>on time>under budget>get in, get it donethis is how white men make kino
>>217420605This is how he hasn't made a single good movie in decades.
>>217420636he's 1488 years old. he made plenty of good kino like this, don't be jelly
>>217420636gran torino was comfy. not super great mostly due to wanting to use a bunch of non actors but it wasn't bad.
>>217420605I heard Clint's secret was that he only ever did 2 takes per shot. That's how you stay on time and on budget. There was that story how Francis Ford Coppola wasted several hours trying to project an image on the side of Adam Driver's head while shooting Megalopolis. Clint would never do that kind of shit.
>>217420713Gran torino is cartoonishly silly despite taking itself seriously.
>>217420657>he's 1488 years old
>>217421479Kek, women truly have no honor.Imagine raising a daughter just for her to grow up to be a rentable item for 80 year old men.
>>217421479>I heard Clint's secret was that he only ever did 2 takes per shot.basically the Denzel method, dude hates to do more than a couple takes. he just lays it down and goes next.
>>217420605that's why his movies are only as good as their scripts (in the best case scenario) or how he ruins great scripts with his lazy approach (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil worst case scenario)>b-but Howard Hawks also had a simple directing styleHawks had a very defined style, Clint's movies are nowhere near Hawks
>>217420605>>217421479>>217423747Paul Schrader made a crowdfunded movie with Bret Easton Ellis (the author of American Psycho) back in 2013 whose whole budget was only $250,000 ($170,000 from Kickstarter) and it was profitable. As excepted efficiency was crucial there:>Tribeca: Right. This is obviously a very small-budget picture for you. How did that affect your artistic options and decisions?>PS: Well, if you're made enough films you really know what you need money for and what you don't need money for. There's virtually nothing on the cutting-room floor for this film - you shoot straight to the bone. It ends up being kind of like a film co-op, since you're paying everybody the same rate, the actors are doing their own hair and make-up, no trailers. It really becomes a communal project. Everything in the film was designed to be as efficient as possible, with respect to the production. You know, I didn't think the film was going to have as much style as it does because I didn't think I had the money - but then we got that house, Christian and Tara's house, and we shot the first eight days there. There wasn't a bad angle in that house. After the first day, I said, I'm shooting [American] Gigolo again, I can feel it, it's the same house! Years later he also talked about how the decimated shooting cost due to digital cameras might have allowed directors to produce tons of raw material much quickly, but it also transformed the filmmaking process. He used to have 45 shooting days per movie knowing that some of his material will inevitably be edited out. Nowadays it's 20 days even with a multi-millionaire dollar budget and you only shoot that's going to be in the movie for sure. This is how you make good use of your time and keep the budget at bay in these times.
>>217420605should we list all the white man(the vast majority of film directors) who go overtime and overbudget?
>>217421479Realistically with enough preparation you should only need a couple of takes. I know there are geniuses like Kubrick that make masterpieces through a hundred takes until it matches his vision, or autists like Fincher that film a folder being thrown into a car dozens of times just because, but that is honestly excessive and I bet more often than not a second or third take would've been all that was necessary with enough preparation and adequate direction to the actors. I guess on the other end of the spectrum is Nolan who does the same as Eastwood but very, very clearly should do more than one take in many instances.
>>217424689List ten (10) of them.
>>217420636Sully rules
>>217424743It’s just control freak shit, they want to feel like they are personally responsible for every single frame of the film and nothing is by accident.It doesn’t improve the film in 99% of cases to do a hundred takes instead of 5.
>>217421479He also doesn’t change the script after he has agrees to do the movie. Which is why a lot of his stuff end up not being good.
>>217424743Kubrick was also given a huge amount of leeway to make his movies. There’s no way a modern studio would give a director a year to film something like The Shining.
>>217420605UNDER BUDGET AHEAD OF SCHEDULE
>>217422689>women are inferior and their opinions dont matter>women are delicate little butterflies who must be protected at all timesPick one faggot
>>217424754List 10 brown ones notorious for going overtime and overtbudget. Oh wait you can't even name 10 brown directors without looking them up. Your statement makes no sense because it implies we're drowning in a sea of brown directors going overtime and overbudget but because eastwood is a white exception he doesnt >inb4 hurr jews arent white even though they have white skin and blue eyeslmaoeven then, peter jackson, zach snyder, james cameron, tarantino, christopher nolan... such scarcity of non-jewish white directors amirite
>>217424841I get what you mean but they might if they had the profile of Kubrick and the credits in the bank. There's not really any comparable filmmakers currently working. Richard Linklater was given 12 years to make a coming of age movie so there's exceptions.
>>217424965>Shits his pants because someone takes him up on his offer to name white male directors who go overtime and overbudget>Can't do it
>>217424995>pretends to miss the point to hold on to the illusion its some kind of meaningful gotcha
>>217422576That's how you get kino, Junior.
>>217425021>Can't do it
>>217424978Nowadays with big blockbusters, you have a relatively short principle filming schedule and then basically a full year of post production work for all the CGI.
>>217424869pick both
Multiple takes can bring out different responses in the actors. Improvisation or on-set rewriting can bring out something special. One-take directing can result in stilted or inauthentic performances.
>>217420605it's easy when your budget is greater than the gdp of most countries
>>217424762Sully has one of the most ridiculous script structures everit really shows the limitations of Eastwood's approach
Also white men
