Baz Luhrmann : Unfairly discreddited

Unfairly discreddited

Baz is perhaps the most discredited film maker out there today. Although he's not Kubrick that doesn't make him Ed Wood. I think Baz has a bit of Busby Berkely in him. A true showman. People claim that he's style over substance. But I have news for them. ALOMST all Hollywood films are style over substance.

Tell me again about how much "substance" there is in campy movies and comedies based off the actual misfortunes of others? From which these film makers profit? How does 3 hours of orgies and drug use or humorously toned films about the slavery and World War II have any more "substance" . Maybe Baz is style over substance, but that's like calling an action movie "overly violent" or a zombie movie "too gory"

Re: Unfairly discreddited

The dis-respect he gets is just astonishing.

One of the best living directors ever.

When it comes to Auteurs it's either you LOVE them or HATE them. I've noticed this with Wes Anderson as well. There is just no middle ground.
