Love how much he name drops production staff and their contributions.

@folarinosibodu Ай бұрын

For some reason, the director's fav shots is never what we would think. It's usually what the audience doesn't notice.

So, this video confirms that he did direct 'Dredd' (2012)

Karl Urban pretty much said it in an interview not long ago...

Exactly. Was waiting for this.

Nope. It was directed by Pete Travis. It was written and produced by Alex Garland though.

The flight path of the helicopter in Ex Machina is a Fibonacci spiral.

Devs is really underrated. That show stuck with me for weeks after.

A good director is good at directing. A GREAT director surrounds himself with people who are good at their job, and includes them in the creative process. And an even greater director acknowledges their invaluabe contributions to the final product. Love this.

Alex G and Denis Villeneuve are two of my favs. apparently Denis is very kind and collaborative and it shows in how favourably people speak on working with him, and the quality of his films. I think those two are really something special in trusting their crew/casts.

Kudos to the set designer for coming up with the bathtub idea in Dredd, because it was a brilliant way to show how Ma-ma found a way to be opulent in the slums. There was very little to be had in the way of creature comforts in a rundown tower block, but a place to sit and enjoy a bath without a care in the world shows just how powerful Ma-ma is.

Dredd is so underrated. Excellent comicbook adaptation.

I love the way Alex Garland's work always has a serenity and beauty with a menace lurking just underneath all of it. Excited to see Civil War.

the shot of Wagner in Civil War is also my favorite. it’s so powerful!

What a generous director to his crew Alex Garland is. Brilliant. Just like his movies.

@winterhtech Ай бұрын

Silence is well used in Civil War and that scene with Joel is powerful.

@RatedRKO269 Ай бұрын

Such a big fan of his. Really looking forward to Civil War and hope the rumors of him leaving directing aren’t true…

@TomJones-wx5on Ай бұрын

Wild he chose the helicopter scene for ex machina. The red outline of ava, the reverse shadow of ava to close the movie, Caleb and Nathan by the waterfall, that whole movie is beautiful

So cool you have him on! I admire Ex Machina like few other films! To me it is perfection in every aspect. Never ever have I seen a film before or since that deals with the question of consciousness and humanness in such a profound and philosophical way and the filed of movies that deal with these topics is fortunaly vast and I've seen many of them, which shall just emphasize my compliment! 🙂 It was Ex Machina on which I wrote my first ever paper in Universitiy here in Germany, that's how far my passion for this film reaches

I love Annihilation, Sonoya Mizuno really sold that creature that imitates Natalie Portman's character. For me it's a great modern sci-fi horror with classic cosmic horror elements. Some of the visuals are burned in my mind for ever.

@K.C-2049 Ай бұрын

Annihilation has weirdly become one of my favourite movies. it's one that just kind of hangs out in my brain until I re watch it.

Dredd and Ex Machina were both epic.

I thought Gavin Free from SloMo Guys did the high speed photography on Dredd.

@Ineddiblehulk Ай бұрын

There was initially a shot at the end of ex machina from the AIs POV and it was just totally alien, and digital. It didn’t make the Final Cut. I wish it had, cos I have to admit I don’t totally understand the story until I heard about that shot.

@movieace1295 Ай бұрын

get tarantino, fincher and nolan for this series!

@FramesPerSecond Ай бұрын

Usually it’s Director’s who have a film to promote so maybe when The Movie Critic comes out Tarantino can do it. Fincher and Nolan we’ll have to wait longer for.

@KenTWOu Ай бұрын

Get Fincher and ask him to pick the worst shot from each movie, that would be more entertaining.

Which movie?

@rijzone Ай бұрын

Anhilation is one of the worst movie I have seen. That movie takes itself too seriously and doesn't make a single sense.

@KenTWOu Ай бұрын

It does. Check out Dan Olson's analysis of the movie - Annihilation and Decoding Metaphor.
