Do you know this name? Not? And, meanwhile, this person made the best film in history according to imDb and KinoPoisk (in the second case, even the two best). Everyone seems to have watched The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, but few know the name of their creator. And rightly so - he did not deserve it. Why are these "great" films overrated - the main fault on the director - he shoots so polished, academically and facelessly. Not only that, in these creations there is no cinematic revelation, but they do not have the main thing - the author’s style. According to the textbook, Darabont simply squeezes tears from the viewer.
Tim Burton.
Important tip: when you meet a person whose favorite director is Tim Burton, just run. He (or rather, she) either got stuck in 2007, or went nuts, or masturbates at night on fantasies about the intercourse of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (which fits into the previous two points).
Burton is recognizable, but that’s all. He tries to be different from the rest, like a teenager with hormonal disorder. Tim gathered a huge fan base, but really did not achieve anything: he did not make a single masterpiece, lost his status of being the director of best “Batman” movie in history and did not even give Depp any of his outstanding roles. Burton will forever remain a strange gothic man, a hero of puberty, who is more pleasant to listen to than to watch.

Completely agree with this. I watched this movie 10 times or so, and the Godfather trilogy barely once. Better to spend time on Sopranos.
