Again, there are way too many new films, a lot of people might think, but I hope some of you will agree with some of the choices anyhow.
To satisfy the nerdy side of myself, I have also created some nerdy facts and diagrams this time, partly to find out a little about myself and my cinematic taste, partly to present them to you.
Nerdy diagrams:
The decades
I knew that I like a lot of newer films, but this result is quite surprising to be honest. Especially the large amount of 2010 films. And what happened to the thirties?
Proportion of male vs. female directors
Here is something I definitely want to change. The problem is just that there are very female directors, opposed to male ones, and many of the female directors are not that good. This is the sad truth. But I promise I'll try to look out for more female directed films... I want to see more of Sofia Coppola anyhow.
I read somewhere that women currently only make up 5% of all the directors in Hollywood, so I think your pie chart is a pretty close representation.
ReplyDeleteNow off to browse your new list.
Wow, that's really little! Actually 9% of my films are female directed, so I'm above average!
DeleteOf my top tier films I'm right about 11-12% directed by women. It's definitely a struggle but not wanting to increase it by having lower standards, I've decided to increase it by making a point to just watch a ton of films directed by women and let proportionality take its effect. I have a huge index of the female-directed films I've watched at my blog (direct link to the page on my name) if you need some ideas.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, and thanks for the suggestion, I just checked out the list - it's huge! There's definitely a lot of inspiration there.
DeleteReally love the charts, such a great idea!
