The 10 best directors in the world so far, let’s see who they are

First of all, thank you all for opening this article. The list of

is based on the actual situation and sorted out one by one. It may be different from some more authoritative organizations. Therefore, some issues should be considered in light of actual conditions.

It has been more than 100 years since the film was born from 1895 to the present. In these 100 years, countless excellent films have been produced, and the creators of these films have become masters for generations. Everyone who likes movies will know these masters well, so today, I want to make a ranking.

First place: Steven Spielberg

The reason I chose Spielberg as the first place is very simple, because I think he made the best film-" Schindler's List ". The film is a huge production, and the box office is also very rewarding. It won seven Oscars and , including the best film award, the best director award, and the best soundtrack award. In addition to the Oscars, the film also won seven British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, three Golden Globe Awards and .

Note: The best film selected by American Film Institute is "Citizen Kane" in 1941.

Steven Spielberg , born on December 18, 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a Jewish American director, screenwriter, and producer. Steven is considered to be one of the important figures in the American New Wave movement in the 20th century. In 2006, "Premier Magazine" listed Spielberg as the most authoritative and influential figure in the film industry. "Time" magazine listed him as one of the 100 most important figures of the century. At the end of the 20th century, Life magazine named Spielberg as the most influential figure of his generation.

’s representative works include great white shark, Raiders of the Lost Ark , alien E.T., Jurassic Park , Schindler’s list of , rescue soldier Ryan , top player , etc.

Spielberg won the Oscar for Best Director twice for his "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan".

Second place: Stanley Kubrick

I chose Kubrick for the second place probably just because I like it. After all, he does not have an Oscar, and his surface competitiveness is still slightly insufficient, but who would not choose him after hearing his name? This is called the man closest to God.

Stanley Kubrick, born in New York, USA on July 26, 1928, is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. He graduated from Columbia University . In 1980, directed the horror film " the shining ", which had an impact on the development of horror movies. In 1987, a documentary-style war film " full metal shell " was filmed. In 1996, directed his last film "Open Eyes". In 1997, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 54th Venice International Film Festival. He passed away in the UK on March 7, 1999.

Among them, in 1968, Kubrick used his amazing talent to combine scientific realism and innovative special effects to create "2001 A Space Odyssey ", which is called an unprecedented great movie . This movie won him his only Oscar for best visual effects . Steven Spielberg called this movie the "Big Bang" of his generation and is considered one of the greatest movies of all time.

Although many of Kubrick’s films are quite controversial and received extreme reviews at the beginning of their release, most of the films eventually won Oscars, Golden Globes or British Academy Film Awards nominations, and won Re-evaluation by the critics.

To be honest, I think Kubrick is a bit like Stephen Chow. The values ​​of his works were too advanced and not understood until later.It was only gradually accepted.

third place: Alfred Hitchcock

I like suspense films, I like Hitchcock.

Alfred Hitchcock (August 13, 1899-April 29, 1980), was born in London, England, director, screenwriter, producer, and actor. He has dual citizenship in the United Kingdom and the United States. Entered the film industry as a subtitle designer in 1920. In 1922, he directed his first film "No. 13". Since 1925, he has independently directed films. The suspense film "The Tenant", written and directed by himself in 1926, became the work that established his filming style. In 1979, he won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement Award. He was awarded the title of knight in 1980.

Hitchcock has shot more than 50 films during his 60-year artistic career, and has become a veritable film master. Most of his works have withstood the test of time, such as "" Classic movies will still be deeply shocked if you go to watch them now.

Here I recommend Hitchcock’s three movies for everyone to watch, "Butterfly Dream", "Terror" and "Victorious". These three are all good movies.

horror

ecstasy, also translated as vertigo

butterfly dream

fourth place: James Cameron

James Cameron was born on August 16, 1954 in , Ontario, Canada. He is a Hollywood film director and screenwriter. In 1981, directed the first film "Piranha 2: Reproduction". In 1984, he became famous because of the self-directed science fiction film " Terminator ". In 1986, he wrote and directed the movie " Alien 2". In 1991, with the movie " Terminator 2" won the 18th Saturn Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay. With "Titanic", he won the 70th Oscar for Best Director Award. In 2010, he was selected as the "World's Most Influential Person" by Time Magazine; in the same year he won the American Visual Effects Guild Award and Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2011, he won the Milestone Award of the American Producers Association Award.

's masterpiece "Avatar" was once the top box office work in the history of world cinema. It was not replaced by "Avengers 4: Endgame" until July 20, 2019; however, with Avatar in China in 2021 and Re-released in some regions, Avatar's movie box office also surpassed "Avengers", once again becoming the world's highest movie box office number one.

I believe people who like to watch movies should have seen all their movies, they are all classic movies.

fifth place: Kurosawa Akira

Kurosawa Akira can be said to be the pride of Asia, and many of his works are phenomenal blockbusters. Some of his creative ideas and shooting techniques have been borrowed by many Hollywood directors, including George Lucas 's "Star Wars" series.

Kurosawa Akira, born in 1910 in 1150 Oimachi, Ebara County, Tokyo, Japan. Japanese film director, screenwriter, and producer. In 1972, the Russian drama "Delsu Uzala" was filmed. The film won the 9th Moscow National Film Festival Gold Award and the 48th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1985, the war film "Chaos" was filmed, and the film won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 40th British Academy of Film Awards. In 1990, he won the 62nd Oscar Award for Lifetime Achievement. In 1993, he wrote and directed the drama "Curling Sunset Love". On the afternoon of September 6, 1998, Kurosawa AkiraDied in Tokyo from a stroke at the age of 88.

Akira Kurosawa himself once said that he was deeply influenced by the American film master John Ford , and used the classic Hollywood narrative method in his narrative method. Therefore, , his films are more integrated than other Japanese film masters. With Western characteristics, it is easier to be accepted by Western audiences . The 1985 "Chaos" fully embodies his artistic expressiveness of combining East and West.

Kurosawa Akira is so respected, in addition to his excellent directing talent, usually he also has several roles such as screenwriter, producer and editing, and can be called a comprehensive film producer. Therefore, his omnipotent control over the artistic genius of the film enables him to have strict control over every work, and his personal style and performance effects can fully reflect .

Sixth place: Sergio Leone

This person is completely I think he should be in this place, so as to give him a certain ranking. His works are too classic and perfect.

Sergio Leone is a well-known Italian director, screenwriter, and producer. Since 1964, he has been shooting three "Fistiller Series" Italian-style Westerns for three consecutive years and has been popular with fans all over the world.

Although Leonney has only directed seven films himself (most of the other creative identities are screenwriters, producers and associate directors), his influence on the world film industry is extremely profound, especially action films and crime films and directors , Such as the famous Hong Kong director Wu Yusen and American director Martin Scorsese. , especially the movie "Once Upon a Time in the West", a three-hour masterpiece, is known as the greatest western in film history. He himself is also known as the master of Western films.

readers who haven't watched this film can go and see it. If you don't think it is too long, the 4-hour "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​is also a good choice. I personally like feature films very much.

seventh place: Li Ann

Now that there is finally a Chinese director in the row, it is not easy.

Ang Lee (Ang Lee) was born on October 23, 1954 in Chaozhou Town, Pingtung County, Taiwan. His ancestral home is Dean, Jiangxi. He is a screenwriter and director. He graduated from New York University . In 1995, he won seven Oscar nominations for the English film " Sense and Emotion ", and won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for " Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ". He has won the 78th Academy Awards Best Director Award, the 85th Academy Awards Best Director Award, the 58th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Best Director Award, and the 44th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award. Awarded the Best Director Award, the 44th Annual Taiwan Outstanding Film Worker Award and other awards. Ang Lee's other representative works include " Brokeback Mountain ", "Lust and Caution", "Fantasy Drifting of Juvenile School", "Wedding Banquet" and so on.

Ang Lee is the only director who has won two best films in the history of Berlin Film Festival . Ang Lee is also the first Chinese director in history who has won the best director award at the three major international film award ceremonies of the Oscars, the British Academy of Film Awards and the Golden Globe Awards.

Ang Lee's film quality is definitely there, otherwise he would not have won so many awards. I like his "Fantasy Drifting of the Boy Pie" very much. If you haven't watched this movie, you can go to see it.

Eighth: Christopher Nolan

Is Nolan eighth? I don't know, but I think he can be the eighth place .

Christopher Edward Nolan is a British male director, screenwriter and producer. 's ten films have earned more than $4.7 billion in box office worldwide. Nolan's films always revolve around an emotional or conceptual theme. " memory fragment " is about guilt ( Leonard z1Since 0z failed to save his wife, he couldn't remember what he did afterwards) and the personality identification instinct, which reflect people's dependence on memory. The deceptive nature of memory. "Insomnia" is about guilt (Freddy kills his friend by accident), and reflects people's dependence on sleep. "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" is about guilt (Bruce Wayne firmly believes that he is responsible for the death of his parents) and the instinct of fear. In " Deadly Magic ", Nolan focuses on guilt (Angel is angry at what happened to his wife) and perplexity and obsession (two magicians who were friends turned against each other). His non-linear narration is also well-known. It has outstanding performances in "Tracking", "Shards of Memory", and "Deadly Magic". The scenes presented one after another raise the audience's questions about what happened at that time. Although "Insomnia" and "Batman: The Mystery of Shadows" adopt a more linear narration, they still have flashback plots.

I recommend his "Memories" and " Dunkirk ", they are all very good movies. It's worth seeing. Especially "Shards of Memories", it is simply entangled in it.

ranked ninth: Zhang Yimou

Lao Mouzi ranked ninth because of his great contribution to the development of Chinese movies. In 2018, Zhang Yimou won the Venice Film Festival Filmmaker Honor Award (English). He is the first Chinese to receive this award and the only director who can win all the major awards of the Venice Film Festival within ten years. The conference commented on him: "Represents the evolution of global film language, but also represents the amazing development of Chinese film. Zhang Yimou transformed the richness of the author, story and Chinese culture into a beautiful and unique visual style, and is a pioneer of film art."

Zhang Yimou, born in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province on April 2, 1950, a Chinese film director, one of the representative figures of the "fifth generation of directors", graduated from Beijing Film Academy Photography Department, Boston University , Yale University honor PhD. In the early days, he was famous for directing literary and artistic films, but later he turned to directing commercial films. His directorial works have won many international film festival awards, including two Venice Golden Lion Awards best film and one Berlin Golden Bear Award best film. He has also served as the jury and chairman of international film festivals. He has been nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and , and five times for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. He has also served as the jury and chairman of international film festivals many times. Zhang Yimou's representative works include " Qiuju fights the lawsuit ", " can not be less than ", " ambush ", " alive ", " red sorghum " and other film and television works.

Tenth place: Bong Junhao

Bong Junhao is a very bold creative director. His most iconic narrative is in the drama, dark crime, black humor or slapstick humor. Style switching (sometimes when different clips are connected), the use of this technique is completely natural for Bong Junhao.

Bong Junho (Korean: 봉준호, September 14, 1969 -), Korean film director, producer and screenwriter. In his early years, he first gained a group of cult film followers through the black comedy " Kidnapping the Dog at the Door " (2000), until later he made the thriller crime film "Memories of Murder" (2003), which was a huge success in word-of-mouth and box office. , Monster movie "Han River Monster" (2006), sci-fi action film "Snow Country Train", black comedy "Tamako" (2013) and Oscar-winning psychological thriller "Parasite" (2019) ), "Han River Monster" was one of the highest-grossing movies in South Korea, and "Parasite" was the highest-grossing Korean movie in history.

In 2017, Feng Junhao was included in Metacritic's list of the 25 best film directors of the 21st century. In 2020, Feng was included in Time Magazine’s “Annual List of 100 Most Influential People” and BloombergFifty people.
