Different people have different styles, but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment, with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision, and everything can be obsessed over. It looked like a nightmare or a fantasy of a writer who can write in so many different dimensions. This is someone who has so many ideas and options and directions to go for every little thing, and everything has to communicate some backstory in his head that he can’t speak fast enough to tell you.
