A good director is good at directing. A GREAT director surrounds himself with people who are good at their job, and includes them in the creative process. And an even greater director acknowledges their invaluabe contributions to the final product. Love this.
Kudos to the set designer for coming up with the bathtub idea in Dredd, because it was a brilliant way to show how Ma-ma found a way to be opulent in the slums. There was very little to be had in the way of creature comforts in a rundown tower block, but a place to sit and enjoy a bath without a care in the world shows just how powerful Ma-ma is.
I love Annihilation, Sonoya Mizuno really sold that creature that imitates Natalie Portman's character. For me it's a great modern sci-fi horror with classic cosmic horror elements. Some of the visuals are burned in my mind for ever.
So cool you have him on! I admire Ex Machina like few other films! To me it is perfection in every aspect. Never ever have I seen a film before or since that deals with the question of consciousness and humanness in such a profound and philosophical way and the filed of movies that deal with these topics is fortunaly vast and I've seen many of them, which shall just emphasize my compliment! 🙂 It was Ex Machina on which I wrote my first ever paper in Universitiy here in Germany, that's how far my passion for this film reaches
Wild he chose the helicopter scene for ex machina. The red outline of ava, the reverse shadow of ava to close the movie, Caleb and Nathan by the waterfall, that whole movie is beautiful
I've done nearly 300 hours of interviews with the best cinematographers in the world on my channel in the past 4 years, I'm so mad I never thought of this format lmfao
Usually it’s Director’s who have a film to promote so maybe when The Movie Critic comes out Tarantino can do it. Fincher and Nolan we’ll have to wait longer for.
There was initially a shot at the end of ex machina from the AIs POV and it was just totally alien, and digital. It didn’t make the Final Cut. I wish it had, cos I have to admit I don’t totally understand the story until I heard about that shot.
