Cinematic style of 3 famous film director

Alfred Hitchcock (13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980)

Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, was an English film director and producer, often nicknamed "The Master of Suspense". He's the pioneer of many elements of the suspense and psychological thriller genres. He had a successful career in British cinema with both silent films and early talkies, and became renowned as England's best director. Hitchcock moved to Hollywood in 1939 and became a US citizen in 1955.

He got difficult relation with the women in his childhood and his adolescence. Later he will tell that he have understood vaguely the mechanical aspects of the sex only at the age of twenty. In his movies, feminine figure are often the darkest : women with brown hair are often represent as the evil. Furthermore, the figure of the mother is generally decried.

LEGENDARY.

Stanley Kubrick (July 26th, 1928 March 7th, 1999)

-Stanley Kubrick is a director, a photographer, a scriptwriter and an American producer (July 26th, 1928 March 7th, 1999). Kubrick, autodidact, is also his own chief cameraman, producer, scriptwriter. His thirteen full-length films in forty six years of career stand out as a major film-maker of the 20s century. Four of his movies are classified in the top 100 of the American Film Institute. Actually, seven of his movies are classified in the top 250 of the IMDB (Internet Movies DataBase).Kubrick really learns all the jobs by the cinema by making quite himself in his first movies: scriptwriter, sound engineer, director …

Since “2001, A Space Odyssey”, the film-maker works slower and slower, pushing further his perfectionism and his will of technical experiment. For his first movie in color, he is going to take five years to develop this movie, which, by its esthetics and its direction, is a turning point in the world cinema, especially in science fiction. His perfectionism is worth to him a fame of hard, irascible man and megalomaniac. There are scenes begun again near one hundred times, of a violent quarrel with Shelley Duvall (heroin of Shining) in the only order to put her in an intense emotional state. By his movies, he is seen as a paranoiac genius having a very pessimistic vision of the human nature, taking out his ultra-protected house (a kind of impassable fortress, with 80 hectares of wood) only to shoot his movies.

PERFECTIONNIST.

Quentin Tarantino:

Quentin Tarantino is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and actor. His films are characterized by non-linear story(pulp fiction, kill bill and Inglourious basterds), satirical subject matter, and an aestheticization of violence (Django unchained and Kill Bill). He is the scientist of cinema: I mean, he study cinema. There are some references to western, gangsters, martial art and war movies. Also, even if he's a non-believer, there is often a reference to religion (quote in Pulp fiction and scene in a church in Kill Bill). About the dialogue: keen, pure, strong, near of the perfection. Finally he's also famous thanks to the choice of the soundtracks (like Kubrick).

MAESTRO.

Style and behaviour in series :

Walter white/Heisenberg :

Walter white from the serie "Breaking bad" is the perfect exemple of how our behavior affect our style. At the beginning he was a shy physics teacher. He seems like the kind of guy who lets people walk all over him. Indeed, Walt research contribute to win a Nobel Price. After that, Walter and his friend "Elliott Schwartz" founded a company. Walter finally leave the company, but the company become a succesful company thanks to Walter research. He secreatly think that Elliot stole his job, but hey, he is too nice to complain.

Walt priorities is his family. That's why he took a second job in a car wash, cause they're deep in debt. Later, he is diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. Only 6 month to leave left. So he chosed to cooking meth as a way to earn enough money for his family before he died. Indeed, he refused to be in front of drugs dealer. He is a cook, nothing else. That's why he is partner with Jesse Pinkman. But when jesse deliver the meth he was beaten by the drug dealer. He was almost dead. So walter goes in the drugs dealer headquarter, with some kind of dynamite and he force the dealer to pay the meth and a bonus for Jesse. It was the beginning of Heisenberg.

So who's Heisenberg ?

Heisenberg is Walter white, but the crazy motherfucker one.

Walt is a nice guy, but heisenberg don't even care about the other people. After dealing his own meth, walt ends up taking the game. Too much money turn him into a thrill-seaker. He love that feeling when he controls the whole world. Walt was a nice guy, but he turned into heisenberg, a man who killed a lot of people, became a real drugs dealers. He is not dealing anymore for his family, but for his fun. His wife discovers Walt second life but he threatened her to lose her children. So Skyler (Walts wife), work with walter as a accountant. But skyler in order to save his children break up with walt. So heisenberg tears his family apart.

Even jesse his partner lose interest in everything. Heisenberg killed his girlfriend, did a plan to kill his girlfriend son, in order to kill someone else (but i don't want to spoil you too much).

I think you can easily saw the difference between the behavior, but can you guess who's Heisenberg and who's Walter White thanks to their style ?
