What is the level of a film director? How to observe in the movie?

If you only focus on one movie, you can have fewer reference points. Common ones are:

The rhythm and editing level of the whole movie, the setting of priorities, whether the tiled climax is appropriate and artistic.

Is the performance of actors (especially supporting actors and other actors) well integrated into the plot?

Is the idea of the whole movie well interpreted?

If we want to focus on a certain director of a film (set as film A), we'd better combine several films, including other films of this director (such as A 1, A2, etc.). ) and the representative works of other creators (starring, screenwriter, photographer) of film A. Through this cross-comparison, we can analyze the director's plot grasp, lens art, actor shaping and other aspects.

For example, Wong Kar-wai's films have a very different narrative structure, which other films do not have, so this is his style; And his film art and costume modeling are also very good, but generally speaking, this achievement is attributed to the artist, because Zhang has also shown the same level in other directors' films, so it can be considered that he has little to do with Wong Kar-wai.
