Because, in the case of David O. Russell, he's not just the director but also the writer, which means he has a clear understanding of what he wants - Mr. Havens Feb 2, 17:18 8
- I agree with Jovian. It's bullshit in both cases. -- nm - Subversive - daddy x 2 Feb 2, 17:34 4
  - In the defense of the director, he could be creating a hostile environment because he's trying to get something out of the actor organically - Mr. Havens Feb 2, 17:40
  - i just watched the O'Russell clip and I agree with Dignan - the violence takes the cake - Guy Feb 2, 17:39 2
    - in his defence, apparently Lily Tomlin was impossible to work with on that movie. I've seen at least two clips of her flipping out and screaming at - mafic Feb 2, 18:30
    - Yeah, Dignan is usually right. nm - Dignan Feb 2, 17:42
- if they were already shooting the scene, then his performance has been shaped and hes trying to concentrate and stay in character. - Guy Feb 2, 17:28 2
  - It's not like that was going to be the only take Bale was ever going to get to hit whatever mark he was attempting to hit - Mr. Havens Feb 2, 17:41 1
    - or, it's a pattern of behaviour with the guy. - Reagen Feb 2, 18:07
I don't know about the cinematigrapher, but the director's got to take a lot from all sides. - the liioulu with cool colors Feb 2, 17:12 1
- hm...I corrected cinematographer and hit the wrong key in the process. -- nm - the liioulu with cool colors Feb 2, 17:13
