Considering that Kubrick was a complete perfectionist, do you think there’s anyone today who compares with him?

Speilberg and scorsese are great. They are defn comparable defn as perfectionists but not in terms of style and structures. Wes anderson is NOT EVEN CLOSE to being compared i feel.. :)

What do you guys think of Coppola being compared?

I just recalled what Kurosawa once said that, he shot just enough shots so that he would have something to edit with to make films. Totally opposed to what kubrick might have probably set out to do while making his films… geniuses all!

4. Scorsese

Ovee the years, film directors have often made movies on writing and the process of film making. Some film directors, who also write, have made films showing characters having writer’s block. Here are some of the films i could remember in this league:

1. The Shining – Stanley Kubrick
2. Barton Fink – Ethan Coen
3. Deconstructing Harry – Woody Allen

can you think of more?
