This statement is evident in many of his films. Burton’s whimsical and twisted style is what makes his movies unique. He has his own distinctive style

Cameron’s obsessiveness is apparently clear in his filmography‚ taking into account

The Master of Suspense “There is no terror in the bang‚ only in the anticipation of it.” Alfred Hitchcock said so eloquently. He was not the man of horror‚ mystery or sudden shock—no‚ Alfred Hitchcock was a man of suspense. He understood the mind and how the anticipation of something was even more fearful than the unknowing. Hitchcock‚ to this day‚ will remain one of the most phenomenal directors of all time because of his keen eye for creativity in the simplest of forms. He created art out

Both Burgess and Ellis’s satirical commentary of their societies is evident through the characters of their violent psychotic

The Evolution of a Director’s style: Baz Luhrmann Topic 1‚ by Chrysoula Soteriades Baz Luhrmann who is well known for his flamboyant and extravagant cinematic techniques‚ his contract with story telling by making audiences feel apart of his movies and his philosophy of not using naturalism all come together to make him one of the most well known directors of all time‚ in my opinion he has not completely evolved from his Red Curtain Trilogy up until The Great Gatsby because he is still as exaggerated
