Filmmaking is a unique experience and perspectives are usually far different from one another. When asked who the next Martin Scorsese is, Marty said Wes Anderson. They are NOTHING alike but that's because they grew up in different eras, in different areas of the Country, had different influences etc. The respect is still there. Even the New Wave of American Cinema is a good example of this. They may have had similar tastes and approaches to Cinema early on, mostly because of budgets and such, but they all went their own ways. Spielberg, Scorsese, DePalma, Lucas, FFC, Milius... I mean, they certainly all became successful in one way or another but each and every one of them had a unique road. Even when tackling similar subject matter(Goodfellas, The Godfather, Scarface), all of those are incredibly different takes on American Crime and/or the Mob. In fact, I believe DePalma said it was the difference in style that attracted him to make this Documentary. Well that and telling his OWN story.
Just as an added gem...
One of Kubricks favorite films, that's been admitted by not only the man himself but close friends and associates is 'White Men Can't Jump'! Something he'd never make BUT I see what would draw him to the film.
