He's kinda right (film is a visual media and the visuals are the most important part), but he's also being an autist in thinking it means dialogue isn't important
He's absolutely correct. George Lucas has a similar philosophy. The language of cinema is about the combination of sounds and images. If you care more about dialogue and writing then read a fricking book.
Of course there's many memorable lines in Star Wars, but Lucas has openly said that he always intended the movies to work primarily as silent films, with the dialogue acting more like lyrics to a song.
It's both but many of the best lines were improvised and written by others. Lucas himself knows he has bad dialogue and every actor he has ever worked with has agreed.
No he was 100% correct. Why do you think Star Wars has had the lasting impact it's had and resonates with people all over the world? It's because you could watch the movies in a foreign language without subtitles and still be able to follow the story. They're visual poetry.
Dialogue is written by a table full of new age israelites that think you need to curse every sentence to sound cool. The past 5+ years no one talks like a human being. What the fricking frick is this shit. This is a real shitbox, hey frickwad, welcome to the ouch club mother fricker.
It's a bit stupid to say it like this but he as the right to think that... writing good dialogue is an art in itself and it's not the job of the director to do it.
In French cinema you have a special job for that called "dialoguiste" as in someone who's in charge of writing good dialgues fitting for the characters and for the actors. People who are good at that are often very smart and reads a lot.
Hollywood should really start looking for people like this
That's because frenchies are dumb and need many people to cover many areas, whereas the Hollywood creatives are +140IQ having writing machines who, having been blessed by YHWH, are savants in all things scripts and simulated human interaction
He's right about theaters, especially with modern home setups. Why would anyone go watch something in theaters unless it was a larger than life experience like Top Gun 2, Avatar, or Dune? You going to watch a kids movie or rom come in a theater?
He's 100% right. If your movie needs expository dialogue to explain the situation then you're a bad director. If you need dialogue to know what's going on then you're the autist, unable to understand the emotions and development from well composed shots
he’s just seething cause he can’t write interesting dialogue
No, he's a homosexual pseud.
no, he isn't. I like Villeneuve but all of his works combined will never be as good as 12 Angry Men
He's an autist. Autists hate movies heavy with dialogue because dialogue is the most human aspect of a movie, and it reminds them of their inhumanness
He's kinda right (film is a visual media and the visuals are the most important part), but he's also being an autist in thinking it means dialogue isn't important
oh no. he's a brainlet... bros we've been had...
He's right. Movies should be driven by the audiovisual experience, not the script. If you want good dialogue you should read a book.
Why the frick is he adapting a series like Dune then?
Denny isn't good enough of a visual storyteller to make a movie with minimal dialogue
What a homosexual.
Good movies though.
Sounds like cope, plenty of great movies are carried by dialogue alone.
He's absolutely correct. George Lucas has a similar philosophy. The language of cinema is about the combination of sounds and images. If you care more about dialogue and writing then read a fricking book.
literally tons of star wars lines are super memorable and quoted constantly. not the sequels, of course.
Of course there's many memorable lines in Star Wars, but Lucas has openly said that he always intended the movies to work primarily as silent films, with the dialogue acting more like lyrics to a song.
And he was wrong to think that, it also feels like cope in light of his famously terrible dialogue and inability to direct actors.
>famously terrible dialogue
>super memorable and quoted constantly
Which is it?
It's both but many of the best lines were improvised and written by others. Lucas himself knows he has bad dialogue and every actor he has ever worked with has agreed.

>pure image and sound, that's the power of cinema! *desert rose ya-lay ya-lay plays*

I'll be back.
>im not interested in dialogue
That's an incredibly moronic thing to say and convinces me he is autistic.
it's coping, movie is just as much about communication
>movie is just as much about communication
>communication is just me speak words me make sentences
Holy prime moron
Why can't you have both?
>Why can't you have both?

Communication through visuals is underutilized in film currently, but he's going too far. Based moron.
He's 100% right. If your movie needs expository dialogue to explain the situation then you're a bad director. If you need dialogue to know what's going on then you're the autist, unable to understand the emotions and development from well composed shots
Didn't know Cinemaphile loves marvel quips.
Makes sense though.
>all dialogue ever written is marvel quips
smoothbrain.
Like other anons have pointed out, film is a visual medium, you can elevate a scene with good dialogue but it's the visuals that make it great.
That's not what Villenuve said. According to you he would say "I'm not interested in elevating a scene, that's for tv."
Kind of, yes.
Why did he chose Dune of all books to adapt then? It lives of its dialogues, the rest is kinda bland honestly.
Isn't dune 2 full of dialogue and normal amount of dennis action?
watch this.
all his favorite shots have no dialogues
