His only problem is that he doesn't seem to trust the audience enough to understand his message. hurts his movies, even the good ones
His flow chart to making a story goes like this
okay i'm going to make a film about a the struggles of single parenthood for example
"frames the film around a character who is a single parent." Me: Ok lets see where this goes.
"Shows the character dealing with struggles." Me: ok i think i see where this is going, i'm with you.
"Character has revelation during a major turning point in the movie states the premise of the film out loud that being a single parent is hard." Me: Ok, a little on the nose but i'm still with you.
"has every character in the movie do monologue talking about the struggles of being a single parent while looking directly into the camera. while the camera rotates around them 360 degrees." Me: holy shyt, i get it, being a single parent is hard. back to the movie please.
"the end, dedicated to all the single parents"
