My favorite director‚ as far back as I can remember‚ has continuously been John Waters. His movies have always been a style that differs from other directors. If you find yourself watching a John Waters film‚ you know it. I can only describe his film expertise‚ in uncensored absolute filth. If there’s one thing that’s quite evident in all of his films‚ its his love of the absurd and disgusting. He had a fascination with subjects children don’t often have‚ at least to the degree he had. Waters often

Tom Lennon became a great entrepreneur by taking risk. He started working with others while using his creativity to make his own movies and shows. He took many risk writing‚ producing‚ acting‚ and directing his works of art. One of the many risk he took was directing a movie that had a two-million-dollar budget.

If film scholars are right that 1920’s “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” is the cinema’s first masterpiece‚ as I think they are‚ then we need to reassess the popular assumption that “Caligari” is a flawlessly perfect film in all senses with exquisite craft and supreme importance. Honestly‚ I can’t help judging the film by today’s standards in films. Delving deep into the mind of a madman‚ “Caligari” is a film prone to unsettle its viewers‚ especially those who are watching it a century later‚ in early
