Greenscreen=/=Lazy
The director just does his thing whereever the shoot is. Doesn’t matter to him. Building sets and doing strenuous activity wouldn’t fall to the director in any scenario.
Eyelines are all fine in ROTS.
And no matter whether you think it’s stupid and pointless or not (an argument could be made), The Ring Theory proves that George went to insane lengths to have the different episodes form a structure of echoes and mirrors.
So lazy he is not. Nuts maybe, but not lazy.
He just spends most of time on tangental things, and not enough on the boring reality stuff.
I can see why people hate him, but I consider him to be a mad genius.
His movies click with me. Maybe I’m just as autistic as him.
I realize that his films could becalled “shodily made”, but I’m in it for raw imagery and emotion, and not the technical logical side, which is what he’s best at (imagery abd emotion I mean).
