Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Ethan Coen, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu are the definitions of great filmmakers. First of all a great film maker needs to have a great story. Ethan Coen has his own genre when he makes movies. He tends to make movies that have a very intelligent lead actor, and they usually follow a man who is going through a hard time in their life. His movies are very intelligent but at the same time are humorous. His movies give one moments where they laugh, cry, and he also inspires you to do what you enjoy. Quentin Tarantino is the complete opposite of Ethan Coen. Quentin Tarantino’s films are filled with action from the beginning to end. He provides with very entertaining movies. While being entertaining his movies are also
very intelligent. His characters have great well thought out dialogue and that’s why many of his actors have been nominated for oscars. Quentin Tarantino’s movie usually follow the storyline of a man, or group of men or women which is the case in “Kill Bill,” that is in trouble with the law or a mob man and he or she needs to find a way out. There is usually a lot of action and dialogue involved. Martin Scorsese is in some aspects the same as Tarantino but he has his own genre. Martin Scorsese is probably the most well known film maker in this group considering he has been making films since 1963.
His film type is usually is relevant with the idea of guilt and redemption. And also modern crime. He makes movies that usually have a very energetic, profanity filled, and an arrogant protagonist. Although Scorcese has a lot of critics he is nominated for an Oscar every single time he makes a movie which is why he is arguably the greatest filmmaker of all time. A man who is just starting to get known in the filmmaking industry is Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. Inarritu was born in Mexico and has brought his own experiences into his movies. The thing that makes Inarritu so great and original is his cinematography skills. Inarritu is the epitome of a great cinematographer. His movies are so beautifully shot that the moviegoer doesn’t even need 3D to be amazed. For example his most recent movie “The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance” is made to make you think it is a two-hour continuous shot. But in reality it is made to look that way through masterful editing techniques. His movies are also extremely original and artsy. He is not well known but he has won an academy award for “Best motion picture of the year.” These four filmmakers are the epitome of what it takes to make movies
that inspire and amaze people.
