      Here my favs: Add more layers/details to create your perfect & believable illusion, also called movie. And, directing is an orchestra of obstacles

      "Directing, no matter who you are, is the art of orchestrating accidents." & quoting the Zen saying "The obstacle is the path." An obstacle is only a path that has been looked at wrong. These are great truisms of film making that can be discovered or learned more easily through experience and maturity.

      Obstacle being the path no one figured out yet. Originality. Nothing better in an ocean of creative expression.

    According to Guillermo, directing is the art of orchestrating accidents. True in film making and true in life!!

    as a creator, the first thing you must achieve is to entertain yourself.
    because there is always the chance that the whole world and everyone in it is just an illusion.

      @@Kamandi1971 in economics , every single aspect has thousands of definition , so we can't deny all of them . Same in filmaking - every mind makes movies differently some do layered work like Nolan some do linear work like Spielberg and some do storytelling by technical work like him, we can't deny he is not a good filmaker. It's totally how u percieve his work @megakamandi. Marvel geeks never understand him today but future generations will be.
