Which Film Director = U2

Mr Gloria · 06-20-2005, 08:13 PM

I read recently that someone correleted the career of speilburg as beatles like (i.e producing the most popular pieces within its art form)

well i tend to disagree....

here is a list of film directors and what band they seem to be equivalent to...

Hitchcock (Elvis- the king of pop rock/the king of pop cinema)

Kubrick (Beatles - the 10 masterpieces/kubrick 10 masterpieces- will be hard to top)

Tarantino (Nirvana....not a lot of albums/movies...but both have one masterpiece which has shaped the 90's)

Speilburg (u2 - 2nd generation masters..who are unafraid to be commercial and release a piece every 3 years.)

Coen Brothers (Beck- new age artists unafraid to cross genres)

Jean Luc Godard (Kreftwork - europeans who changed the face of music/cinema)

Scorecese (Bowie - experimental but commerical - both gained populairty in the 1970s)

any other sugesstions....
