Very confused about filmmaker's intent
Ok so you have this young filmmaker who worked as an editor on a couple Malick movies. Great. So his boss influences him a little and helps him make this movie. That is great too and what a privilege for him.
My question is this. Why would a new director blatantly copy the style of someone else who marks HIS own work with his style so grandly? Would this not make it almost impossible to be yourself in your career? No one is going to see his name, only Malick's.
I think I'd be a little more than embarrassed to face my peers if I were this AJ guy.
I made him feel shame... my shame. ToL
