| by Richard J. Lovell "Do you believe Samuel L. Jackson being a Black American actor makes him distinguishable as an auteur within Hollywood?" What is an Auteur? For those who may not be aware of what this word means here is a short definition of it; for those who may know what is meant by an Auteur there probably won't be a reason why you must read this, but reading this could probably help you to understand where I am coming from with my question above. An Auteur in the area of film making and production is a 'Filmmaker who has a personal style and keeps creative control over his or her works'. In a sense the a filmmaker goes beyond just making the film (Director auteur) or acting within it (Actor auteur). It almost becomes a piece of art, and their occupation becomes more of an artistic occupation as opposed to just a job. There are more elements to what makes a filmmaker an auteur, but for the sake of simplicity this is a just brief look behind the entire Auteur Theory. Auteur's are usually recognized as an Actor or a Director, despite the involvement of a production crew. Some examples of Actors or Directors which could be considered to be auteur's are: - Tim Burton - Quentin Tarantino - Robert DeNiro - Jackie Chan These are just some mentioned to be recognized as auteur's and a weird list on my behalf sorry :-/ (Note not my personal selection or point of view) Comment on this... |

| by Bill Swisher San, what are you thinking in joining the Micheal Moore Lefties in adding to the Propaganda against BUSH. THe Rock the Vote is nothing but a Left wing arm of the Democratic party, and not the No Partisan group they say. Soooooooo, they lied to you. You made a commerciall for ROCK THE VOTE which claimed that you better watch out who you vote for............ someone might and can add a draft. NO.... LET..... ME ..... SAY..... THIS .... REAL ..... SLOW..... FOR .... you ..... HOLLYWOOD ...... LIBERALs.......... THERE WILL BE NO DRAFT, and scaring people is the norm for the Democrats that hyjacked the Young, Seniors, Blacks and Rock and Roll vote. Bush will win and then you punks that talk down the USA, can go back under your Liberal Hollyweird rock. Sam, use your head before you add to the Propaganda. Comment on this... |

| by A. Dacosta Brathway In my opinion, Samuel L. is the best at the craft right now. Unfortunately, the business does not think so which is the reason why he will never be recognized as such. Pound for pound, Samuel L. brings more to the table when it comes to intensity and passion to a character. Sam is the man, no doubt. Comment on this... |
