I like what Ridley said about screenplays. It would make sense that no screenplay is up to par with what he wants. Because you have a vision and the writer has a vision. And you definitely can't see what the writer sees. So all you can do is simply say that there is a story there. Then you make it what it needs to be for your film.
    What Scorsese said was cool. He is right. There is magic in whatever you film because we are trying to create something different.
    Also Tarantino is a god.

  • @nowankersallowed2115
    @nowankersallowed2115 4 роки тому

    director's i love because they show the perspectives through the placement of where people are and how best to capture that moment.. the cameramen that have learned the different lenses or filters for a certain look, to know when and where to zoom in or zoom out and at what speed to do so .. what angle to be at to catch the images they need.. these are all things I love about the movie makers who can allow that to be known and then applied in other aspects of life.. when looking at a situation is it from this angle or that angle.. what might be the filter that this person is perceiving information.. what is their own angle on the situation.. this is in part what I learn when I watch movies.
    That's why I say thank you for sharing your own talents.
    There is a lot of collective experience within a movie.
    If only the medical profession who diagnose or try to diagnose people could have a similar understanding of the enormity within an individual who may just need a creative outlet to express themselves and use whatever they are going through as a positive even if at times negative thoughts or feelings because someone, somewhere just may relate or even be able to offer the soothing words of hope.
    This is what movies are capable of doing on a much broader scale.
    Reaching potentially hundreds of thousands of people, who just might understand, even if only in part.

    • @traplover6357
      @traplover6357 7 років тому +1

      Ti My it does since it creates a societal standard/stereotype that X gender/race/ethnicity/group can only apply to this occupation, potentially missing out on some talents due to missed signalling. If there was no pioneer, then no one will follow. It occurs with race and gender all the time as history has shown.

    the only director that does his own projects and makes a film that he wants to see as an audience as well as a filmmaker is Tarantino... a genuine writer/ director, most directors use someone elses creativity and then compromise that vision for the studio, Tarantino is the only balls to the wall guy who does what he wants 100% no bullshit... doesn't matter if you like it or you don't he won't compromise his vision, that's why he is unique and stands out...

    Love how this could have been shot on a point and shoot that was able to lock focus, then again you've got 4:4:4 compression (no pixel binning) but still it's the lighting that makes this interview appealing, and what makes fun of the current "pits and holes" of the creatives in today (low res image vs the stylistic concerns of emerging motion photographic artists).
    To top it all off the comment section could be a ratings system for best determining popularity of director's style. Make sure you look at comments that were before 10/9/15 if you want to gain a useful opinion, as people like me after this date will read this comment and most likely try to throw things off balance by voting for the null.

    We need to seperate greed from art. It pollutes something that would otherwise be beautiful. Quality entertainment saves lives, heals wounds and opens minds. So many young artists get caught up in this mentality of "make something good and then i'll have the money, the friends, the success" They never figured out who they were. Even the greatest directors are still caught in a balancing act between creativity and narcissism. Nurture your narcissism, feel it, let it grow into altruism.
