Hype Williams

Entire frame being a color scheme and camera shots that look like moving posters lol

Martin Scorsese

That long ass camera one shot thing that is always ill

Belly intro is literally a music video lol

I've recently started rewatching evangelion and it amazes me how good the directing is. The fast cuts during scenes of high emotion. Long takes on characters during vulnerable moments. S*** is so intense

Hate when people attribute every good thing about a movie like transformers that has literally like a thousand people working on cgi to the director

LMFAO

Spike Lee dolly shot + his just overall feel of movies like Malcolm X or DTRT hard to explain

Like 1960-1990’s Black America cinematized

Safdie Brothers chaotic story building to where you can’t really can’t everything happening with one watch

I like how they shoot from far away and sometimes don’t give straight up typical shots it’s like ur people watching which goes with their random ass stories

Billy Wilder

• Classic rom-com style mainly from the male perspective
• Strong, beautiful, but oblivious female leads
• Witty characters and plenty of sexual innuendo
  
  
  

Woody Allen

• Rom-coms set in a sophisticated city or neighborhood
• Woody Allen male lead or Woody Allen surrogate male lead
• Romantic book store, music store, or art establishment encounters. If you wanna get laid in a Woody Allen movie go to the bookstore, you can probably swing a handy at the very least if you ask nicely.
  
  
  
  
  

Brian De Palma and split screens and split diopter shots

prom scene

weekly reminder that de palma is a top 5 director

trey shults and aspect ratios

David Lynch - Dreamlike aesthetic and a contrast between good and evil
Yorgos Lanthimos - Characters who talk with no emotion and a darkly humorous plot

Tarantino: the n word

Nolan: using non white actors as props

I'm curious about the Nolan one. Give me examples

Aye but for real has Tarantino ever addressed that s***? Especially in Pulp Fiction, he's a lil too comfortable the way he lets it fly in that

Kubrick - Symmetry & long tracking shots

great post

Harmony Korine: what the f***?

Harmony Korine: white trash

Rob Zombie: disgustingly foul white trash. And also Sheri Moon Zombie

Farrelly Brothers: characters misunderstanding situation or being lied to about situation, character being put into incredibly awkward position that gets more awkward the more they try to get out of it

Judd Apatow: raunchy R rated comedies that are more dramatic than expected and significantly longer than you’d anticipated

Woody Allen telling me that I would get laid by going to art museums and book stores was the biggest f***ing lie ever told. F***.
