| Trademarks: |
Flamboyant visual style using a combination of dynamic compositions, highly-saturated color schemes and visual effects.
Often speeds-up and slows-down motion during action sequences in movies like 300 (2006), Watchmen (2009) and Justice League (2017)
Slow motion shots of a fist punching a cheek
Movies have very high body counts, sometimes accompanied with widespread metropolitan destruction (Watchmen, Man of Steel). '300' alone has an estimated body count of 585.
Films generally deal with the tragic nature of heroism. |
| Quotes: |
It's difficult to find a movie that feels true to itself. You feel the hand of Hollywood, the moviemaking by committee, on everything.
<br />
<hr>
[on Man of Steel (2013)] I think it's drawing on all mythology; comic book, religion, ancient, philosophical.
<br />
<hr>
[on the Superman character] All the movies I've made, I've made with a slight bit of irony. Not even a slight bit. A fair amount. But the ironic part of [ 'Man of Steel'] is that it's not ironic. You know what I mean? No tongue in cheek, no winking at the camera, no apologies. It's Superman. He deserves that. In my mind, we really had to act as if no films had been made. It's like we just found this comic book lying on the ground under a bed, and we were like, This would be a cool movie.
<br />
<hr>
[For me] Superman is this adopted son, this immigrant story, this guy trying to find his place in the world. What's his purpose, what is he supposed to do, how is he supposed to be?
<br />
<hr>
[promoting Watchmen (2009) and before he was hired for Man of Steel (2013)] In this world, if Superman really existed, he'd grab all the world leaders together in a room and say, 'Behave or I'll kill you.' |
