Both movie nerds and critics hated him during the 80's; he was the center of the Raspberry Awards every year. Now,the same nerds and critics hold him as a genius because of the exact same movies. In other words, they don't know what they are doing.
@@Stroheim333 I think the Untouchables is his best work. The first time I saw Dressed to Kill I hated it. I watched it again & still to this day cannot stop watching it. The museum sequence with Angie Dickinson is incredible. Body Double I Loved from the first time I saw it. Craig & Deborah stole the film. I don't know why they didn't become Big Stars?
@@johnflynn9619 What he did during the 70s and especially during the 80s -- playing with and reframe movie cliches and conventions, making art of kitsch, shamelessly referencing other movies and directors etc -- every "cool" director began to do during the 90s until today, especially Tarantino. The nonsense Raspberry hate against De Palma during the 80s (he was awarded worst director of the year -- FOR SCARFACE!!) is still today impeding his reputation as the groundbreaker he was.
@@johnflynn9619 I thought Craig What's his name did a great job in Body Double. Deborah What's her name was gorgeous. . I also liked Body Double and Snake Eyes as well as Casualities of War.
Just came here to see if anyone mentions that jab from the host toward FURY ROAD. What the hell is the moderator talking about there? Miller is one of the medium’s greatest action filmmakers for reasons De Palma is talking about (and so much more).
De Palma’s movies got attacked for being kitsch and trashy or whatever, because anybody who makes that stuff for the common man gets derided by intelligencia. They get censored. Fuckin’ great filmmaker
I was waiting to here about "Dressed to kill" in detail. Maybe the cab sequins with Angie, two other actors and Brian with camera Going round and round in New York traffic with Angie having orgasms' as she said: 'ALL DAY LONG" LOL... And other memories and more technical Details of that beautiful filmmaking.
@@FrancoisDressler Whether or not you watch a lot of movies doesn't really matter. What matters is how closely you watch them. Highly encourage you to watch the final chase sequence in Fury Road on mute, and then follow up that up with something like the final chase sequence in T2: Judgement Day. One is clean, precise, well directed. The other is very noisy and relies heavily on the spectacle of visuals.
