Any other cases of a director starting out with a genuinely excellent debut film and never being able to make anything nearly as good?
The Village is great. I miss when M Night made extremely sentimental movies with horror elements.
There is no bad Night movie. He's the last auteur. The last real nigga.
>>223593386Timmies could never make this.
>>223593438I didn’t care for Split and Glass is fucking retarded.
>>223593438tarantino is the last auteurshamalyan is legitimately good. signs is absolutley legit peopele were just too retarded to even make the holy water connection let alone the daughtet angel man reclaiming his faith theme.split and unbreakable was solid. glass was good too. the happening really fucked him at a crucial time of his career
>>223593386Welles' first film as director was Citizen Kane. I doubt anyone can top that fall off.>inb4 Touch of Evil
>>223593477It's really his own fault for allowing Marky Mark to star in it. With another, actual actor it could've been maybe not great but better than something that Marky Mark starred in.
>>223593386Bruce Willis watches this every day, and the twist works every time.
>>223593516That would be funny if the only time he remember he was Bruce Willis is when the twist is revealed. And Bruce becomes his old self for two mins before the dimensia takes back over. Like the ending of The Notebook. Hilarious!
>>223593386Siqns was as good as The Sixth Sense
>>223593490this exactly
>>223593386>be 18>tell my parents I’m about to watch the Sixth Sense for the first time, knowing nothing about it>mom says “you know he’s dead, right?”>dad gets mad at herLuckily I thought she meant the kid, so I was still somewhat surprised at the end.
>>223593386Signs is a lot better
>>223593386Yes
>>223593386Unbreakable is better
>>223593600I loved ruining movies for people but it’s really difficult to do these days.
>>223593386Unbreakable was his best movie.
>>223593791>>223593686> capeshit lmao
>>223593738What’s funny is I had heard that song 3 years earlier when it came out but I was too retarded for it to spoil me. I thought it meant he died at the end so that’s why he was dead.
The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars. And Donnie Darko I guess that too.
>>223593386Unbreakable, Signs, and Split were also very good, however. I would say Unbreakable and Signs are indeed nearly as good as The Sixth Sense.
>>223593386>a director starting out with a genuinely excellent debut film and never being able to make anything nearly as good
>>223593600I got this movie spoiled for me too. I overheard my mom saying "I couldn't believe he was dead!" or something, and so it was ruined for me years before I finally watched it.
>>223593386Guy Ritchie stretched it to two good films.
>>223593666Great answer
>>223593666oh boy, chaperone or whatever was so cringe!
The village was good as well.
>>223593438>There is no bad Night movieI have a soft spot for M Night movies but his Avatar movie is genuinely fucking awful
>>223593434>The Village is greatNo it isn't. Unbreakable was good but it aged poorly.
Unbreakable is good. Signs has good moments but some weird/bad shit brings it down. The Village is good until they reveal the "twist" that you could see coming from a mile away. After that it's one disaster after another.
>>223599090How could you see the twist coming in the Village?
>>223593503Never insult Marky Mark in front of me.I will fuck you up motherfucker. Give me your address, if you've got the guts. I'll be on the next flight over.
>>223599173I think if you don't know M Night, it might work -- the problem is the reputation starting creeping in and people started trying to predict his movies moreso than any other directors films.
>>223593386I didn't even think Sixth Sense was that good. It was fine, but not this amazing movie people act like it is.Signs, The Village and Unbreakable are all really engrossing and fun, I enjoy them. Split is OK, and the first half of Glass is interesting, the second half clearly suffered from Bruce Willis not being well enough to do the movie, which really sucks. Though I imagine the ending was staying the same and it was, to be desired.>Lady in the Water>The Happening>Last Airbender>After EarthThis is like, some kind of record for 4 major releases from a previously academy award nominated director just shitting the fucking bed full of diarrhea.
>>223599444Correct. There's no way he could have ever topped THX 1138. What was he thinking?
>>223599444>>223600608Holy fucking based
>>223593490No Magnificent Ambersons or Lady from Shanghai?
>>223593386The Obsession fag will be like this, mark my words.
>>223596085Heaven's Gate was good tho
>>223600797Words marked anon. When it happens I'll make sure to send credit your way.
>>223600797100% And his first film was mid tbqh
>>223600797Obsession is not excellent though, there's so much room for improvement still
>>223593386
>>223594704Unbreakable is hardly "capeshit" now is it?
>>223593386Not his debut.
>>223596085That's not even Cimino's debut you retard
>>2235956966/10 troll. You honestly made me believe you're retarded enough to think those were debut films from first time directors.
>>223601991yes truly he peaked with Penguin Adventure
>>223601991https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfo0WfV-L-c
>>223593557>>223593477>>223593638>>223595729This is the brain of the country that rules the world btw
>>223603716HE MADE THE LAST AIRBENDEEEER?
>>223607329Sorry, I meant to say I hate M Night and only watch Abbas Kiarostami movies
Christian Nyby
>>223593386You can get a sense for his weird stitled writing early in his career. I rewatched Unreakable recently, and although I still really liked it, the 'friends don't shoot friends!!' scene was cringe.I think he just couldn't handle both directing and writing his movies.
>>223593600Women are so stupid. She probably has a parasitic entity attachment that is working through her to ruin things for you.
>>223593386Kelly with Donnie Darko (he couldn't even make a director's cut without massacring it). Less extreme but Lawrence Kasdan started with Body Heat which is a classic neo noir and has churned out slop since, although his second movie (big chill) was still fine. >>223593490>>223595778Welles made many great movies and even if you found Citizen Kane to be the better (which is far from obvious) it wouldn't fit OP which wants true fall off.
