The Coen Brothers

The Coen Brother's are also pretty good directors..

Just like with Altman, I also enjoyed the three different styles of movies. The first one we watched, Raising Arizona was very funny and I liked the humor in that, and I like also how it focused on the American dream. I enjoyed Fargo, the next movie, because it was set in Minnesota and that held my interest because it was interesting to see things that I reconized. I have heard from a lot of people that they loved No Country For Old Men, although it was a pretty good movie, it wasn't really my type of movie, I hate blood and gore, it definatly draws my attention away from the plot. But I realized it was kind of suspensful to that sometimes brought my attention back until the gross parts came back. I think in all the movies he does a good job of connecting the characters with the setting of the film. Especially in Fargo and No Country For Old Men. Overall I believe The Coen Brothers have become very successful directors with their variety of films, using comedy and suspense.

Altman

I though Altman was a creative director. He used a variety in his films, unlike the last director we watched where it seemed they were all the same. He had Nashville, which was a musical movie, The Player which was more of a detective movie followed by The Long Goodbye. I think having a variety of movies that aren't all alike can keep viewers interested in you because they never know what will come next, and I consider that a good thing. Althougt I didn't really see The Player, I heard a lot of the same styles were used in that one that were used in the other two. Which consisted of few cuts and opening scenes that were long. Out of the two movies I saw, I liked The Long Goodbye the best. I really liked his layed back attitude towards everything. I also really enjoyed the humor he had with his cat and I think that made the movie a little bit more interesting, I love funny movie. Overall I think Altman was a pretty good director!
