So, HER movie WON BEST PICTURE AND the actress SHE DIRECTED, won best actress, but, SHE DIDN’T EVEN GET NOMINATED FOR BEST DIRECTOR

That's not a hindrance. Some directors were nominated and even won for the first movie. Orson Welles, Kevin Costner, Robert Redford, Rob Marshall, Sam Mendes. It is strange that a film which got nominated for acting failed to get a directing nomination.

@YouFightLikeACow 6 жыл бұрын

The movie was good but the directing wasn't anything outstanding (nor was Spielberg for The Post or Ridley Scott, tbh). Denis V for BR2049, Nolan for Dunkirk, and all the other directors have imprinted their style but Greta's style is not as prevalent. It is her first movie, after all.

the title is a little disingenuous, she had co-written and co-directed movies before lady bird so it's not like she was a TOTAL newcomer. also i don't think it's really what she said, i think she meant that she learned to write and direct while being *in* other films

How could you not know greta had written two other films which happen to be amazing films. i mean he gets so excited and i dont have a problem with that except that its not genuine if it were genuine he would be actually passionate about that person and their work. But if i had lost my mum i would be barely conscious right now so hes doing his best, it is still applicable to every other ep of his show though.

^pretty much growing on trees yeah considering that there's so many openings. idk where there are postings. maybe going to a film school and asking to volunteer on their school produced films could be a good start. i'm going to film school right now so i'm not quite sure how one would get into it without that. but i imagine it can't be too hard. just ask around. send emails. you'll find something for sure. it really isn't very hard at all. once you've done one the rest are easy cause you can just ask the crew where they're going next and hop on! i've walked in on sets numerous times and just asked if they needed help and ended up getting a PA credit or something most times. idk if you know who Bill Hader is but he was a PA for quite a while and now he's playing leads in movies. where there's a will there's a way.

I didn't fall in love with Lady Bird immediately like a couple other movies in 2017, but I think Laurie Metcalf is always fantastic, and I enjoyed the sisterly relationship with her best friend. Timothee Chalamet's pretentious artsy rebel character was hilarious, because we've all known that guy... and many of us have to admit we found him irresistible at some naive point in our lives. It's got a lot of subtle charm without being flashy at all. I look forward to more movies from Greta.

I hate to be that guy, but since Natalie Portman so rudely reminded us of the all male director field at the Globes, Gerwig still needs some work. Lady Bird is the most overrated film of the year. Not bad, but merely okay. Patty Jenkins turned in a stronger directorial effort with Wonder Woman, but comic book films don't and shouldn't get award show love. I welcome diversity of all kinds, but only when it is deserved. The sense of entitlement these days disgusts me. Greta is a hell of an underrated actress though.
