When Directors Go To The Absolute Extreme 

Gualtiero jacopetti and Franco prosperi are definitely the craziest, most extreme directors. In goodbye uncle tom they went to Haiti made a deal with the dictator, to basically own slaves for the shoot, it’s really fucked up and inspired movies like cannibal holocaust.

You

David Lynch

I'd add you using the decimal comma and thousands point in English as one of the biggest cases of a creative going to far.

New Clear Weapons Do Not Exist.

Legalize nuclear bombs

He right though by using actual explosions you can enhance that with cgi and keep it looking real.

@@lordfrz9339 Agreed. The practical effects are far more genuine.

I'm going to tell you something about "the real thing". Explosions come from a chemical reaction. A matter turns into another that occupies a bigger volume and it explodes. A nuclear reaction releases energy in the form of heat, light and radiation. Atoms are splitting. No volume expansion, no chock wave.

@@ravanjock Dude is kinda right tho, Nukes definitely do not have a "chock wave"

That checks out.

Don’t give him ideas man

and destroyed the time machine so that no one could do that again!

Honestly if someone told me Christopher Nolan did this, it wouldn't surprise me. The guy is obsessed with time

What do you think how Tenet was made, and more importantly, why?

I agree, both as my favorite director and extreme methods. But, just to be clear, he had to burn down the house a second time at the end of The Sacrifice because the camera run out of film. And he shot Stalker twice because the original film was ruined in the laboratory while developing (Of course, he didn't know that would make him or the people around him sick, I'm pretty sure he would have found different locations, with less contamination). Tarkovski truly gave his life and soul to the art of cinema, but these stories are about his resiliance, not his perfectionism. Thanx!

@@pdzombie1906 My bad, thanks for the info tho! Yeah, his films always hit a very personal spot in me that I don't find anywhere else

He did, at the end and specifically stalker.

Came to the comment section specifically to mention Stalker and Tarkovsky!

@@joaquimqueiroz9714 Me too. I feel Stalker is like Tarkovski's 81/2; the stalker is his alter ego taking our reason (scientist) and our heart (writer) in a spiritual journey to discover ourseleves... What the russian director did his entire career!!!

Had to stick to 10 otherwise I would have definitely added him

Totally! I came here to write the same, I don’t really see anything about Tarantino in the theme of the video compared to Herzog, there’s even Burden of Dreams documentary to see explicitly what happen during the tortuous shooting of Fitzcarraldo

wasnt aguirre the wrath of god way better and way more troubled? i watched the first half of fitz and it just felt like aguirre but worse

I was coming to write the same. Easily replace Tarantino with Herzog, who easily be top 3. Sure there is Fitzcarralso, but many more. He learned to hypnotized himself the entire cast except for the actor playing the hero in Heart of glass. His documentaries are similarly code breaking approaches.

Just for working and "controlling" madman Klaus Kinski, he deserves to be on the list...

+ Christopher Doyle as a peak cinematographer. Great addition 🙏

@@DuCinema1 yessssss imo his style is somehow so chaotic yet so poetic at the same time

@@catgirlmutant 100%%

Feels like a green text

@@catgirlmutantdude’s films are also praised by Tarantino, takes a great to know another

Let's also not forget his final film took longer to shoot than The Dark Knight trilogy

Totally!!! Kubrick was a genius despite his madness, not because of it. Critics and public should stop romanticizing this!!

well put, sir.

Well said

EXACTLY. You don't need to give your crew literal Hell to create masterpieces

Masterpiece. I don't think i have the strength to watch it again.

Shut up. " Most people never finish it" the movie is good but goddamn it's so overhyped online you guys are so lame for cockriding this movie so hard

Literally staged a war 💀

It's so horrifying that i didnt want to watch it only after reading descriprion and story.

Threads any one?

Exactly, I agree. He treated her horribly. What an ass.

Duvall said she likes him both as a director and person, learned a lot as well. Stanley Kubrick is the BEST DIRECTOR OF ALL TIME, maybe not necessarily the best person, but the best director!

I did PA work a few times mostly to see how it would be and to help some friends out. Worked with a few of the biggest directors and I gotta say the younger generation has mostly thrown away all that BS passionate madman asshole artist archetype which I believe is a good thing. I've worked with an old gen commercial director who was at the top of the game and he tried to talk shit to me and get all in my face and I turned and walked a bit out of earshot in the middle of his bitching and told him to come over. I calmly looked him dead in the eyes and told him that, unlike the other crew, I have zero skin in this game, this is NOT my career and people like me should be the LAST people you talk shit to. I thought he was goin to yell at security to kick me out but he didn't say a word. he just turned around and started talking to 1st AD about the next shot. He left me alone after that and it was just the 1st and 2nd AD who resumed giving production orders (that's how it usually goes). He turned the shit talking onto the actors and set design for some fuckin reason the next day. Like I understand that time is money, it's difficult to direct all this entire production and all these people, but to me, the whole film/tv/commercial production culture gets toxic when it absolutely doesnt have to be. That shitty behavior trickles down to where everybody becomes an asshole and people end up hating their jobs. but it's worth it bc you worked on this or that. Theres a never ending supply of production crew members in LA but I believe the ones that get called back the most are the ones that can handle the BS that goes with it. Bc believe me, I don't care if this is your career, the work done on most sets is pretty fuckin basic unless you have a uniquely creative role. I rigged, ran grip, put up sets, crafty, did sound and all kindsa shit with ZERO experience and got told I did a great job each time. I feel like it's 99% being able to handle the BS. other PAs and managers I worked with for two weeks would call me back because I'd try to make the shit fun while everybody else seemed like they had to be a depressed butthole to focus and work. Even got accused of being high because I was having a good time 😂. Anyways, I doubt anybody read that but if you worked a bit in production you might know what I'm talking about.

@rks5457 I read it, but I have no idea what it's like to work in production movies, tv all that. Sounds super stressful.

Yes. Honorable mentions should go to Cuaron, Alejandro González Iñarritu and Terry Gilliam. Lots of great directors, the terrible, madmen-cruel dictators of contemporary vistual arts.

The time Herzog had to speak french to communicate with some child soldiers that held him captive - and he regrets it (the speaking french part).

Oh no pleas-

Interstellar

well, let's all wait till the film comes out and bang!!! nomination for best VFX

@Jurgen van Gestel obviously it's not a nuke but still choosing to film a real explosion(as small as it may be) rather then just using cgi is pretty crazy.

Won’t be nuclear, as there is ground/air burst treaty ban. I think it’s a replica casing with TNT/NITRO ,overlaid real original test film.

Please. Michael Bay uses large scale explosives all the time and noone bats an eye. Nolan use a small grenade and suddenly people go all crazy.

@@estidi he dropped a plane from the sky and crashed a plane into a building. And then he said "there were big logistical challenges" What the FUCK are we expecting, a small grenade?

10 years it took for that madness to be filmed + disfiguring Melanie Griffith's face by her own mother who put her in that film as a child. Insane!

Yes, I second to this. The whole story if Fitzgerald was crazy.

Real bullets is just bullshit, it is unethical as a director to endanger the lives of your crew and talent: negligence doesn't equal madman production values, it equals go to prison when someone gets shot. 126 takes however, for just one scene, that is some extreme shit.

@@Brainbaskit 'if' someone gets shot. No one got shot so idk why you used 'when'

Yeah but the director literally fought against the Germans and witnessed the atrocities that both warring factions committed as a kid. You think he's going to hold back on a film to express his point to an audience. If youve seen come and see you'll understand, this isn't a Hollywood WW2 film. It's a Eastern European (Belarusian) psych horror film based in reality

"proofing it's actually imposs" what happened, he couldn't do it either?

@@JohnDlugosz yeah

You have 14 hour long heartbeats? Lmao this is a joke lol

@@veronicas19 I go into some _very_ deep meditation. lol.

Nolan's Dune: shoots the desert scenes in Namibia and builds life-sized animatronic sandworms for correct line-of-sight reactions from the actors...

I appreciate that!

Thank you so much awesome to hear that🙏🙏

Thank you so much man 👑🙏

Haha that's awesome, thank you 🙏🙏

In other words, a MOAB, a device that disperses it's fuel charge first with a small burst without flames, and then a second charge ignites the fuel when it has formed a cloud mixed with air. Mother Of All (conventional) Bombs is the colloquial term.

damn that's a good one

1000% I actually met him in Amsterdam. Great guy
