Which director did you find in 2020 is your favorite? What is their favorite movie?

How does an anatomical art find its humanity? This is a thorny problem that has puzzled filmmakers for many years. After all, a movie is lifeless. It will not move, and it will never change.

On the contrary, human beings participated in the creation of films. It is artists who stare at their cameras seriously, trying to find out how to convey the most important emotions perfectly.

Watching movies is interesting, but thinking about movies needs a background, which can only be obtained by understanding the people who make movies. In order to truly understand artists, the audience must explore their own works.

So, in 2020, I watched more than 500 movies that year, and you know I found more than a dozen filmmakers that I couldn't stop exploring. I may write to about twenty new filmmakers. I am fascinated by them, but I want to set some guiding principles.

First of all, I want to say that even though I have browsed most of the films in 2020, I want to taste them for the first time in the calendar year.

This will delete filmmakers like PTA, Sofia Coppola, McQueen, Baumbach, linklater, Aaronov Ski and Bergman. I started watching 1-2 movies a year ago and will do more exploration in 2020.

I also want to limit myself to four films directed by the director. In this way, people like Gauhata, Almodova, Renoir, Lubitz, Cai, Weerasethakul, Ozu, Kurosawa and capra were eliminated. I have only seen the movie 1-3, but it will definitely become the most popular movie. Having said that, let's continue to look at my favorite annual discovery:

Honorary nominations: Park Chan-wook, Celine Siama (Popularity), Todd Haynes (Battle of Heaven), Kelly Reichardt (Division of Mike) and Huang Jiawei (2046).

4: Kazuo Hirota

Although Kore-eda may not be the greatest director, he firmly claims to be the greatest humanist in the film industry. Few people know the inner mechanism of people better than this Japanese master (all the nuances that make people nuanced).

I've only seen five of his films, and I haven't shy away from any recognized masterpieces except Stealing, but Stealing is incredible enough to make him have a place on this list.

This is probably his greatest film. This is a quiet and sad exploration of the intersection of human ignorance, loneliness and heartache. It will make you fall in love with the character and tear your heart out.

3: michael haneke

Michael haneke's peeping tom makes you frank and fearful. In Haneck's films, there is no skill. On the contrary, the events he filmed were deeply shocking.

Caché showed him the most subtle difference, telling an unexplained mysterious story of sadness and depression. The piano teacher follows the master with the innermost feelings and depicts the psychology of a tortured pianist through the worst lover relationship in the movie.

These two films are the greatest film achievements of 2 1 century, which combine fascinating stories with well-made films and make the audience feel confused and uneasy.

2. Li Changdong

This Korean master is another filmmaker who will become my top director before 2020.

His characters are perfectly portrayed, full of sadness and longing, but he is not afraid to let them fall into serious defects. Every one of his main characters is sympathetic, but there are also some assholes. The audience must constantly argue about their feelings for the protagonist.

In this respect, he is similar to PTA in South Korea, and his talent is more because he is a screenwriter and role in a complex film environment than a director. But that doesn't mean his movies are not good. They are.

So far, his masterpiece is my second favorite movie in ten years: Burning. This film embodies all the mysteries, and transplants it into a shocking real situation, and at the same time creates subtle and complex social comments through the relationship between the three protagonists.

Although Burning is one step ahead, Poetry, Secret Sunshine and Oasis are also excellent.

1: Miyazaki Hayao

No matter how many, I am confident to call Miyazaki Hayao my favorite director. Each of his films is luxuriously rendered, deeply personalized and powerfully displayed.

Although he likes to reuse some storylines, the real reason why Miyazaki Hayao's films are different is that he injects illusory beauty into his images. Quiet moments are always accompanied by grand emotional declarations.

Each of his characters is lifelike, developing through images and actions rather than dialogue. There is always a precedent for the way they react to the atmosphere (mainly through expression). Turn each of his protagonists into incredible nuances.

I saw all his photos this year. In my opinion, his masterpieces are Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro and Fluctuation of the Wind, which is one of the most intensive movies I have ever seen (and also my favorite). But isn't this ignoring Kiki's delivery service Ponyo and Princess Mononoke? They are all their own masterpieces.

It's simple. No one would do that.
