Who is the real "author" among them?
Who do you think is the real author of a movie?
The director? The ones who write the screenplay? The producer? Do you think actors can change the atmosphere and the content of a movie? I think it depends very much on the type of the movie. For some of them the director is the main author and the producer is only the one who spends money on it. In many other movies, especially big productions and movies with less story and more special effects the producer is more important than the director. The screenplayers IMO only provides the directors and the producers with the matter (apart from cases in which screenplayer is also director or producer of the movie).

in so-called "classics" the writer is the most important, in movies such as Jurrasic Park or even Star Wars, however, there is an equal importance between the director and the writer. in purely action films, (eg Predator), the director is more important. But all the same, the writer is very important in all genres.
the producer....well, he's just the money.

Sadly, too often producers are the real authors of the movie. That's why many productions lack of some originality.

I know that this is not true for all kind of movies, but to me the real author must be the director.

AI ain't horrible IMO.
And anyway, the producers are the ones who decide which things to put in the movie and which not. The freedom of the other authors is limited by their will. |

Well, the director is very important, but the writer also is. I think some of the best cinema is when the director captures the writer's orginal intentions.
I know that when I write I can see how something would play out in action, so if I ever made a movie out of any of my work I would have to direct it. Also, many great movies are the result of writer/directors. Some examples are Quentin Tarentino and Kevin Smith movies. I just feel that in order for the original story to be captured the correct way the writer and director must either be the same person or work together very closely. |
