    A youtube channel called "Every Frame a Painting" made a really good point about comedy movies. Almost all of them are complete shit on a filmmaking basis, just the way the movies are made is lazy. Edgar Wright however is one of the only directors who can write as many gags as he can shoot. A really talented filmmaker in any right.

    Easily one of the smartest directors I have ever seen. Shame is, most people don't even know who he is, he's a fucking genius.

      Wright likes making original films and exploring innovative styles and techniques. Unfortunately, a lot of big studios aren't willing to invest heavily into those sorts of films. I hope Baby Driver is his big break and gets him into more high end roles.

    • @zakary.2489
      @zakary.2489 4 роки тому +2

      Neel Parmar The strange thing about his style is that he doesn’t actually make original films. Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Baby Driver clearly share the same tropes with other films of their genre like Baby Driver’s high speed chase scenes and bank robberies and many other trademarks of that heist genre. But he uses the genre to make fun of and parody those films in that genre like how Shaun of The dead makes fun of zombie movies because they were very popular at that time and Baby Driver makes fun of The Fast and the Furious. It’s the timing and his stylistic techniques that make him original.

      There's a lot of people out there who are as or even more talented than Edgar Wright, but very few directors who stray from the norm get given opportunities, but luckily though Channel 4 have done a lot of offbeat shows allowing him to show his talent.

    edgar wright is that cool nerd brother who is always working on some incredible art project in your garage that he wants to show you the bits and pieces of as he does it, and then when its finished and revealed he's still more impressed by the tiny things on it.
    he's a real visionary that man. my favorite filmmaker.

    I've talked to so many filmmakers and people in the industry who are inspired by him. In like ten-fifteen years there'll be a whole generation of who's-who following right in his footsteps. I'm really excited for it.

  • @Snagprophet

    It's fucking bizare that Marvel would get this guy to do Ant-Man, although I think Wright pushed for it to be made originally, and then sack him over creative differences. They literally just got an artist and wanted him to act like a photocopier.

      It pays off in the end though, I enjoyed Ant Man for what it was and I'd rather not see a movie devolve due to obvious creative differences (Fant4stic).

    I always thought it was about Evil Dead 2, as well. I think because of the snap zoom into the closeup, which is less Scorsese and more Raimi. At least to me. Edgar Wright is the coolest. I could listen to him talk about movies all day.

      For almost all of them (especially the really close ups) it would have either been a zoom lens or digital cropping
