Why do directors make worse movies as they get older? Do they stop caring?

Their testosterone lowers so they lose that aggressive, angry attitude of "I'm gonna show the fucking world what's what"
Female directors get better with age for the same reason
Nathan Barnes
not all of them, some directors, like pic related, only got better with time
Angel Carter
Why do directors have beards? Does it help them direct?
Kayden White
Some of them just peak very early in their career. There's nothing they can do about it.

>implying his last movie wasn't great
Thomas Nguyen
For most good ideas aren't a bottomless well.
Carter Hughes
It depends, really great directors who had something to say and a genuine passion for their craft like kubrick, Kurosawa, john ford, Truffaut and a few others don't have a drop off with their older films.
Ones like Tim burton who rely on an aesthetic and a formula that was fresh when he was young, but got old, seem to just be going through the motions and unable to change.
Pic unrelated.
Cooper Parker
While this doesn't necessarily apply to all of them, older directors tend to lose their creative spark as they age with time (see Steven Spielberg & George Lucas).
Samuel Hughes
But couldn't they just get better script writers ? I guess my question is : do they know their new films suck compared to their old ones?
why make a bunch of bad movies when you don't really need the money?
James Evans
A lot of directors don't actually like to watch films. They just like making them.
Jonathan Myers
What else should they do? Reinventing yourself is hard both in film and irl.
William Nelson
Stop caring, lose their edge and delegate more.
Caleb Hernandez
When they start, they don't have the luxuries that come with wealth/fame, so there's a hunger to create something new/different.
As fame/wealth grow, they sink back into what others want and lose the flame.
Ethan Myers
you were saying?
Nathan Richardson
some are doing it just to attract girls when they are younger. like musicians

The script was 20 years old wasn't it?
Charles Morgan
Because their dad dies and no longer aware of son’s movies

It’s a good thing people love the franchise enough to overlook all that feminist bullshit
Justin Flores
Except he made it 20 years later. Using the technology of a modern era of filmmaking. So point still stands that he's the best old timer.

Parker Lewis
Burton is a lazy fuck since the last 20 years
Sebastian Johnson
It's a mid 20th century leftover when corporate bitches had to shave every day and men who did art and stuff could grow beards.
Nowadays beards are pretty normalized everywhere.
Andrew Roberts
>Steven Spielberg
He's done several great movies in the 2000s and even his average movies would be considered something special if his name wasn't attached to them.

Hard to be motivated when you're a millionaire
Evan Reed
Early success leads to a change in lifestyle and a boost in ego. They think anything they touch is gold and forget that they originally had to work painstakingly to craft the original product.
