Listening to him talk, I wonder why David Fincher isn't a writer/director instead of just a director. They level of thought and detail that goes into his films is indicative of a writer's mind.
Many directors re-write even after the final draft of the screenplay: Scorsese and Spielberg come to mind. Some directors are just better suited to taking the blueprint they like from elsewhere and creating it visually.
He wants energy completely put into direction so that he can be involved in all aspects like music,editing,cinematography etc but if even write it burns u out and thats why there are little successful writer-directors
This has to be the most underrated movie ever. It’s so beautiful. Wish Hollywood did more of these types of movies, someone’s life from beginning to end.
My favorite film of all time, David Fincher did an excellent job with this film, everything about this film just seems so perfect to me from the cinematography to the soundtrack of the film. All the actors gave a superb performance especially Cate Blanchett.
David Fincher is an auteur...unconventional and pathbreaking in his filmmaking style....his Fight club and The Social Network are watchable again and again.>>>!!!
One of the reasons you say this is because as a woman your expected to want Brad, it's pushed onto you in this culture. So you see David, think maybe he's deep and decide that he's better. This is your reaction to what's going on... In actuality you might not want either of them when you get to meet them, or they might not want you.
Used to have a talk show (on CBS I think?) that mostly discussed topics related to the creative arts. He was more or less “cancelled” back in 2017 cuz of #MeToo stuff
Fincher is an absolute genius and the only true successor to Hitchcock. But he is no word-builder filmmaker. That quality would go to Scott, Cameron, Jackson, Verhoeven, Raimi, Twohy, Sommers, Norrington, etc. It’s because he never did (except Alien 3, but, it wasn’t his vision) a sci-fi epic, a fantasy or a fabricated world. If you look for a stylised and Swiss clockwork reality- there is only Fincher.
