There Will be blood blood and The Master are masterpieces, The Master particularly. He hasn't made a bad film besides his debut picture. Name one current director making films with more talent
Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the greats
Jackson Barnes
Liam Morgan
Not on the same level but I have hope for people like Yorgos Lanthimos.
Ayden Kelly
I'm glad there's directors like PTA, Nolan, Quintet Tortellini, Mangold, and Based Jim in Hollywood that make original kinos. I'm sick and tired of the onslaught of capeshit.
Leo Lewis
Where is his jaw?
Luke Allen
What the fuck. I just looked up Lanthimos again and found out He made a film called the favourite in 2018, and apparently it made 95 million! Am I going insane? I thought his last film was killing of the sacred deer? I'm on Yea Forums everyday, how could this happen
Grayson Thompson
Only critical success, commercial failure ITT
Austin Nelson
after Inherent Vice flopped he'll struggle getting his own projects made and we'll have another talent lost to capeshit
Adam Powell
>after Inherent Vice flopped he'll struggle getting his own projects made and we'll have another talent lost to capeshit
Did you even see Phantom Thread?
>he'll struggle
What are you? From 2014?
Connor Roberts
The Favourite is good but I still prefer his older films. Nice change of pace though to a period setting.
Daniel Clark
> boogie nights
> bad
Camden Miller
his last two movies fucking blew and if you don't see that you are blind deluded fanboy
Gabriel Brown
>Boogie nights
>PTA's debut feature
OH NO NO NO. I bet you're not even autistic
Owen Hall
at best he's an imitator of a much better director and he hasn't made a good film since punch drunk love
Henry Martinez
Yea Forums is a capeshit board now. Anything that's not capeshit gets 2 replies then falls off page 10 within 20 minutes.
Jeremiah Roberts
Inherent vice sucked ass because it was just Phoenix doing a shitty big Lebowski impersonation and the plot made zero sense. Other than that yes he is the probably the best modern director
Parker Collins
I keep seeing the Altman comparisons. What similarities do they truly share beyond having films with ensemble casts? Altman made ugly looking films with no real craftsmanship, 16mm pieces of shit. PTA makes striking movies. And PTA's best films are after the ensemble period anyway, despite your contradictory garbage taste
Austin Sullivan
you are right OP, goat director
Bentley Nelson
>probably the best modern director
aside from his last 2 shitty movies, pta is pretty good and I'm a fan, but saying that he is the "best modern director" just goes to show how much of a fucking pleb you are.
kys
Lincoln Garcia
Anderson is Nolan-tier
Jack Anderson
SHOW ME HOW YOU SUCK A GUYS COCK
Hunter Bailey
Name one modern director better, pussy
Austin Gutierrez
Huh review screw and his capeshit reddit crew ain't gonna like this...
Christopher Gutierrez
why would I do that? what do I get from it? an opportunity to argue against a pleb like you? lurk more kiddo.
Jose Hill
Joke's on you, you're already in an argument
Oliver Williams
why do so many brainlets compare inherent vice to big lebowski? IV trully is PTA`s pleb filter
Leo Lewis
Lynch, Lanthimos, Maddin, the list goes on
Easton Morales
Maddin is such an embarrassment. Only a coward looks at the terrible state of the film industry and decides not to look forward and evolve, but to turn back entirely
David Wright
are you serious? it's pretty well chronicled
>grantland.com
PTA was so up altman's ass that he was his replacement for a prairie home companion if altman died before he could complete it. and then after he got through with that phase he started talking about how jonathan demme was his favorite and made the master which is just a shittier version of demme's melvin and howard. then he remembered altman existed again and made inherent vice because just remaking the long goodbye would've been too obvious i guess. then he probably smoked a blunt and passed out while hitchcock's rebecca was playing on tv and woke up with the idea to make phantom thread. he's every pseud who hasn't seen a movie before 1982's favorite director, because he's a pseud himself.
GOD FERRARA
Adam Bailey
This is a good example of how to spot a contrarian retard
It’s not the movie itself, it’s just the way pheonix talks and acts the whole time
Tyler Rodriguez
Show me similarity between directorial style
Gabriel Wright
>not knowing his debut was boogie nights as a 20 minute student film
Go back
Elijah Bennett
>Thinking a student short film counts as a picture
Look at this dood
Jeremiah Cooper
i'm not going to cut you a fucking youtube essay about it. if you've seen any of altman's major films the comparisons should be readily, embarrassingly apparent. but here let's hear from the man himself:
>Most hotshot young directors go to great lengths to conceal their influences. Anderson makes no such effort. His Magnolia is nakedly Altmanesque in style, while the one song featured in Punch-Drunk Love (Shelley Duvall's sugary rendition of He Needs Me) is lifted straight from his idol's most notorious folly. "Oh yeah, Magnolia is obviously influenced by Nashville, and He Needs Me comes from Popeye. And that's fine. If people want to call me Little Bobbie Altman, then I have no problem with that at all. He's always been a big influence. Almost him as a man more than his movies. Just his fucking spark, y'know. And I've had the privilege to hang around with him a lot, and it's good to see him still angry. Still throwing punches."
Luis Brooks
>Nolan
>No Korine
Easton Bailey
you obviously have not seen the beach bum
Austin Lewis
Or any of his films really
Lucas Parker
>He hasn't made a bad film
Inherent Vice would like a word with you.
Sebastian Baker
>implying any of those directors are good
you don't really get korine
Carson Young
Bump
Colton Allen
me
Jaxon Harris
The Master is a shit film. A few good performances in it do not rescue it from being a wandering garbage heap. You PTA fans yearn for elite status.
Christopher Richardson
How is it shit
