So I'm supposed to write this piece about a director of choice and justify whether or not that director is an auteur.
Auteur translated from French to English is author.
Auteur used in an English context means "a filmmaker whose individual style and complete control over all elements of production give a film its personal and unique stamp." Thank you dictionary.com.
Director of choice? Kevin Smith. Auteur? Fuckin' A. Now I just need at least a 1000 words to justify why. This assigment brought about little revisits to the View Askewniverse, which I enjoy once in awhile. Chasing Amy didn't seem this good the first time somehow.
