The king of genre films: Ridley Scott

When it comes to big directors, people can always name a lot, but to say who is the most comprehensive genre film director, it is estimated that many people can't tell. I think the most comprehensive genre director should be "Thor" Red Liscote.

Mr. Thor is 85 years old this year and is still making movies. Martin Scorsese, his contemporary, finally won the Best Director Award at the 79th Academy Awards, and Thor, who rubbed shoulders with the Oscars three times with "Strange Flowers", "Gladiator" and "Black Hawk Down", has not yet won the Best Director Award.

Of course, for Thor, the Oscar for Best Director is of little significance, because a film of "Blade Runner" is enough for him to be completely sealed and have the confidence to look at all the big directors in film history, not to mention that there are so many tomes on his list of works. Looking through Thor's list, you'll see that he's so different that no other director has covered almost every genre in more than two dozen films:

Science fiction: "Blade Runner", "Alien", "Alien: Contract", "The Martian", "Prometheus"

Epic: "Gladiator", "Celestial Dynasty", "Pharaohs and the Gods", "Robin Hood"

Horror films: "Hannibal";

War films: "Devil Female Soldier", "Black Hawk Down";

Road movie: "The End of the Road";

Gangster films: "American Gangsters";

Biopic: "1492: Conquest of Heaven";

Suspense film: "Stickman";

Police and gangster films: "Black Rain";

Disaster films: "The Great Wave";

Fantasy: The Dark Lord;

Feature film: "Good Time of the Year"...

Hitchcock only did not know before in suspense films; John Ford made Westerns all his life; No matter how much Michael Bay can make money, he may not be able to make comedy; Even a director like Spielberg, who is known for being a generalist, has only made achievements in three or four genres; And Nolan, who has been canonized by fans in recent years, maintains the current level and shoots for another 20 years, and it is estimated that he can catch up with the old man Thor. What is amazing is that although the old man shoots all genres, he does not stop at each genre, but can often create a genre classic in one film, a veritable king of genre films. #我要上 Headlines# #Movies# #423 Headlines Knowledge Section# #历史 #
