it ain't good y'all

autuer film was such a fucking mistake

abolish directors. a 'single vision' for a film is not something to applaud if that vision is bad.

    I hate to be a snob, but calling the over indulgent shit Snyder craps out auteur film is a bit of a stretch. A bunch of drooling morons on the Internet who think he’s a genius provided Warner’s with a big enough market that they were willing to release an over bloated unedited mess that was true to Snyder’s “vision”, I wouldn’t say that makes him an auteur. Most auteur film knows how to use editing well and is a result of the director having more creative control than the studio. In this case Snyder didn’t have more control than the studio, the studio saw an opportunity to appeal to a market without spending much money and they took it.

      Doesn't auteur just mean he has a distinct style, that sounds like snyder. Slow motion with super oily muscular men but also vaguely libertarian ideology with dreary colors is what snyder does

        So does Michael Bay. He had a scene in Transformers age of extinction about why it’s ok that a characters fucking an underage girl. If that isn’t vaguely libertarian ideology I don’t know what is.

        I was always under the impression that auteur film means writer and director are the same person. I mean, it literally means "author's film" and that's how the translation of that term is used in my language.

        I could be wrong and there's a different definition in French and / or English, but that's how i've always seen the term being used. ofc that would mean that Snyder movies are very definitely not auteur films.

      all auteur is is the cult of the director & "vision". the snyder cut is a monument to vision & directorial fiat, the director is just happens to be awful.
