When Directors Go To The Absolute Extreme

Who would you add to the list? Write them down below!

Where is Werner Herzog?????

literally all white men...kinda reflective of....something...

William Friedkin. He made Gene Hackman carjack a guy.

No herzog?. BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!

Herzog

HERZOG

No Werner Herzog in the “I‘m done“ category?

Martin Scorsese?

My long term AIM is to earn money and gamble everything i have on epic movie like Coppola did on Apocalypse Now.

for a dollar plis name a woman

Ye I’ll say Steven Seagal

Tarkovsky was better than most of these losers

Did you just call “festen” by lars von trier the most boring movie ever? Watch your mouth

I feel like putting Kubrick over everyone else (even though Kubrick's actions with Duvall aren't justified) I think he's a bit of a predictable pick. Hitchock did very similar things to his actors and Elem Klimov literally used real bullets around his actors. Not to mention directors like Ruggero Deodato or Pier Passolini. The Shelly thing is mentioned all the time and blown kind of out of proportion to the point where people claim with no actual evidence that she has ptsd from the experience, when she has gone on record to say that she hasn't. That only gets exasserbated when you see thousands of comments all saying the same thing about it too and it's just like beating a dead horse at this point.
Also, the only other reason he's the most extreme is because some people think he faked the moon landing and "knew too much" about secret societies. Please give me a break! He was certainly eccentric and perhaps a little crazy, but by far not the most extreme director, compared to others that are even on your list.

When the fuck you making a film, Du?

Nolan used plenty of CGI. You aren't hearing his words.

Quentin Tarantino is the greatest writer/director to have ever lived. Fight me.

How the fuck didn’t Werner Herzog make this list?

I'm 100% sure Tarantino jas ADHD and 90% sure Kubrick was autistic

How did you not put Werner Herzog on this list?

Wong kar wai coming late to his own shooting it kinda badass

Tarkovsky?

Who else noticed the Dj Smokey drop in this vid? 😅😅

What is Michael Bay?

David Lean used firefighter planes to drop literal tons of paint on dunes in the Sahara desert. They were reflecting the sun too much. He had a whole historical monastery painted pink. And that’s just for one film, Lawrence of Arabia. More of the same on the sets of Zhivago, Ryan’s Daughter, etc.

Of course I’ll second nominating Herzog, Tarkowski and Keaton. But Lean is, I feel, slowly fading out of memory and I think that’s a pity.

Tarantino looks like a younger Trevor if he didn't go insane

(My rankings)

1. Francis Ford Coppola for the Vietnam hell of a gigantic masterpiece. Martin sheen getting heart attack & typhoon struck the sets while the movie going over budget and Francis getting neumonia and getting stuck for few days due to flood getting inside the room.

2. Elem klimov experienced personal trauma when he was a child. He and his friend were playing out when a German plane starts shooting at them casually killing his friend. He wanted to show the truest depiction as it is.

3. Kubrik for having excessive knowledge of film while having obsession for perfection. His every film is a timeless classic. Made Jack Nicholson bashing the door several times until Kubrick gets what is right for him.

Where's Herzog?

I'm still surprised that Jodorowsky wanted to make a movie 14 hours long, I know Dune would make sense but I don't think people would stand watching something til half the day was over.

Bro really thought he detonated a nuke xD

The Hell which Coppola went through to create Apocalypse Now was worth it. My second favourite film of all time

Im just a movie enthusiast
I see a vid essay about movies i click
And i found this channel And i love all of it

I actually want jodorowsky to make dune's 14 hour version
I mean ppl go out there watch 10 hour worth episodes in one go and think putting em up in one movie is a big deal
No its not. Its the same thing just not ik chunks

But this time with CGI right?
Anakin: “incorrect”.

I love the little bits of comedy threw out your videos and the editing is amazing too.

A few of these guys are worthy of admiration, but most of them are just terrible assholes who abused their coworkers.

Stop spreading fake news for views. That’s fucked up man.

oh F*ck i wasnt recording

John wick

"shoot i forgot to hit record"

Right? 😅

Well actually Christopher Nolan went back in time and he killed Hitler🤓

Cameraman: Wait the lid was still on the camera💀

Someone ever heard about Anurag Kashyap
