Can you explain, please Ricky ... breath of fresh air? What has he done that's so counter to everything else we've seen before?
I mean, okay, I think he's got talent, but he can't touch Spielberg .. and if he can ... we haven't seen it yet. IMHO.
Sure. By that, I mean (in one example) that he's brought the psychological aspect back to films in a society where it's a statistical fact that the average movie-goer doesn't want to sit through a movie and actually
think and have their minds prodded. To do that and to do that
successfully deserves a large amount of respect. And from me, he's got it.
Pair that with his directing skills and artistic perspective, and you've got one director who's truly showing us something, not just making films to make them.
