Would you Direct Movies For...

[Kane52630]

i would do it for for the critical acclaim

 

[CBGB]

The love of movies and critical acclaim. I would want my name to go down in history.

 

[Project862006]

i would do it just because i love it

 

[ChickenScratch]

Money

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Definitely for the fun of it,but eventually I would probably get obsessed with Critical Acclaim.

 

[Project862006]

this is how i see it

If you do it for Fame - you become like Brett Ratner
If you do it for money - you become michael bay
if you do it for acclaim - you do oscar bait films
do it for fun of making movies - you get danny boyle or chris nolan

 

[Gilpesh]

I'll direct movies for the money and the fun. Then I'll become Kevin Smith.

 

[Project862006]

you mean fat white and Ben Afflecks BFF

 

[Gilpesh]

Hey hey hey. Rich also.

 

[xwolverine2]

id do it to entertain people... that'd be my main goal in making a film

but i would have to get paid lol

 

[Tron Bonne]

For me I guess the big one would be to entertain. I would try to be double edged with it, though, I'd set out to make a entertaining but I would still want to also use that movie to explore themes I found relevant. There's nothing wrong with popcorny entertainment or anything, but I know if I were in those shoes I would want to at least express something with my work.

As far as money, well, we all need money to live, but I think I would be okay if I made enough to help keep me and a potential family decent financially with a little wayward to splurge on some things. I'm pretty easy to satisfy honestly as far as materialism is concerned.

Critical Acclaim would be nice, but I tend to not give a **** about stuff like that. It'd be cool to be praised and lauded but I don't think I'd do anything purely for that reason

That poll needs more options.

 

[Project862006]

yeah add Bored for guys like uwe boll

 

[CELTICPRED]

I'd like to bring back the funny spoof movie like Spaceballs, Air Plane, or Hot Shots.

So I guess I'd do it for the comedy fans.

?

this is how i see it

If you do it for Fame - you become like Brett Ratner
If you do it for money - you become michael bay
if you do it for acclaim - you do oscar bait films
do it for fun of making movies - you get danny boyle or chris nolan

And if you do it for all of the above you become Steven Spielberg.

 

[vanson]

i think you can't put a director in one of these categories.
its a mixture from all of them...

 

[dude stannis]

For fun and to hopefully resurrect some careers (Wesley Snipes I'm looking at you).

 

[Dr Strange]

I would make movies because it would be what i love doing. Critical Acclaim and money are all part of the machine of making a movie but i believe if you make films then you have a belief in what you are doing and you care for the project and you would enjoy what you are making.

 

[Laderlappen]

I think every good director does it because they enjoy it.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

The love of movies, defenitely. I'd put all my passion into it.

 

[nite-owl]

So I could sleep on a big pile of money next to some beautiful women.

 

[Jochimus]

To quote a better man than I, "For the money, for the glory, and for the fun. Mostly for the money." t:

 

[returntovoid]

I would direct for the fun of movies, not too bothered about the money but if I get decent income, then that's just fine.

As for Critical acclaim, I would not give a s**t what Critics think since they like Oscar bait movies.

I would revive genre's such as the badass 80's/early 90's action movies, serious Crime movies with Neo-noir visual style.

Also, I would direct comic book movies that are moderately true to the source material.

 

[Max J Power]

For the fun. But honestly, if I got critical acclaim for one film, I might seek it more actively in subsequent films.

 

[8wid]

For the fun of making your vision come true.
