Rob Altman

I was really looking forward to this unit. I never saw an Altman film before the Long Goodbye, but i heard good things. I liked every movie we watched. I liked the huge cast he has in Nashville and The Player. "Controlled chaos" is exactly what Altman does in his film. People may think it's gutsy, but I think he's a genius. All the different things going on at once is what keeps the viewer interested in his film. He keeps you guessing to the end, especially in Nashville. I also liked the restless camera. He really uses a little of everything when it comes to cinematography. I don't really like when one single transition, camera shot, or movement is used. I think he is one of the only directors who takes a risk in his story lines. He can create a great movie even when the story isn't that interesting. In The Long Goodbye i like the comedy he uses with the Marilowe character. I likedhis laid back attitude. Overall, I like Altman's way of making a serious movie, while having a little comic relief.
