Director's who normies think are good but are actually hacks

Director's who normies think are good but are actually hacks

Goodfellas and The Departed were both really good

I'll fight you

you start

Gangs of NY is better than Departed

I forget that normies think Raging Bull is a masterpiece

OH WAIT

pic not related

...

tarkovsky

Obviously.

Casino is a masterpiece senpai

...

>Scorsese is a hack
I remember when I used to say shit like this.

Trust me, OP, someday you'll look back and cringe.

>Spielburger

#1 in making the most money league, but when it boils down to it the guy has about 3 movies worth a shit.

Normies overrate a lot of directors like Spielberg and Cameron, but Tarantino is the only one I'd call a "hack."

Lol no this guy is one of the greatest american directors of all-time.

Those are the movies you're choosing to defend him with? Not The Last Temptation of Christ, raging Bull, Bringing Out the Dead, or Taxi Driver? okay...

case in point lmao

nolan

you mean,directors you don't like

Finally

>Director's
>'s

How abut directors normies overrate and snobs overhate but are actually alright

I bet you enjoy movies of Korine and Von Hack

You insulted him a little bit

Correct

He's completely average

Nolan

you did it!

>you dislike thing
>therefore you must like other thing

>directors who normies think are good
That list is fucking endless

How about directors that filmfags think are good, but suck ass...
Fassbinder
Godard
Korine
Rollin
Pasolini

Add Lynch, Kurosawa and Weerasthakul.

I agree with all except for Fassbinder, he's overrated but he's made some great movies. And i think Korine serves his purpose and deservs his praise.

Fucking no, come back when you have taste

I'm not familiar with Weerasthakul, but I would not add Lynch and Kurosawa... at all.

Korine and Von Trier are better than all the other people in your post.

I think he's great. He's just too formulaic at times

I haven't seen all of Fassbinder's giant filmography, so it wouldnt surprise me if there were a few decent films. If you swing enough, eventually you'll get a hit.

As for Korine, I'll give him credit for being a very singular auteur.

Yeah i wouldn't exctly call Korine "good" but each one of his films has been an experience that's not like anything else i've ever seen.

What Fassbinder have you seen.

Ali: Fear eats the soul
World on a Wire
Satan's Brew

I've seen a few others, but I'm too lazy to look them up. I haven't seen The Marriage of Maria Braun, but that one looks pretty kickass.

Goodfellas is mediocre and The Departed is legit one of his very worst movies.

Jeff Nichols
Steve McQueen
Denis Villeneueve

Martin Scorsese only receives praise because he hires good scriptwriters.

In terms of direction his films are nothing to write home about.

Scorsese is one of the very best American directors ever, and if you dismiss him, you are probably ignorant as fuck about film.

U talkin ta me?

He peaked with Raging Bull and has made complete garbage since then.

>Steve McQueen

I guarantee you any normie doesn't know either Steve McQueen.

Hunger and Shame were IMDB "first year film buff" essentials and 12 Years a Slave was flat out facebook level.

Spielberg
Last good movie he made was Saving Private Ryan, all the way back in 1998

You're embarrassingly wrong.

>AI
>Minority Report
>War of the Worlds
>Munich
>Catch Me If You Can

Get some fucking taste.

Are you just naming really great directors to give off the impression that you're deep? You wouldn't be doing that shit, would you? I mean... you wouldn't be doing exactly what contrarians always do... would you?

Whether Raging Bull is his best film is a matter of opinon imo, but Scorcese having put out nothing but mediocrity since the 80s ended (not counting Bringout Of The Dead) is plain objective fact.

If you think the likes of Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, The Departed and Casino are quality films then you have the mental faculties of somebody who literally plays video games.

Any working hollywood director. There hasn't been a good movie released in theatres since the 80's.

LOL

The entry level r/movies sensibility "film buff" hive has been disturbed I see.
>Really great directors
Hello 15-25 year old

>If you think the likes of Goodfellas, Gangs of New York, The Departed and Casino are quality films then you have the mental faculties of somebody who literally plays video games.
So edgy

Good job Sup Forums, we finally reached apex edge. Someone call Genocide m00t, this board is over

Saving Private Ryan is absolute pleb shit. Spielberg is mostly garbage but Munich and A.I are much better than SPR.

Fuck you contrarian piece of crap.

Are you now going to tell me how Jorgen Leth and Stan Brackage and various other directors who are completely different are so much better? Go ahead, because that's always what comes next.

I'll wait...

Reddit has to be an improvement over this. I mean, there's nothing worse than this board related to TV and film, is it?

Do you play video games? Those movies are artistically ERSATZ. If you think they compare to Taxi Driver, Raging Bull or King Of Comedy then you are exactly the unsophisticated audience member that the medium has run itself into the ground by catering to.

Video game player detected.

Anywhere that drinks the koolaid on hacks like PTA, Late era Scorcese, Nolan, McQueen, Fincher, Tarantino, Nichols, Villeneuve and McQueen is worse than Sup Forums.

No there isn't. Case in point:
I'd say this is cancer, but that's a gross understatement.

If you're defending The Departed as quality cinema then that's a whole new low for this board, and that comes in the wake of years of flagrant reddit activity here such as Breaking Bad threads, Game of Thrones threads, Star wars threads, capeshit threads, CAST MY VIDEO GAME MOVIE threads.

...

Scorsese is one of those directors that:

-normies think is good
-"moviebuffs" think is overrated
-true patricians think is great

Like Ridley Scott


If you want true normiecore, try Tarantino or Nolan

After reading
I think reddit sounds more and more alluring. I don' even know how that fucking thing works, but it can't be this shit.

Child who plays videogames. Opinion discarded.

Name some great directors.

King of Comedy came out after Raging Bull you fucking idiot.

>it's a Sup Forums realizes normies don't keep up with directors episode

Go ahead, ask a normal person who J.J. Abrams is. Hell, you'd be lucky if they could recognize Spielberg, let alone accurately put a film to his name.

The posts you identified as cancer are actually the chemo. The sensibilities that lead to the praise of post 80s Scorcese are the real cancer. The cheeto encrusted video game pulsating in the wall of the house of cinema.

More interesting question: who are some directions normies like, wannabe patricians hate, and actual patricians love?

Ridley Scott
John Carpenter
Pre-Spider Cronenberg
del Taco
Kobayashi

*to the tune of the hallelujah chorus*

SHUUUUUUT THE FUCK UP.

SHUUUUUUT THE FUCK UP

SHUT THE FUCK UP

SHUT THE FUCK UP

SHUT THEEEEE FUCK UUUUUUP

Hi Korrinefag

Still ready to kill to defend the art of cinema?

I never said that everything that came after Raging Bull was garbage, that was another poster. I said that everything from scorcese that came after the 80s was shit. My view is that goodfellas nuked his career and he has been wallowing in the pandering wreckage every since that point.

Cronenberg
Tarr
Herzog
Mann
Lynch
Malick

Even though everyone likes those films(critics and audiences alike).
Appeal to majority? Sure.
How about you tell me why post-Last Temptation Scorsese sucks, in your own words, not using memes and being coherent and concise? Somehting like 5-6 sentences. Are you up to the task?

It's funny how anons like always disappear after they're asked about their contrarian tastes.

>cronenberg
Nothing great after Eastern Promises.

>Tarr
OK, but very much overrated

>Mann
Collateral and Thief are his best, Manhunter was fine, the rest are forgettable at best.

>Lynch
Nothing worth a shit after Blue Velvet. No, not even Twin Peaks

>Malick
One great film and only hippie garbage after that.

...

Any acclaimed genre director, going back as far as Hitchcock and Hawks. It's the basis of auteur theory and all modern film criticism

>More interesting question
>posts a less interesting question

That's the worst assessment of Lynch I have ever read. Blue Velvet is one of his worst films. Fire Walk With Me, Inland Empire, Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive blow it out of the water on every level.

I'll just ignore the fact that you handwave away masterpieces like Blackhat, Miami Vice, Cosmopolis, A Dangerous Method and Maps to the Stars.

he stopped writing

>Malick
>one great film

Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, The New World, Tree of Life
>one great film
Seriously, go fuck yourself.

Why does this matter though.

Who cares if they're "entry level" how does that make them HACKS.

That's always the fucking problem with Sup Forums that makes it just as bad if not even WORSE than reddit. Everyone is so fucking hungry for a (you) that they say the most retarded or inflammatory shit.

Idk Nchols, but McQueen and Villeneueve are objectively "good". Depending on your experience with film they may be very low on your list of directors, but ffs they aren't "hacks".

Y'all NEETs need to fuck off.

The scales shifted and he began to prioritize entertaining audiences over challenging them. Entertaining audiences is the worst thing a film maker can do. Any entertainment elements in his previous films always worked to the detriment of the artistic value, but with Goodfellas he doubled down on the entertainment and with the exception of Bringing Out The Dead I wouldn't consider anything after that point a film at all. He got into the video game business and I guess it worked out pretty well for his wallet.

You aren't very good at the whole Sup Forums thing are you.

>one great films
Badlands

>days of Heaven
Almost there, not quite

>TTRL, TNW, ToL
Absolute garbage that I wouldn't piss on if the last copy of the films themselves were on fire. I'd take a good Jackie Chan film over this overpraised shit any day.

>Blackhat
>masterpiece
Wew

If they weren't making bad movies then audiences without extensive cinematic training wouldn't be able to see value in them.
>McQueen and Villeneueve are objectively "good"
Neither have provided anything other than IMDB inflected memeplay.
>Y'all NEETs need to fuck off.
If you're not fully devoted to cinema than you have no business discussing it with me.

>he hasn't seen Knight of Cups

go see it user, it's great

Oh, you're that guy from yesterday with the "I like being alienated" thing. K. Not giving a (You)

>Goodfellas is mediocre

stop shitting up my board

>I'd take a good Jackie Chan film over this overpraised shit any day.

Casino is like his worst movie.

I'm actually going to reddit. Jesus Christ, the shitshow isn't even funny anymore. You plainly admit you hate something because other people love it.

... so you disliked them because they weren't action packed.
