This can be considered as film makers who I wish could direct my life, but the truth is that my life is wayy too boring and lackluster for them. Instead, I want to be one of the brilliant characters in their films, because then I would be awesomely quirky or drop-dead gorgeous or super smart or deliciously badass.
Honourable mentions: Steven Spielberg except I really only want to be Indiana Jones, Peter Jackson but not anyone from Heavenly Creatures or The Lovely Bones (the only PJ films that I have seen are the aforementioned and LoTR films), P.T Anderson but not really (no Daniel Plainview for me), Richard Curtis so that I can get charming, funny, handsome, brunette, blue-eyed British men or Hugh Grant.
The list (not in any particular order because I cannot choose)-
Tim Burton
Yes so his popularity and genius is apparently deteriorating now. But Burton was the king of morbid romantics. His characters runneth over with eccentricity.
John Hughes
Because I am still a teenager and yes I do wish that he had directed my life.

Sofia Coppola
Have you seen the women in her films? I would be oh so beautiful and lovely and mysteriouzzz then. (See how I ruined that? I need help Sofia, please).

Wes Anderson
I wanted to marry the recently released Moonrise Kingdom trailer. Quirky, fun, flawed, brilliant- basically characters as colourful as his films.
Quentin Tarantino
Do I really need to explain this? I would be a total BAMF, that's why!
Edgar Wright
Do I really need to explain this? I would be a total BAMF, that's why!
All the films he has produced/directed/written have one thing in common- insanely epic characters! They are uber violent AND they tickle your funny bone- YES!!
Woody Allen
Uh duh. It's my list. I crave to be a nervous bumbling knowledgeable depressed narcissistic brilliant person. Some one get me a psychoanalyst please!
Billy Wilder
Whether it be comedy or noir, the Wilder characters are always incredible and unforgettable.

Now someone please go find me a magic lamp.
Haha, I would love to be in a Tim Burton film. I would also love to be in a Jean Pierre-Jeunet film (Amelie and MIcmacs - so delightful!)
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a list and nice choices, I'd definitely have Richard Linklater and Kevin Smith on my list!
ReplyDelete@Ruth- I actually did think of Jeunet but I have only seen Amelie from him.
ReplyDelete@Pete- OOh great choices! I've only seen Clerks from Kevin Smith but I sort of feel right at home, or rather want to, with those characters.
agree 100 % with you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Much appreciated :D
