![]() ![]() I had to check how much of it was real - and surprising amount of visual effects was used in the film. Sicario looked awesome, and the locations were big part of that. It's lots of work to find filming locations, build the sets and transport tens or hundreds of people to the location for the shoot, etc., but skipping all that is just laziness. When Tom Hardy was hanging from a moving truck in Fury Road, you could tell he really was hanging from a moving truck. When the actors are interacting with the set, it looks real. Overuse of green screen is damn easy to spot - especially in a action scene. As you said, it's great to fix things, but also enhance scenes, if you do it subtly enough. Fury Road, for example used quite a lot of CGI/VFX but it did it smartly, and it looked great. Luckily, there have been some good examples of what one can achieve by using real sets recently. Lucas is one of the worst offenders in the bad use of CGI and green screen. Once they have money they have this idea they can just use CGI to fix all the hard parts of making a movie (a la George Lucas). Harrison Ford has been giving mostly lazy performances for like a decade or more now, but he did a fine job with Blade Runner 2049. It's hard not to see how brilliant his films look visually and how good performances he gets out of his actors. Even someone who's fucked in the brain should recognize talent when it's that clear. I dunno, maybe he's really convincing when he's directing. Most studio/executive meddling seems to be happening around marvel/dc/etc. None of his films are part of a existing film franchise, except Blade Runner, and the studios probably didn't care much about it. Maybe he's just choosing his films smartly. They take talented young directors and throw them into massive cgi-filled blockbusters(marvel movies and such), but then don't trust them and let them actually direct the movie. True, lots of directors seem to struggle when they move from smaller budget movies into big film territory - although I feel like studios aren't doing them any favors. ![]() He's such a great director that it doesn't matter what he's given he makes great movies. A lot of directors can do small stuff or big stuff but not both. ![]()
