Director Chloe Zhao won the Oscar for Best Director at this year's Academy Awards. In this video I look at her direction of Nomadland, its origins in the work of Terrence Malick, why Chloe Zhao deserved to win, and how she might be helping to start a new stylistic movement in film.

The part where he talks about how Zhao was looking for answers to a question rather than stating the obvious was thrilling because it captured how the film was set up a so many people didn’t understand why the film was this way. People asked why she didn’t call out Amazon, or why she didn’t put a bold emphasis on the recession.

I felt A LOT of Mallick’s style in Nomadland. Then, I searched it and - of course - Zhao is a big fan of Mallick, but sees herself as someone that sees nature as God, whereas Malick searches for God in nature. There’s perhaps even a Badlands reference in the scene (the name of the spa) - I know Badlands is the region where characters are located, but, y’know. Anyways, Malick rocks. So does Nomadland.

Those people are either closed minded with short attention spans or they want some escapism from reality and they want a film to make them feel uplifted and hopeful, which is fine but they should avoid award shows that award films based on art. I guess it can be compared to people saying Frances shouldn't have won because she has two Oscars or that Chadwick should have won as it is his last chance or that Amy Adams should be handed an award after being snubbed every year. The award should go to the best in that category. It is subjective but for many people it is a participation contest and they just want their faves to win. You have stan twitter where half of people like to go against the grain and half like to go with whatever is trending. Once Nomadland became popular they started turning on it. When the media tried to do a hatchet job on it, saying it wasn't political enough, people jumped on the hate bandwagon... but they still wanted Chloe Zhao to win for ethnicity woke points, not because she actually deserved it. It should always be about the art but sadly for many it isn't. Fortunately I think the majority of people agreed with the awards. It is just a vocal hateful minority.

This is a point of view that I agree with : “I can’t feel the emotion it should provide, nor can I see the connections of other deeper things. I think its fragmented images and flat expressions are a kind of accumulation that will explode at a certain moment, but this The moment did not appear, everything it showed was raw and meaningless, which actually puzzled me-can I blame a movie for lacking more primitive driving force? In other words, is it a misstep or negligence to only present the image itself? Maybe it is, maybe it is not. Whatever the chaos, "A Place of Nowhere" is terribly pale, especially when it tries to incite the audience with its indiscriminate piano strings and desolate natural landscapes, what emotions can you incitement? What? And those images can never really become a part of the movie like the black water in "Leviathan". It lacks weight and lacks realism. Too often I feel strongly that I am not there, just passing by. I also don't like the phrase "to all those who have to go on the road". Everything shown in the movie tells me that the director didn't really see the pain of those people, but regarded it as some kind of redemption. Instead of getting close to anything, she romanticized what she saw in a self-assertive manner. This person was hopelessly arrogant.”

The same part of me is touched - surfacing feelings and thoughts and inspiration - every time you make a video about Malik or people of his ilk and style of expression. They clearly speak to you, and so you 'speak' to us. Thanks for the insights, but more importantly the inspiration.

One reason the Malick approach is more easily adoptable now is because of digital. You can do 20 minute, even hour long takes. You can shoot at 1600+ iso so natural light is easy. And you can have lighter more portable rigs (including stabilisation - alongside handheld, they used gimbals on Nomadland vs. bigger steadicam rigs) than were possible before.

I'm a big fan of Nomadland and Terrence Malick, but there are many other great Asian directors who have done the similar style for decades. Naomi Kawase, Lee Chang-Dong, Shunji Iwai, Lou Ye and even Wong Kar-Wai deserve more attention from American people, especially when you talk about Zhao and her style. Nomadland is really great, but its style is not that unique as American people thought. It's great because Zhao exactly well utilized the way that many other pioneers have tried.

Correct, the way a movie will look is not always an esthetic decision, but a practical one. I don't know about Malik, but for Zhao, I'd say that if she used a lot of hand held cameras they couldn't pull out focus properly, and it would have been way too challenging to pull out focus on a moving camera. There is a way to go around this, film everything at f/11 and everything will be in focus. I bet this consideration is not totally out of consideration.

Not only is the aesthetic of a film rooted in its approach, I think the story itself can impose its visual style beyond the director's or the screenwriter's control. That's the beauty of film, it sometimes escapes the creators' grip and it's their work to embrace it. The beauty is that Zhao absolutely embraces the stories of the people on screen. Great content as always!

Thank you for that rich explanation! I loved the movie and it's touching portraits. Only one thing wasn't so great, when Fern has left her friend and his family, she is going to meet the striking waves by the cliffs, a strong scene with wonderful sounds. 9:20 . But all a sudden very prominent music is pushing apart all nature feelings ... this was awkward, disturbing to me, my relation to such experiences. If you commit a work of art to pureness, stick to it.

I really liked Nomadland, but wasn't quite convinced that Zhao should've gotten Best Director, and while this doesn't completely change my outlook - you made brilliant points and I'm pretty satisfied with Zhao's win now ! great work :)

I don't like it when music cuts in the middle , it takes me away from what I am feeling.

I find this movie similar to Under the Skin. The dash cams and city lights arrive as a necessity.

Hey Thomas! I love your videos and your style, always incredibly informative and entertaining. I saw Nomadland in the cinema and enjoyed it a lot, but didn’t love it. What I liked most about it was the positivity it evoked in its messages about life and death. However, I’ve stumbled across this video that discusses the largely negative aspects of the film and its potential problems with its newfound prestige. I just wondered what your thoughts are on the issues discussed as I’m always intrigued to hear what you have to say. I’ve links the video below! Keep up the great work. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edWTfNt1186Ve40.html
