So far I've seen Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, The Fountain now I just need to watch the final movie, the Black Swan XD He is the best director ever!
@kenzoi haha i just was thinkin the same thing...Boyle was like " no video playback???"....its seroiusly impossible to comprehend how much harder that is, especially by choice
@TzipKing what is wrong with you. Nolan too has made masterpieces of his own. There are better and more intelligent ways to prostitute yourself for a thumbs up rating mate. Did you forget Memento, Insomnia, Inception?
@slutbunwallah Notice how I asked for thumbs up from people who share the same opinion? if you don't like it you're welcome to go to some Nolan fanboy forum and mingle with people who share YOUR opinion.
@TzipKing Obviously no one agrees with you. Its been a month and not a single thumb. Christopher is easily one of my favorite directors because he knows what he is doing, can have twist endings, his editing style is really nice, he knows how and when to make a cut or a fade, there are so many things I like about him but by far the greatest thing about Nolan is that he has written every film he directed. So not only does he know how to direct, he also knows how to write a good story to start.
@AVSurks Wow, you're still going on about this? it's really kind of sad that you have to go back and dig up some old opinion of mine and resort to childish name calling. I'm trying to be nice but I have better things to do.
@TzipKing Its really kind of sad that you directly call out one of the years greatest directors and says he sucks and then when someone confronts you on your opinion you back down right away.
I hope Darren does not make The Wolverine to brutal like his other films. His movies get to crazy in some scenes which make you run for cover. I know he'll do well.
@calmsnowfall I agree completely as he is my favorite filmmaker but I dont think that takes away from these two in any sense especially Darren Aronofsky who is a master of film especially for the young filmmakers of today. Its not like there can only be one great filmmaker and the rest are rubbish especially since your dissing two really great film makers with there own style and not just paycheck filmmakers
I admit Sunshine isnt danny's greatest film, and the surprise twist in genre that you mention is a matter of taste. However, I think that its unfair that it was received badly when other, worser films, take alot more money. I rather watch a bad danny boyle film than a transformers film
They're among the best directors of all times. I love the editing in their movies and how they can pull the best out of their actors. This is true expecially for Aronofsky: the acting is always superb in his movies.
i can happily say that boyle and aronofsky are my two fav directors still working today, if not my favourite of all time. imo they are the most original and unique in the industry, and their most recent films black swan and 127 hours are both brilliant
it would make my day if either one of these guys wins the oscar this year, and if not i hope they still carry on making great movies
I have nothing but respect for both these directors.
I have seen Requiem, Pi, fountain and just watched black swan last night.
Black swan is one of the top 10 best movie i have ever seen, and Requirem is to date the scariest movie i have seen. I din't even flintched at "it" or "paranomal activities" but really have to talk me into seeing Requiem for a long time before a do it.
Danny boyle has a way of making ordinary scenes very beautiful and Aronifsky kan make is dark, hard and true.
Aronofsky is dreamy and emotional, and its good and all, but the movies themselves are never that good. Its bad when Requiem is someone's best movie (although i havnt seen Black Swan)
It's so hard to explain the styles of these two film makers. Danny is so kinetic and energetic and Aronofsky is dream-like, inteligent, and mental. The closest these two stepped toward each other is Sunshine and The Fountain. But either way, influences for sure.
Danny Boyle's SUNSHINE and Darren Aronofsky's BLACK SWAN were just awesome! I know some say their sense of style can be dark, but I think in this day and age it's quite fair to shed as much darkness as there is light to grip the audience. These two directors seem to pull that off quite well.
why are people on here constantly arguing about who is the better filmmaker ??? seriously, they are both brilliant so why not leave it at that ?. it's not a competition when you're making art.
@TheEvilelvis89 Sometimes its in everyone's genes to want to compete with someone. It may not be revealed pubicly, but inside everyone, they want to compete with something because it can challenge them to make something better and more interesting.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is not a fucking competition. but Boyle beats the fuck out of aronofsky. Aronofsky is a fuckin tool. the wrestler was garbage, he had mickey rourke play a washup what a stretch, those fucking following shots behind mickey rourke make you fucking sick and the editing is terrible. Aronofsky is so fuckin full of himself and he's made 1 passible teen drug movie that I've seen time and time again. Boyle is a top notch story teller and along with David Fincher, and Michael Ann, is one of the best
Darren is such a talented lad who got the ranklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal.And danny after his school started with Joint Stock Theatre Company.Both are from different environment blokes.Come on stop comparing & cherish every second of their creation.They both are our gifts. Just keep admiring their work
What is the point in comparing lads.These blokes ve made it to the business & we ve not....Just because we all own an account in you tube to watch random videos & leaf through the posts we cant become the fucking jury members to comments on these beautiful directors.
It's kind of hard to comparre these two in terms of quality. Boyle is a kinetic director interested in defying genre conventions. Aronofsky is interested in different styles of direction and exploring new ideas. Boyle is brilliant at what he does, although the third act of 'Sunshine' isn't great and 'The Beach' wasn't exactly the best, but 'Trainspotting, 28 days Later, Slumdog Millionaire and Shallow Grave are great. Aronofsky has given us Pi, Requiem for a Dream, the Fountain and the Wrestler.
@harrinski Sorry they didn't give me enough space to explain in depth. I liked it but I felt like the shift in story in the third act was too far removed from the rest of the film. This works in '28 Days Later' but it didn't work in 'Sunshine'. It's a good film up until that point. And it is handled well but the transition to it was a bit to sloppy for me.
@harrinski It was an awesome movie until the third act when they find the other spaceship. They had so many other problems and then oh wait SPOILERS!!!!!! It turns into a B horror movie with a really cliched point of view. I love danny boyle's movies but sunshine could have been better.
Boyle better than Aronofsky?!!!!!!! Requiem for a Dream alone is way ahead of what Boyle's ever done. You can learn to be very good at what you do but no one teaches you to be a genius. You either are or aren't. Aronofsky IS. Period.
Darren Aronofsky sucks ass. He's a pretentious jerkoff. Requiem was ok but Its a teen drug movie, its been done before. The Fountain sucked ass just a bunch of abstract buddhist garbage that never came together. The Wrestler was awful, a studio film posing as an indie, the editing was terrible and the intentionally bad camera work was just plain insulting, He had mickey rourke playing a washup how hard is that?! and he still fucked it up. It pisses me off that he's even in the same room as Boyle
Sunshine, The Fountain ... no more words. Two of the most moving films in the last decade. Though Trainspotting, Pi, 28 Days Later, Requiem for a Dream ... if only Fincher was involved. These guys actually prove that some artists still work in film. Awesome.
no way. The Wrestler and Requiem are shot in completely different ways. Thats what I love about Aronofsky, he only ever does whats right for whats going on in the movie. Theres no one rule that he follows or anything. One technique might not always work for every scene, or even the type of movie.
Yeah, they are both artists. I love em both! They are so switched on and know exactly what we want in movies. They can take the most basic stories (like The Wrestler) and make it very interesting and keep us on the edge of our seats
these are great videos. this should happen more. two geniuses interviewing eachother rather than some shiny tv presenter who pretends to know stuff...
@siminho86 I do, and although i was stokedddd, to see this, it feels nothing like an acid trip, imagine more like a cross between the fountain and pi and the beach, that's more what it feels like.
@jerk0009 They're not my favorite directors of all time, but they are two of my favorites that are working today. I suggest you go see a professor of English, or read a few more books, to better understand what people express through the English language.
@ouro74 I accidentally clicked "vote down" instead of "vote up". I have to tell you I completely agree. "The Fountain" is and will always be the best film I have ever seen hands down, no contest THE BEST. It's brilliant on every level of the film-making craft.
@ouro74 I honestly think "The Fountain" was a really complex movie for my taste. Me wanting to be a filmmaker and studying the works of the big name filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Alfred Hitchcock, Oliver Stone, Clint Eastwood, Christopher Nolan, etc., I heard of Darren Aronofsky and gave him a try, starting with "The Fountain." I love how the movie was made (in terms of effects and overall story), but it was too complex and I didn't like it. I did see "Black Swan" and absolutely love it.
@Andybato Yeah, I'm not a film expert, but I have to agree with you. The Fountain had a lot of ambition and some interesting concepts, but it just felt muddled, as if it wasn't really sure what it wanted to do with itself and collapsed under the weight of its own overworked premise. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but that's my opinion.
@Onyxmyr I agree with you on not calling it a masterpiece. I'm not even a film expert myself! I just teach myself about film making by reading books and watching the movies. The movie overall is just too complex. Have you watch any other Darren Aronofsky movies? Other than "The Fountain," I watched Black Swan.
@ouro74 Slumdog is incredibly overrated... the first half of the film is great - the child performers were the saving grace. You're right too about The Fountain - EPIC!
I love these two!! Such wonderful directors! But I do wonder if they called each other the night before?... In my little world, I imagine the conversation to have been something like this:
"Hey Big D"
"Hey D!"
"D... you're the man"
"No, seriously, D, you are"
"You flatter me! Say, Big D... what are you wearing tomorrow, I don't want us to look the same."
"Classic jeans, black shirt, grey jacket... Hey D, I really appreciate your thought!"
you guys seem to forget the most influential director of american cinema.D.W Griffith.With him directors like Scorcese would never have been able to find their inspiration.He set the basis for the most known techniques in directing.Learn the history of Hollywood first and then choose the most influential directors.I am not saying that any of these directors are important but i want to outline that there are many other directors that have been forgotten by time not exceeded by the others talent
ill go for Dreyer, Bresson, Tarkovsky, Ozu Bela tarr david lynch Jarmusch Kaurismaki Pasolini Greenaway.. Boyle and arosnosfky have to learn from the masters...
Downright silly to have Spielberg that low on the list. Eliminate his big budget flicks and popcorn movies and he's still ridiculously accomplished. Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Close Encounter's? Blah, to each his own.
Two of my favorite directors Darren's movies 1. Requiem for a Dream 2. The Wrestler 3. Pi 4. The Fountain Danny's 1. Trainspotting 2. Slumdog Millionaire 3. 28 Days Later 4. Millions
Both filmmakers have influenced me personally, I just recently saw Requiem- For a Dream for the first time; and ranks to be the most disturbing film I've ever visually seen. Aronofsky essentially brought the best out of Ellen Burstyn. These are the most influencial filmmakers to me personally. 1. Stanley Kubrick 2. Martin Scorsese 3. Alfred Hitchcock 4. Francis Ford Coppola 5. Paul Thomas Anderson 6. Roman Polanski 7. Sidney Lumet 8. Gus Van Sant 9. Joel & Ethan Coen 10. Spike Lee
Perhaps years from now Boyle and Aronofsky will be classifed in the same category as those men. But for now, no way.
I also love this generation of directors, for sure. If I were a betting man, I'd say that guys like Fincher, Aronofsky, and Boyle will be in that list, but they haven't came close to it yet.
Kubrick, Hitchcock, Speilberg. Ford, Spielberg, Scorsese, Polanksi, Eastwood...those are some of my favorites.
Like I said, Boyle and Aronofsky are very good directors, but they haven't earned nowhere near that status as being "2 best ever directors" or even in the top 10.
Well there's a difference when it comes to "the best" directors, and "favorite" directors.
Claiming that Aronofsky and Boyle are the 2 best directors ever is not only a stretch, but pretty impossible.
To Aronofsky's credit, he's only directed 2 films that most would consider a masterpiece. Pi and The Fountain (although I enjoyed them) won't be remembered.
Same with Boyle. He's directed some good films, but his track record isn't nearly as impressive as the directors I mentioned.
So you believe Aronofsky is the best director ever because of one film? Not even an acclaimed one at that. The Fountain was very hit or miss and will most certainly be forgotten years from now, unlike Hitchcock, Kubrick, or Ford that have made multiple films that are timeless classics.
Well, my favorite director doesn't happen to be Aronofsky, but I believe The Fountain, Requiem, and The Wrestler were perfect (haven't seen Pie yet). I don't care if a film is critically acclaimed at all. Fight Club wasn't at first, neither was Clockwork Orange. It took time for them. I have certain set standards that all films must adhere to for me to truly appreciate them.
Believe me, I am not saying I don't love me some Kubrick, I do.
Just prefer the things being done in this day and age.
Directors like Paul, Aronofsky, Fincher and Boyle, they are getting better and better with each films they made. Hope that they will make "timeless classics" that made them our generation of great film makers.
the film was like a slap on my face! damn, occidental audience is overprotected, this film shows us how the real world people are struggling! we got to stop complaigning! our situation aint so bad!
I can tell from Danny boyle that he has that behavior only the great dirctors can get. Its hard to describe but a sense of freedom they have. The WRESTLER director looks like he can't describe himself as his own only as worker. MAKES MY JOB MORE EASIER
really informative and interesting

@siminho86 I do, and although i was stokedddd, to see this, it feels nothing like an acid trip, imagine more like a cross between the fountain and pi and the beach, that's more what it feels like.

@jerk0009 They're not my favorite directors of all time, but they are two of my favorites that are working today. I suggest you go see a professor of English, or read a few more books, to better understand what people express through the English language.

The Fountain is a masterpiece. The Wrestler was better than Slumdog Millionaire.

@ouro74 I accidentally clicked "vote down" instead of "vote up". I have to tell you I completely agree. "The Fountain" is and will always be the best film I have ever seen hands down, no contest THE BEST. It's brilliant on every level of the film-making craft.

@actionfiguremovies85 i didnt understand some parts of that movie. If i understood everything i might think it was awsome.

@ouro74 I honestly think "The Fountain" was a really complex movie for my taste. Me wanting to be a filmmaker and studying the works of the big name filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Alfred Hitchcock, Oliver Stone, Clint Eastwood, Christopher Nolan, etc., I heard of Darren Aronofsky and gave him a try, starting with "The Fountain." I love how the movie was made (in terms of effects and overall story), but it was too complex and I didn't like it. I did see "Black Swan" and absolutely love it.

@Andybato Yeah, I'm not a film expert, but I have to agree with you. The Fountain had a lot of ambition and some interesting concepts, but it just felt muddled, as if it wasn't really sure what it wanted to do with itself and collapsed under the weight of its own overworked premise. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but that's my opinion.
Onyxmyr 1 year ago
@Onyxmyr I agree with you on not calling it a masterpiece. I'm not even a film expert myself! I just teach myself about film making by reading books and watching the movies. The movie overall is just too complex. Have you watch any other Darren Aronofsky movies? Other than "The Fountain," I watched Black Swan.

@Andybato I've seen Requiem and Pi, I haven't seen Black Swan yet but I think I might this weekend.

"Hey Big D"
"Hey D!"
"D... you're the man"
"No, seriously, D, you are"
"You flatter me! Say, Big D... what are you wearing tomorrow, I don't want us to look the same."
"Classic jeans, black shirt, grey jacket... Hey D, I really appreciate your thought!"
TO BE CONTINUED...

you guys seem to forget the most influential director of american cinema.D.W Griffith.With him directors like Scorcese would never have been able to find their inspiration.He set the basis for the most known techniques in directing.Learn the history of Hollywood first and then choose the most influential directors.I am not saying that any of these directors are important but i want to outline that there are many other directors that have been forgotten by time not exceeded by the others talent

Danny and Darron have a lot of common.
Danny made Trainspotting and Darren made Requiem for a dream, 2 of the best films about drugs ever made.

except Trainspotting is a comedy (from what i've heard. i never saw it) and Requiem for a Dream is the most INTENSE DEPRESSING drama ever.
a tad diffferent
breathmusic 2 years ago 2
it isn't fully a comedy. The characters may be a bit funny, but the entire idea behind it is serious, and dark.
Why would you say they're different if you havent even seen one of them?
shieldforumJim 2 years ago
Perhaps years from now Boyle and Aronofsky will be classifed in the same category as those men. But for now, no way.
I also love this generation of directors, for sure. If I were a betting man, I'd say that guys like Fincher, Aronofsky, and Boyle will be in that list, but they haven't came close to it yet.

Who are ur top directors?
iamTrystan 3 years ago
Kubrick, Hitchcock, Speilberg. Ford, Spielberg, Scorsese, Polanksi, Eastwood...those are some of my favorites.
Like I said, Boyle and Aronofsky are very good directors, but they haven't earned nowhere near that status as being "2 best ever directors" or even in the top 10.
LumpyAdams 3 years ago 2
@Lumpy Adams
Good list.
But I guess I happen to disagree because I'm more of a fan of the "new generation" of directors.
Which include Aronofsky, Fincher, Tarantino, Anderson, Spike Jonze, et cetera.
iamTrystan 3 years ago
Well there's a difference when it comes to "the best" directors, and "favorite" directors.
Claiming that Aronofsky and Boyle are the 2 best directors ever is not only a stretch, but pretty impossible.
To Aronofsky's credit, he's only directed 2 films that most would consider a masterpiece. Pi and The Fountain (although I enjoyed them) won't be remembered.
Same with Boyle. He's directed some good films, but his track record isn't nearly as impressive as the directors I mentioned.
LumpyAdams 3 years ago
Well, The Fountain is in my top 5, but it was great talking to you. Thanks for your thoughts.
iamTrystan 3 years ago
So you believe Aronofsky is the best director ever because of one film? Not even an acclaimed one at that. The Fountain was very hit or miss and will most certainly be forgotten years from now, unlike Hitchcock, Kubrick, or Ford that have made multiple films that are timeless classics.
LumpyAdams 3 years ago
Well, my favorite director doesn't happen to be Aronofsky, but I believe The Fountain, Requiem, and The Wrestler were perfect (haven't seen Pie yet). I don't care if a film is critically acclaimed at all. Fight Club wasn't at first, neither was Clockwork Orange. It took time for them. I have certain set standards that all films must adhere to for me to truly appreciate them.
Believe me, I am not saying I don't love me some Kubrick, I do.
Just prefer the things being done in this day and age.
iamTrystan 3 years ago
What do you think about Paul Thomas Anderson?
There Will Be Blood is really really great.
Directors like Paul, Aronofsky, Fincher and Boyle, they are getting better and better with each films they made. Hope that they will make "timeless classics" that made them our generation of great film makers.

Paul Thomas Anderson is definately one of the greats. Magnolia is just amazing to me.
