ReformedThere is literally an entire wiki page dedicated to Nolan’s cinematic style so you are straight up delusional and pretentious as f*** to dismiss what has clearly been established and what can clearly be seen in his movies about his style. If you really think he doesn’t have a style, you’re simply delusional and blinded by your hatred of his films. Nolan’s films are some of the most recognizable out there. I literally have never seen anyone say Mendes has a style lmao. Some people claim Denis has a style but honestly his more dramatic films just feel like someone who wants to be David Fincher. This BS about focusing on textures and silhouettes is ridiculous because Fincher, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, George Lucas, even Scorsese, and even art house filmmakers like Pedro Costa or Panos Cosmatos have all done that and literally created definitive styles as filmmakers on that. Villanueve doesn’t do anything new. He hasn’t developed his style into something unique. I would say Nolan started off his career trying to be Michael Mann, but over time as he learned more about montage editing and utilizing voiceover and leaning more into aspects that defined Tarkovsky/Malick, he has come to achieve a cinematic style that belongs only to him.
Mendes loves “complex and long one takes”... yeah so does Cuaron, Innaritu, Kubrick, Scorsese, PTA and virtually any director lmao. Your descriptions of Mendes films can be applied to so many other directors. There isn’t a single thing Mendes does that is different. Dude is a mediocre ass filmmaker that just copies trends. It was popular in the 90s, especially with the Ice Storm from Ang Lee or even Good Will Hunting a couple years before, to make dramas fixated on suburbia so Mendes just copied that formula and style with American Beauty. Same applies to Skyfall/Spectre following films like TDK, Children of Men, etc or 1917 following The Revenant/Birdman, Dunkirk, etc
The guy is nothing more than an imitator of whatever is popping around the time he makes a film. To even imply he has a film style shows you have no idea what you’re talking about
“These characteristics can be found in other directors therefore these guys don’t have a proper style”
Lmao this is so lame.
It’s like saying “Fellini, Welles and Ophüls had a fast paced style with lots of tracking shots before Scorsese so he clearly doesn’t have a style”.
